iflix, the leading subscription video on demand (SVoD) service for emerging markets, has announced the launch of a Channels feature, which will provide audiences access to some of The Walt Disney Company’s popular, award-winning content.
Users will be able to access many of Disney’s biggest films, featured in an app and at iflix.com, in their own branded channels.
The movies include Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, “Thor: The Dark World” and “Iron Man 3”; Disney-Pixar’s “Monsters Inc”, “Monsters University”, “Up” and “Wall-E”; and Disney’s “Frozen”, “Wreck-It Ralph”, “Cars”, “Lilo & Stitch”, “The Jungle Book” and “Cinderella”.
Users will be offered an exceptional viewing experience with all new titles available to stream in HD format with upgraded audio on the user’s personalised iflix homepage, the partners said.
Additional titles coming to the service from January next year include “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, Marvel blockbuster hits including “Captain America: Civil War” and “Ant-Man”, Disney’s “Zootopia” and “Tangled”, and Disney-Pixar animation favourites like “Finding Dory”, “Finding Nemo”, “Inside Out”, “Good Dinosaur” and “The Incredibles!”
Disney will also make many of its most iconic children’s content available for young viewers and families to enjoy.
