Disney+ launches with a number of surprises including nearly all of the Star Wars films in 4K

by
Disney+ is Here

Well, Disney+ is here at last and it offers some surprises!

The service went live last at about 9PM Pacific (Midnight Eastern) and it’s running very smooth right out of the gate.

But the surprise is how much 4K/HDR content is available on the service.

It starts with nearly all of the Star Wars films. You read that right: All of them are here in 4K with HDR except Solo and The Last Jedi (because Netflix has the rights to those for a few more months).

But you also get most (but not all) of the Marvel films, almost all of the Pixar animated films, a TON of Disney live action films and even some surprises of classic animation. [Read on here...]

Among the surprises: The Black Cauldron, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and The Sword and the Stone!

Here’s a complete list I’ve compiled just browing through the listings (it’s possible I’ve missed one or two, but I’ll update the list if so). Note that a few of the titles listed below are included in the Disney+ 4K and HDR section, but are not available until the date listed due to preexisting licensing deals with Netflix:
