What’s new on Disney Plus this March: Black Panther, Stargirl, and more

Disney Plus is due to expand to more countries later this March. In the meantime, the streaming service is staying busy. It will add new episodes of its currently running original series, including Star Wars: …

That’s about three months ahead of what Disney was expected to do with this highly popular 2019 sequel to the hit animated musical. Indeed, it just came out on digital store platforms February 11, and on DVD and Blu-Ray February 25. In a press release announcing the surprise move to place Frozen 2 on Disney Plus this early, the recently installed Disney CEO Bob Chapek stated that the movie had “captivated audiences around the world through its powerful themes of perseverance and the importance of family, messages that are incredibly relevant during this time . . . ”

The word “coronavirus” was not mentioned in the press release. However, it seems pretty clear that the company wanted to give Disney Plus subscribers some extra cheer during this difficult time. It’s likely that Disney will leave millions of dollars of digital, DVD and Blu-Ray revenue from the movie on the table by posting Frozen 2 this early on their recently launched streaming service.

When can I watch Frozen 2 on Disney Plus?

Frozen 2 on Disney Plus will first be available in HD in the US on March 15. It will be added to subscribers in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand on Tuesday, March 17. That’s also the day where the UHD version of the movie will be available to stream.

What do you think of this move by Disney to put Frozen 2 on Disney Plus? What’s your favorite song from this sequel?

Apple Closes All Retail Stores in Spain Due to Coronavirus

Apple has closed all 11 of its retail stores located in Spain as the coronavirus continues to spread in the country. Spain earlier today declared a state of emergency.


In a message posted on all of its store websites in Spain, Apple says that health precautions have forced the closure of its retail locations, with no word on when the stores will reopen.
Due to current health precautions, this store will remained closed until further notice. If you need online support, visit getsupport.apple.com. Apologies for the inconvenience.
There are 4,200 people infected with coronavirus in Spain, and 120 people have died. Spain has the second highest number of coronavirus cases in Europe after Italy, where Apple has also closed all of its retail locations.

Apple Stores in the United States remain open, though in some areas with restrictions on store openings, stores have closed. Apple Willow Grove Park in Pennsylvania, for example, is no longer open after the governor ordered mass closings of schools, gyms, entertainment venues, and more in Montgomery County in an effort to contain the coronavirus outbreak in the area.

In the coming days, there's a chance that additional stores in the United States could close, but at the current time, Apple employees are doing frequent cleanings and Apple has implemented measures to increase the amount of space between customers to mitigate the spread of the infection.

Thanks, Sam!

I am grateful for Bill's friendship and look forward to continuing to work alongside him to realize our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more."
