I agree with this. Most families in the western world would pay upwards of $30 to be able to show Disneys back catalog to their kids. Unlimited nostalgia. But I hope they don't pull a typical Disney and portion out their content by arbitrary restrictions. Families will pay either way regardless though.


Upwords of $30/month? That is way too expensive!


Agreed. $30/month for only Disney content would only be for the die-hards IMHO, but there are a fair number of those. Saying "most" families would is unfounded.


I said western-world families. That amount is chump change to most of them, considering how expensive it is to raise a family. Nostalgia + keeping their kids busy = priceless.


Hahaha you'll find having a family in the west means you have a lot less money to blow on single content streaming services. :)

We have a dual income (both successful professionals) and we are careful with our money. We have to be with all those child related expenses.


But it's for your kids. Then all sense goes out the window.


Are you raising a family on median income in The West?


Hi, family with 4 kids, very happy to see Vaiana come on Netflix the other week. No way in hell will we pay an extra subscription just to watch old Disney films. I want one streaming service and will pay more for more (I upgraded our Netflix to support more devices). I will not pay for multiple services like this.


I think the future you are looking at is no Disney content on Netflix and much, much more Disney content on Disney-flix.


This exactly. When Disney has nothing on Netflix, people will miss it. It is a risky move however, as Netflix is sure to launch shows targeted to the Disney demographic very shortly after Disney leaves, and they are a force to be reckoned with.
