Disney Owns:

Marvel Disney Animation Pixar Touchstone Pictures ABC ESPN LucasArts

If they have a whole streaming platform with all the content from each of these, no way its $30/year, more like $30/month.

$30/month? Even with Disney's entire lineup, no way it's worth that much.

Given that online movie rentals are ~$2, that's watching a full length movie every other day. There's a limit to how much TV you can watch.

(And if your goal is to binge watch, it's competing with Netflix at $10/month -- which even with it's limited library is a great value.)

You’re stuck on movies, but Disney has many thousands of hours of TV co tent over hundreds of shows.
