Today, the news of Disney+ launching in Malaysia is finally coming true. As expected like our neighbour, Singapore, the name will be Disney+ Hotstar and will start streaming on 1 June 2021. Besides the huge library collection of Disney movies, Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there will be local contents as well such as J2 J Retribusi, Ejen Ali and more. 

After a long wait, it seems that Disney is finally making a move into the Malaysian market with Disney. It appears that several hours ago, the company set up a Facebook and Instagram page named Disneyplushotstarmy. For some reason, the Facebook page has been taken down except for the latter.

Since Disney Plus has yet to come to Malaysia, the company may end up launching a separate streaming service first. Disney has announced that it will be launching a new video streaming platform in 2021 and that it will be under the Star brand name. This platform is expected to feature general entertainment and will not have any licensed content.

Mulan has been in our to watch list since the premiere of the trailer and due to Covid-19, it has been going through few delays. Today, Disney finally announced the new releasing date which is on September 4 but the catchy part here is that it will be released on Disney+ with an additional  $29.99 on top of your subscription fee.

Not only do adults and teenagers need music in life, but kids also need them too. The largest music streaming company, Spotify, has now launched Spotify Kids in the US, Canada, and France to bring a library of songs that is curated just for kids. The standalone app doesn’t just come with kids’ favourite bops, it also features a colourful interface for them to interact with.

As previously reported, blockbuster movies are being delayed to a later date and our local cinema theatres are closed temporarily until further notice. If you have a gut feeling that other movies will be affected, you're right! In this latest news, Marvel's Black Widow, Spiral: From The Book of Saw, and many other movies have been pushed back.

When No Time To Die got delayed to November 2020, we had a bad feeling of other upcoming blockbuster movies will face the same consequences. Just a few hours ago, we got the news that fans of Fast and Furious 9, A Quiet Place 2, and Mulan will need to wait longer because the movies are being delayed due to the outbreak of coronavirus which is already declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

By now, some of you have already watched the short trailer teaser of Marvel TV series from the Super Bowl 2020. But these are not the only things that are coming on Disney+, but Disney have also confirmed that release dates for the shows as well as The Mandalorian Season 2.

The final season trailer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has recently been posted on Youtube, which gives us a small glimpse of what to expect. Based on the trailer, we know that the season will be available on Disney+ from 21 February 2020 onwards.

Every time before you dig in a film, a familiar sound and animation will start to play. Among all the famous movie company intros, the 20th Century Fox is definitely no stranger to you, and we bet you could even hum that legendary theme song. Now, the magnificent logo is getting a tweak as The Walt Disney Company has decided to stop using the word ‘Fox’ for two of their studios, which they acquired from Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox Corporation.
