Forbes:

Netflix changed how we watch TV, but it didn't really change what we watch...

Netflix has achieved its incredible growth by taking distribution away from cable companies. Instead of watching The Office on cable, people now watch The Office on Netflix.

This edge isn't sustainable.
...
Disney's cable business has stagnated over the past seven years. But in about 175 days, Disney is set to launch its own streaming service called Disney+.

It's going to charge $6.99/month—around $6 cheaper than Netflix.

And it's pulling all its content off of Netflix.

This is a big deal.

No more Bunk'd on Netflix? Nooooooooooooooo...

    Song and dance ... ok, that rules out a lot. How about dogs and ponies?

    Okay, I've got the dogs: List of Disney Dog Movies [disneymovieslist.com]

    Here's a pony movie: Ride a Wild Pony [imdb.com]

    There's not as much to go on with pony movies, for several reasons. First, ponies don't often get the title role, with horses usually anchoring equestrian movies. Second, My Little Pony takes up a lot of that segment of the market, and it isn't Disney. Third, an increasingly urban population doesn't relate with ponies as much as they did in the 70's (for example).
