Launched in November 2019 in the United States, then in April 2020 in France, Disney+ reached 100 million paying subscribers in record time.With its enormous catalog of franchises, this is undoubtedly the competitor capable of making Netflix the most shade among the video streaming services.

Disney+ has continued to enrich its catalog over the months by offering many original content, successful Marvel series like Loki, Wandavision or Falcon and the Winter Soldier especially.But also animated films and feature films that should have released in the dining room and which are offered a leading showcase.This was the case of Mulan and Soul, awarded to the Oscar.In June 2021, Raya and the last dragon and Luca arrived.

What films and series are in the Disney+catalog?

Disney+ offers a large number of films and series of these different catalogs, but also of the original content designed directly for the platform through its six universes.The bulk of the Disney+ service initially focused on "family" content and all audiences, symbolized by the heroines of the Disney universe and world famous films.But he has since been enriched with a star, a space with "more adult" content, with unpublished films and series, Oscar -winning films or worldwide success.

National Geographic lists documentaries of all kinds.The Pixar space brings together all the animated films and short films of the famous studio while Marvel and all its superheroes as well as Star Wars are spaces offering content around franchises (films, series, documentaries ...).What delight fans.

Among the content exclusive to the platform which made the renowned of the platform, we find Star Wars the Mandalorian, the fabric of the heroes or the recent Wandavision, taken from the Marvel universe and which recently boosted the Disney+.But also the Mulan and Soul films which were released directly on the platform, or the adaptation of the beautiful and the tramp.

The platform welcomed other superheroes with the original Falcon series and the winter soldier with Sebastian Stan (James Barnes/Le Loup Blanc) and Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Le Faucon) in the skin of the new Marvel characters.Throughout the six episodes, they will have to take over from Captain America and overcome their disputes, in a story that takes place after Avengers: Endgame.A series that does not betray the MCU spirit and takes up the same codes: action, fighting and humor.As with all Disney+original series, you will have to be satisfied with one episode per week, just to raise the craze around the program.A tactic that goes against the binge-watching established by Netflix.

Disney also announced that other content is being produced, especially in the Star Wars and Marvel universes.Made in France content, specially designed in France, are also announced.They will be added to the very many French productions which have recently been added to the catalog of the streaming service (jappeloup, the artist, I promise you, do not do that ...).Note also that the catalogs are different depending on the countries.France is particularly strict on the chronology of the media and certain content available in other countries can arrive much later with us for this reason.

How does Disney+ cost?

L‘abonnement Disney+ est disponible à 8,99 euros mensuels.

Disney+ Star is only for adults?

Nope.The new universe of Disney+ takes its distance from the princesses, the animated films Pixar and the nice family films, but do not imagine finding censored content there.They are above all films and series intended for more mature audiences (+16 or +18), but which remain programs that can be broadcast on large national channels.

There are notably famous series (Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, Buffy, Desperate Housewives, Lost ...), Oscar -winning films (Titanic, 3 Billboards, Black Swan ...), popular successes (crystal trap, Alien, Moulin Rouge, Rouge Moulin,Pretty Woman…), but also sports documentaries from ESPN or historic programs.

Is Disney+ content in 4K?

Unlike Netflix which makes the 4K pay in its most expensive subscription, Disney+ directly offers films and 4K series in its basic subscription.With Disney+ it is therefore possible to take advantage of the "ultra high definition on a selection of content".This high definition was not available at the launch of the service due to restrictions linked to containment at the beginning of 2020, but this constraint was lifted afterwards.Compatible devices can also enjoy the Dolby Atmos sound.

It is important to note that on Android, Disney+ nevertheless requires a Widevine L1 certified device to read content.Also, some smartphones for example simply do not have access to videos.It is a more restrictive policy than among competitors like Netflix who still disseminate their content in 480 p on these devices.

How does the service work?

It is possible to connect to the platform for many supports.A Disney+ account can contain 10 different profiles and broadcast on 4 different screens simultaneously.It is possible to create children's, adolescents or adult accounts, and to limit access to the youngest using a PIN code as well as a reinforced parental control.This is especially necessary for the new star space which includes more mature programs, reserved for over 18s.

Disney+ also offers group viewing (up to 7) with its Groupwatch function which allows you to trigger the same program with several, without being in the same place.You can then look at it at the same pace, putting on pause for everyone or in advance/fast return.

Can we share a Disney+account?

A Disney+ account can contain 7 different profiles and broadcast on 4 different screens simultaneously.In theory, it would therefore be easy to share your account with other people in order to reduce subscription costs.A practice also encouraged by Netflix who does not hesitate to bet part of his communication on this point.

In the case of Disney+ on the other hand, it is specified in the conditions of use that "you agree not to assume the identity of another person or entity or not to give false indications on your affiliation to another personor entity, including using the username, password or other account information of another person ”.As for the sanction in the event of an offense, it seems obvious since Disney+ keeps the right to "suspend or terminate your account and your ability to use Disney services […] in the event of non-compliance with your part of these General Conditionsor all additional conditions ”.

Is there parental control?

If you want to make sure that your children only look at appropriate content, just create a new profile as a child.This profile will only have access to a special Disney+ portal which includes content adapted to the age of children.

Our opinion on Disney+

Clearly, it is certainly the most solid competitor to the hegemony of Netflix, whether for its price, its catalog or its features (you can even download content and continue to read them even after their deletion of the platform).

Disney nevertheless puts a lot for the moment on its catalog background.After starting with very family content, the platform was not based on its achievements and boosted its programs with very many original series, but also unpublished films.Series like The Mandalorian or Wandavision have done a lot for the popularity of a quality service, with a very wide spectrum, which now knows how to seduce young and old with a plethoric offer.And it's not about to stop, promised the famous mouse.

Between Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and others, there are now a number of streaming video platforms by subscription in France, but it is not easy to decide which ... Read more
