Disney to offer free full-length movies online!

Post by UmbrellaFish »

Yep, you read right. As a part of promoting "The Wonderful World of Disney" series on ABC, Disney will be releasing animated and live-action movies to the internet weekly. Here's the link:

Good for Disney and the rest. Since the beginning of the Disney TV shows starting with "Disneyland" back in 1954, followed by "Walt Disney Presents" in 1958, and then "The Wonderful World of Color" in 1961 and then "The Wonderful World of Disney" in 1969 and the lists goes on and on and on.

Today, for the first time ever, all of your favorite Disney films are all in one place on the internet. Thankfully Disney did a good job for bringing this stuff to you. Disney.com did put an official "Wonderful World of Disney" site where they can watch films which is streaming on demand 24/7. Thank goodness for that.

On this site, they will feature films that are shown on ABC on Saturday nights which would be online every week for a limited time, with no commercial interruptions. And right before the film, there is a new opening sequence featuring a CGI Tinkerbell and the same castle used for the Walt Disney Pictures new logo along with the same music from that new logo which is both being used for the opening sequence. Why not check this out!

How exactly do you get the movies?

Clicking on that link just took me to some Disney XD thing which doesn't seem to have any actual movies...

Did you wait for the webpage to load, because after that, a commercial appears, and then the movie begins.

Oh. Thought they were actually downloadable movies... Guess this is where the DownloadHelper plugin for Firefox comes in handy? 8)

They need to give Tinker Bell the plain wings and design she originally had. Those swirly designs are from Disney Fairies, not the pixie from Peter Pan and the Disney television programs before this!

But I like the intro! Cool!

Yep! I do love the new opening sequence, this is much, much familiar than the previous Disney intros from the past 5 decades on TV.

It does have the music which is the Walt Disney Pictures new logo where they matched the opening sequence as well. Perfect timing! There is also the same opening sequence on YouTube. Why not check this out if you don't have to watch the movies streaming online rather than this.

But it's more detailed! besides,I think this opening is more updated (Little Mermaid,Lion King and Mary Poppins on Broadway,Pixar films,High School Musical,Enchanted,Hannah Montana,Pirates Of The Caribbean and more) so it makes sense.
Anyway I really like it :D I"m really glad to see Giselle there :D I liked Broadway Ariel but shouldn't she be the animated Ariel?.
