News The Disney+ (The New Streaming Service) Thread

I had a feeling this would happen, that's why I'm waiting till the weekend.

Of course, I tried to pre-order too but I'm Canadian so it wasn't available.
 
Also announced a brand new show:
EJHjmX-UYAAwZye


Though this may just be a commercial/trailer/preview thing, as it's described as "a new look at the original series coming to the service".

Just a 15 minute promo taken from what looks like D23. Quick showings of all the Marvel series coming. There are allot of them.
 
Finally able to get on the PS4 app, and watched The Mandalorian and an episode of Star Wars Rebels.
 
Logged in for the first time about 11:30am local time, and had no connection or server problems of any kind. So hopefully that's resolved, at least for now. Sucks to hear that they had so many problems on such a high profile launch.

Watched the first episode of The Mandalorian and was not the least bit disappointed. But going through the catalog of available stuff, my watchlist has completely bloated. I'm diving into Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck next, but I could be here a while. This service is going to earn it's keep in my household for a while, between all the stuff I already can't wait to rewatch and everything my girlfriend has told me to add for her. An impressive lineup at launch, and it should only grow better as more of their back catalog comes online, not to mention their originals.

Dollars well spent, so far.
 
So, according to TV Guide:
Also, according to the Twittersphere, in what I guess shouldn't be a surprise, Disney decided not to allow viewing of The Simpsons episode "Stark Raving Dad" (i.e. the Michael Jackson episode).

  • The Greedo/Han "who shot first?" scene in Episode IV has been edited yet again.
Ha! That's hilarious! Speaking as someone who's always thought the whole "who shot first" controversy to be absolutely ridiculous, I hope they keep on changing things while randomly putting the new cut on the service. It should be like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, no two versions are alike. The fanboys outcry and tears would be worth it. Almost as entertaining as the movie itself.
:lol:

ETA: The change is ridiculous, absurd and adds nothing to the story. I love it!

I never understood the outcry. Whatever. Have fun with all the edits :D

I guess I'm not a fanboy because I can't tell what's been changed. :lol:
 
Just a warning, a lot of the stuff that isn't being added until next year or 2021 already has pages up, but you can't actually watch them yet.
 
What doesn't play seems to be random depending on the device. I couldn't get to The Rocketeer on my phone this morning, but my wife was able to bring up the same page on her ipad no problem. We'll see how it is when I get home.
 
I went straight to the Disney Afternoon shows from back in the day. Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, Darkwing Duck etc. Each show stated off with a premiere “movie” that was broken up into 5 parts the first week they launched. Those are all missing and the shows start with the first episode from the following week.
