Disney to launch VoD service in the United Kingdom in November

From Cinderella to Elsa, Bambi to Belle, Walt Disney's most beloved stories are set to be available online via new subscription service DisneyLife.

DisneyLife is due to hit Apple and Android phones in the coming weeks and will cost families £9.99 per month. The company gave no indication of when it might be available in the USA, but it's hard to believe that the service won't end up stateside at a few point. Priced at $15 per month, the service includes thousands of TV eps and hundreds of movies, plus a free download every month from a selection of Disney apps.

In a move which is sure to excite kids and parents alike, yet put the weight of yet another tenner-a-month subscription upon the adult party's bank balance, Disney is set to launch its new DisneyLife service in the United Kingdom this November.

Close your eyes and imagine a streaming service that would allow you to enjoy a wide variety of Disney TV shows, music and books for one monthly price.

"The complete Pixar catalogue will be included in the package but, unfortunately, Marvel and Star Wars won't be". Netflix did just recently sign a deal with Disney for access to all future theatrical releases starting next year, so there's a good chance DisneyLife won't be making its way across the pond for quite a few time.

Disney was unable to tell MailOnline how long this period of time will be, nor would it reveal how much content will be available, or when the app is expected to launch elsewhere in Europe.

In addition to this single app download, users will be able to download films and shows onto their devices to watch offline.

"DisneyLife is a great example of our strategy to utilise technology to connect with consumers in more direct and compelling ways, something that only Disney can do".
