But the classic <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Donald Duck (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OvmEj6\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Duck<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Goofy (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2qB32lI\" target=\"_blank\">Goofy<\/a> cartoons I had wanted to see were not online yet. And the $6.99 monthly subscription fee mentioned online was incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monthly fee in Canada is actually $8.99, with an option to prepay for a year at $89.99, which reduces the monthly fee down to $7.50. And although I think the later is great for families, I\u2019m personally going to wait for more content to be added before committing to this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents that like to keep their kids entertained whilst travelling will love the streaming or download and go options. And the service is also great for parents that have young kids, that can\u2019t handle and load films into their DVD and Blu-ray players. But I already own quite a few of the films featured on this service on DVD, Blu-ray and digital so there is no real incentive for me to subscribe yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mandalorian\u2019s first season is comprised of eight episodes, that I can easily binge watch prior to the release of the second season, which is already being filmed. And I could always purchase the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2D5BpE7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"latest Spider-Man film (opens in a new tab)\">latest Spider-Man film<\/a> during the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XMikAp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Black Friday (opens in a new tab)\">Black Friday<\/a> and Cyber Monday events, pretty much completing my Marvel Cinematic Universe collection (minus a few mediocre films in the series).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regards to The Simpsons, I can also view the first 19 seasons in the original 4 by 3 aspect ratio on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Apple TV (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/ca\/tv-season\/the-simpsons-season-1\/id404935902?mt=4&amp;at=11lmXh\" target=\"_blank\">Apple TV<\/a>\/<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"iTunes (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/ca\/tv-season\/the-simpsons-season-1\/id404935902?mt=4&amp;at=11lmXh\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>, Google Play and in reruns on television, so I am not missing much there either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of the aforementioned <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2rg8WbQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Donald Duck (opens in a new tab)\">Donald Duck<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2qB32lI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Goofy (opens in a new tab)\">Goofy<\/a> cartoons to Disney+ will probably lure me back, as will the expansion of the 20th Century Fox Pictures, Fox Broadcasting Company and Touchtone Pictures catalogues to the service. But I suspect this will not happen until next summer, hopefully after they correct their playback and security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently some users had encountered technical issues and several thousand accounts have been hacked resulting in their details being posted online. But it was smooth sailing on my end via my <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34bhxLt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Roku Premiere+ (opens in a new tab)\">Roku Premiere+<\/a>, other than an issue with the playback language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some reason, it decided to play Star Wars &#8211; Episode IV in French, when all the other films played back in English. And although I managed to change the audio to English, I couldn\u2019t figure out how to change the opening crawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure this minor glitch will be repaired by the time I decide to go back. And overall I\u2019d say the Canadian version is an acceptable service for most.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-1702705-10432175\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tqlkg.com\/image-1702705-10432175\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" alt=\"Free Shipping on Orders Over $25!\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I have previously stated on this blog, Disney+ features 500 films and over 7500 television programs from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, National Geographic and other companies Disney distributes, many of which will be made available on the service in the future.
