Following the announcement of the removal of several popular television series and films, some Disney+ subscribers claim they will "boycott" the streaming service. As part of a reported cost cutting measure, almost 50 titles will be removed, including Willow, Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and Voices Rising: The Music of Wakanda Forever.
The removal of titles will begin around May 26 and has sparked a furious response from some Twitter users. Disney's CFO Christine McCarthy previously stated, cuts were incoming, saying: "We are in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC (direct to consumer) services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation."
Many taking to social media have threatened to boycott Disney+ following the announcement it will be cutting many titles. It comes as the platform lost four million subscribers in the first three months of 2023.
Taking it particularly badly, one Twitter user, Wlwdenji, wrote: "Disney basically destroying any legal way to watch Willow and Dollface… my villain origin story is realized. I hate my life."
Milkylewinsky asked: "Why is disney+ taking off willow series when its a disney+ original???? bruh." Bricksoka added: "Disney+ really wants you to unsubscribe, huh?"
JustineLee1993 tweeted: "I’m boycotting Disney—there’s a lot of things I’ve been turned off and disgusted by the company lately. The decision of taking off Big Shot from their platform was the final straw."
Tommyboy89_ typed: "Disney Plus is taking off a lot of content such as Howard, Stargirl, and Timmy Failure. This is disrespect to the filmmakers who put their hearts and souls into their project. You can give request titles on on the feedback page! #disneyplus #disney."
