I don't get Disney+ at all, exactely because of this: if you want to watch Frozen 50 times, a DVD is a much better deal. You can get the entire Disney/Pixar catalog of kids movies for the price of a year's subscription.
- BLKNSLVR 5y agoI was thinking along similar lines. If re-watching a small number of movies or shows is the primary use case then there are cheaper ways to achieve the result.
- Jcowell 5y agoDVD’s aren’t as seamless as launching a streaming service and playing a title. There’s also the aspect that a Disney Plus can be in multiple devices easily while DVD’s cannot without physical friction. (Even worse if we’re talking digital and you have different devices from different providers). Disney Plus meets the conscience criteria while having frictionless content switching if one’s kid wants to watch new content.
- vel0city 5y agoIts the convenience factor. Log in to the streaming app on <insert device here>, collection with UI easy enough for a kid to mostly figure out is right there good to go. Replicating this experience with DVDs means figuring out ripping them, setting up and managing a Plex/Emby server, teaching your kids to use this interface, etc. For many of us in the tech world that doesn't seem like a big ask but there's definitely tons of parents where they see learning how to rip a DVD to be a big ask.
