Hulu Picks Up a Boatload of Disney Movies in New Deal

Published on 12/27/16 by Craig Smith

It was announced today that video-streaming service Hulu will be the exclusive home to over 50 classic Disney movies. According to deadline.com, movies like Pocahontas, Mulan and Lilo & Stitch will be available exclusively from Hulu, a service which Disney owns 30% stake in (with NBC Universal and 21st Century Fox).

Hulu already had a number of Disney Channel and Disney Junior shows available for streaming. A full listing of the Disney Junior shows available on Hulu can be found here.

You’ll also recall that it was announced last month that Hulu and Disney reached an agreement to bring live Disney, ABC and ESPN content to Hulu’s new “skinny bundle” live-TV product.
