In an interview with Variety, Iger refers to the service as Disney Play, which hopes to rival the crowded field that includes Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.

In the past, Iger has suggested that the new streaming service will cost less than its competitors.

We want to walk before we run when it comes to volume of content, he said, later adding, We have to put enough on to make sense from a price-to-value relationship perspective, Iger said.

Variety reports many of Disney's big hitters in 2019 will hit Disney Play after their theatrical run. The films include Captain Marvel, Dumbo, Toy Story 4, The Lion King, Frozen 2, and a future Star Wars film.

Disney is coming for Netflix's throne snatching wigs in its path...

While I do believe Disney will become a huge competitor, the one thing that’s really going to hurt them is not including anything ‘R’ rated. I think when a lot of people realize that they will hold onto their Netflix.

Not really. Netflix still has way more content. And if someone doesn't want Disney's content, they aren't going to buy Disney's service no matter how cheap it is. And plenty of other people are going to refuse to subscribe to yet another streaming service, no matter what they offer and no matter what the cost.

Disney's got a deep bench for potential content but if they don't do stuff for parents as well it could end up hurting them in the end. I'm a dad with kids (as opposed to a dad without kids?) there's a part of me that really really wants to sign up for yet another streaming service because you know Disney and kids go together like peanut butter and jelly but if there's not anything for me and my wife then is it really worthwhile.

Well Netflix has Orange is the New Black. I personally don't watch that, but a zillion other people do.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-28-2018, 12:40 PM

Netflix has all the Defenders shows, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Stranger Things, and a ton of other content. I ain't buying no Disney streaming plan.

It seems silly for Disney to not allow for their Touchstone films. It'd be something someone e needs to ask Iger.

Will cost less than Netflix... for how long? The first year?

**Jester** · 08-28-2018, 04:21 PM

And on how many screens, and at what picture quality...all things they will need to spell out for us.
