Disney has done it again! I knew I would love it, but Disney went above and beyond my expectations with Disney+!

 

There is way more than you might think

When you think of Disney your mind probably jumps to Disney channel. So, you might assume that this is all that would be offered. Well, Disney owns and is partnered with a lot of other entertainment companies. This allows them to have Marvel, National Geographic, 21st-Century Fox and so much more on their streaming service. When you get Disney+ you are getting way more than what is just on Disney Channel.

It has everything

It has all the classic shows and movies dating back to the very start of Disney and all the way up to the current day. One of my favorite parts is the section for Nostalgic Movies. It took me back to my childhood, with classics such as “The Sound of Music,” and “Mary Poppins.” As well as originals exclusive to Disney+, such as the new “Highschool Musical” series and “The Mandalorian.” I am very impressed by the range from old to new, and like I said it’s not just Disney. There is everything from Marvel, Pixar, National Geographic and Star Wars.

Let’s talk about shorts

No, not those kinds of shorts! I am a huge animation fan! So, when I discovered that there is an entire section devoted to animated shorts I could not have been more excited! They have all of the normal Pixar shorts as well as a new category called Spark Shorts.

So much to offer

It’s nicely grouped into sections so if you want to watch a Pixar movie you just click on the Pixar tab. Or maybe you are in the mood for Marvel. With one click, you are transported to Marvel Universe. Also, something nice that they offer is a bundle plan so you can bundle Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

There is something for everyone on Disney+. Every time I look at it I find a show or movie that I forgot about. Or I discover new things. “Ratatouille?” They got it! “Incredibles?” Yep! “Captain Marvel?” You bet! How about “The Parent Trap?” They have that too!
