Hulu subscribers with an abiding affection for classic Disney movies have a lot to look forward to. The online streaming platform has just signed a deal with Disney, securing the rights to over 50 films from its back catalogue.
The exclusive licensing deal brings to Hulu a host of beloved animated and live-action family movies including The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mulan, Pocahontas, Hercules, Sister Act, and Air Bud. Other blockbusters, such as Con Air, Pearl Harbor, and Gone in 60 Seconds are also part of the package. The movies are available for streaming on Hulu now.
“The Disney brand is synonymous with beloved movies that the whole family can enjoy,” said Craig Erwich, Head of Content at Hulu. “Expanding our offering of top-rated kids and family programming has been a top priority for us, and we know viewers will love watching these films over and over again on our service.”
Disney owns a 30% stake in Hulu. Other partial owners include TimeWarner, Fox, and NBC Universal. The deal comes months after another exclusive deal to bring kid programming from Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD to the streaming destination.
On the other hand, you’ll have to go to Netflix to catch more recent Disney movies. The two companies signed an exclusive agreement in 2012 that will bring Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Pixar flicks to Netflix.
