Disney+: Already, Nearly A Must-Have

Aside from its classic in-house films, Disney probably owns a few other entertainment properties you care about, among them Pixar and Marvel. Disney+, the company’s new video streaming service, delivers the vast majority of the content it owns in attractive interfaces with competitive features such as 4K streaming, offline downloads, and personalized recommendations.

Although Disney+ suffered some launch day connectivity problems, it now performs without issue in our testing. Disney+’s initial release is already competitive with top services and will only grow stronger as it's content offerings expand.

WHAT CAN YOU WATCH ON DISNEY+?

Disney has been a major media player for a long time, and lately, its rate of growth has really shot up. The company’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox adds a substantial number of shows and movies to Disney’s arsenal, though not all of Fox’s titles are available to stream on Disney+ yet. Still, the service currently features around 7,500 TV episodes and over 500 movies with more original content on the way.

On the TV side, Disney+’s library comprises a combination of existing shows and upcoming originals. Older Disney shows on the platform include Even Stevens, Gravity Falls, Kim Possible, Lizzie Maguire, Phineas, and Ferb, That’s So Raven, and The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. The Simpsons is also available, but other animations such as Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, Futurama, and King of the Hill are currently not, likely due to existing streaming rights.

Apart from those fan favorites, Disney+ offers originals such as Encore!, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Marvel’s Hero Project, The Mandalorian, and The World According to Jeff Goldblum. Disney+ has announced other original series, such as Loki (and several other Marvel titles), Monsters at Work, and Timmy Failure, but those shows are not yet available.
