Disney+ is a long way to compete with netflix at this moment. And someone seem to said Disney+ here does not even have the full content of Disney+ in USA.

But I want to watch Alias

No need to worry about future price. They can change it anytime anyway. Like last time TVB Anywhere market itself as RM5 per month, then suddenly changed to RM39.95 per month.

Sounds like iFlix during its early days. I am surprised HotStar launched this service in Indonesia earlier though, expecting Indonesians to read subtitles in Tamil? It should not be difficult for them to employ some cheap kuli to code English subtitles, and HotStar has been around in India for many years. They called it the Netflix for India.

"Hotstar (stylized as hotstar) is an Indian subscription video on-demand streaming service operated by Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, a division of The Walt Disney Company. This service was launched and owned by Star India for a streaming service carrying content from 21st Century Fox and its local networks, including films, television series, live sports, and original programming, as well as content from third-party content licensed from third-parties such as HBO, Showtime and Sony Pictures. Amid the significant growth of mobile broadband in India, Hotstar quickly became the dominant streaming service in the country.

Following the acquisition of Star India's parent company 21st Century Fox by Disney in 2019, Disney added the content library of its new international streaming brand Disney+ to Hotstar in April 2020, including Disney+ original programming, and films and television series from its main content brands of Walt Disney Studios, Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, National Geographic, and Pixar. The resulting service was co-branded as Disney+ Hotstar.

Hotstar also operates in Canada, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These services target overseas Indians, and focus primarily on Star India's domestic entertainment and sports content (Disney+ operates as a standalone service in these markets). Hotstar has also extended the Disney+-integrated version of its service into other markets such as Indonesia, and Malaysia and plans to launch the service in the Philippines, and Thailand in 2021."


To think that they cannot even provide proper subtitles, while currently owned by Disney. I think some senior management is sleeping.

Singapore > Malaysia since 1990s. Amazon ships some stuffs to Singapore not Malaysia, even though it is just next to it. Many services are available in Singapore but not Malaysia. Biasa lah. This kind of treatments from western countries.

So answer is Shopee.

Market size is not truly the issue. Korea is doing pretty well nowadays. It depends on how you want to market it and how much the government wants to control it.

Is the cartoon library dubbed in Malay or in English?

My worry now is the dub. not so much of the content.

I always watch with original audio. Dub just feel wrong.
