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.
I will say that Hulu released the series I just watched weekly as well, not sure how much original content Hulu really has either so I could be the same situation or it could be that that's just the model Disney prefers.
I could definitely see why as the entire season of Mandalorian could easily be watched in a day, after that I could easily see a lot of people dropping until another big series comes out. This way they can make this series last a couple months which buys them to produce more stuff in the meantime.
If you are a Star Wars fan after watching a season of Mando what keeps you paying? The ability to watch all the movies, (which most SW fans already own) Clone Wars & Rebels reruns? That's a huge group they could lose after one month, and really have them out of content possibly on day one. [Reply]

From my understanding, Disney Plus will have all of the G, PG and PG-13 rated content while Hulu, which is 90% owned by the Mouse, will be the eventual home for all of the R-Rated content from Fox and Disney. [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]

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]

I definitely agree with that. It builds more excitement, anticipation and water cooler talk.
But i still prefer the all drop at once Netflix/Amazon approach [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.
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]
