On the Home Alone thing, I find it interesting they just featured that on "the movies that made us" Netflix series.

I watched both the original movie and the Netflix episode Christmas week. Both Home Alone and The Sandlot were being developed for new Disney+ projects as well. Hopefully they won't wait until those are made before they add these movies back.

I wouldnt say there's that much dirty stuff on Bobs Burgers. They do have some risque jokes (ie, Tina's obsession with men's butts), but nothing that hasnt been in family sitcoms in the past.

The sex toys episode springs immediately to mind.

American Girl movies aren't owned by Disney so not going to happen.

I wonder why Disney+ removed Mickey, Donald, and Goofy the three musketeers in the first place when they were not mentioned in any article website?

People talk about The Simpsons and whether or not it should be on Disney+. I'm not a fan of the idea myself, but I will say that it's "family-friendly"...except when it's not. That's just the kind of show it is; always has been.

Question for you guys who has had the service since day 1. Was Disney's Zorro series ever on there? I don't see it. The Sign of Zorro film is there, but not the rest of the series. I wonder if someone else has exclusive rights.

I don't see Zorro series when I used Disney on launch day.

People have to understand that NBCUniversal maintains an equity stake in Hulu for the time being, so any removal of content from there isn't likely until Disney buys them out.

They just put it back on within this last week.

The series was never on, while the movie always was. The only series I remember being in from that era were Mickey Mouse Club and Spin and Marty. Zorro was the one I first checked for since it was the one I was familiar with.

That’s weird, they removed it like a few weeks ago and now they put them back?

I’m really confused about the video quality of the download content one. Standard is 360/480p, medium is 720p, and high is 1080p, right?

You seems right on this.

Standard = probably DVD quality 480p
Medium - 720p
High - 1080p

There aren't much difference between SD and HD for phone and tablet but 720p help to make picture crisper, that all.

I guess high quality (1080p) content download might be slower because they have the largest filesize (4-8/12gb), while standard have the smallest filesize (50mb-1gb), I think medium carry standard filesize (2-3gb)

Ha! They likely killed off physical DVD disc because of this.

1080p movies usually up to 8 GB, depending on length of movie so 2 hours movie is around 5 GB.

Apparently some of the stuff taken off of Disney+ was due to a contract deals with FuboTV among others.
I can understand why Disney allows these deals in place, with so much content, people might not notice if one or two movies are gone. Additionally, both Disney and Fox has these deals set up years in advance, many before Disney+ was in development. Lastly, these companies pay Disney and Fox millions for the rights to movies and shows. Disney has to carefully pick and choose what deal is worth buying out of the contract, and what they should keep in place.

Agents of SHIELD seems to be gone too. Since it was one of Disney +'s most downloaded shows that seems like an oversight.
