Disneyflix

I don't see how Disneyflix is trivia or that the quote to support who the president of the service (though I would be original having problems with adding him before Disneyflix, but found that I already had a ref., but forgot to change the quote) disqualifies the addition of this sourced AKA. All article allow alternative names like trade names (DBAs), legal names, standard abbreviations, etc. Or you would have a hell of problem with Soda drink, regions have different usages mainly soda, pop and cola. Should we not list known abbreviation for networks and cable channel just because they probably started with TV guides?

• ABC, Inc.[4] DBA the Disney–ABC Television Group[1] (stylized as Disney|abc Television Group, simply Disney–ABC[5]), formerly known as Capital Cities/ABC Inc. and ABC Group,[2] - I do see recently that DATG are dropping "Group" at times. Spshu (talk) 22:00, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Another media outlet, TV Business Intertnational, called it Disneyflix. "TBI Weekly: Disneyflix takes shape" Spshu (talk) 18:14, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Disney Play

Since, I have to ask permission to say that Hollywood calls it Disneyflix, I guess I have to ask to say that Disney Chair Iger has reportedly called it "Disney Play". "... will now be key selling points for the new service Iger has referred to as “Disney Play.” Spshu (talk) 18:14, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

• Variety has now edited their article, which took Iger's comment during Disney's quarterly earnings call out of context. See actual comments by Iger at this transcript of the call. "We don't really want to go to market with an aggregation play that replicates the multichannel environment that exists today because we feel consumers are more interested in essentially making decisions on their own in terms of what kind of packages that they want. So rather than one, call it, gigantic aggregated play, we're going to bring to market – well, we've already brought to market, sports play -- I'll call it, Disney play, which is more family-oriented, and then,of course, there's Hulu. And they will basically be designed to attract different tastes and different segment or audience demographics. If a consumer wants all three, ultimately, we see an opportunity to package them from a pricing perspective. But it could be that a consumer just wants sports or just wants family or just wants the Hulu offering, and we want to be able to offer that kind of flexibility to consumers because that's how we feel the consumer behavior, what consumer behavior demands in today's environment." Timpcrk87 (talk) 00:19, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, @Timpcrk87:. I accurately indicate vis via the Disneyflix reference above that it was just off the cuff naming (for easier reference) and not the official name. And I have seen articles else where (Tech Crunch) that confirm what I suspected and you state above. Spshu (talk) 22:02, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Movies & Television

Hello people, I am Mystic Moore and I have noticed an error and something that needs to be changed. Firstly, they have not yet confirmed that Scarlet Witch and Loki will be getting their own shows here. Instead they have said that they are planning to and characters such as Scarlet Witch and Loki will be likely to get the solo show treatment. Secondly, you have the films and shows there but you're only including the original content. At this time, I would include all the films and shows while labeling the original content 'original' and then once we get to a time where the amount of content is too overwhelming for this page, make a new one called 'List of Disney Streaming Service Content.' Mystic Moore 13:20, 25 September 2018.

Not errors. Both Marvel characters have shows "in development" that isn't confirmation that they will get their own show, that would be some other status (ordered, filming, etc.). Original content is the most important content for a TV service (streaming, cable, broadcast network), so listing all content is an (WP:IINFO) indiscriminate list. With all the digital broadcast networks general using no original show or movies (at least to start out with), you list only the key shows and if they made any package deals. Only change needed would be to delineate and source what Disney libraries will be on this service (Marvel, Disney, Lucasfilms; with wikilinks to their lists - no need to duplicate them) as the ABC and Fox libraries will be on Hulu. Spshu (talk) 13:10, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Disney Streaming Services and other naming issues

Disney Streaming Services LLC is the name of the stream service company so should be in the infobox name field and mention in the first line. + is the "stylize" version (symbolization) of the word plus, which the domain name (disneyplus.com) will have not the symbol(+). So, do not remove Disney Streaming Services. Spshu (talk) 00:49, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Disagreed. Corporate trivia, common name. The fact that you assert "Disney Streaming Services, LLC" must be the primary name because "Disney+" is a "trade name" of it, runs afoul of practices on similar articles. Is there is a specific subsidiary of Amazon, Inc. that runs Prime Video? We need to stop thinking of this as a company, but as a product. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

You don't seem to understand. I did not say that Disney Streaming Services, LLC was the "primary name" or even common name. Just that is the company name and that Disney Plus is the trade (DBA) name with Disney+ as a stylization/branding. No, it is a company offering a singular service (which isn't even functioning yet) offering multiple products, the show and movies. It is a company and the service it provides, so no we don't" stop thinking of this as a company, but as a product". IF there were a specific separate company running Prime Video then we would list it.

• Iconology Inc.,[1] d/b/a ComiXology (styled comiXology) a subsidiary of Amazon.com
• A&E Networks (branded as A+E Networks) ibox name= A&E Television Networks, LLC
• ABC, Inc.[4] DBA the Disney–ABC Television Group[1] (stylized as Disney|abc Television Group, simply Disney–ABC[5])
• "Hulu (stylized as hulu /ˈhuːluː/) is an American entertainment company that provides over-the-top media services[8] owned by Hulu LLC, a joint venture with..."

So, the practice listing of the company name is standard, thus you are running afoul of standard practices. Spshu (talk) 17:01, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Okay, so I presume your assertion that the first bolded title must be Disney Streaming Services, LLC is based on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies), right? Does ESPN+ have a similar operational subsidiary that we must declare as the first name per WP:NCCORP too? ViperSnake151  Talk  18:26, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)#First sentence to be exact. I am not aware that ESPN+ has a similar operational subsidiary, as far as I know, it is a service of BAMTech as is providing the tech to HBO, MLB, etc. So, no ESPN+ would no have any company name to declare per WP:NCCORP. Spshu (talk) 19:47, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

And per MOS:TMRULES "Avoid using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, or simply substitute for English words or letters" plus MOS:TMSTYLE makes Disney+ , a stylization (but usable, given its wide use at this time) and Disney Plus, non-styled trade name.Spshu (talk) 19:55, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

However, ESPN Plus was rejected on Talk:ESPN+ per the agreement that "[a] significant majority of reliable sources that are independent of the subject consistently include the special character in the subject's name" (plus ESPN Plus can also refer to the former operations of ESPN Events so it kinda still disambiguates) ViperSnake151  Talk  20:37, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

It is a stylization, ESPN+. Why on are you ripping out this information and the consolidation of sources? This is basic information? You even see it at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)#First sentence. You were reverted and the guideline have been explained to you and you indicate you understand that then still remove the information? If you don't think it is a company then why remove infobox:company with website module for Infobox dot-com company? Why do you think that their is a need to to have two separate instances of

←WP:OFFICIALNAME =/= WP:COMMONNAME, I never said that they are the same, ViperSnake151, you keep on assuming that I do. I am saying that Disney+ has many names as the whole question and existence of COMMONNAME implies and that it is usually helpful to list them. (Until my overhauling of DisneyToon Studios, there was the assumption that Disney Animation Australia , as it was also called DisneyToon Studios Australia, was DisneyToon Studios core and I was also able to connect it to Disney MovieToons.)

3rd Opinion

I'm responding to a request for a third opinion. I just want to make sure I understand the disagreement correctly before giving my opinion: The question is over whether the first sentence should read Disney+ is... or Disney Streaming Services LLC D.B.A. Disney Plus, stylized as Disney+ is.... Is that correct? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:14, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes for me. Given ViperSnake151 awareness that I was correct then reverts the correction and makes an edit summary indicating that he wants to argue something else. Spshu (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

I think Disney+ is the appropriate thing to place up front. Spshu only started treating it specifically as a company once he discovered that an operational subsidiary was established. No other reliable secondary sources have specifically referred to it as the owner. If they do say it is owned by something, they point towards Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International, which is a more prominent entity in Disney's corporate structure. ViperSnake151  Talk  22:44, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

In addition, the argument spills into the infobox used, I select infobox company with infobox website as a module while ViperSnake wants to use dot-com company infobox. Of course, they are not going to name the company as the owner to itself! You do not name yourself as parent to yourself. Since the company is the service, implied in the name Disney Streaming Services, LLC, since it provides no other services. And no, they all don't point to Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International as owner, but BAMTech Media.

The Disney-owned technology provider has named Kevin Swint senior vp and general manager for the forthcoming streaming service, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed." "He will report to BAMTech CEO Michael Paull in his new role, which Swint started earlier this month.

Disney’s BAMTech Media has hired former Apple and Samsung executive Kevin Swint as SVP and GM, Disney SVOD Service, to build, and ultimately run, the company’s upcoming Netflix competitor, Variety has learned.

Spshu (talk) 15:33, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Apparently, BAMTech Media was renamed Disney Stream Services ("... reports to Michael Paull, president of Disney Streaming Services (formerly referred to as BAMTech Media)."), so I suggest the ibox be website or dot-com company (as the service does have staff thus could be considered a "division", but service would be a way to refer to them and simplify the opening sentence) and the first sentence be DisneyPlus, stylized as Disney+, is a streaming service of Disney Streaming Services... because the url is disneyplus.com not disney+.com. Owner should thus be BAMTech/Disney Streaming Services. Alternatively Disney+, a stylization of DisneyPlus, is a streaming service owned by Disney Streaming Services... Spshu (talk) 16:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Zero Day Fox

Before Disney bought Fox, Fox formed Zero Day Fox for producing shows and films for Streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. What are the odds Zero Day Fox will produce content for Disney+? --LegerPrime (talk) 20:36, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Not likely, but who knows. With direct to video (DTV) being replaced by streaming, it should have made sense for DisneyToon Studios, their theatrical/DTV animation unit, to be assigned to Disney DtC streaming (especially Disney+) in some fashion instead it is closed down. It looked like the 20CFox three lesser unit chiefs, Fox 2000 and two at Fox Spotlight, were kept to see who might be interest in taking all or part of their unit over as head of a new redesigned streaming film unit (perhaps overseeing or merged with Zero Day Fox). Instead, Fox 2000 head is told after merger that after all its produced and in production films are release that Fox 2000 would be closed. Spshu (talk) 21:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Disney's decision regarding Song of the South is already mentioned in a note in the Content section. This is no different than Disney not releasing it on home video; a company restricting distribution of something it owns isn't censorship. Trivialist (talk) 01:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Disney+ is Not Under BAMTech

I'm bringing this to talk because some people seem confused about the structure. BAMTech is just the technology used to develop Disney+. It's not the parent unit. Paull and Kevin Swint's team are in charge of the technology used to build and run the app/service. But are not in charge of the Disney+ as a business unit. That would be under Strauss who reports directly to Kevin Meyer at WDDTCI. It is common to have an SVP report to another division depending on their specific type of work. A good recent example is how Hulu's SVP of original content now reports to Walden at Walt Disney Television; and one of Blue Sky's co-presidents reporting to Pixar president. That doesn't make Hulu a unit of Walt Disney Television; or Blue Sky a unit of Pixar Animation. Matrix management doesn't translate to multiple owners/parents. The true parent/owner is usually the highest hierarchy or depending on cost/revenue roll-up. Starforce¹³ 15:02, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

One more example: HBO Max (owned by WarnerMedia Entertainment), 'Andy Forssell is the service's executive vice president and general manager while still reporting to Otter Media CEO Tony Goncalves, who leads development.' This does not mean that the service is owned by Otter Media. Do not confuse the manager or developer with the owner. WhiteAngel (talk) 15:33, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

BAMTech is not just the tech used. Swint was name as general manager that is the usual operational head of the unit (but not always the top boss). The Hulu example would negate Strauss being in charge of Disney+ as Strauss is only president of content and marketing not president of Disney+. We were not sure where or not the Pixar president got another title (possible a Fox Animation title) for that supervision of the Blue Sky co-president. The president of Marvel Studios now answers to Walt Disney Studio chair and Marvel Studios is considered a Disney Studio subsidiary now not a Marvel Entertainment subsidiary (as they may not have officially made Marvel Studios a Disney Studios subsidiary as we are not even sure what form Disney Studios is is a it a DBA of Disney Enterprise - the Disney Company before merger with CC/ABC or a DBA of TWDC 18 Corporation or a DBA of the The Walt Disney Company-- as it could have been effected by control - Disney Studios brass being named to the board of managers for Marvel Studio, LLC or Marvel Studio president being named a VP of Disney Studios). The Fox Family president reports to 21CFox vice chair and Disney Studios chair and is still considered a 21CFox unit. Spshu (talk) 20:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

This seems like speculation/guessing. Surely someone can find a reference that specifically says "Disney+ is under BAMTech"? Trivialist (talk) 21:08, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Netherlands Release

Shouldn't the service just be considered to have launched on September 12th in the Netherlands, not November 12th? Sure, it was a "soft launch" of the service in general, but as far as I can tell, the launch was available to the general public in the Netherlands. For pretty much all intents and purposes other than having the original content, it effectively was the official launch for the Netherlands. 75.88.81.134 (talk) 02:07, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Clarification needed on Simpsons aspect ratio issue

"In late May 2020, the service added the ability to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for early Simpsons episodes,[99] after the service received backlash for stretching those episodes to 16:9 by default at launch"

This is ambiguous as to whether the episodes were stretched into 16:9 (which would retain the entire picture and allow viewers to see the episodes in their original form by readjusting their TVs' aspect ratio settings), or cropped and scanned (which would permanently remove part of the original picture). From what I've read elsewhere the latter would appear to be the case, but this needs clarifying. Lee M (talk) 03:31, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

OSN Release Partner Not Accurate

Please add your source for claiming that OSN is a release partner to Disney+ in the Middle East. There is no source so far this. To this date, it looks like Disney+ has no release partner in the Middle East. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oddlynormal (talk • contribs) 10:28, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

There is a source provided but the article states, about a paragraph later, that the deal is no longer active as Disney+ content was removed from OSN, also with a source. As of now, the latest sources claim Disney+ will simply launch officially in the Middle East. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 11:24, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your valuable input. OSN has been added in a recent edit as a release partner to a number of Middle Eastern countries in the launch table, with no sources provided. There hasn't been any news regarding this. The licensing agreement between them is no longer valid. OSN's CEO in the following source clearly stated the following "Disney Plus is coming into the marketplace as its own proposition". With this, OSN should be removed from the launch table as a release partner. Thank you.

Note: I am not able to edit this page.

Multi-year deal with Sony Pictures

Since some sources mention that Hotel Transylvania in the Disney plus deal, they forgot to add it in there in the Sony Pictures deal section when it already says Spider-Man, Jumanji are gonna be there on Disney+ 2605:B100:50F:2B95:DB0:27E5:944C:B8BD (talk) 15:22, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Early 2023 launch for Vietnam

This is false. There are no signs of an impending launch. The source linked is from 2021 (!) and says that PH and VN are expected in 2022. It's 2023 now. I move that this source is deleted and any mention of Vietnam. With the current layoffs and shift to profit over subscribers, the remaining Asian and African countries are likely much lower on Disney+'s priority list. I feel bad for the folks in those markets, but I don't see many of them launching in 2023, if any.

Until a NEW, reliable source comes with news on the RUMORED Vietnam (and Bangladesh) Hotstar launches, I say stop listing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.135.55.191 (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Please remove the release date for Disney+ in Vietnam. Reference [237] does not contain any information on the expected release date for Disney+ in Vietnam, leaving the reference and (expected) release date would be misleading to anyone looking for information (while Disney never made any statement on releasing Disney+ service in Vietnam).

Reference [238] has no mention of Disney+ releasing in Vietnam via Hotstar, please also remove it, unless a different source can be added to verify that information. Ppkhoa (talk) 14:31, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

 Note: Everything I found online were mostly rumors about the possible release, I couldn't find any official announcement. I'll leave this for other editors to review, but unless reliable sources come up, the information should be removed. NotAGenious (talk) 16:39, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Please remove Vietnam from Launch list as there’s no confirmed source available for Disney+ in Vietnam. Reference [242] and [243] does not contain any information on the expected release date for Disney+ in Vietnam. Unless a verified source with direct mention of Disney+ in Vietnam is available, it should not be in the list. Ppkhoa (talk) 21:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

 Done Removed as WP:FAIL. Added a comment to the top and bottom of the table to try and curb usage of the Omdia source and focus on a source providing a particular release date. —Sirdog (talk) 04:43, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't want to alarm any Disney fans, but I think Disney+ is gonna get shut down next month.

Same source says it will merge with hulu.$chnauzer 03:38, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Use proper capitalization with names like Hulu, please. But still, you'll add the said same source, right? 76.69.150.150 (talk) 11:23, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. This website doesn't strike me as a reliable source; their About page has no evidence of editorial oversight. Also, the extraordinary claim that a major streaming service will be shutting down requires extraordinary sources. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
