A lot of people I know are annoyed by this but...like, all I can do is shrug? It's not really bothering me that it's not on there when there's other stuff I'm more interested in at the moment. Also, I don't think people really know how rights work at times. Hell, I don't think some of these companies do with how much work Marvel's had to do it get the rights back it sold to prevent bankruptcy. |

Hell, I don't think some of these companies do with how much work Marvel's had to do it get the rights back it sold to prevent bankruptcy. In general, people don't, or at least have a very limited understanding. I think pretty much everybody understands that broadcast companies have to pay for the rights to content, but many seem to think that the content owners can pull the rights at any time with no consequence. It is possible to end a rights agreement before the agreed expiry, of course, but that generally involves a ton of negotiations and compensation packages for the broadcaster. Given how much Sky are likely paying for Simpsons rights, there's absolutely no doubt that Disney would stand to lose more money prematurely ending the deal in time for the U.K. D+ launch than they would from any possible lost subscriptions if The Simpsons isn't on the service at launch. |

Yeah, I'm not expecting a wide understanding but if Sky signs a deal for The Simpsons, a show they've had pretty much since Sky One's inception, for a certain amount of time, there better be a good reason for them to break away from that agreement. Like, this and the fact HBO Max isn't probably going to get to Europe until around 2022 for the exact same reasons (broadcasting rights, basically) shows that, well, if we're expecting this media colonisation to happen quickly...it's not going to. |

I'm not even sure The Simpsons will hit D+ over here for many years to come. The show still pulls big audience numbers, which means Disney can probably make more money from Sky having the rights than putting it on D+, at least for as long as Sky are willing to pay a premium. |

And with Sky looking to keep Disney involved with their service as much as possible, D+ or not, this looks to be more and more likely. |

The "Love, Simon" series has been moved to Hulu for being "Too Adult". This is also a reason for the issues surrounding the Lizzie reboot.

Looks like a deal was made with Sky Huh. Probably a way for Sky to still get some access to Disney content in the long term after the launch of Disney+. |

Does Disney still own the rights to the first 4 Ernest movies? Wouldnt mind seeing them pop up on this service.

Don’t know if it’s worldwide, certain markets or just the U.S. Only in the U.S. but we're only getting it in regular ol' HD. Rest of the world will get it the following Tuesday. That's also when the 4K stream will be released worldwide. |

Like, they can afford to do something like that but considering the kids at home during this time everywhere? Pretty good forward thinking, there. |

Makes me wonder if Rise of Skywalker will be on there shortly after the Blu-ray releases. They already released it early on digital so I'm wondering if they're thinking this far ahead. But seriously, good on them. They knew the situation and decided to help. And yeah, this is going to boost subscription numbers now. |

Disney+ put up Frozen II even earlier than expected here. They decided to drop it Saturday night.
