Disney+

Has anyone signed up?

What will you be watching first?

I logged on before starting work this morning, and started where it all began, Steamboat Willie.

[sophizoey]

Signed up this morning, while I will be watching things I've not seen yet - I decided ny first viewing had to be of my all time favourite animated classic Aladdin. I've been without ability to play my DVD/blurays for a while so this is amazing.

Not wanting to carp, but where is 'One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing' with Peter Ustinov? I loved that as a kid!

Signed up earlier this week after seeing the list of what’s on the US version. Loads of stuff to keep me occupied and upbeat in the coming weeks.

I’m starting with the first episode of High school musical the series.

[ABr]

I signed up back when it was slightly cheaper before release. There's lots of stuff to keep people busy, as I own most of the classic animation cannon on DVD, but have very little Pixar, Marval or Star Wars, so that alone is enough to keep us going! There's also the new live actions which we have missed most of the new ones, so a great way to watch them, and not have to own them if we don't enjoy them!
Can't wait to get home tonight and start watching!

There's a solid amount of content, there are omissions like Song of the South which Disney has said will never debut on any platform and the MCU films made by other studios but overall pretty good.

It’s 6 months free with an O2 subscription I believe, although I think you might have to recontract.

I have a similar deal with Britbox on EE but I'm doing the 30 days trial first then doing the six months free with EE.

It looks a bargain with very many movies from Disneys back catalogue, including the classic `The Cat From Outer Space`.

[BurlyBeaR]

Is there an actual list of what’s available without signing up?

This should be exactly that.

Thank you!

If you're a Star Wars fan, then you must watch The Mandalorian. Loved every episode of it.

[Mark]

A strong recommendation from me is for "The Imagineering Story" - basically the history of Disney theme parks for the past 6 years. Fascinating

This is the first thing we watched last night! There is currently only episode 1, but there will eventually be 6, and I can't wait for the rest of them!!

[justfran]

I also signed up for the yearly pass at £49.99 - seems like a really good deal now as I’m impressed with the content. Added quite a few things to my watchlist yesterday. Started with High School Musical the series and enjoyed episode one so far. Looking forward to starting The Mandalorian.

[danb]

Guilty pleasure of the HSM programme, and loved ‘The Mandalorian’. Will prove to be a good investment I think.

Haha! That was definitely going to be the first thing I watched on there yesterday & then I made the same devastating discovery as you. Too racist, methinks. Lots of white actors playing comedy Chinamen.

[Rory]

Yes, you're probably right.

[BurlyBeaR]

I’m late to the party but oh my. Coco. 😍

What a beautiful film.

[Deleted]

Signed up for Hamilton, have still only watched Hamilton - must dip in to the rest, particularly now I have six months free from O2!

[BurlyBeaR]

Can we have some recommendations from our experts please?

[lynette]

Have a look at the very short pieces when they put the characters of the animated Films in the streets of New York, very funny. Dash running round a building and WallE and the wedding ring. And more.

I really enjoyed High School Musical the Musical the Series - didn’t expect it to be much but I ended up being pleasantly surprised and found it genuinely enjoyable.

Diary of a Future President is also very good, if youre into that kind of thing.

In terms of films, I really wish Enchanted was on there as it is one of my favourites.

[justfran]

I agree with aingidh HSM the series was extremely fun and enjoyable.

There’s some really good shorts under the films section (usually less than 10 minutes long). I particularly enjoyed The Blue Umbrella, Paperman and The Little Matchgirl (tissues required!).

They might not be my favourite ever films but there’s a lot on there if you just want something lighthearted or uplifting to watch. I’d recommend Million Dollar Arm, the Mighty Ducks trilogy, John Carter and of course the Disney classics we all know and love.
