I hadn't watched the clip until now. I actually enjoyed it until about the last 5 seconds or so. Shoving Dumbo in there and then Maggie taking off like Tinkerbell was just too much.I feel so sick to my stomach.

It sure is a way to get the point across that they are now owned by Disney though. Just putting them on Disney+ is actually a big statement towards making sure people realize they own them since only Disney owned media will be on the service.
Well Simpsons still has a few more years regardless, I believe. I'm sort of more interested in the Bob's Burgers of it all, though. There's supposed to be a movie happening, hopefully that doesn't change with Disney in charge.Maybe The Simpson’s won’t end anytime soon with Disney in charge of them.

So many announcements. So many. I feel like I have to bullet things because they announced so much.
I want to bring up the Netflix comparison again. Disney wants to be making 5-6B a year by 2024. Netflix is currently making 15B a year.
- UI doesn’t look half bad but also looks like a exact clone of the old Apple TV UI
- Disney wants 60-80M subscribers by 2024. (That would be 420M-560M a month, 5.4B-6.7B a year). Netflix is at 140M subs today. That actually doesn’t seem that ambitious.
- Phineas and Ferb is coming back!!
- I don’t fully understand how they decide which shows go on Hulu and which on Disney+
- The Marvel shows sound like limited series. I don’t see them getting season 2s.
This venture only works if Disney assumes that Disney+ will only cannibalize their home video sales and their streaming/TV rights sales. Even then, there’s a decent chance that come 2024, Disney realizes that they’re making less money post-steaming than pre-streaming.
If Disney+ starts to cannibalize their theater sales (why should I go to the movies when Disney+ will for sure have it in a couple months?), this could be a really bad financial move for them.
$6.99 per month!?
WOW
$7 a month seems very reasonable. I guess I'll probably have to be in at that price point.
It certainly won't cannibalize blockbusters, but movies like, say, live-action Dumbo? That under-performed at the box office as-is? Yeah, you can probably expect less films like that on their slate. They probably will want their film slate to be almost all blockbusters/must-see-movies while some of the lesser movies start to get made as Disney+ originals.If Disney+ starts to cannibalize their theater sales (why should I go to the movies when Disney+ will for sure have it in a couple months?), this could be a really bad financial move for them.
Seems to me that PG-13 and under go on Disney+. PG-13 and above go on Hulu.I don’t fully understand how they decide which shows go on Hulu and which on Disney+
The packages they'll be able to do for Hulu Live TV & Disney+ will be really hard to beat. Honestly, I think Comcast is gonna HAVE to sell their stake in Hulu. Right now, all they are doing is helping Disney by being owners because they are contractually obligated to provide their channels by being owners. If Comcast sells, they can get out and stop helping Disney for little to no gain.
Maybe, we'll see. I just think if Hulu wasn't able to offer the Comcast or AT&T owned channels, yeah, Disney might be a theoretical 100% owner, but what does that do to Hulu Live TV? That has to hurt it's stock no? If both AT&T and Comcast left, that's a ton of channels they'd be losing and then audiences have to question, what exactly are they paying for at that point. I think Hulu is in a better position right now being at 60% majority Disney ownership than it would be at 100% ownership by someone.Disagree...Hulu is giving Comcast way more information on how Disney plans to operate as 3 NBCU members are on the board of Hulu and all the data collection they can obtain. Also the way Hulu is set up even if Disney as a majority owner and more seats they can't do much to the minority owners. So Comcast can make it rough for them and neuter some effects.

Depending on what it is and how many screens it’ll allow. I’m curious what the tiers are (if any).
