True but every major network or streaming platform wants a GoT style mega hit and will spend more then normal if a show can turn into one.
My dad got Disney+ so I downloaded the app. Holy crap there is a TON of stuff on here out of the gate. If this had been Nintendo we would have drip feed city on our hands. My Disney Afternoon shows are here! Darkwing Duck! We are gonna get sooooo dangerous!

Thankfully most companies are not on the Nintendo drip feed model, Stadia aside.

Disney+ comments on the 16:9 aspect ratio issues with the earlier seasons of the Simpsons and confirms they will be put back into the original 4:3 format in 2020

What more does he WANT? I already bought the dvds, AFTER I’d downloaded the entire series (unlike the dvd, the tvrips weren’t censored). I ain’t triple-dipping.
Probably cuz you can just go buy the dvds? shrug Maybe they plan on pulling some kind of massive stock pull sometime before next year and Disney Vault the movies.
Looks like. Lady And the Tramp 2 is dogshit, like…well, every remake so far. I suspect aside from Star Wars stuff, we can expect similar quality from most of the other live-action fare.
I think it’s awesome that the include actual DVD special features with all the movies on Disney+. But I’m salty about all the features on here that aren’t on the actual bluray. Like all the Endgame scenes that are popping up. Lol.
My Texans lost so badly I had to backtrack to the OG DuckTales. Dang, didn’t realize they had the episodes so out of order I had to research what they named the pilot and find it in the middle of the first season.

Yeah. Apparently that’s a common issue where a lot of the older series’ are uploaded out of order.
Disney tends to have episodes in the order they aired rather than production order. The DVD releases for all the Disney afternoon toons were the same way. Most of the pilots for the Disney Afternoon shows aired as movies on the Disney Channel back in the day. When they aired on non cable channels they were broken up in to multiple episodes. As such, some pieces are missing. For instance, Chip from Rescue Rangers just has his trademark hat in part 2 of To the Rescue. When it originally aired on DC it showed how he got it.
Yea, my Ravens beat you guys bad.
Aside from a few terrible calls, you all deserved the win and the OG Duck Tales episodes plus some games soothes the soul.

I bought a year subs. The experience has been very good (just watching some old X-Men cartoons currently).
For the minor problems, the sound drops a lot. I figured these are day 1 problems so I just reboot/refresh to fix. No big deal, I am streaming from my PS4

Its mostly growing pains from having 10 mill subs in only 3 days
I’m still waiting for a continue watching feature. I’m binging through Darkwing Duck and I’m not gonna to remember where I left off.

I brought this point up in a discussion at work. Netflix changed how we watch TV but not what we watch. Disney+ is the IV drip of yesteryear, thus making the service unbeatable. It is the culmination of the company profiting off of your childhood happiness. Can’t knock the hustle.

I’m legit debating subbing just for the 90s cartoons.

That’s exactly the thing. They have a resource that you are paying monthly for just to relive the days where you would get a giant bowl of your favorite cereal and plow through that Disney cartoon block with reckless abandon. I am not against the service, but I just want a bit more new stuff before I truly commit.

To me personally it’s already paid for itself with the Mandalorian but you also have stuff like the entire Disney Saturday Morning Block, 90’s Animated Marvel-Verse, Gargoyles (unedited btw), and tons of my old favorite movies like Sword and the Stone, Black Cauldron and Robin Hood?
Hell yeah.
For me it’s not even a nostalgia thing. The truly great shows, especially animated can be very of their time but still feel ageless. Much of Disney’s animated shows and/or the content their hosting feel that way, imo.
Is there some nostalgia factor there? Undoubtedly. Was it a selling point? Yes.
Was it the deciding factor? Naw.
