Disney Plus: The end of the Disney Bunker is nearing

When Disney’s streaming service launches, it’ll be the end of an era. The bunker in which Disney preserves rarely seen treasures will be closed down.

Disney movies are never on TV. Disney movies aren’t available on any streaming platforms. Disney movies play in cinemas, then come out on DVD or Blu-Ray. Since the 1920’s, Disney has amassed a trove of countless movies that you can either buy or watch in cinemas if they get a revival.

This will all change in 2019.

Because Disney is launching a new streaming service called Disney Plus. Something interesting: the website will definitely be available in German.

«Disney Plus will contain the entire Disney motion picture library,» Disney CEO Bob Iger told online news portal Polygon.

100 years of Disney movies

Essentially, Bob Iger’s statement is «the bunker is part of the past». Because with the launch of Disney Plus – the exact date is still unknown – every movie Disney has ever produced will be available on the online portal. This means you can watch Snow White whenever you want. Just like the new live-action version of «Kim Possible».

But Disney isn’t just stopping at movies. Aside from animated and live-action movies, TV-series from 1954’s «Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Colour» to 2019’s «Star vs. The Forces of Evil» and everything still to be created will be featured.

Star Wars, Marvel and National Geographic on top of that

Further, National Geographic documentaries will be on Disney Plus, one of them probably being the Oscar winner «Free Solo».

Oh, and all of Pixar as well. Just so you know.
