All the Disney+ films and TV shows that have been deleted from the service

filmstories.co.uk

It's a sad reality that streaming services are deleting original films from platforms - here's everything that's disappeared from Disney+

It's too long to abbreviate here. It's quite surprising what they've deleted.

Fuck sites that have a multiple page cookie policy page and no reject all button.
- My default browsers, on mobile and desktop, both open incognito/private tabs by default.
  I'll still click no, or don't accept, if it pops up, but when a page is shitty like this, I'm not too worried about them collecting data on how I browser this page while reading this one article.
  
  AFAIK, incognito mode will only protect you from reading multiple articles on their site, no difference for a single one.
Disney put their content back into the vault?
90s kid shocked pikachu face
- Man these kids now days don't understand the pain of the vaulting ....
  
  If they watched the Olympics they may.
  
  I mean, the vaulting was significantly less painful than this.
  Many of these movies and shows were released as Disney plus exclusives in the last 4 years.
  Meaning, there are no physical copies anywhere, and there is nowhere but the high seas to find this content now.
  As a kid, I never gave a shit about the vault, because it's not like they came to your house and took the VHS away.
Delisted content should automatically be considered public commons/public domain. Also fuck Disney for bankrolling trade organizations lobbying copyright into the ground with 100+ years bs, there's no good argument for copyright over 5 years.
I hear these are all being hosted on jellyfin instead.
Popover to accept cookies, if you go to manage preferences there is no option to save your preferences.
Is there someone who understands / can explain the tax principles behind the removal? I see the term impairment charge mentioned in the article. Best I can tell, the company is saying their book value is higher than the actual value of the item, so they can take the loss and write it off. But why does that necessitate removing it?
Is this also the reason that Disney used to put stuff into "the vault" back in the day?
I'm all on board with piracy-first (I don't even bother to figure out how to pay for movies/TV anymore because piracy is so much more convenient), but I want to be able to explain to a layman why things are getting worse.
- Not an accountant but I assume they have to pay members of the cast and crew for having it on their streaming service and, potentially license other content (like songs). In the contracts it'll say they have to pay a lump sum for removing it early and they have figured that this would be the cheaper option.
  
  That makes sense, thanks.
- Narco Wars is available on ABC or whatnot. All the services are basically treating licenses like trading cards
  disney fucking OWNS ABC. there's no fucking excuse for this, it's not like netflix having to let go of certain things when the shitty licencing agreement ends.
  source : worked on streaming video site, our services were worse than porn sites because of the shitty licencing deals
- It's not licensed material. Disney is deleting their own original content so they don't have to pay residuals to the actors and crew who worked on them.
- The article specifically states that there's nowhere you can (legally) watch much of this. It's so much worse than just trading licenses.
The Princess was really entertaining. Like "The Raid" by literally Disney.
How much do you suppose the music rights and residuals cost for these properties that Disney already owns? Is it insignificant? Would switching to a streaming model similar to the music industry change things (you only get paid per view)?
Flora & Ulysses? Awe that was such a cute film. Also really liked Rosaline. Can't say any other films on this list jump out to me though.
That is nothing new they always did this with cinemas and DVD/Blu rays too. You wanted to do a screening of the jungle book? You can't. You want to buy a box of your favorite movies, out of stock to create an artificial scarcity and demand for the Christmas season.
