Disney Preps Pan-European Streaming Service

Financial Times: Disney’s beloved characters and stories are going digital in a first of its kind streaming service that launches in the U.K. next month. DisneyLife will go beyond other streaming services such as Netflix by bundling books and music with its hit animated and live action movies, making Disney the biggest media company yet to stream its content directly to consumers online. Disney plans to expand the service across Europe next year. “This is the future, in many respects,” said CEO Bob Iger.
