Disney already has an enormous chunk of a catalog that consists of classic and current TV shows and movies. From Marvel feature films, the Star Wars franchise and stuff related to Pixar, everything will debut on the service once a theoretical release takes place.
Classic shows such as Hannah Montana, Everyone’s favorite Mickey Mouse and The Simpsons will keep your nostalgia bus going. With the purchase of Fox by Disney nature to will keep you company with 250+ hours of National Geographic content.
Netflix has spent billions of dollars to produce new and original content but their quality has gone down the drain since few years. Many of their original TV shows have discontinued just after one season.

Disney Plus will make its way first in the U.S. on November 12 and then expand to every other important market worldwide slowly.
