HBO Max, or any others. Those competing TV and movie providers do a fine job and may have larger numbers of subscribers, but Disney is backed by a library of several decades of well-loved entertainment. To many, it represents Mickey Mouse, Snow White, The Lion King, and Frozen, but it is so much more.
Disney began making films in 1923, bringing a giant cast of Pixar movies are now part of the Disney library. Then, in 2009, Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment, bringing with it the rights to Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man, Black Panther, and all of Marvel's other superhero characters and stories, including the comics, movies, and TV shows. And, in 2012, it bought Lucasfilm and with it Star Wars, adding a huge franchise to an already unbeatable lineup.
Clearly, Disney has a vast amount of existing content to keep subscribers occupied for quite some time. Many of the titles in its Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel series and films are certain to deliver satisfaction. Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian is among the hottest series of 2020 and season two just wrapped up in December. The wildly popular show will return in 2021, with many more exciting series and movies ing it.
Why Disney+ Wins 2021
Disney+ is relatively new, having launched in November of 2019, but already has over 80 million subscribers, far suring HBO Max and narrowing the distance to Netflix quickly. This was done in just over a year. Few doubted that Star Wars universe, seven series from Marvel, as well as new shows based on Turner & Hooch, Monsters Inc, a fourth Night At The Museum film, and much more.
With the momentum of the success of 2020, Disney is more committed than ever to continue growing its streaming service. It will become available in more countries in 2021. New feature films are planned to have a simultaneous launch at theaters and on Disney+, at an extra cost for Premiere Access or later as part of the regular service. This transition to online service will likely continue with more and more movie studios, not simply as a solution for the pandemic, but rather as a standard option. Adding the rapidly improving home theater and personal entertainment potential that HDR TVs and challenge Netflix, HBO Max, and others on their own turf.
