Disney+ is coming to South Africa on 18 May. This is how its library and features stack up to video streaming leader Netflix.
A Disney+ subscription in South Africa will offer less than half the titles available on Netflix but boasts superior features at a lower price.
These include popular movies and TV shows from Disney’s Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic properties. Netflix’s library is the same across all its plans but differs from region to region based on geographic-specific content licencing agreements. While Netflix Standard is R40 more expensive, this works out to around 2.8 cents per title compared to 5.2 cents on Disney+.
With 4K TVs gradually becoming more affordable and prominent manufacturers phasing out full HD sets from their high-end offerings, the new resolution could soon become the standard for middle class and affluent households.Disney+ also offers support for HDR and Dolby Atmos surround sound on specific titles, features which are exclusive to the Premium plan on Netflix.
