Most Disney+ subscribers watch classic Disney movies more than anything else

A new survey reveals what people are watching the most on Disney+, and it looks like subscribers are choosing Disney classics like Marry Poppins and 101 Dalmatians over new content like The Mandalorian. 

According to the Hollywood Reporter Morning Consult Poll, 22% of Disney+ subscribers are choosing to watch Disney vault classic movies the most. This is followed by Star Wars at 21%, Marvel at 15%, and Pixar movies at 14%. The poll sourced 496 self-identified Disney+ subscribers from December 3-4.

Numbers also showed that Disney+ subscribers watch Pixar movies like Toy Story or Monsters Inc. the most frequently, at 38%. Subscribers also regularly watch Disney classics (37%), Star Wars (33%), and Marvel movies (32%).

What seems to be watched the least out of all the categories is Disney+ original content, which includes shows like Encore! and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, as well as movies like Noelle and Lady and the Tramp. 

Another surprising result from the survey was that 37% of people said that they never watch The Simpsons on the streaming platform. 

The survey also broke it down by age groups, revealing that Boomers and Gen Xers mostly watch Star Wars, millennials are more likely to choose Disney classics, and Gen Zers are most like to watch Disney Channel originals like Lizzie McGuire. 

The streaming service has only been out for a little over a month, but has already become one of the biggest things to happen in 2019. 

According to Apptopia, an app-tracking company, Disney+’s mobile app has already been downloaded onto mobile devices 22 million times, averaging about 9.5 million daily users. The Disney+ app is also in the top spot for both Apple and Google app stores. 

Since Apptopia only counts mobile downloads, that 22 million figure is most likely even higher when you factor in those who have downloaded Disney+ on their smart TVs, desktops, or streaming devices. 

Google also recently revealed that Disney+ was the most searched term on Google in the U.S. in 2019, beating out the iPhone 11 and Game of Thrones.

It’s no surprise that the streaming service dominated the year, with big names such as The Mandalorian and Avengers: Endgame being front and center on the app. The streaming service debuted at $7 a month with an extensive list of over 600 movies and TV shows.

Disney co-chairman reveals why The Acolyte was canceled after one season

Lucasfilm may be in the midst of experiencing a wave of positive attention and success thanks to its latest TV series, Skeleton Crew, but the Jude Law-starring sci-fi show isn't the only Star Wars title that has premiered on Disney+ this year. This past summer, Lucasfilm also debuted The Acolyte, a Sith-centric show set around 100 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Across its eight episodes, the series proved to be critically divisive, and it was only a month after The Acolyte's finale aired that Disney and Lucasfilm announced they would not be bringing the show back for a second season.

In a recent interview with Vulture, Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman shed some light on the behind-the-scenes decision to cancel The Acolyte after just one season. "As it relates to Acolyte, we were happy with our performance, but it wasn’t where we needed it to be given the cost structure of that title, quite frankly, to go and make a season 2," Bergman revealed. "That’s the reason why we didn’t do that."

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was originally supposed to be a movie

Lucasfilm is on the verge of debuting its second live-action Star Wars series of the year, Skeleton Crew. Set after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi, the show follows a group of adventure-seeking kids who end up stranded in space with a starship of unknown origin and are joined on their journey home by a mysterious, potentially untrustworthy adult Force-user (Jude Law). The new series comes from the minds of Christopher Ford and Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts, and it has the potential to be the Disney+ hit that Lucasfilm has been in desperate need of over the past two years.

As well-suited as it may seem for the studio's Disney+ model, though, Skeleton Crew was originally pitched to Lucasfilm years ago as a movie, Watts recently revealed. "I pitched it right after the first Spider-Man [Homecoming] movie. It was initially pitched to Lucasfilm as a film, and then I had to go make two Spider-Man movies, because the first one did all right," the filmmaker told TVLine. "Over time, [Jon] Favreau made The Mandalorian and Disney+ came into existence, so it evolved, as the Spider-Man movies were being made, into a show."
