...yeah. I just looked it up on Google, and after reading the description on Melissa's website, 29 Dates doesn't sound like a Disney kind of a production. This sounds more like something that would air on ABC in prime time. Just saying.

This is what I want out of diversity. I don't like it when companies hijack something and put a new face. It's disrespectful to the original creators, unless there's a reason and rationale behind it. Everyone should know "The Shawshank Redemption" film controversy, which wasn't really controversial at all.

Diversity begins just like this, the creators first. Then those adapting the material.

I’m still surprised we haven’t heard of more cartoons getting made for the service. Just that Monsters Inc Cartoon.

I'm wondering how Disney's going to handle separating the family friendly content from the more mature stuff on this service. Disney's taking a big risk if they're going to just let everything run under the Disney name. Maybe they might split the service into three specially branded segments for different audiences.

The same way Netflix does it.

 

[TheMisterManGuy]

The same way Netflix does it.

Disney isn't Netflix though. The Disney Brand is heavily associated with Family entertainment, or at least entertainment that won't upset parents or young kids. Disney has historically gone to great lengths to mask their name behind alternative labels and divisions for more mature content, see TouchStone, Miramax, ABC, FreeForm, you could even argue Marvel to an extent. It just seems weird that they're just going to essentially let everything run through kid-friendly or not, under the Disney name with this service.

If Disney still wants to protect its name, they're going to have to get creative with how they brand different sections of the service.

 

[Red Arrow]

If they have a "Marvel corner", a "Star Wars corner" and a "National Geographic corner", people will think of Marvel, Star Wars and and National Geographic, not Walt Disney Studios. You are really overthinking this. Disney has already had violent movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and Deadpool and nobody cared.

When Disney Channel launched here in 2009, the mainstream found it rather weird to see all those sitcoms. The change didn't happen gradually, no, BAM, in one day we had all of these new sitcoms! Hannah Montana and J.O.N.A.S. (etc.) felt very un-Disney. Many people here grew up with the classic Walt Disney shorts. But it didn't take long to get used to sitcoms being a part of Disney. I think most people also already consider Marvel to be a part of Disney.

People are more flexible than you think. The mainstream is not like an 80s fanbase.

On Netflix, there is a specific "Kids" account for users with a child-friendly look that hosts the child-friendly content. Disney can do the same thing.

Sure, but the more adult sections of the service might need to go under different names if Disney still wants its main brand to maintain its family image.

It will probably be two sections MARVEL+ & STAR WARS+ as for FOX films most all of them will be on Hulu except the PG & G ones like Anastasia,Fat Albert,Garlfield 1& 2. & Blue Sky's whole library
