When Disney began pulling out its content on the online streaming giant Netflix, followed by the eventual announcement of their own digital streaming platform Disney+, it seemed to signal to everyone that the entertainment juggernaut will in future offer streaming of their movies and shows only within its own backyard.
But this latest development seems to debunk that theory. Disney has apparently stuck a new deal with a streaming service based outside the US. This is Stan, one of Australia’s homegrown streaming platforms, and the first to have an original program to score a nomination at the Logies (Aussie Emmys).
This partnership will see Stan carry an astonishing number of films and TV series from Walt Disney and its various subsidiaries. Here’s the full list:
Disney-Pixar
- Toy Story trilogy
- Finding Nemo
- Frozen
- The Lion King
- Cars (1 and 2)
- Monsters (Inc. and University)
- Big Hero 6
- The Incredibles
- Up
- Wall-E
- Beauty and the Beast (1991)
- Maleficent
- The Little Mermaid
- Cinderella (2015)
- Coco
- A Wrinkle in Time
Marvel
- Iron Man trilogy
- Thor trilogy
- Captain America (First Avenger and Winter Soldier)
- Avengers films (up to Infinity War)
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Ant-Man
- Black Panther
Lucasfilm
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi
- Solo: A Star Wars Story
Disney Channel
- Sofia the First
- The Lion Guard
- Tangled: The Series
- Star Wars Rebels
- Andi Mack

All these Disney goodies should already be available on Stan throughout Australia by December 14. So no, the House of Mouse isn’t hogging all its media for streaming yet.
