 With Disney Plus, subscribers can watch thousands of Disney movies and TV series from their devices - smart TVs, phones, laptops, tablets, and gaming consoles all included.

Though some may already have the equivalent in DVDs at home...

We all know that guy, don't we?

Anyway, the list of movies and TV shows now made available, on-demand, is endless...

 Even more so than your old DVD collection. Whether you're a self-confessed Marvel geek, the more retro kind of Disney fan who opts for the '90s classics, or you simply want to binge the entirety of High School Musical (guilty), Disney Plus can make it happen.

And, with it only costing $69.99 a year...

Or $6.99 a month for all those commitment-phobes out there, it's a pretty sweet deal, to say the least.

The service also includes unlimited downloads...
