Netflix adds Disney Junior and Disney XD shows
Netflix has reached an agreement with the Disney/ABC Television group to become the only subscription streaming service to offer the popular children’s shows “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” and the animated “Tron: Uprising.”
The multiyear licensing deal also brings “Handy Manny,” “Special Agent Oso” and “JoJo’s Circus” to the movie and television service on a non-exclusive basis.
The announcement follows a high-profile agreement last December, in which Netflix won exclusive pay TV rights to Walt Disney Studio films -- including its Marvel’s superhero pictures, Pixar‘s animated fare and Lucasfilm‘s “Star Wars.”
