What's Leaving Disney+ in the US (January 2020) (Up: due to licensing deals)
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku
- Start date
ITT - People don't know how licensing with content works, and automatically assume it's some conspiracy on creating artificial scarcity (never mind that the idea of artificial scarcity is incompatible with the idea of digital streaming).
People need to lose their shit over this so that Disney gets scared of legitimately having some sort of wide ranging rotation
Yes, massive corporations always function in a logical and consumer friendly way.
Back when I worked at Carmike in my late teens and Flicka came out I really wanted to take the standee home. Not because I had any hype or appreciation for the movie itself but for the fact that with the font they used it really looked like the movie was called "Fucka".
I thought we settled that Disney vault wasn't a thing anymore earlier in the thread?
Oh man shit you to me totally nullifies the fact you shouldn't give mega corporations the benefit of a doubt.
???
The entire point of a corporation is to do things based entirely on profit potential. So yes, they do things in a "logical" manner insofar as money is concerned.
Also, why are you talking about consumer-friendly? Taking away films/shows isn't new. We see this in Netflix, and even in gaming stores (PSN, Xbox Live) as well due to the licensing deals of these content. That's the nature of digital streaming, and has nothing to do with giving any benefit of the doubt or "anti-consumer" nonsense.
There are way better issues that are actually anti-consumer than this.
I don't have it as it is not yet available in my country, but it does seem to be skewed towards movies and animation and has little in the way of drama. Doesn't Disney also own touchstone, new line, miramax, and abc? The list I saw seems to be missing much of those.
Touchstone was literally invented to be a brand for stuff Disney didn't want to put the Disney name on - that stuff will be on Hulu, not Disney+.
Can you give an example of Netflix removing a Netflix original? Because that would be the equivalent. Disney+ wasn't marketed as HBO but as an extensive catalogue.
My educated guess is that for certain titles, they wanted them back early and were able to make short term non exclusive licensing deal to get them on the service. Those rights have now reverted and here we are.
This still sucks though and they should've communicated this clearly with customers beforehand.

Yeah, I'm sure Fox had existing licensing deals (as does Disney to a lesser extent) that'll result in some things getting pulled from the service until those run out.
Or you know, just let people watch it in whatever season they feel like it...
No one is going to stop you from only watching it on a full moon between December 18 and December 23.
ITT people who logically assumed Disney's content would always be available, like Netflix's is...Especially when the content appears to be 20th Century Fox, which Disney owns. But if this is just the cases of existing contracts running their course, well I guess we'll see, but if this is Disney just vaulting certain content then they're rightfully be criticized
Yeah I'm on the it's tech issues(for the most part) if it was licensing(or shadiness) the pages would still be live with a "coming XX/XX/XXXX" statement. mighty med was supposed to be on at launch and disappeared and that's a fully owned Disney XD series that never got licensed to any streaming service(and they have its follow up show in there)
Seeing as yesterday was 1/1 and that these are still available in other regions, my bet is it's a previously made, pre-D+ deal for streaming rights on another platform.
A handful of movies shifting puts something in shambles? Lord the hyperbole on that is rich...

Glad it's coming so I can watch it again for the 100th time , this time on my new tv 😂
Also Aladdin and lion king is great cause I haven't seen them yet
Still waiting for Aladdin tv series though 😒
Agreed.
Also, is your avatar from Trader Sam's? I recognize that shifty eyed tiki...
No, having an anemic offering in the first place, a bad app that doesn't cast well and has no autoplay, needing to space out new series weekly and then removing films so you can add them later, all to try to keep the anemic offering enticing, puts it in shambles.
Not necessarily. Some of Netflix Original content are licensed productions (House of Cards, The Killing, etc).
Netflix call everything that they air in that specific territory first a "Netflix Original" nowadays, so it's happened dozens of times. The Good Place and Star Trek Discovery are marketed as Netflix Originals overseas. The Expanse was marketed as a NF Original and pulled when it went to Amazon.
But even then, things Netflix have marketed as actual Netflix originations like Lilyhammer have been removed from time to time, and lots of shows people assume are NF shows but which are made by other people (HoC, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the Marvel shows, OITNB etc etc) will probably drop off the service eventually even if it is a decade later.
Good eye ;)! Yes absolutely love the Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel.
Kungaloosh my dude. Very cool to find another Sam's/tiki person here.
