Disney+ is an American subscription-based streaming service owned by Disney Streaming, a division of Disney Entertainment. Launched in November 2019, it primarily features content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and other Disney-owned brands, along with original and exclusive productions. It ranks as the third most-subscribed streaming service after Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, with over 150 million subscribers. Disney+ originated from BAMTech, a streaming technology company Disney acquired and restructured in anticipation of its broader streaming strategy. The service has expanded globally, reaching regions across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. While praised for its content library, it has faced criticism for technical issues and content alterations.
