Among the eclectic collection of content are favourites like Peter Pan, Aladdin, The Jungle Book and Lady and the Tramp. There are also new children’s classics like Frozen, Encanto, and Inside Out.

Disney Plus also has loads of more adult shows and films like the new Japanese series, Shōgun, the Star Wars and Marvel universes, and plenty more.

Can I get Disney Plus on my Virgin Media box?

Yes, if you’re a Virgin Media customer with a Stream Box or Virgin TV 360 you can get Disney Plus direct to your TV through the box.

You first have to have a Disney Plus account, and subscriptions are set at a range of prices.

The Standard with Ads plan will cost £4.99 a month, and gives you access to 1080p Disney content to stream across two devices simultaneously.

However, you can’t stream the ads tier on your Virgin Media box. Instead, you’ll have to sign up for the Standard plan, which costs £7.99 a month. The Standard plan has no adverts, and you can download content to watch offline on two devices.

If you want to go all out, then the Premium plan could be the one for you. For £10.99 a month, you can enjoy ultra-high definition (4K HDR) ad-free content streamed and downloaded across four devices.
