Bob Iger, CEO of Disney and aspiring owner of everything imaginable, confirmed that Disney’s long talked-about streaming service will be called Disney+, or Disney Plus, or what have you. Previously, , but it looks like the House of Mouse is taking a different naming convention from Google.

Expect to see newer Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel Studios films . Additionally, the acquisition of 21st Century Fox will give Disney a controlling stake in Hulu—Iger has promised that Disney+ and Hulu will still be able to coexist, with Hulu being a home for “general entertainment” and Disney+ for “family fare.”

So let’s try to summarize all of the “family fare” projects that we know of that are coming to Disney+. Take a deep breath, and:

  • Cassian Andor Rogue One prequel series
  • Television shows based on High School Musical, Monsters Inc., The Muppets, The Mighty Ducks
  • Untitled Marvel Television project, potentially several in development
  • Live-action remakes of Lady and the Tramp (currently filming), Peter Pan, The Sword in the Stone
  • Remakes of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Father of the Bride, The Parent Trap
  • Various original film projects, including Magic Camp, Noelle, Timmy Failure (all in post-production), Stargirl, Togo (both currently filming)
  • Flora & Ulysses film adaptation
  • A television remake of High Fidelity
  • Docuseries Ink & Paint

Honestly, just looking at that list is ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚexhausting. After writing , I have almost completely run out of things to say about them. As many have pointed out, all of these services are splitting the market, somehow turning streaming into a worse alternative to cable TV.

Disney+ is still due to launch in la🗹te 2019. Better start saving your money now, lest you incur the wrath of a cartoon mouse.
