Everything you need to know about Disney+ Updated!

Image
Back in August 2017, I wrote an article making my predictions on Disney Plus (not named at the time).  If you want to see it again, you can here .  However, this post is to not only to update, but also show how I did with my predictions thus far.  Let's get started: 1. Disney will indeed pull their content out of Netflix No ifs ands or buts.  That will still happen.  Now I believe they are still there for the moment being, but once Disney+ goes on the air it's over/  No more Disney on Netflix. 2. Disney will NOT pull out of Hulu (sort of) When I first did the article, no one saw the merger with 20th Century Fox coming.  Not only does this makes the Disney library DANGEROUSLY bigger, it also gives more shareholding to Hulu.  Now will any Disney brands still be a part of it?  That begs a new question.  Right now, many of the Fox titles will be there including the matured rated series/movies.  I believe some of the shows wi...

Dragonball Z Home Video in North America

Individual DVD releases (1999-2005...

Why Kidsclick failed

Well, Kidsclick just announced that they are going off the air.  If you don't know who they are, they tried to bring back daily morning cartoons on over the air local networks.  Specifically the Sinclair Broadcasting networks.  The fact that they lasted this long is a miracle.  They tried with good intentions, but here is why it became a failure. 1.  This TV pulled out This TV was also for a time being airing this block, but when they dropped it, it pretty much became harder to find on other stations unless you knew where to look.  The other stations also began airing them at weird times like 5am or something like that. 2.  The Sinclair Controversy At the same time Kidsclick went on the air, news rang out about Sinclair Media running must run content pertaining to Right Wing policies such as the RACIST Terrorism Alert Desk.  Then in 2018, word came out about Sinclair forcing their anchors from all the local stations to read an "offi...
