Got it. Has a healthy collection of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars films and National Geographic pics. Just a quick perusal showed for my little one Disney classic cartoons, eg Snow White, etc. Pixar flicks like Toy Story, Monsters U...and Marvel flicks I saw were all Iron Man, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America, and Avenger flicks.

Also has the original content "Mandalorian" for Star Wars fans like myself. My wife isnt a Star Wars fan but likes Sci Fi so she watched it. We both enjoyed the first episode and pretty excited to see the next one.

$70 a year for a pretty good library and original content, so I'm in.

P.S. for anyone who watched the show like me, "I have spoken!"

Let me know what you thought of The Mandalorian. It's got some interesting people associated with it: Pedro Pascal (highly underrated actor), Carl Weathers, Jon Favreau, etc. I'm thinking of getting the service just to watch it.

Just from Episode 1 I'd say it's worth it. The setting, feel, vibe, and production was good. Refreshing to also get away from the whole Skywalker / Jedi saga for a bit and see how the "other half live." What better way than a morally gray bounty hunter who surprises you here and there even in the first episode? Good action sequences too, including ones that were like "how he gonna get out of that?"

Ending was amazing by the way. Seriously. I had a "no way...couldnt be...it is!" moment. I'm really looking forward to how they continue this story.

Intriguing for sure. I heard folks saying it's got Western vibes. Star Wars + Western, sounds like a great time.

I have it but the only reason I got it this early was take advantage of the early bird $4.99/mo discount. If not for that, I probably would have waited. Not all the promised Disney, Marvel, and Pixar content is there on opening day although there is more than enough to keep you occupied.

I'm not really a Star Wars fan but I'm eager to see the Mandalorian after all the hype. I think Disney+ will really be special when more of the original content is added next year.

I have it and it's well worth it at the $7/mo price point. The content seems to be streamed in higher quality than I've seen on other services but that may just be due to the cameras that were used to film the actual movie.

I have it. Downloaded quite a bit of stuff this morning

Mandalorian
Marvel movies (Captain Marvel, Avengers End Game, first Guardians of the Galaxy), and the Force Awakens (Episodes 1-3 for some reason are not downloadable, as are some Marvel movies).

For $6 a month, can't beat it.

The app is a bit buggy on my Roku TCL TV. It worked the first time I logged in but couldn't pull up list of content on subsequent attempts.

Anyone else?

Thanks for the head's up. I have an unlimited plan, and wouldn't you know, Verizon didn't send me anything about it.

For the price, that's pretty darn solid.

My earlier complaint about not seeing all the content promised at launch seems to be a Roku problem. I see everything on my Android phone.

Was wondering if it was just my phone but The Avengers was letterboxed for some reason...

Same for me with Endgame. I couldn't even double click to fill screen like I normally can on AppleTV.

I got it for Mandalorian, but will cancel when I am done with that. There's just nothing there for me. I like Marvel movies, but I see them once in the theater and I'm done. And I'm not a big enough Star Wars fans that I watch the the films repeatedly.

Yeah, if you don't have kids there's not a lot of must-see content there yet.

Good first episode of Mandalorian.

Aren't they also developing an Obi-Wan series, with Ewan McGregor? That should be solid too.

Mandalorian is a 1 episode per week show. Weak. I wanna binge this. I don't know if it's good enough to keep me interested for 2 months or however long it's gonna be.
