Disney+ Won't Offer a Cheaper Ad-Supported Plan Anytime Soon

Wish they had all the classic mickey, donald and goofy shorts
10bit for all feature movies would also be appreciated

..and probably higher price tag to boot. Netflix didn't escape that either.

However, it doesn't really matter to me.. i never pay for Disney+ even so i still use it.... free Disney+

With the quality - do you feel like the episodes on Disney+ are higher quality than the dvd? The few Donald shorts that are on Disney+ look to be the same quality as the dvd to me.

I looked at the first four from the Silly Symphonies that are both streaming and dvd: Tortoise and the Hare, Babes in the Woods, Elmer Elephant, Golden Touch. They're definitely remastered/cleaned up on Disney+ versus from the discs. These are from the 30s so you might notice less difference for the later shorts, but it's easy to see, side by side. The noise is reduced and colors are brighter; they look great, actually. Also the lines are sharp because of the bump in resolution. You could argue that they look less natural on streaming, because the grain is lost also when they clean up the noise, but I think nearly everybody would prefer these streaming versions overall, only a purist type might go for the disc versions instead. I have my tv pretty close, so from further away and for stuff from the 50s, it may not be so noticeable. But I'm glad I took the time to make a note of which ones are streaming for these 30s cartoons. The streaming versions are the ones I'll watch.

I’d settle for the Donal 1946 Clown of the Jungle short being added, everything else can be added on at Disney’s leisure. LOVE the Araquon Bird’s infuriating ditty 😁
