News The Disney+ (The New Streaming Service) Thread

[Dick Whitman]

Early Sesame Street Kermit’s voice was slower delivery and deeper. That is closest comparison to Matt Vogel’s take I can recall.

My mom and I tried to watch Hamilton this morning, but it's almost impossible to understand the chorus with my TV's shitty speakers on the back. It's usually OK, but anytime you get more than two or three people singing at once, you can't understand a word they are singing. We'll probably try again another time with the subtitles on.

My wife and I watched last night. We saw it previously on tour a few years back. So good. But yes, a good sound system does live theater recordings wonders.

 

[Skywalker]

Hamilton was wonderful.

I'd love to see more recorded Broadway performances like this.

 

[JD]

There are actually quite a few out there. I think it's free anywhere, but there's a real good one of The Phantom of the Opera that was on Netflix for a while. Disney+ also has a recorded live performance of the Newsies musical, and I've also seen ones for Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Oklahoma with Hugh Jackman and a few others.
If you are in the US and you get PBS, they have a series, Great Performances, that is made up entirely of opera, ballet, and Broadway musical performances.

They've been showing some different performances on Youtube but they tend to be limited time affairs so you have to catch them in the small windows they're available.

Here's a couple links. You can see from some of the past video clips what you've missed if you didn't catch them.

X-Men Days of Future Past is the first Fox X-Men movie to stream on Disney+.

I also saw Solo: A Star Wars story, which I last remember being on Netflix. So that deal must have expired.

 

[JD]

I think The Incredibles 2 is the last, or at least one of the last, Disney movies still on Netflix.

They’ve been on the UK one since it launched here.

 

[JD]

They might have been ones with an old contract that prevented them from adding them before now in the US. It wasn't any of the streaming services, but apparently some of the TV deals also affected the streaming services. I think they had been on FX and/or FXX, so that might have been it.

I haven't looked but are they going to make "The Rogue Cut" available, too? I know I'm in the minority, but I actually prefer that version (although I get why others don't).

X-Men Days of Future Past is the first Fox X-Men movie to stream on Disney+.

And according to Huge Action its also the first to stream uncensored.

 

[JD]

I watched Days of Future Past for the first time since I saw in theaters, and I still loved it. It's definitely one of my favorite X-Men movies.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

And according to Huge Action its also the first to stream uncensored.

so far... it's something that has worried me since movies have been moving to streaming and ownership getting so consolidated that it's not good if the platforms start deciding to pull material from public consumption.

Like if this is legit, they censor cleavage in some cases?

They censored the other ones?

 

[JD]

They're not on Disney+ in the US, so they didn't here.
If they are being that paranoid, I'm shocked they didn't censor the shots of Mystiques bare blue ass.
The only thing that comes to mind is the fact that Splash is PG and DoFPT is PG-13. But then again they have shown asses in some of their PG animated movies, I think there's a scene where some of the characters moon another group in Brave, and I think at least one or two other animated Disney or Pixar movies show bare asses.

And according to Huge Action its also the first to stream uncensored.

That actually really surprised me. I never expected to see Hugh Jackman's naked butt on Disney plus.

 

[JD]

And Jennifer Lawrence's, or a body double's.

 

[Saul]

They censored the other ones?

I read that CGI hair was added to cover up some parts in 'Splash'. Had no idea they were doing any of that. Also read that they took a few F words out of Hamilton.

That actually really surprised me. I never expected to see Hugh Jackman's naked butt on Disney plus.

Maybe this is part of disney's negotiation to get him back into marvel or they consider his butt too pure to sensor.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Hamilton still had the F-Word, but they reduced the number to make it PG-13 instead of R.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I still don't get why Disney cares about arbitrary MPAA ratings.
