What does Disney+ include?

Disney+ currently hosts hundreds of Disney-related movies and television series. Classic animated features likeSnow White and the Seven DwarfsandPinocchioare there, as is modern-day Disney Channel fare likeDescendants, vintage live-action features includingThe Parent TrapandOld Yeller, forgotten oddities like the made-for-TVFuzzbucket, a huge collection of ’90s Marvel cartoons, almost every Star Wars flick, Pixar movies, and much, much more.

While the service includes most Marvel movies, there are still some MCU films that are harder to come by on Disney+ due to licensing agreements with other streamers, such as Netflix. Titles such as the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies and Edward Norton’sIncredible Hulkcome and go from the service, for example. You will, however, find all of the X-Men films, and, happily, the Star Wars universe is all present and accounted for on Disney+.

Disney+’s original productions are where things get exciting. In addition to Star Wars TV shows likeObi-Wan Kenobi(which is set betweenRevenge of the SithandA New Hopeand sees Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their roles from the prequel films),TheMandalorian, andThe Book of Boba Fett —Disney+ continues to hosta slew of live-action Star Wars series. These include theRogue Oneprequel,Star Wars: Andor, in which Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk reprised their roles from that film, andAhsoka, in which Rosario Dawson continues her starring turn as Anakin Skywalker’s embattled former Padawan.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe seriesFalcon and Winter Soldier,Loki,WandaVision, andHawkeyehave already hit big on Disney+, in which big-screen stars like Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Hiddleston reprised their roles that directly affected Marvel’s big-screen adventures, includingDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The latest string of shows introduces new characters likeMs. Marvel,She-Hulk, andMoon Knightto the MCU before they appear in feature films.

You’ll also find the entire Pixar library, including new movie releases likeInside Out 2,Elemental, andLightyear, as well as the whole gamut of Disney Animation Studios films likeEncantoandRaya and the Last Dragon.

Speaking of animation, Disney+ is now home to the entireSimpsonscatalog, and after afix for the aspect ratiowas issued, they’re all available in their original glory. The platform does not include the season 3 premiere episode,Stark Raving Dad,however, which features the voice of Michael Jackson.

How much does Disney+ cost?

The cost of Disney+ in the U.S. depends on the subscription plan you choose:

Disney+ Premium (no ads): $15.99 per month or $159.99 per year. This plan provides ad-free streaming, immersive sound with Dolby Atmos audio (on select content), up to 4K UHD & HDR video quality, streaming on four devices at once, and unlimited downloads on up to 10 devices.

Disney also offers bundle options that include Hulu and ESPN+, providing potential cost savings compared to subscribing to each service separately. These bundles have different pricing based on whether they include ads and the specific services.

For example, theDisney Bundle Duo Basic(Disney+ and Hulu, both with ads) costs $10.99 monthly, while theDuo Premium(both without ads) is $19.99 per month. There are also Trio bundles with ESPN+ and bundles that include Max.

Impressive video and audio quality

Disney+ offers select content inDolby Vision, Dolby’s dynamic version of HDR that offers evolving content to supported TVs to squeeze the best contrast out of each scene, as well asDolby Atmos, which provides an immersive, hemispheric soundstage for those withsupported hardware.

While Dolby Vision is becoming more common, both Vision and Atmos are still rarities in streaming land,supported by only a few serviceslike Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ and available on a limited but growing amount of content. One of the most tantalizing aspects of Disney+’s 4K content  — for Star Wars fans at least — is the availability of its Star Wars films, including the original trilogy (that is, the ’90s special editions) in 4K with Dolby Vision and Atmos support. This makes Disney+ the only way to view these films in these formats.

And if that wasn’t enough, 15 of its MCU movies are available inIMAX format, which makes the image 26% taller (if your TV or projector is capable).

For those wondering about family viewing, Disney+ offers four simultaneous streams at once on its service for its basic $8-per-month fee.

What it won’t include

In keeping with Disney’s family-friendly approach to programming, there won’t be any R-rated projects available on Disney+. Any movies or TV series that push the boundaries of Disney’s typical PG-13 audience will be diverted to Hulu, according to various reports. This includes titles like Marvel’sDeadpool.

How do I get Disney+?

Starting a Disney+ subscription is as easy as heading over to theDisney+ websiteand creating an account. Once you’ve selected a membership, you’ll be able to start streaming movies and shows right away.

Unfortunately, at this time, Disney+ does not offer a free trial for any of its subscription tiers.
