Just like country erasers, crying, and white shoes, Disney is a fundamental part of growing up in Singapore, whether its cartoons that kept you occupied as a kid, or films that blew your adolescent mind away.
Starting as a cartoon studio in the 1920s, Disney has grown in popularity over the years, diversifying into live-action film production, television, and theme parks and expanding its operations across the globe.
More recently, Disney entered the streaming service scene, to compete with giants like Netflix and Amazon.
Well, now that streaming service is coming to town.
