Has anyone signed up?
What will you be watching first?
I logged on before starting work this morning, and started where it all began, Steamboat Willie.

Signed up this morning, while I will be watching things I've not seen yet - I decided ny first viewing had to be of my all time favourite animated classic Aladdin. I've been without ability to play my DVD/blurays for a while so this is amazing.

Not wanting to carp, but where is 'One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing' with Peter Ustinov? I loved that as a kid!

Signed up earlier this week after seeing the list of what’s on the US version. Loads of stuff to keep me occupied and upbeat in the coming weeks.
I’m starting with the first episode of High school musical the series.

I signed up back when it was slightly cheaper before release. There's lots of stuff to keep people busy, as I own most of the classic animation cannon on DVD, but have very little Pixar, Marval or Star Wars, so that alone is enough to keep us going! There's also the new live actions which we have missed most of the new ones, so a great way to watch them, and not have to own them if we don't enjoy them! Can't wait to get home tonight and start watching!

There's a solid amount of content, there are omissions like Song of the South which Disney has said will never debut on any platform and the MCU films made by other studios but overall pretty good.

It’s 6 months free with an O2 subscription I believe, although I think you might have to recontract.

It looks a bargain with very many movies from Disneys back catalogue, including the classic `The Cat From Outer Space`.

If you're a Star Wars fan, then you must watch The Mandalorian. Loved every episode of it.

A strong recommendation from me is for "The Imagineering Story" - basically the history of Disney theme parks for the past 6 years. Fascinating

I also signed up for the yearly pass at £49.99 - seems like a really good deal now as I’m impressed with the content. Added quite a few things to my watchlist yesterday. Started with High School Musical the series and enjoyed episode one so far. Looking forward to starting The Mandalorian.

Guilty pleasure of the HSM programme, and loved ‘The Mandalorian’. Will prove to be a good investment I think.

That was definitely going to be the first thing I watched on there yesterday & then I made the same devastating discovery as you. Too racist, methinks. Lots of white actors playing comedy Chinamen.

Signed up for Hamilton, have still only watched Hamilton - must dip in to the rest, particularly now I have six months free from O2!

Have a look at the very short pieces when they put the characters of the animated Films in the streets of New York, very funny. Dash running round a building and WallE and the wedding ring. And more.

I really enjoyed High School Musical the Musical the Series - didn’t expect it to be much but I ended up being pleasantly surprised and found it genuinely enjoyable.
Diary of a Future President is also very good, if youre into that kind of thing.
In terms of films, I really wish Enchanted was on there as it is one of my favourites.

I agree with aingidh HSM the series was extremely fun and enjoyable. There’s some really good shorts under the films section (usually less than 10 minutes long). I particularly enjoyed The Blue Umbrella, Paperman and The Little Matchgirl (tissues required!). They might not be my favourite ever films but there’s a lot on there if you just want something lighthearted or uplifting to watch. I’d recommend Million Dollar Arm, the Mighty Ducks trilogy, John Carter and of course the Disney classics we all know and love.

I've finally got round to watching the last 3 Star Wars films. Having decided to have a binge day watching them last weekend, they were certainly an improvement on Episodes 1-3 (Jar Jar Binks was a really annoying character),but you cannot beat episodes 4-6 as great Sci-Fi films.
Having a read of what other people have enjoyed, i'll start making my way through them this weekend.

My faves so far Encore! Once upon a mattress - utterly brilliant Tracey Ullman princess and the pea movie. All the freaky Friday and parent swap films.

We’ve been watching all the Marvel films in chronological order (not release date) and it’s been bloody marvellous. Wasn’t a marvel fan in the slightest, was looking for something easy watching of an evening to a) stop me working in the evenings and b) stop me thinking about work in the evenings!
Only got Avengers Infinity war and Endgame left to watch.

What has everyone set their profile pictures to from the characters available?
I’ve gone with Hannah Montana. Just because, why not.

Great question. My daughter is Elenor of Avalor and Giles and I are Joy from Inside Out.
One thing I like about the service is that auto play next episode is disabled for children’s profiles.
I enjoyed the documentary about Frozen 2 (and felt that it explained why there were so many giant plot holes), suggest everyone experiences ‘The Little Mermaid Live’ because it’s like being on acid and, not unsurprisingly, I disliked Hamilton.
