Disney starting its own Streaming Service

[dsmith51]

To rival Netflix, Disney is starting its own streaming service, and pulling all of its content off of Netflix. This is a huge blow to Netflix!

Will you order the service once it becomes available?

Unless they are going to confiscate the DVDs in my collection, I have no need for their streaming service. I own the Disney content I care about.

They will be sending the Goofy Squad round to remove all your media

I wonder if they will have better luck than they did with their venture into the cell phone service biz....

Disney getting into the streaming service business to compete against Netflix and other streaming services means that Disney will have to do much more than release their already established content. They'll have to create new content for their streaming service to garner subscribers. I just wonder what this means for the Marvel-Netflix shows.

Doesn't it mean they won't be on Netflix any more?

That's the thing, those shows are specifically made for Netflix. So, my guess is that Disney will once again have to honor what has already been contractually agreed upon and continue to produce those shows for Netflix.

Netflix distributes the shows. Marvel Television produces them. So, Disney has every right to pick up the distribution rights either when the series ends or when Marvel offers Netflix a good deal. Disney, through Marvel, has been able to play quite nicely with other studios lately.

While I love knight of the old republic, I want the big screen. I have a feeling that TV might be the only chance though.

I still say unless this service has the whole back catalog, its just not worth it. If not, I'll watch the star wars show, cancel, then start back up for season 2. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Also a remake of Lady and the Tramp is set to be part of the streaming service.

Sorry to raise a old topic, but I did not want to create a new one as well. The other night I was reading about Ant-Man and the Wasp will be the last Marvel film on Netflix due to the upcoming Disney streaming services. My after thought of reading this is I really really hope Disney will add all of the Muppet Shows seasons to this service.

Muppets: Likely to be there

WRT Netflix: Iger mentioned in the last quarterly call that arrangements with other streaming providers are possible (for an licensing fee, of course). They're not locked into exclusivity if they can be paid for it elsewhere.
