Disney+ review – this £5.99 magical Netflix rival is the best-value streaming app out there
DISNEY+ is out, and is already a smash-hit with more than 50million subscribers.
I've spent two weeks using it, and I'll gladly call it the best value streaming service out there. Look out, Netflix.

Disney+ review verdict – should I buy it?
It should come as no surprise that Disney+ is absolutely magical.
The selection of content is so vast, familiar and entertaining that it's hard to imagine ever running out of things to watch.
And even if I did, that's no problem – Disney+ is chock full of stuff you adore re-watching over and over too.
I've fallen in love with Jeff Goldblum's incredibly documentary series on...stuff. Just stuff: trainers, swimming pools, coffee.
It's a silky smooth distraction from a troubled world.
Disney also offers up plenty of in-house documentaries, detailing the creation of Disneyland and the lives of the people who work at the company.
And as a geek, I adore re-watching Marvel and Star Wars classics.
Needless to say, the roster will grow and become even better over time.
The app itself is also slick and easy to navigate.
Profiles are simple to set up, franchise blocks at the top make it fast to find the content you want, and Disney's own curated topics offer plenty of inspiration for your next viewing.
But the biggest victory is the price point.
At £5.99, this is vastly better value than almost anything else out there.
An equivalent 4K Netflix plan costs around double that – and I'm not entirely convinced the content justifies that price gap.
Disney has knocked it out of the park. This is fun for all the family, and you should sign up as soon as you get the chance.
The Sun says: Disney+ just might be the best value streaming service on the planet – and it's only going to get better. ★★★★★
