In addition to Disney films and TV shows, it will feature programming from the Marvel superhero universe, the ‘Star Wars‘ galaxy, ‘Toy Story’ creator Pixar animation and the National Geographic channel. Disney is hosting Wall Street analysts at its Burbank, California, headquarters to showcase the Disney+ app and provide additional details about its online media strategy. The Disney+ programming will draw in part from Disney’s deeplibrary of classic family films. Some new Disney movies, such as a “Lady and the Tramp” remake, will go directly to the Disney+ app.
