Disney+
PROS Tons of Disney-
owned content all in
one place. Offline
downloads. 4K
streaming. Good
performance.
CONS Most originals
are from existing
franchises. Not all
content from 21st
Century Fox
acquisition available
yet. Only basic
parental controls.
BOTTOM LINE:
Disney+ offers an
impressive library of
high-quality shows
and movies in a
featured-filled video
streaming package,
but it needs to expand
its content horizons
for it to become a
must-have service.
