The new “Star” section is worth it ? Are you forced to go through Canal+ in France to use it ? How can you watch Disney+ on your TV ?

Disney+ has been accessible in France for almost a year and a half now. After many months of waiting, the service was launched in April 2020. Then, a year more tar, the video -on -request video platform (SVOD) had transferred, welcoming the new Star section, dedicated to content that targets a more adult audience, and increasing its tariffs by two euros per month.

From now on, it has 116 million paying monthly subscribers, which makes it the second most powerful streaming video service after the Netflix leader – even if the two are not so comparable.

The service is accessible directly on the Disney+ site or via Android or iOS applications on mobile. It is possible to consult the service on a television by doing some manipulations, or via Disney+ in Canal+, which has established strong partnerships with the Mickey firm.

New films and series on Disney+ France in January 2022

In January 2022, it will be necessary to count on some new additions of films on Disney+ but not much: it is above all the Bobba Fet book (a series on the bonus hunter, which makes Star Wars fans stack) which will be the event on the SVOD platform on December 29.

Each month, Disney+ puts online exclusive new content in France, while respecting the chronology of the French media, which prevents it from putting films online for 36 months after their dining room release. But for a few months, she has had her own Marvel original series, as Wandavision, Falcon and the winter soldier, Loki or Hawkeye, who feed its catalog well.

Parental control on Disney+

Parental control has changed drastically on Disney+: it is now possible to configure the different age classifications in a very extensive manner depending on the profiles you created on the platform. We made a complete tutorial, apart, to guide you in this task.

Exclusive French series on Disney+

This is an important step for Disney+: on February 16, 2021, the platform unveiled its first 4 100 % original French series, which will be produced and broadcast by Disney. There is not yet a release date for these new content, because some projects are still in the casting stage, but we already know the main lines:

• Oussekine : a dramatic mini-series on the death of Malik Oussekine following police violence in the 80s;
• Soprano : a document series on the French rapper;
• Parallels : teens who travel to parallel universes;
• Family weekend : a comedy on a blended familiar.

The first two will be available in the Star section, while the other two, more family -friendly, will be accessible in Disney+ from any profile.

What is Disney+ ?

Disney+ is a video -on -request video platform (SVOD), which means that subscribers pay a fixed sum per month to access a catalog of streaming video content, accessible in an unlimited manner. It is a different concept of VOD (video on demand) which allows you to pay the unit for content (by paying for example 3 euros to rent a film, or 10 euros to buy it in dematerialized).

The service therefore works on the same principle as Netflix, launched in France in 2014, Canal+ series, or even Salto, the future French platform (which should however mix part of SVOD with a broadcast of live channels).

Disney+ has an openly very “positioning family “, Unlike Netflix, which does not really have a clean editorial line, but is more like a large supermarket which offers varied content so that all its subscribers can find themselves there. We often compare the two giants between them, when they have postulates, catalogs and very different offers. To help you see more clearly, we have written a large comparison of Disney+ and Netflix offers.

Disney+ and the story of a delayed launch

In mid-March 2020, the government had asked Disney+ ” to adjust its offer on the market “, According to Les Echos, for fear that European Internet networks will be overloaded because of the influx of Internet connections. The video is indeed what consumes the most bandwidth on the net, far ahead of everything else, and the Disney+ infrastructure have specificities that worried the public authorities. It is for this reason that the SVOD platform agreed to postpone its two -week launch in France.

The date of March 24, on the other hand, was maintained for other European countries such as Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland Spain and the United Kingdom-where Disney was however committed to reducing your flow.

A week earlier, carelessness still reigned; Rumors were going well on the possibility for Disney to advance the launch of its platform, due to the situation linked to the coronavirus epidemic in France which pushes the inhabitants to remain confined to their homes. “” We are sorry not to be able to advance the launch of Disney+ “, Disney+ announced on Twitter. “” We received messages on social networks, which asked us to advance the launch date. Unfortunately, it was not possible “, Confirmed to the world Kevin Mayer, in charge of consumer strategy at Disney. This time now seems very distant.

Disney announced for the first time its video on -request video service (SVOD) Disney+ almost a year ago, on April 11, 2019, during a conference with its shareholders, expressing its very high ambitions in online video. Since then, the American multinational continues to confirm its status as a serious competitor of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and the other current platforms.

Svod’s service was launched in a few countries like the United States on November 12, 2019, and will soon arrive in France and Europe. Cost of the subscription, interface, content: Here is all that we know about the future service of Svod de Disney.

When Disney+ was released in France ?

Disney+ has been available since November 12, 2019 in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands. For the rest of Europe, you have to be more patient. The deployment program that Disney had announced was between February and May 2020: it was ultimately at the very beginning of the summer that Disney+ arrives with us.

In France, the Disney+ offer has been available since April 7, 2020: the multinational first announced that it was advancing the launch of its offer, which was originally scheduled for March 31, 2020, Just like in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany and Italy. None of these countries will benefit from a launch earlier than expected, despite the coronavirus epidemic which affects many European Union states. On the contrary, Disney explained that France would finally know A two -week postponement To avoid any risk of bandwidth saturation.

Kevin Mayer, president in charge of customer relations, argued that other European countries would have access to Disney+ on March 24 as planned, but under increased surveillance: ” In anticipation of high demand for Disney+, we proactively set up measures to reduce the overall use of the bandwidth by at least 25% in countries launching Disney+ on March 24 », Can we read in the official press release.

Disney also announced that its SVOD service would arrive at least in Belgium, Portugal and the Scandinavian countries in the summer of 2020.

Disney+ and the Indian case

In India, Disney+ had been launched by surprise on March 11, 2020. This is a somewhat special arrival, because the multinational decided to go through an application that already existed, and was very popular, Hostar, which belongs to it. Disney+ content have been added to Hostar, which was renamed Hostar Disney+ for the occasion, with a draft interface. But, a few hours later, the multinational had finally turned, adding that it should in fact be a ” test ” limit.

On March 20, 2020, Disney then made a more important decision: postponing the official launch of Disney+ in India, for an unexpected reason: the postponement of the annual cricket championship, extremely followed in India. Disney hoped to rely on the success of the Indian Premier League, viewable in Hostar, to interest subscribers in its Disney content+. There is no new official release date yet.

Then finally, on April 3, 2020, Disney+ officially launched in India with a very competitive rate of 18.5 euros per year (against 69.99 euros in Europe), and without based on the Indian Premier League,

Disney+ in the Middle East and North Africa

Disney+ will be available in 17 countries in North Africa and the Middle East from April 9, Reuters revealed on April 2. This is an exclusive partnership with the OSN diffuser, which will allow the contents of the SVOD platform to be disseminated on paid channels and streaming.

What is the price of Disney+ in France ?

Since mid-January, it was necessary to count 6.99 euros per month (or £ 5.99 in the United Kingdom) or 69.99 euros per year (£ 59.99), but the subscription then increased with Star, at 8.99 euros per month, thanks to this new, more extensive catalog.

Disney+ prices have changed since February 2021, to have access to more adult content. The annual subscription is worth 89.99 euros since February 23, 2021 for new subscribers.

The offer is without obligation, which means that customers can unsubscribe when they wish. “” The termination will take effect at the end of the current invoicing period “Said Disney in a tweet.

Internationally, prices are more or less the same: $ 8.99 per month or $ 69.99 per year ($ 5.75 per month) in the United States, and 8.99 euros per month in countries -Down.

Disney+ in Canal+: Details of offers for old and new subscribers

Canal+ had already announced to its current customers that subscribers to its cine/series and integral+ offer will be entitled to Disney+ for free in their subscription. The other packs (family and canal+) will benefit “only” from Disney+ for free for a year.

We now also know the entire detail of all the offers for new subscribers, which mainly incorporate American service into Canal+ subscriptions:

How to watch Disney+ in France

Disney+ is accessible on:

• Desktop site;
• Tablet ;
• Mobile ;
• Consoles;
• Connected televisions

In France, Disney+ is available in OTT (on mobile, tablet and computer) but also via internet boxes thanks to the unprecedented partnership with Canal+, announced on December 14.

In France, there will therefore be two ways to watch Disney+:

• Via operators’ internet boxes : You must use the MyCanal app to access the Disney catalog, as the two giants have reached a recently agreement. Disney has yet had no agreement with the ISPs (SFR, Bouygues, Orange and Free), because it would notably ask for a very high sum (the world mentions 100 million euros over 5 years per operator).
• In OTT (Over-the-Top) That is to say by directly downloading the Disney+ application to your mobile, tablet or multimedia box (Apple TV, Shield TV …).

On March 5, 2020, Amazon announced that it will be possible to watch Disney+ on Fire TV Stick and on the Fire tablets of Amazon.

Disney+ recently shared a sticker that shows the extent of the tools and devices that will allow you to watch its content on your TV:

• Apple TV
• Fire TV
• Android TV
• Roku
• Chromecast
• Consoles (PS4 and Xbox)
• LG connected televisions (” Insofar as their TV is equipped with webos of a 2016 or higher version “, Specifies the brand) and Samsung

What films and series on Disney+ ?

This is Disney’s strength: the multinational is an ogre that has a very large number of brands (Pixar, Marvel, Fox). It is for this reason that Disney was able, for example, to announce that there will be, exclusively on Disney+, the 30 seasons of the cult series The Simpsons (about 242 hours of the famous yellow family made available to subscribers). In the United States, the Disney+ catalog has more than a thousand content, including:

• Current and future marvel blockbusters (Captain Marvel, the guards of the Vol Galaxy. 3, Doctor Strange 2, etc.)),
• THE Star Wars current and future,
• Current and future Pixar and Disney films (Toy Story 4, Frozen 2)),
• The contents of 21st Century Fox – bought for $ 71.3 billion – as Avatar, the saga X-Men, but also cult series like Futurama, Malcolm in the Middle (and so, The Simpsons)).

Disney+ will also have exclusive content that is being produced, including several series on superheroes (Loki, the red witch, Falcon, Hawkeyee, Winter Soldier) but also series on Star Wars like The Mandalorian, which was broadcast at the rate of one episode per week from November 12. “” Disney will be launched in November with more than 25 original series and 10 original films and documentaries “Said the company in a press release. The announced catalog is more than 7,500 episodes of series and 500 films.

The French Disney+ catalog unveiled

In France, the catalog is necessarily more hazardous. Due to the law on the chronology of the media which imposes a certain number of constraints on SVOD platforms, in terms of time before being able to recover a film after its release in theaters, which can extend up to 36 months in office financial investments of the multinational in French fiction – which are almost non -existent for the moment.

On March 6, 2020, Disney presented in a press release all the series, films and cartoons that would be available in its French catalog when it was launched on March 24. There are a lot of cold content, through its different brands and franchises (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic).

We have compiled in another article all the titles present in Disney+ France: there are many cartoons and films, as well as the 30 seasons of Simpson but also 26 “Original creations “Which will not exist anywhere else.

Disney original series+

A weekly broadcast for the original series

To make up for this little “fresh” content, Disney+ has decided to reproduce its American strategy in France, and broadcast the episodes of its series The Mandalorian weekly; A strategy that may seem sluggish because it will de facto create a difference in treatment between French subscribers and American subscribers, who will nevertheless pay the same price for their subscription.

• The Mandalorian : The first two episodes will be available on March 24, then the third will arrive on March 27. They will then go out every Friday.
• Star Wars: The Clone Wars : The first two episodes will be available on March 24, then there will be two episodes every Friday from March 27, until April 17, 2020. The idea is to be able ” catch up The delay (but still insisting on the weekly broadcasting strategy) compared to the United States where the series has already been released in mid-February. From April 17, there will only be one episode per week in simultaneous broadcasting across all countries.

The other original series will also go out in a dropper, at the rate of one episode every Friday. This is what we saw for Wandavision, but also Loki, which became the first series of the MCU to have a sequel.

Disney problems+

It would seem that the very “family” positioning of Disney+ poses some concerns in terms of creative choices. Recently, the reboot announced Lizzie McGuire, The 2000s series was paused after the showrunner was sent by Disney. Actress Hilary DUFF suggested that she would like the project to be for Disney+, but that he will be transferred to Hulu, the other SVOD platform of the multinational, which is intended for a more adult audience.

It must be said that Disney had already made this decision concerning two other productions: adaptations to the series of the book High Fidelity and film Love, Simon were indeed both transferred to Hulu before their launch, because they content too many swears and references to sexuality. “” Directors were not comfortable with the idea of ​​inserting this into the Disney family catalog+ “Summarizes the Hollywood Reporter. Paradoxically, the series The Simpsons, Who is also in the Disney+catalog, is however very cynical and does not hesitate to play on provocative fiber – but in view of the success of the animation series, Disney could not imagine doing without its 30 seasons, which are a Big asset in his sleeve.

In addition to these choices, Disney would also have canceled three development series, including one based on the universe of Tron.

Disney+ Censures films and cartoons ?

Since Disney+ has been accessible in France, we have been able to discover certain modifications that have been made to Disney films so that they correspond to the “family” spirit wanted by the platform. If some cartoons have been changed a long time ago because they could carry dangerous or racist messages, it would seem that at least one of them, the film Splash, was expressly published for Disney+: false hair has been added to cover the buttocks of actress Daryl Hannah, which we can see in the original version.

The hanging between Disney+ and Scarlett Johansson

Disney will pay several million to Scarlett Johansson because of Disney+: the actress estimated, in the summer of 2021, that the broadcast on the streaming platform Black Widow He would have caused him financially wrong (because fewer visits to theaters), and his image would have been used to advertise Disney+.

The Disney interface+

The French platform, as we have seen by trying it this April 7, 2020, is exactly similar to the American version. A very classic and refined home page shows a “one” content in the form of a banner, with several Disney franchises below (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic).

At the level of the menu bar, we see a search function, a list of content (those you will put on view of viewing so as not to forget them) but also three categories of content: films, series and ” original »».

In terms of “sheets” of each content, the Disney+ interface really looks like other competitors like Netflix, with a raw presentation, rather sober and which seems functional.

The tabs at the top of the home page show the importance given to the “waiting list” of the user or the user, as well as the highlighting of the original Disney+ content-which will be, let us remember , however few in many French launch.

Some unknown features of the interface

• How to modify the size, font and color of the subtitles;
• How to deactivate automatic reading of the next episode;
• How to display bonuses related to video content (making-off, cut scenes, etc);
• How to choose the quality of the videos you want to download on mobile or tablet

From 4K on Disney+ ?

Disney+ normally offers 4K content, which is a huge plus for good quality video lovers. However, it is not sure that the available content is all in very high definition: Disney specifies that there is ” Ultra high definition on a selection of content »». The multinational will however block smartphones without Widevine L1, the Google system on Android.

It should be noted that no Disney+ series will be accessible in 4K ” During the confinement period “Said the platform in its press release. Indeed, as in Europe, the flow will be reduced to minimize the risks of saturation of internet networks.

How to download Disney+ content to your smartphone ?

According to Kevin Mayer, it is possible to download ” All contents » – But only on smartphone and tablets. Recall that Netflix, for example, also allows you to download only certain videos, and only on mobile.

It is possible to download the content to your mobile, without any limit – which is not the case on Netflix where only certain films and certain series can be downloaded from Smartphone.

As our colleagues from Fundroid noted, just go to the Disney+app, then:

• Click on your profile;
• Go to the parameters;
• Go to downloads;
• Choose the quality (normal, medium and high) of the recorded content.

You can choose if you want the download to be done only on Wi-Fi, as well as the location where you want the content stored (on the smartphone directly or on an SD card if you have one).

Streaming: Disney+ launches its offer with pub in France and increases its prices

Bob Iger, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, has promised several measures supposed to revive the monetization of its Svod Disney+ service and slow down the decline of its media and entertainment branch.

Nothing is going well in the wonderful world of Disney. During the publication of its quarterly results, the American firm showed several signs of weakness that its income of $ 22.3 billion in the third quarter, up 4% over one year, did not reach camouflage.

Because if the profits of amusement parks, experiences and Disney products increased by 11% over a year, going from $ 2.18 billion in the third quarter from 2022 to 2.42 billion at the same period this year, The branch dedicated to the media and entertainment of the company shows another face.

In one year, its profits dropped by 18% to $ 1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2023. A debacle which is all the more visible when compared the first nine months of the current tax year ($ 2.24 billion in profits) to those of 2022 (4.13 billion): minus 46%.

A loss of 11.7 million subscribers in Disney+

Granting progress that “Will not always be linear”, The CEO of Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, wants to remain optimistic. “Despite the short -term contrary winds, I am incredibly confident in Disney’s long -term trajectory […]”, he commented on the announcement of the financial results of his company.

The businessman knows that the rout of his media and entertainment branch (which includes among others Disney films, the Disney +platform, channels of the American cable, ESPN, Hulu) is not about to stop. And in part because of the strike of screenwriters and actors in the United States who could well paralyze or from the month strongly slow down the ecosystem in the coming months. Disney and its CEO are also regularly targeted by the strikers and their supporters.

Bob Iger also announced a drastic decrease in the number of subscribers to Disney+: minus 11.7 million in the third quarter, for a total of 146.1 million around the world. But this decline has no connection with the North American situation and is mainly due to the loss of the rights of an Indian cricket competition, which caused the departure of 12.5 million Indians of the Disney+ Hostar service.

The announced end of account sharing

Bob Iger soon hopes to end this series of bad news for the financial health of the company. In continuation of his policy to reduce costs in recent months, he has announced several important new features concerning Disney+. Deployed in December in the United States, its advertising streaming offer will be accessible from November 1 in certain European countries, including France, and Canada. It will cost 5.99 euros per month.

It should also be noted that French users who have subscribed to the standard Disney+ offer (at 8.99 euros per month) will see their subscriptions automatically required in premium offer (at 11.99 euros). A premium offer whose price will increase again in October in the United States, from $ 10.99 to 13.99 dollars.

The segmentation of offers looks like that operated by Netflix last November. We must also believe that Disney is inspired by its main competitor on the SVOD market, which also suffers from the crisis. Like Netflix, Bob Iger wishes to attack accounts in the coming months: “Later this year, we will start updating our subscription contracts with additional conditions as well as our sharing policies.”” A roadmap which will aim to set off the machine by “Stimulating monetization during the year 2024.””
