When studios started to launch their very own streaming companies, one of many huge promoting factors was that they owned a lot of the content material that was being streamed. This meant that, not like Netflix, which has at all times seen a variety of month-to-month churn in the case of content material, platforms like Disney+ and Max ought to have the ability to put content material up, particularly authentic content material, and depart it there. As we’ve found, even among the many greatest streaming companies, this isn’t what occurs.
Disney+ and Max have each pulled authentic collection and films as cost-cutting measures. Evidently in some instances it prices the streamers extra to have sure issues obtainable than they assume they’re making from them. However now Disney+ has accomplished one thing very unusual. One of many platform’s authentic collection continues to be obtainable, simply not all of it.
Behind The Attraction’s First Episodes Are Gone From Disney+
Behind the Attraction, a Disney+ authentic collection that seemed on the tales behind the creation of a few of Disney Parks’ hottest sights, has seen its first three episodes, which cowl the Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, and Star Excursions, pulled from the platform. All the opposite episodes of Season 1, and all of Season 2 are nonetheless obtainable to view.
As a Disney Parks fan, that is irritating as a result of Behind the Attraction was a extremely enjoyable present. As CinemaBlend’s theme park skilled any individual who has learn and watched quite a bit in regards to the rides at Disneyland and Disney World, the present didn’t embody a lot info I didn’t already know. It’s not the deep dive that The Imagineering Story is. Thank God that collection continues to be untouched. However Behind the Attraction was entertaining and it was an excellent introduction for individuals who didn’t know every thing in regards to the sights however had been curious to be taught.
The truth that the episodes which have vanished cowl three of essentially the most iconic sights in Disney Parks’ historical past doesn’t assist. These are sights that persons are extra prone to wish to find out about. They’re the sights that may get individuals to present the present a strive within the first place, and hold watching in the event that they like what they see.
Why Solely Three Episodes?
The truth that any of Behind the Attraction is now gone and may’t be seen anyplace else is annoying, however the entire thing additionally has me extremely confused. Why are solely three episodes gone? The collection now begins with the Tower of Terror episode, which was one that truly had some controversy connected to it. If an episode was going to get pulled that is one you would at the very least perceive.
One would count on that Disney+ would both pull the collection in its entirety or depart it up, however solely eradicating sure episodes appears unusual. Contemplating how standard these three sights are I might totally count on they’re among the many most seen of all the collection. It’s arduous to consider they acquired pulled as a result of no one watched them.
It have to be some form of uncommon rights situation that solely pertains to those three episodes, however that additionally doesn’t make a variety of sense. The present was produced by Seven Bucks Productions, Dwayne Johnson’s firm. Johnson only recently signed a brand new growth cope with Disney. Something within the present needs to be owned by both Seven Bucks or Disney. Until there’s a selected individual interviewed in these episodes who doesn’t seem in every other, and for whom the present has someway misplaced the rights, this doesn’t make sense.
I’m hoping that is some form of technical glitch or non permanent measure till some uncommon situation is resolved. Dropping complete reveals on Disney+ is infuriating, particularly since there’s no different method to watch them, however shedding a part of a present is a brand new stage of frustration.
