Disney+ tweets out nostalgic lineup for debut

Disney+ is heading into the streaming wars ready to battle. On Monday morning, Disney+ took to Twitter to announce all the titles it will offer when the service launches on November 12, and it’s clear the video service is zooming in on a powerful marketing tactic: nostalgia. The Disney+ Twitter account shared a brief video that flashes through a list of more than 600 titles, with a series of posts within the tweet highlighting individual films—starting with Disney classics like 1937’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and moving through the decades, ending with the original content coming to the service, like Lucasfilm’s 2019 TV series “The Mandalorian.” Of course, the Stars Wars and Fox content like “The Simpsons” that is now part of its empire is also shared. The tweet also includes a link where users can go pre-order the service, which costs $6.99 a month and $69.99 for the year. Disney also retweeted it from its company account. It. Is. Time. From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Mandalorian, check out basically everything coming to #DisneyPlus in the U.S. on November 12.Pre-order in the U.S. at https://t.co/wJig4STf4P today: https://t.co/tlWvp23gLF pic.twitter.com/0q3PTuaDWT— Disney+ (@disneyplus) October 14, 2019 On Twitter, people shared their favorite titles from yesteryear.

Mixed in with popular movies, are old Disney titles that have never known the inside of a DVD player, much less the popular sections of streaming platforms. Users will find obscure titles such as 1969’s “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes,” featuring a young Kurt Russell, and 1972’s “Justin Morgan had a horse.” There are titles that will be available on Disney+ that many believe should remain in the Disney vault, probably forever. “The streaming revolution is going to lead to a new golden age of content”The Streaming Revolution: pic.twitter.com/kD6EQZt7PL— Freddie Campion (@FreddieCampion) October 14, 2019
