The Disney + streaming platform, which must compete with Netflix, will be launched November 12 in Canada and the Netherlands - at the same time as in the United States - and a week later in Australia and New Zealand.
Disney also announced it has reached a global deal with major distribution platforms (those operated by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony and Roku) to make Disney + available on mobile and connected TV, according to a statement from the global entertainment giant.
Amazon is not on the list.
The global entertainment giant relies heavily on Disney +, which must compete with the number one sector: Netflix.
Disney + will bring Disney's entire family offering from its movie and TV show library to all National Geographic content, including movies produced by Mickey Kingdom studios (Pixar, Disney, Marvel, the Star franchise). Wars), had explained the boss of Disney Bob Iger early August.
Disney not only relies on its countless blockbusters to attract the customer but also on a very attractive price at launch compared to Netflix.
In the United States, Disney + will be available for $ 6.99 per month and for respectively 8.99 Canadian dollars in Canada and 6.99 euros in the Netherlands.
In the United States, Netflix costs from $ 9 to $ 16 a month.
To make the offer more attractive in the United States, the group offers a bundle including Disney +, ESPN (sports channels) and Hulu for $ 12.99 per month in the United States.
