We recently heard that the new Disney+ streaming service would be coming to Sky Q in the UK and now it is also coming to Amazon Fire TV devices in the UK.
The new Disney+ service will be available on Amazon Fire TV devices from the 24th of March, this will include Fire TV streaming devices, Fire TV Edition smart TVs, and Fire Tablets.
Seamless Integration with Alexa
On Fire TV, finding the Disney+ app and content is easy with Alexa; customers can use their included Alexa Voice Remote, paired Echo device, or Fire TV Cube with Alexa built-in. Disney+ content will be included in Fire TV’s universal search feature making it easy to find and discover content with your voice. When the app becomes available customers will be able to say things like:
- “Alexa, find Disney+”
- “Alexa, open Disney+”
- “Alexa, play The Mandalorian”
- “Alexa, find Star Wars movies.”
This integration with Alexa makes it incredibly convenient for users to access their favorite Disney+ content without having to navigate through multiple menus. The voice commands are intuitive and can significantly enhance the user experience, especially for those who are already accustomed to using Alexa for other tasks.
Enhanced Viewing Experience on Fire Tablets
Fire Tablet customers can also download movies, TV series or shorts, and watch whenever they want.
This feature is particularly useful for those who are frequently on the go. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or simply prefer watching content on a portable device, the ability to download and watch offline ensures that you never miss out on your favorite shows and movies. This is especially beneficial for families with children, as it provides a way to keep them entertained during long trips.
Subscription Details and Free Trial
There will be a seven-day free trial of the new Disney+ streaming service available at launch, and then it will cost £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year. This pricing is competitive, especially considering the vast library of content that Disney+ offers. From classic Disney movies to new original series like “The Mandalorian,” the service provides a wide range of entertainment options for all ages.
In addition to popular franchises like Star Wars and Marvel, Disney+ also includes content from Pixar and National Geographic, making it a comprehensive streaming service that caters to diverse tastes. The annual subscription option offers a slight discount, making it a more economical choice for long-term users.
Global Expansion and Future Prospects
The launch of Disney+ on Amazon Fire TV devices in the UK is part of Disney’s broader strategy to expand its streaming service globally. Since its initial launch in the United States, Disney+ has rapidly expanded to various countries, gaining millions of subscribers in a short period. The collaboration with Amazon Fire TV is a strategic move to tap into the extensive user base of Amazon’s streaming devices.
As Disney+ continues to grow, we can expect more features and content to be added, further enhancing the value of the subscription. The service’s success also puts pressure on other streaming platforms to innovate and offer competitive pricing and features.
The arrival of Disney+ on Amazon Fire TV devices in the UK is a significant development for both Disney and Amazon. It offers users an easy and convenient way to access a vast library of high-quality content, making it a valuable addition to the streaming landscape.
