Disney To Begin Streaming Full Length Movies On Web
Don’t get too excited, only a few films will be streamed. According to a Disney press release, Disney films that air on ABC as part of the network’s weekly Wonderful World of Disney will be available for free streaming on Disney.com for the week following the network airing (Monday – Friday). Here’s the schedule:
- “Finding Nemo†– currently available online through June 13
- “Monsters Inc.†– airs on ABC Saturday, June 14 at 8pm; available on Disney.com June 16-20
- “Haunted Mansion†– airs on ABC Saturday, June 28 at 8pm; available on Disney.com June 30-July 4
- “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen†– airs on ABC Saturday, July 5 at 8pm; available on Disney.com July 7-11
- “Princess Diaries 2†– airs on ABC Saturday, July 12 at 8pm; available on Disney.com July 14-18
- “Freaky Friday†– airs on ABC Saturday, July 19 at 8pm; available on Disney.com July 21-25
- “Peter Pan†– airs on ABC Saturday, Aug. 2 at 8pm; available on Disney.com Aug. 4-8
It’s a fun, kid-friendly lineup, and a step in the right direction. The Disney movie player works ok, with great video quality, but there’s no full screen mode that I could find. And the limited viewing period for each movie is unfortunate, but it’s a start.
