The line-up is pretty good, even compared to existing libraries in the US and Australia. Now we're stuck in the app, too, we can see that it keeps Disney to us with a feature explaining when content goes into service in the future. This is how we know Frozen 2 will be on Disney Plus UK on July 17, 2020, for example. We are not sure further what is on April 3rd in the US.

If you were hoping you'd watch every episode of the 'Star Wars' show on The Mandalorian at launch in the UK, the episodes have just begun'roll'.

Disney Plus App Links: How to Download Disney Plus

Below, we've added the app links we've found so far for the UK launch, and we'll add more as they become available.

Disney plus: price and subscription levels explained

Disney costs plus £59,99 for an annual subscription, or £5.99 per month. These two levels are available and you can cancel at any time. Unlike the US where it's bundled with ESPN and Hulu, in the UK Disney Plus is a separate service.

Either step gets you four parallel streams, unlimited downloads from up to 10 devices and the ability to create seven profiles.

In the US, you can gift a year to Disney Plus either digitally or as a physical card, but no such option has been announced in the UK.

Disney Plus supports 4K and HDR streams

Disney Plus does support 4K and HDR. When you are in the app, head over to the 'details' of a given movie or show and you will see a section that says 'available in the following formats', which can be explained if the content is in 4K Ultra HD and HDR.

Now you have all Star Wars to watch in 4K with HDR. Enjoy!

Disney Plus has been launched on almost every device you can name in the UK, including mobile devices, game consoles, streaming media devices and smart TVs. You can pick up Disney Plus shows on the go, too, by downloading as many movies and shows as you can fit on your device as long as you have an active subscription and an internet connection every 30 days.

Disney Plus: The Future of Shows and Movies

In the future, Disney plus becomes quite a big exclusive show. From the Marvel Cinematic Universe side of things, new exhibits include The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (August), WandaVision (November), Loki (2021), Hawkeye (2021) and the animated show What If?. Next, expect TV shows based on Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk. Unlike Netflix shows Marvel, too, it is canonical to be part of the microcontroller, as well as the characterization of the subjects, the transition between films and these series.

Not specified yet, but there is a second season of The Mandalorian coming in October 2020, then next it does a show starring Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan Kenobi and Diego Luna Endor Cassian from Rogue One.

It's likely that you can expect the latest Disney-related films like Pixar's next, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil to be there before the end of 2020. In the USA, England, arrives early April 3rd. Hopefully we'll see her in the UK before much longer.

Disney plus launched from the sky Q and now TV at a later date

Disney Plus made a deal with Sky to host Disney Plus on the Sky D platform at launch. This means you can watch Disney Plus as well as other heavenly content - it's easy to be added to SkyBill. According to Pocket Snack, full integration into the sky question platform won't come until April, but you can watch Disney Plus through the app on your sky-th window.

Disney Plus will be available on TV in the coming months too.
