Disney+ officially joins the streaming wars

Disney+ has officially become part of your streaming world.

The brand new Disney streaming service officially launched in the U.S. on Tuesday morning, debuting with the first episode of the live-action Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian. As promised, the premiere featured a bombshell reveal for the franchise that sparked quite a bit of Twitter buzz. Other originals available at launch include the new live-action Lady and the Tramp movie and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

The Disney+ library also boasts tons of films from throughout the studio's history, including its animated classics, plus Star Wars and Marvel films, although not everything is available immediately; some movies, like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, are tied up on Netflix for now.

Also available on Disney+ is Avengers: Endgame, which became the highest-grossing film of all time earlier this year and originally wasn't expected to debut on the service until December. Films have a separate tab on the service for bonus features, and Endgame's section includes a previously-unreleased deleted scene in which Katherine Langford plays an older version of Tony Stark's daughter in a vision sequence.

The Disney+ launch comes less than two weeks after Apple also entered the streaming market with its own streaming service, Apple TV+, which costs $4.99 per month. Disney CEO Bob Iger has described Disney+ as a "bet on the future of this business," clearly having realized that streaming ain't no passing craze.
