Curiosities:

- The service launched in UK, Germany, Italy, Spain more or less at the same time, around 2:00 CET (especially the apps), although prior to that, the service was available to many, including me, in the browser version, as the Dutch version, where many language tracks were already available
- Lizzie McGuire, strangely enough is only available as subtitled in many languages, only available with American Spanish audio in addition to English
- SImpsons in the Italian version is up to the 30th season
- Some classic shows, sadly are lacking: especially Goof Troops.. also, I wanted to watch again So Weird
- Some recent movies will be made available in April, especially Lion King (2019)
- Much content (@Red Arrow , @RandomMe) is already available in Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and even FInnish (although most live action is subtitled) and of course Frenc, gearing up for the Portuguese and Nordic launches soon. Nothing in Russian, some in Polish

If you want to know more details, please don't hesitate to ask

Is The Simpsons cropped, or is it in the original aspect ratio?

Cropped, sadly

To something like 14:9

Just in case, the Simpsons is rated 6+ in U.K.

Also miraculous is now available to stream in U.K. as well as any other European countries.

It isn’t a Disney original, but it has aired on Disney Channel in several countries. It even has been airing in the US since April 2019.

The Walt Disney Company France has sign the agreement with Method animation and ZagToon to distributed the show internationally. Mainly through Disney Channel.

Disney has a small hand in producing the show, mainly as a financier. They also have first look rights to the series in various countries.

Why is Disney+ not releasing in Venezuela at all....?

 

[Red Arrow]

6+ is the Dutch rating for The Simpsons. Maybe all ratings on Disney+ UK are Dutch?

Well. I can't say I'm not a little irked about Bob Iger's lack of interest towards the Muppets.

In any case, Iger's left the CEO position to someone else. Hopefully, Bob Chapek likes them better.

Happy birthday!

Ugh, another story of a new head honcho not wanting anything to do with what the previous honcho wanted, even to the detriment of others (or in this case, an IP).

Maybe, since the service launched there first in Europe

But probably now they're just being used as "basic European ratings", simple to be understood by pretty much anyone

Also: Smart Guy has been removed already from the European service, for some strange reasons..

I'm just happy Disney left the series (Stark Raving Dad omission noted though) intact. I get it's not a family friendly fit for Disney but even they have to know how big the series is

Oh I checked the episode The Haw-Hawed Couple where Martin Prince uses a word used to describe a bundle of sticks. It was left intact.........Disney Plus has balls!
