Disney Plus UK has been around a while now and the now-established streaming service brings together Disney animated classics, Star Wars, Marvel, The Simpsons, Pixar and Muppets-related films and TV shows. It's found itself wanting a little in terms of new content but we were stunned to be able to stream the epic musical Hamilton as well as the live-action Mulan (available as a £19.99 add-on purchase, until it goes free for subscribers on December 4). Pixar's Soul, too, is the latest big surprise, which will add a dose of good, wholesome music when it lands on Christmas Day for all subscribers.
Both films are joined by a respectable number of new movies on Disney PLus UKW. That includes Frozen 2, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Call of the Wild, Onward, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Spies in Disguise, and charming kids adventure starring Bryan Cranston, The One and Only Ivan.
Gradually the library is getting better, but it's the originals you'll subscribe, and stay subscribed, for. First on the list of many is The Mandalorian season 2, which started on October 30, while the first Disney Plus original show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, WandaVision, arrives before the end of the year. Most of Disney Plus's 2020 TV shows have been family-oriented, but other new highlights include Star Wars animated series The Clone Wars and National Geographic astronaut adventure, The Right Stuff.
So Disney Plus's best days are still to come, then. More Marvel TV shows are coming in 2021, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Other MCU TV shows on the way include She-Hulk, Ms Marvel, Hawkeye, Loki and Moon Knight. On the Star Wars side, look forward to TV shows based around Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Cassian Andor character from Rogue One.
If you want to sign up to Disney Plus, check out the two tiers – monthly and yearly – below. The Disney Plus UK price is currently £5.99 per month, or £59.99 per year.

Disney Plus free trial: is there one?

Right now, Disney Plus costs £5.99 per month in the UK, or £59.99 for a whole year. Our advice is to pick the first tier and see if it's for you before committing.

Pixar's Soul on Disney Plus UK release date
Soul, the latest movie from animation powerhouse Pixar, is coming to Disney Plus UK on December 25. Unlike Mulan, it won't cost extra to stream it – and what a treat to get you through the drab winter months. It's about a music teacher, who's close to getting his big break playing with a jazz quartet, before he inadvertently steps into a realm of souls trying to find their way to Earth.
It sounds a bit out there, but Pixar's original movies tend to be a treat – and this one comes from Pete Docter, director of Up and Inside Out. Soul was originally meant for theatrical release, but now it's a Disney Plus exclusive.
The Mandalorian season 2 on Disney Plus: it's here
The Mandalorian is no doubt responsible for many Disney Plus UK subscriptions, and those that still have an active membership will be ecstatic now that season 2 has now started, with episodes arriving weekly until the finale on December 18. May the Force be with it.
Disney Plus UK now has Mulan for £19.99
You can watch the live-action Mulan right now on Disney Plus – it'll cost you £19.99, though, unless you're happy to wait until it goes free for subscribers on December 4. You don't own Mulan for that price, though, but nor is it a simple rental. After you've paid that £19.99, you can watch it as many times as you like, but only while you're still subscribed to Disney Plus. It'll stream in 4K with HDR.
This is just a one-off, though – don't expect Black Widow to follow suit.
Disney Plus: UK price and subscription tiers explained
Disney Plus costs £59.99 for an annual subscription, or £5.99 per month. These are the two available tiers, and you can cancel at any time. Unlike in the US, where it's bundled in with ESPN and Hulu, in the UK Disney Plus is a standalone service.
Either tier gets you four concurrent streams, unlimited downloads with a maximum of 10 devices and the option to create seven profiles.
In the US, you can gift a year of Disney Plus either digitally or in the form of physical cards, but no such option has been announced for the UK yet.
Disney Plus supports 4K and HDR streams
Disney Plus indeed supports 4K and HDR. When you're in the app, head over to the 'details' tab of a given movie or show and you'll see a section that says 'available in the following formats', which will explain if the content in question features 4K Ultra HD and HDR.
You now have every Star Wars and Marvel movie to watch in 4K with HDR. Enjoy!
Disney Plus UK: compatible devices and apps
Disney Plus has launched on pretty much any device you can name in the UK, including mobile devices, games consoles, streaming media devices and smart TVs. You can take Disney Plus shows on the go, too, downloading as many movies and shows as you can fit on your device, as long as you have an active subscription and connect to the internet every 30 days.
Disney Plus UK has launched on LG TVs, Sky Q, Apple TV, Roku streaming devices, Android (5.0 and later), iOS (11.0 and later), PS4, Xbox One, LG WebOS smart TVs, Samsung Tizen smart TVs, Google Chromecast, Now TV, and Amazon's Fire range of streaming devices.
One notable exception is the Nintendo Switch, which is still pretty poor at supporting streaming services.
Phillips' Android-based smart TVs support Disney Plus too. Your Samsung TV may be able to get Disney Plus, as well. Read our guide and discover if your TV can support it.

Disney Plus app links: how to download Disney Plus
You should be able to search for and download Disney Plus on the device of your choice, but here are some app links if you're having a bit of trouble. Disney Plus is available in web browsers, on Smart TVs, through Amazon devices, iOS, Android, PS4, Xbox One, Roku and almost anything else you can name (except Nintendo Switch).
Disney Plus: future shows and movies
In the future, Disney Plus is getting plenty of big exclusive shows. From the Marvel Cinematic Universe side of things, new shows include The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TBA), WandaVision (December 2020), Loki (2021), Hawkeye (2021) and animated show What If...?. The first two shows were meant to arrive in 2020, but now just WandaVision is confirmed for 2020, with the Captain America spin-off series coming in 2021.
Further off, expect TV shows based on Moon Knight, Ms Marvel and She-Hulk out of the Marvel stable. Unlike Marvel's Netflix shows, too, these will canonically be part of the MCU, and feature actors crossing over between the movies and these TV series.
After The Mandalorian season 2, Lucasfilm is making shows featuring Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Diego Luna's Cassian Andor from Rogue One. A new animated series called The Bad Batch is also coming, a spin-off of The Clone Wars.
Disney is also making a new TV series based on the Mighty Ducks franchise.
Disney Plus is on Sky Q and Now TV
Disney Plus made a deal with Sky to host Disney Plus on its Sky Q platform at launch. That means you can watch Disney Plus as well as your other Sky content – it'll just be added to your Sky bill. According to Pocket Lint, full integration into the Sky Q platform won't come until April, but you can watch Disney Plus through an app on your Sky Q box.
Disney Plus is also available on Now TV devices.
