DISNEY+ CELEBRATES DISNEY100
Today the service launched a new content promotional feature in front of select movies and shows for US subscribers. In honor of the company's 100th anniversary, the very first content promotion spotlight is an exclusive new piece celebrating 100 years of storytelling and reminding streamers the greatest stories live forever on Disney+.
Additionally, starting today, Disney+ subscribers can stream the stunning 4K restoration of the animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." This restored version of the 1937 classic is the result of the combined efforts of the Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team, working closely with key artists from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the same team who recently worked together on the critically acclaimed restoration of Walt Disney's 1950 animated classic, "Cinderella," that debuted on the service in August. Disney+ kicked off the celebration earlier this year with the addition of 27 restored Walt Disney Animation Studios classic shorts, featuring such iconic stars as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip n' Dale, and the studio's first star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Fans can continue celebrating the 100th anniversary by streaming all of their favorite movies and television series organized by release date decade in the Disney100 collection.
