Netflix has the benefit of already having hundreds of original shows. I think since Disney+ only has a few originals as of now, that’s why they chose the weekly episode drop thing.
Maybe once they build up their originals more, they might move more to a Netflix model. But maybe not. I could see them and Apple TV+ following more of the HBO model.
Just going off what I've read as to why Disney didn't follow the Netflix and Prime model to release original series. They think there is more money in a weekly release. [Reply]

There is also some thought that weekly releases is better for people discussing each episode as they roll out which gets them more exposure vs. all drop and maybe talked about that weekend. [Reply]

Like Goof Troop.
And Gargoyles. And the original X-men animated series. [Reply]

And don’t forget The Gummi Bears.
While I am geeking out over all of that I am also really hoping that with a few of the Muppet movies on there we will have the Muppet Show at some point as well. [Reply]
I will give them credit while they have left certain things off entirely, (most notably Song of the South as mentioned earlier) they aren't changing anything to make things more PC. In fact apparently there is a warning at the beginning of certain movies indicating that they contain cultural references that aren't deemed appropriate today. And that to remove them would be like trying to claim they never happened.
Although I'm, not sure how the same doesn't apply to the stuff they are refusing to put on the service. But at least they aren't white washing everything. [Reply]
I went with the bundle. Canceled HBO since I have watched like one movie since GoT ended. I figured since a lot of Big12 basketball will be on ESPN+ now might as well. I’ve never had Hulu before, but we’ll give it a shot.
I’ve just been rolling with an antenna, Kodi, and my girlfriends Netflix. [Reply]
Have no fear, Disney knows their audience quite well and have provided safety for some of the older classics:
Disney’s new streaming service has added a trigger warning to certain classic movies like “The Jungle Book” and “Lady and the Tramp” to address possible “outdated cultural depictions” that could offend viewers.
Disney Plus, which launched Tuesday amid a host of technical issues, issued a disclaimer on some decades-old movies that reads, “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”
The warning appears in the movie descriptions for “Dumbo,” “The Jungle Book” and “Lady and the Tramp,” among others that have faced criticism for depicting racial stereotypes.

Its not just Disney stuff. There is a lot of overt racial stereotype stuff out there from the 30's-60's in movies and TV. Saw some youtube's where people put together some cringe worthy moments from "classics" and "beloved" movies and TV in that era. It's not some SJW level BS, its cringe worthy stuff that didn't even register with me the first time I saw the movie or TV show. [Reply]
Read that The Simpsons aspect ratio is jacked up where everything is 16:9 and zoomed in...instead of 4:3 which cuts off some important gags.also X-Men episode order
@brettwhite: X-MEN PSA: The episode order on Disney+ is NOT correct. It's not the airdate order. It's not the script order. It's a different order. Everything lines up until episode 3x07, and then it goes wildly off the rails.
@brettwhite: This isn't a major problem since the cartoon became way more episodic after Season 2, so you can kinda watch them in whatever order. But it's still frustrating! [Reply]
Long article...but d+ definitely needs to get things fixed soon and improve the UI features.
I've noticed a few issues with errors and retrying works on my ps4. Also sound cuts out on occasion or video freezes and sound is going. Stop and restart works. Hope they get this all patched soon and improve the search feature etc.
I also notice it doesn't track what i watched like Netflix does so I'm guessing what episode I finished. [Reply]
