Pretty impressive when they haven't been around that long. Shows like Mandalorian and WandaVision seem to have a huge pull.
I wish I was more in to that sort of stuff as it does seem like a good service.

Hey your back!
Nice to see you around again.
I’m probably in the minority of not being a subscriber

Thanks!
Same here. I have heard people chatting about WandaVision for weeks now. I do feel left out, but I'm not sure if I would get it.
I have a very specific taste when it comes to shows, I suppose.

I still have it for free. Gonna unsub when they want me to pay. Not enough there to warrant the monthly drip feed.

Disney got access to Fox Studios in Sydney with the buyout so they’re using that to film a couple of the movies.

Oh then never mind. Hopefully it gets filming moving quicker at least.

It’s such a great idea and concept that turns into typical marvel dribble, you’re only missing everything till the season finale. Then you lose interest lol

On top of that, it is included with other bundles in several countries.

Star doing some work. It used to me my least used service, but has quickly shot up to my most used.
The streaming quality on it is just so much better than Prime or Netflix, and they offer a bunch of stuff not available anywhere else here, on top of having the best picture for stuff that is in other services.

Great service, fantastic catalog.
Now with Star with more average mature movies.... It also has "Bringing out the dead", one of the underrated Scorsese's masterpieces.

I think they actually do deserve props for the focus on "quality over quantity", or at least keeping things focused at all. I've canceled all subscriptions at this point (other than I doing a month of free Paramount+ to see Star Trek Discovery Season 3).
I don't like Disney or their tactics - a truly evil company. BUT, I'm hoping they bring Netflix down a peg. Somebody needs to challenge their dominance.

Eh? They announced like a dozen Marvel and Star Wars shows last year. WandaVision and most of the Mandalorian were just kind of ok for the most part too.

A dozen Marvel + a dozen Star Wars is nothing compared to Netflix outputs.
And I say quality in quotes because at least that is how they are perceived, as good shows.

LOL thats what I was thinking. Its clubbed with Hotstar here so that automatically gets a LOT of subscribers from that.

I mean the entire world has been forced to stay home for a solid year and not do anything but watch streaming. No shit they are going to sell a bunch of streaming during that. When the government is killing your competition for you, wow who could have seen that coming?

I am glad I did the 3 year plan. I wouldn't pay full price now. Although I doubt I will ever unsubscribe as my daughter will be turning 2 soon and will want to watch all the Disney shows.

Will be interesting to see the post price-hike numbers.
These successful services print money w/ little risk. And Disney will still charge on top of that for their prestige content if you want it day-one (or not have it on there at all, and still rake in theater money assuming we don't all die.)
At $80 a year that's 8 billion dollars.. that's more revenue than Disney has ever made at the Box Office in a year. People forget that Box Office revenue goes less than 50% to the studios.
Insane... granted this also is potentially taking away money from TV viewership, so it shouldn't just be considered a replacement for the box office.. but.. the box office hasn't actually died yet.

Good service for kids, but as an adult I don't see much content on there for me to justify paying for another streaming service.
Moving forward, I can see Disney+ becoming the de facto "TV" for kids in a household in the near future.

Ya recently watched them again. Can honestly say the first 7 seasons are some of the best TV of all time. Some scenes had me in tears. Sad they can’t continue with that quality. I feel like they started to chase the family guy type humour later on and it just wasn’t right

And they still have to add a ton of content thats not there right now

Respectable numbers.

I'm going through all of South Park on Australian Amazon Prime at the moment, I think I'll make my way through Simpsons afterwards. I've honestly never seen anything after season 8 and I'm curious to see how the show progresses from then on.

I paid for a year and was not planning to renew. I was hoping for more old disney cartoons, but they have only a handful. And it is not easy to watch them back to back. They are 6 minutes a piece and you have to select each one. Not easy to binge watch them. I am not into any of the new Marvel movies. Maybe I check out Wanda Vision, but I doubt I will like it as much as Mandalorian. Not much more to look forward to in my opinion.

That was a mistake sorry. They moved their filming to one of their newly acquired fox studios. Another poster corrected me

I’ve had a great time with the service. Watched all of Clone Wars. Currently getting through Rebels. Loved WandaVision. I’m looking forward to all the Marvel and Star Wars shows they have coming.

good for them!
not really for me though. so far i've only signed up to watch the mandalorian episodes when it aired. watched some pixar movies but that's it. can't stand Marvel bullshit. not much else convinces me to keep paying. i'll be back whenever there's new Star Wars stuff or a new animated movie or I get an itch to watch old classics.

Honest I watch it far less than Netflix or Hulu. It is on the chopping block for when I have to start paying for it.
