The Walt Disney Company is preparing to launch a new digital streaming service in the UK.
The company announced on Wednesday that DisneyLife will bundle thousands of Disneyย TV episodes, books, albums, and movies, including the Pixar catalogue and classics like “Snow White” and “The Jungle Book.”
“This is the future, in many respects,”ย Disney CEOย Bob Igerย said per the Financial Times. “We’re seeing more and more opportunities to reach consumers directly and not through middlemen, and we’re seeing consumers wanting product in different ways.”
The service is due to launch next month, with the goal being to expand into France, Germany, and Spainย in the next year.
