Yikes. My interest in that shit just died. It just doesn’t make sense. Is it a service for children and families? Imagine Fox, Disney, Fox TV, ABC, Touchstone, Pixar, Marvel, and Disney Animation on one service? It could’ve been monstrous, but this shit... what a fucking waste of time.

Seem to be, I imagine the previous marvel tv show will stay on Netflix when the rest move (and maybe they had no choice)?

 

Most of the brand you pointed, Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Disney Animation was pretty obviously going to not do any R-rated stuff anytime soon, lot of values in their product that make sure audience never feel unconformable for any second of the runtime even if they are watching with the grand parents and 8 year's old.

I want Nolan to be my dad

[CoolioD1]

hopefully nolan's son has seen interstellar and thought "gee thanks"

[WrathOfHan]

The main takeaway from that Deadline article is the service is essentially going to be Disney's version of Filmstruck: have a decent chunk of the library in rotation with the more popular titles kept away to generate physical and digital sales.

He's actually got three sons. Nolan must hate them a lot, can't even stretch them out into separate characters.

wonder if they have arguments about which one is the interstellar son and which one is the dunkirk son. you know nolan hates one of his kid's friends and that's who george is based on.

The Anna Kendrick Christmas film is too when it was aiming for a November 8, 2019 release. I guess they saw no point in holding off on a finished film for more than a year but still...

Well isn't Comcast looking to outbid for Fox now?

I'm not sure why people are surprised about the Disney thing: of course they wouldn't jeopardize their name as kid-friendly entertainment. Kids and family entertainment is their bread-and-butter -- it's their core demo.

They're working on a 3 men and a baby remake, Tele

If I can get the old Disney movies and tv shows, like before 1990 I'll be happy.  That's why I had an interest in this in the first place.

They couldn't even have a section in their streaming service for older viewers though?  It's not like they haven't distributed R rated films in the past.

But they're getting Fox. They have ABC Studios. Why not mash all this together? Netflix would be over. Almost anybody would buy into it “I can get The Simpsons, Archer, Scrubs, Greys Anatomy, Golden Girls, AND the Pixar library for $10 a month? Sign me the fuck up”. These Disney people are jokers.
