It’s finally here. 

Netflix may have to give up its coveted crown for a while, because a new streaming service has been swept up on our shores. 

And like the fools for nostalgia that we are, this one already has a guaranteed place in our hearts (and by extension, our bank accounts). 

That’s right, Disney+ has come to stake its claim on our souls and wallets. Are you ready? 

“Highly Anticipated” Disney+ Comes to S’pore on Feb 23, Prepares to Celebrate on Launch on Feb 24

Disney+ arrived in town on Tuesday, Feb 23. Singapore is the very first international market to launch Disney+ with all six well-loved content brands: Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic and Star. 

To find out exactly what kind of content you’ll be able to access under these six brands, read this article. 

The streaming service boasts an impressive range of over 650 films and 15,000 episodes of content from The Walt Disney Company, spanning fresh releases like Mulan, iconic blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame and even exclusive Disney+ Originals such as WandaVision.

What’s more, through the use of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technologies, Disney+ guarantees the highest quality viewing experience, with top-rate visual and audio quality. 

Yup, that means that you’re promised the signature “all around you” cinematic sound experience right from the comfort of your very own couch. 

Apart from the high-quality ad-free viewing experience (god forbid being interrupted by a commercial right in the climax of Endgame), you’ll be pleased to know that the subscription comes with up to four simultaneous streams, unlimited downloads of content on up to ten devices and seven different user profiles per account. 

Thankfully, Disney+ hasn’t forgotten that we’re in the middle of a pandemic. If a solitary movie night simply isn’t your cup of tea, you’ll be able to watch your favourite shows with your family and friends virtually with the help of a handy GroupWatch feature. 

Tempted yet? For just S$11.98 per month or $119.98 per year, you can sign up for a subscription right here or download the Disney+ app on both iOS and Android devices. 

And guess what? If you happen to be a StarHub Mobile+, TV+ or Broadband customer, you’re in luck—you can look forward to up to two years of access to Disney+, completely free of charge! 

In commemoration of the highly anticipated launch, A Night of Disney+ will premiere tonight (Feb 24) at 8pm SGT. 

The programme will be aired on Mediacorp Channel 5, Channel 8 as well as StarHub’s Hub E-City Ch 111/835. You will also be able to stream the event on meWATCH and Facebook. 

The show promises star-studded musical performances by prominent local artistes JJ Lin, Nathan Hartono, Benjamin Kheng, and Annette Lee that you simply won’t want to miss. 

According to Bandwagon, a teaser featuring a “transformation” of the Marina Bay area for the event’s surprise Grand Finale has also been released by The Walt Disney Company. 

Be sure to tune into the event tonight to catch the special surprise!
