Want to catch a glimpse of everything coming to Disney+? Have about three-and-a-half hours to spare? Well then, good news: Disney has just released a 3-hour, 17-minute “trailer” offering 15-second long previews of all of the600-plus titleshitting Disney+ in the U.S. on launch day.
The promotional video contains mini-trailers for many of the most high-profile launches on Disney+, includingThe Mandalorianand the rest of the Star Wars franchise (aside fromThe Last JediandSolo: A Star Wars Story, which will arrive on the service later). Other highlights include ’90s favorites likeGargoylesandX-Men: The Animated Series, animated movies likeMoana, Disney Channel original series includingHannah MontanaandEven Stevens, vintage Hollywood classics, and more.
More intriguing, however, are the small peeks at Disney+’s obscure, nearly forgotten, and just plain bizarre offerings. In the video, you’ll catch glimpses ofThe Million Dollar Duck, which is about a duck that lays golden eggs after becoming irradiated in a lab accident, andGus, a movie about a mule that leads his football team to the Super Bowl (he’s the team’s placekicker, naturally).
If that’s not enough Disney for you, Reviews.org is also paying $1,000 to people who are willing to binge-watch 30 Disney movies and TV shows on Disney+. You canapply for that gig here.
Eventually, Disney+ will be the exclusive digital home for thecomplete Disney catalog(excluding the long-buried animated featureSong of the South), as well as significant portions of the Marvel, Fox, Lucasfilm, and National Geographic libraries. Disney+ isn’t all legacy content, either. Disney is developingnumerous original seriesfor the service, including multiplelive-action Star Wars shows, a number ofMarvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins, and a Muppets revival.
With its strong lineup and 4K-friendly streaming, Disney+ is poised to be a major player in the quickly escalating streaming wars. Soon, Disney competitors likeApple,NBCUniversal, andWarnerMediawill launch their own, brand-specific streaming services in attempts to take on the likes of Netflix,Hulu, andAmazon Prime.
