Disney Plus (Streaming Service)

[Farerb]

Does it cost much to put stuff on the streaming service?

You need to have more storage space and if it's a popular title I presume more servers to handle the high demand.

I really wish Disney would add some older TV films that used to air on the Disney Channel but first debuted on ABC like Life-Size, Model Behavior, and My Date with the President's Daughter. Also I'd love to see the Eloise films again. Disney Channel used to air them so much and I completely forgot that Julie Andrews was in them because I haven't seen them in so long.

I am surprised all of the Wonderful World of Disney movies weren't added Day 1 like the Disney Channel Original Movies were, but I'm sure they will be added eventually.

The few Wonderful World of Disney movies I was able to find on Disney+ were Annie, Miracle at Midnight and Ruby Bridges. In addition to the ones Jean Grey Forever mentioned, Tower of Terror and the 1997 Love Bug movie (since all of the other Herbie movies are on there) also make sense to have on Disney+.

It is sad that Disney has almost 100 years worth of content, but only give the general public 40-50 years of content.

I'm curious to know what transfer of Little Mermaid they're showing on Disney +? Is it the Diamond or the Signature one? Thanks

[Big Disney Fan]

I would like to know something: how can Disney make money off of something that is available on the streaming service? Like, say, "Onward"? Or "Artemis Fowl", which they'v decided to just release straight to Disney Plus? Yes, I know there is a membership fee of $7 or so, but isn't that kind of a one-price-pays-all deal?

With theaters, it's fairly simple: when you buy a ticket, it goes toward the studio that produced it, and when you buy concessions, that supports the theater. But I have no idea how a movie studio can make money on a movie that goes directly to streaming. Doesn't the membership fee cover just that, the membership fee, not any individual movies? It seems to be a lot more complicated than just simply paying for it in the theater. And it should be noted also that Disney Plus is not likely to make a profit until 2024 at least.

Question about the Belle's Magical World midquel film on Disney+ Canada:

Does it contain the Mrs. Potts' Party segment from the DVD version or is just like the original VHS release wit just the other 3 shorts? Cuz apparently Belle's Tales of Friendship, which had Mrs. Potts' Party on VHS sin't on Disney+

I don't live in Canada so I can only tell you what I've experienced in the US but I imagine it's the same case. There was no Mrs. Potts' Party on Disney+ sadly, not even as an extra feature. I was hoping they would include it as well since I remember the DVD (which I own) did include it but that wasn't the case

Thank you so much for answering. Is the Beauty and the Beast Special Edition version with Human Again on there too?

What bothers me is that they also cut Belle’s second song “A Little Though”...

This song was in the original VHS, right?

No Human Again on Disney+ for whatever reason. Disney doesn't include extended versions of their other films either like Pocahontas or Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I can't remember if that song was in the VHS and DVD or not but that isn't on Disney+. I have no idea why it was omitted. Do you remember where in the original film it was included?

Splash, Lilo and Stitch and Adventures in Babysitting are censored on Disney+.

[Farerb]

This is the change in Lilo & Stitch. As far as I know it was always altered for the UK, so this is nothing new. If I had to guess the UK got that version, but the US has the original. I don't have D+ so I can't check that.

Original:


Changed:

It took me a minute to see the difference but I do remember that there were worries about suffocating a child from this shot which is why it was censored.

I would like to know this too. Get off your asses and explain.

[estefan]

When I noticed Adventures in Babysitting was on Disney+, I immediately checked to see if they had kept Elizabeth Shue's infamous f-bomb. I guess I wasn't too surprised they used the tv edit, seeing as they want to promote it as a family friendly platform.

The Splash edits are pretty funny, though. Apparently, Bart Simpson's junk in The Simpsons Movie is okay, but don't let the children see a bottom!

It kind of reminds me of that infamous "Sonic Says" sketch from the end of that early "Sonic the Hedgehog" cartoon series (where Sonic is voiced by Jaleel White (or should I say, Steve Urkel) of all people), in which he advises against climbing into a dryer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TjLc6096Tk
