Disney Movies Anywhere Launches with iTunes
February 28, in the year of our Lord 2014 --
Disney had an interesting story come in after business hours
yesterday. It relates to their movies and iTunes. Here it is:
"Planning to snap up this winter’s hit film Frozen as it becomes
available on Digital HD today? Head over to the iTunes app store
and add another download to your queue, because Disney Movies
Anywhere—Disney’s all-new digital movie service and app—is here,
and it’s free!
Debuting with iTunes as its exclusive launch provider, Disney
Movies Anywhere is a simple, streamlined way to manage and enjoy
your digital collection of Disney, Pixar and Marvel movies on
multiple devices. Plus, for a limited time, you’ll receive a
free digital copy of Disney•Pixar’s The Incredibles when you
sign up and connect your iTunes account.
Why will this make your life easier? It collects all your
eligible Disney digital entitlements—whether you redeemed them
from a Digital Copy code or purchased them in iTunes—so you can
have access to them on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple
TV, as well as on your personal computer (Mac and Windows
machines).
Here’s how it works:
Download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app on your iPhone,
iPad or iPod touch (iOS 7 or higher). You can also sign up
through DisneyMoviesAnywhere.com. Create an account—in some
cases you can use your existing Disney website credentials such
as Disney Infinity, Disney Movie Rewards or ESPN—to log in and
get started. (Right now, Disney Movies Anywhere is only
available in the U.S. and account holders must be at least 13
years of age.)
Immediately, any Disney Digital Copy codes you’ve previously
registered with a Disney Movies Rewards account will show up in
your new Disney digital movie locker through Disney Movies
Anywhere.
Follow the simple steps to connect your iTunes account to your
Disney Movies Anywhere account, and eligible titles you
previously purchased from iTunes or redeemed in iTunes with a
Digital Copy code will be accessible in both your Disney Movies
Anywhere locker and your iTunes account. This is also how you
get your free digital copy of The Incredibles—by connecting your
iTunes account.
Do you have any previously unredeemed Disney, Pixar or Marvel
Digital Copy codes floating around in the DVD or Blu-ray cases
on your shelf? You can register eligible codes in Disney Movies
Anywhere to expand your digital collection—you’ll also earn
Disney Movies Rewards for these and for any digital purchases
made through iTunes going forward.
Commence downloading, streaming, browsing and buying! You can
download a movie to up to eight devices at a time, and you can
stream simultaneously on two. You can also explore exclusive
original content in the Disney Movies Anywhere app or website.
Disney Movies Anywhere works on a flexible Disney technology,
called KeyChest, that lets Disney Movies Anywhere work with a
variety of digital providers and devices as they are added to
the Disney Movies Anywhere program.
