I know earlier in thread we talked about how Disney+ was dropping a handful of original titles.

Well, I saw yesterday that "The One and Only Ivan" is currently free with ads on YouTube, as well as "Crater." And maybe even more displaced movies.

That's really good to hear that they still have some opportunities for exposure, especially on a platform that viewers don't need to pay to access.

Yea, in 480p. That's not even HD, let alone 4k.

Odd, I thought with all the shady crap Disney’s been pulling the last couple months (Jimmy Kimmel being suspended and the whole AI crap), people would be unsubscribing in big numbers.

[PatchofBlue]

I personally suspended my D+ activity after they pulled Kimmell, only to reactivate after they reinstated him. A lot of people may have done the same.

Sandwiching Disney+ and HULU in the last month may have also obscured their losses.

[Disney Duster]

Does anyone know why Disney + has the 1965 Lesley Ann Warren Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella and Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal?

[Kyle]

probably something that was a hold over from hulu when they merged?

[Disney Duster]

Hmmm...what companies own Hulu? I thought it would be just Disney and Fox.
