So it seems like movies like Dumbo with racist caricatures just get a sort of warning under the film's 'Detail' tab, but the content wasn't cut out. They put a warning about tobacco use first, so it makes it seem like racism just might not be to some people's taste instead of actually saying it is wrong.
They should just use this, word for word and play it IN the film:

It was quite amusing while it lasted, content appearing and disappearing, some items showing but not being available, and for whatever reason - tiles updating. Then it locked up and I had to close out and now can't get back in.
Ah... launch day and streaming services.
Times like this validate my physical purchases of media (and that I have a 110" screen and streaming sucks).
I'm sure it will get sorted out.

Sorry if this has already been asked a hundred times.
Is there a way to gift my parents a year of service (mom's birthday is in a week) or do I have to wait for gift cards or something similar to become available?

Eh, I don't agree with removing Stark Raving Dad from everything, regardless on where you stand on MJ, that episode is a part of the show's history and you can't erase it.
One thing I noticed streaming Moana in 4K HDR, is how much better watching the movies looks in 1080P BluRay. I know Apple TV 4K is known for how good it's streams look, but nothing beats local playback. I am, however, really looking forward to watching Star Wars in Dolby Vision later.
I'm not sure it is even worth making assumptions about bitrate or quality while the server is straining to cope with demand.
Just downloaded the app and subscribed from Canada, the app won't load anything, server seems to be down or hammered to oblivion over here.
So they are the crap 16:9 DNR "HD" versionsHere's a Simpsons example...
That's almost 25% of the image.
I think LG and Samsung were the only two confirmed brands for launch when it came to TVs.
In the age of huge cloud providers and automatic scaling, I actually don't understand why this launch has to have technical problems. Netflix has 100+ million subscribers, surely they're getting more traffic than Disney+, even on its launch day, and they don't have any issues.
At least, if anything is to blame for these issues it's more reasonable it would be the custom implementation of the service itself.

If you expected a major service launch like Disney+ to be 100% smooth then I don't know what to tell you. No amount of infrastructure testing can prepare you for the initial rush of new users on a service of that scale. Yes, even for a corporation as massive as Disney.
This is a miserable mess. Haven't been able to play anything on any device, now it out of the blue tells me my password is suddenly wrong. Won't send the email with the code to reset it. Just going to give up for a few days.
Not sure that is a fair comparison, because I'm guessing Netflix didn't go from zero to millions of subs in a matter of hours.
My advice is wait until Black Friday when you can buy 100 dollar gift cards for 80. But if you cant wait, you can literally buy them everywhere. Amazon, Target, Wal-mart, PayPal Digital Gifts, best buy. They all deliver electronically.
or rarely watches movies/tv but still wants good quality when they do
You knew these types of complaints were coming anyway. They even launched at a non peak time instead of this afternoon or evening. Things will settle down at worst in a couple of days.
Services always forget their gaming console apps. It's why we got a Roku hooked up to our TV even though though we have an Xbox as well.
I watched Mando on my Pro this morning and it was fine except subtitles were at the top of the screen and almost completely cut off when I tested them out.
so i read that the verizon free year does stack if we had already signed up for the 3yr deal but it seemed like verizon wanted you to create a new account?
When I try logging into Disney+ I get an error saying "Sorry something went wrong. Please try again later" with Mickey Mouse and his dog, Pluto, in space outfits.
Strange to see so many having issues, since my app on ios has been flawless all day. I'm sure they'll sort it. This must be the fastest and largest sign up for a streaming service ever.
That's not how it works, Netflix has 100+ million subs but they've been operating for over a decade, they have very accurate usage stats and can match their resources accordingly, which is the complete opposite for a new service that is seeing a surge in usage from literally nothing.
Cloud is a lot harder than it seems.
