Those familiar with streaming services, like Netflix, will quickly adapt to using Disney Plus. Once logged in and with an active subscription plan, watching instantly begins!
Disney Plus provides access to some of Disney’s biggest franchises, like Star Wars, Pixar and National Geographic, classic animated films as well as an extensive library of ’90s Marvel cartoons.
Movies
Disney Plus is an impressive streaming service offering an expansive collection of movies and TV shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and National Geographic (a result of Disney’s purchase of 21st Century Fox).
Discover classic fairytales and modern blockbusters alike – as well as original movies and series from different studios – when you subscribe to Vudu. This is an immense advantage over other services which provide only an eclectic assortment of movies from different studios.
Disney Plus does not limit how many titles or how long they remain on your phone or tablet, making downloading freely possible and easily removable if needed. Keep in mind though, licensing agreements could change in the future making some downloaded titles unavailable due to shifting rights issues or other considerations.
TV Shows
Disney Plus is making waves for its stunning originals like The Mandalorian and WandaVision, but its back catalog offers classic titles too. Disney’s purchase of 21st Century Fox gave them an invaluable resource when it came to using nostalgia for new shows on Disney Plus.
There’s plenty of Marvel content, as well as Star Wars, Pixar and National Geographic titles. Additionally, some devices will even show an archive of episodes from The Simpsons organized by decade.
Family-friendly shows such as Gravity Falls and Jeremy Renner’s home renovation series Into the West can also be found. In terms of content that may not be appropriate for younger viewers, such as Pam & Tommy — an unfunny but hilarious look at an leaked sex tape released online in 2018 — provide tension-filled, humorous viewing. Alternatively, for something uplifting try Blackthorne which depicts an African boy and his dream to become a ballet dancer — an old-fashioned tale without pandering to children but instead touches hearts deeply.
Originals
Disney Plus provides plenty of original content to keep viewers occupied. It boasts all four installments of Star Wars in 4K resolution, alongside popular series such as The Mandalorian and Loki, plus plenty of Disney, Pixar and National Geographic shows and movies.
The interface is user-friendly; featuring a banner of featured content at the top of the home page and titles grouped under categories such as ‘Recommended for You’ and ‘Originals’. A Collections tab groups similar content together – for example all Winnie the Pooh movies or Mickey Mouse Through the Years films together.
Filter content easily by genre using the pull-out sidebar, and choose which download quality your device should use – perfect if you have limited data available or public WiFi, as this helps avoid high download charges. Disney Plus even features Group Watch which enables up to seven people at once to watch one movie or show remotely; combined with strong parental controls this makes Disney Plus an excellent option for families.
Animated Series
Disney Plus may be one of the newer streaming services, but it has quickly established itself as an industry powerhouse due to its vast catalog of iconic content. From fairytale princess movies and original scripted TV shows to science fiction and superhero adventures – not forgetting outposts from Walt Disney Company like National Geographic and 20th Century Fox – its offering spans it all.
Disney Plus app boasts an intuitive user experience similar to services such as Netflix and Hulu, with individual tabs for each offering and easy switching between user profiles, with children-oriented content easily visible when logging in as children users.
Fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe should rejoice to learn that Loki, the mischievous god of mischief, will finally have his own series on Disney Plus. Joined by an eclectic mix of characters in an offbeat sci-fi adventure aimed at both diehard and casual MCU viewers, Goosebumps should provide plenty of horror goodness to satisfy even die-hard readers of RL Stine books alike.
Family-Friendly Content
The Disney Plus App provides access to premier content from Disney studio’s major franchises such as Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars films and television shows as well as National Geographic which was acquired when Disney purchased 21st Century Fox.
Disney Plus App’s family-oriented design makes it an excellent option for parents who wish to ensure that their children view only age-appropriate material. Parental controls can help restrict profiles and set a 4-digit Profile PIN code so as to prevent children from accessing adult material without their parent’s approval.
Since Disney Plus does not license content from other film and television studios, an alternative streaming service might provide more variety. Furthermore, kids may become easily hooked on Disney content and spend too much time on it, which could take away from homework, outdoor playtime or sleep time. To manage screen time effectively and limit how long any video plays each day using Parental Controls PIN codes you can restrict a profile with PIN codes while setting automatic playback to limit how long a video plays per day.
