Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (from team What Hi-Fi? based in the UK), a man called Walt Disney founded Walt Disney Studios with his brother and became one of the most renowned motion-picture animators in the world. Fast forward nearly 100 years, over 400 movies and more than 60 Academy Award wins and, thanks to the Disney Plus video streaming service, nearly every Disney title ever committed to celluloid is now available to stream in one place.
Disney Plus (Disney+) is a natural rival to the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+, available in loads of countries and offering a rich catalogue of films and TV shows from Disney and its subsidiaries – Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar and National Geographic, as well as a slate of new Disney+ Originals. Now, Disney Plus subscribers in Europe, Canada, New Zealand and the UK (and even more recently, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea) also have access to Star, a channel that offers "grown-up" content from ABC and 20th Century Fox back-catalogues, plus originals already live on US streaming service Hulu (which Disney has a majority stake in).
