Disney’s very own, highly anticipated streaming platform, Disney+, is less than a month from hitting the Internet and our television screens. As exciting as that is, not everyone is completing sold on having to pay for yet another streaming service. Netflix, Hulu, HBOGo, Youtube Red… the list of television and film platforms seems to be growing by the day. While the thought of shelling out even more money for entertainment content is part of the problem for many, an even bigger part of the problem is that each streaming service is beginning to carry specific programs that others don’t; not to mention the increasing amount of truly award-winning original content.

If you’re like me, you will want to rewatch all of your childhood favorites while simultaneously doing everything in your power to not miss out on anything and everything that the media is talking about in regard to new shows/films, which means that adding another streaming platform to my roster of them isn’t too heartbreaking. If you’re not into that, stick to your current means of watching TV and movies. That’s cool, too! Just know that all of this and more is coming to Disney and possibly Disney+ only. Choose your (streaming) fighter.
