As Disney adapts to cord-cutting and mobile-device trends, it is smart to maximise the worth of its content through its own streaming services – especially given its blockbuster films due in 2019, including Star Wars: Episode IX, a new Avengers film, Frozen 2, Toy Story 4″and a live-action adaptation of Lion King.
