Internet TV Service Netflix to Deliver Top Disney Shows
Leading Internet television network company Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) and The Disney / ABC Television Group (NYSE: DIS) announced Thursday a new multi-year licensing agreement.
It will make Netflix the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for one of the most popular shows on Disney Junior, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, as well as fan favorite Disney XD show Tron: Uprising.
In addition, Handy Manny, Special Agent Oso and JoJo’s Circus will also be available for members in the U.S. to watch instantly later this month.
Disney Junior’s Annie Award-winning series, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, is a music-filled interactive treasure hunt that introduces a crew of kid pirates — leader Jake and pals Izzy and Cubby — and follows their Never Land adventures as they work to outwit two infamous characters, the one and only Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, from Disney’s classic Peter Pan.

Like all Disney Junior programming, Jake and the Never Land Pirates is guided by an established curriculum that nurtures multiple areas of child development: physical, emotional, social and cognitive; thinking and creative skills, as well as moral and ethical development.
Always commercial free, the content in the kids section of Netflix is curated in conjunction with ratings and reviews from Common Sense Media, a leading non-profit organization that provides independent ratings, reviews and information to help parents make media choices.
In addition to character-based selections, the service displays rows of TV shows and movies organized by easy-to-understand genres such as superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs and girl power. The Netflix technology provides each member with a personalized experience based on preferences and favorites.
