> Disney already owns ...

And yet paradoxically there's still very little to watch on Disney+, because only a fraction of their huge catalog is actually accessible and what _is_ available, it's just the same old material, watched and re-watched a million times already.

At least that's how it is here, in Europe, not sure about the US. I ended up dropping Disney+ subscription in exactly 1 month because there was nothing interesting left to watch. It was a rather strange experience TBH.



The service only launched this time last year, and I get the impression they are still processing the backlog as well as waiting for previous licenses to expire.


and whatever is there, their need to be child-friendly tends to block or worse, make them edit movies. There was a scene in the 1984 Splash where a naked butt is seen, the re-edited scene went fairly viral where they tired to extend the long hair of the female so it covered her butt. (Horribly done btw)


that scene was a highlight of my childhood (I was 11 at the time) and tbh I wouldn't really want my kids to see a censored version of it.
