Netflix Starts Getting Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm And Pixar Films Exclusively In September
Way back in 2012,Disneystruck a dealwithNetflixto make the streaming service the exclusive home to tons of movies from the House of Mouse. That included films fromMarvel, LucasfilmandPixar Animation. However, the deal didn’t begin until 2016. Thankfully, that year is now, which means we’re on the brink of getting a bunch of Disney movies at our disposal. More specifically, Disney’s exclusive Netflix deal begins in September. Find out more about the Disney Netflix deal after the jump.
Here’s what Ted Sarandos said about the deal when it was struck back in 2012:
However, don’t forget thatStar Wars: The Force Awakenswon’t be among them just yet. Since theStar Warssequel was a 2015 release, it still falls under Disney’s previous deal with Starz for the time being (unless you’re in Canada). That will change eventually, but we’re not sure when. We’re also not sure if the other sixStar Warsmovies will be coming to Netflix finally, especially since rumors of their arrivalwere debunked last year.
In addition, Disneynature documentaries will also be included in the deal. Those I’m particularly interested in since the trailers always look like fascinated chronicles of wildlife, but then I never make it to theaters to actually see them.
As of now, the roster of Disney library titles that will be made available on Netflix has not been made available, but that will likely change as we get closer to the fall. This is a huge deal for Netflix since Disney has been rocking the box office lately with hits likeZootopiaandThe Jungle Book. Plus, they’ve gotFinding Dorycoming later this year as well, and plenty moreStar Warsmovies down the road.
Which Disney titles do you hope Netflix has right away?
