DISNEY+ LAUNCH
November 12, 2019  | By David Bianculli

Disney+, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
STREAMING NETWORK LAUNCH: This changes things. Big time, and immediately. Changes in TV history tend to arrive incrementally, but Disney+ arrives today, hitting the TV landscape like a giant asteroid. It’s less a day-one dip into the waters than an all-out naval assault. The original series premiering today on Disney+ are impressive, and many will be detailed in separate listings below. But the backlog, the existing offerings available to stream immediately for $7 a month (or $70 if you prepay for a year), include such animated Disney classics as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi. Other movies, like Mary Poppins and The Incredible Journey, are here too, as are most of the Star Wars films, and various Muppet movies, and Toy Story and other Pixar films, and many of the Marvel movies, and all episodes of The Simpsons. For my review of the new programs on Disney+, and to sample them, listen to my review today on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Or to see me talk about Disney+ more spontaneously, take another look at yesterday’s edition of TVWW’s Best TV Tomorrow. In both places, it’s the TV event of the day.
