That seems like a pretty low-key announcement for what sounds like a blockbuster (no pun) deal?

If I were Disney, I'd create my own service. HBO claims such a thing is hard but I don't buy it. Charge $50-100 for some ever-changing sub-set of the library. Profit. Still provides plenty of room to cut deals with all the movie services and maintain some artificial scarcity.

I hate the idea of having to subscribe to a dozen different services for different content I may or may not want, but I guess it's more along the line of paying for only what you want.

Me, too. But Disney is pretty unique, especially for kids.
