In addition to the standalone Disney + service, Hulu Senior Vice President Craig Erwich says you will also be able to get Disney plus as a Hulu add-on.

Like other add-ons, like HBO, subscribing to Disney + through Hulu will mean that you will have to use the Hulu application to watch shows like The Mandalorian and Falcon and Winter Soldier.

As confirmed directly by Dolby, Disney + will offer content in both Dolby Vision – Dolby’s dynamic version of HDR, which squeezes the best contrast out of every scene – as well as Dolby Atmos support – which provides an immersive hemispherical soundstage for those with compatible hardware.

While Dolby Vision is turning out to be more regular, both Vision and Atmos remain rarities, upheld by a few couples of services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and just on select content.

We don’t yet know what content will feature any of Dolby’s A/V enhancements on Disney +, but if its streaming rivals are any indicator, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos will probably just be offered for more up to date unique arrangement, similar to The Mandalorian, and others.

Also, Disney + Hotstar will offer four simultaneous streams of its service on multiple devices at the same time, for its base rate of $7 per month.

6. TV Shows and Movies for Disney Plus Hotstar

After months of speculation about what will be part of the Disney Plus streaming service, the company has finally confirmed a long list of shows and movies that will be available to subscribers.

The video message says “It arrived. The. Time. Of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Mandalorian, this is everything coming to #DisneyPlus in the United States on November 12. ”

The Disney Plus Twitter account then proceeded to give each of the projects that will be available on launch day its post after the announcement, allowing fans to get nostalgic for some of the classic offerings at the service’s launch.

7. Disney Original Productions

A few unique Star Wars ventures were created for the Disney+ service, including the primary true to life Star Wars series The Mandalorian, which follows the adventures of a shooter from space not long after the production events of the first Star Wars set of three.

Concerning Marvel, Disney plus will incorporate (in any event) seven activity series tied straightforwardly to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all of which will include set up MCU entertainers.

In the spring of 2021, Loki will tell us the story of the trickster god from the alternate universe who escaped with Tesseract during Endgame’s time travel antics, while Wanda Vision will help Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

In the fall of 2021, Hawkeye will see Clint Barton train his replacement, a young woman named Kate Bishop.

Later, Ms Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight will introduce some new heroes to the MCU, although all three characters should be familiar to dedicated Marvel acolytes. Kamala Khan, Jen Walters, and Marc Spector are expected to join their MCU co-stars on the big screen once their respective series have debuted.

An animated show called What If? will explore what might have occurred if certain occasions in the MCU had happened unexpectedly.

For example, the first chapter will explore a world in which Peggy Carter – and not Captain America – receives the super-soldier serum, transforming her into a hero named Captain Carter. Almost every major MCU actor will be reprising their characters on the big screen, though Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Pratt don’t appear to be on board. What if? It will run for 23 episodes, one for each MCU movie so far.

Other Disney + original series include Muppets Now, a “short-form unscripted series,” Monsters at Work, a cartoon based on the Pixar Monsters, Inc. franchise, a Toy Story 4 spin-off called Forky Ask a Question, a revival of Hannah Montana, and other action series (live and animated) for adults and young people.

Specific Fox titles, including Home Alone, are slated to remake Disney +, while several unscripted series and original National Geographic content are also in the works. You can see the full list here.

Disney + also boasts a vast collection of pre-existing content, including new Disney movies like Frozen 2, Toy Story 4, Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, and the live-action remake of The Lion King.

Almost every movie in the Disney catalogue will – eventually – be available on the service, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger, including all the animated film previously locked in the Disney “vault.” The only exception is Song of the South, which Disney has buried since the ’80s due to its racially inappropriate content (a racist scene from the animated Dumbo for Disney + will also be removed).

In no time, Disney + will be the only place where you can find some of the biggest entertainment franchises, making it a must-have for fans of Star Wars, Marvel, the Disney Channel, or classic Disney animated cartoons.
