What is it?

Later this year, Disney is launching its own rival video streaming service. The theme? Family-friendly content.

Unlike Netflix, Disney+ content won't be rated any higher than a 12A.

What will be on it?

Also known as Disney+, this platform aims to include 7,000 TV shows and every film in Disney's library.

But you won't just be feeling the love with Simba or exploring A Whole New World with Aladdin - because there will be original stuff on there too.
