- Walt Disney Co said demand for its much-anticipated streaming service, Disney+, was well above its expectations in a launch on Tuesday marred by complaints from users about glitches and connection problems.
Some users who tried to access the service were greeted by an image of “Mickey Mouse” on a blue screen, with a message asking them to exit the app and try again. Many others had trouble finding the Disney+ app in Apple’s App Store."Not too surprised but @disneyplus looks like it's already falling over.
“Big launches often have their hiccups when consumers are fighting to be the first to have a given service.”

Disney Reveals That Every Disney Movie Takes Place In Single, Unified UniverseBURBANK, CA—During the final installment of a three-part retrospective podcast on the film studio Thursday, longtime Disney illustrator Russell Schroeder revealed that every one of the company’s live-action and animated features takes place in a single, unified world. “Most people don’t know this was the way Walt Disney envisioned it, but every one of these films takes place in the same interconnected universe,” said Schroeder, explaining that Never Never Land is only five minutes away from the coral reef where Nemo lives along with Daryl Hannah’s character from Splash.” “The plot of the The Lion King may not be happening at the same time as Aladdin, but those characters are all there in that world while it’s going on. Of course, if the filmmakers had been so inclined, they could have had Jasmine hop into Herbie Fully Loaded and speed through Pride Rock on her way to see the Jonas Brothers’ 3D Concert Experience—that is, if she didn’t get tricked by Br’er Rabbit’s Tar Baby first.” When asked why more characters didn’t cross paths during their adventures, Schroeder responded that filmmakers have approached the collective kingdom rather cautiously ever since Bambi’s mother was mistaken for a rabid dog and shot by Travis from Old Yeller.
