Disney today has finally unveiled the launch day of its upcoming streaming service, Disney+. Taken place at its 2019 Investor Day, the service will be offering tons of contents which not only includes from Disney itself but also Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Fox.
Disney+ will be offering multiple exclusive and original titles to its service, across all of its hubs. This includes the Marvel’s What If…?, The Mandalorian, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, live-action version of Lady and the Tramp, and more.

There are also all 30 seasons of The Simpsons alongside several other family-friendly titles from Fox such as The Sound of Music, The Princess Bride and Malcolm in the Middle. These titles are part of more than 7,500 TV episodes and 400 movies to be made available on the service.
As expected, the service will be accessible via web browsers, smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, and game consoles. Deals have apparently been made to include Disney+ on Roku and a PlayStation 4 app is also in the works by Sony.
Disney has also revealed the interface of Disney+ for the first time to the public:
