With endless content in the provider, more than 500 movies are inputted into the site, which includes many classics such as Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and more and many of modern movies as well. This site also have included a multitude of many Disney’s original series, going all the way back from the early 2000s, like That’s So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana, and more. Plus, they have also implemented their own new series, such as the Mandalorian (which is connected with Star Wars). 

Since Disney Plus also have content from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographics, this attracts many different demographics and they are able to watch whatever they please. 

Now that Disney Plus is in the scene, major competition stirs within the streaming world, which includes Amazon Prime Videos, HBO GO, and on top: Netflix. With Netflix making new deals such as making a collaboration with Nickelodeon to produce various of their shows, Disney and Nickelodeon once again butt heads as to who should take the top spot.

As many students are satisfied with the nostalgic feeling from both Disney and Nickelodeon, they share their response to matter of the rivalry between Disney Plus and Netflix. 

“I think that Netflix has a lot more going for them than Disney. It may draw away a few people to watch a few Disney movies, you know on Netflix, but in the long run, I don’t think that Netflix should have much to worry about regarding Disney Plus. ”- Damon Fletcher

Others say otherwise,

“I think I feel bad for Netflix because I just feel that Disney owns a lot, it’s a huge conglomerate, so they have a lot more to offer right now I think than Netflix does.” – Ivanelis Fletcher

And some are in the middle

“Either people have Netflix or Disney Plus now. They are like watching monopolies like Disney get ESPN, Netflix gets a deal with Nickelodeon. Like it’s just crazy how they are just taking over on what people watch on regular TV anymore.”- Matthew Van Ihsem

With this new craze, Disney Plus is releasing more content and more students are subscribing.
