I basically got Disney Plus for one month at $6.99 to see the filmed on-stage production of "Hamilton" though I saw the touring company when it was here and wasn't 'thrilled' by it. The film didn't increase my enthusiasm but the touring company is scheduled to come back in the 2020-2021 season so it will have one more chance if the theatres are back in business!
In addition, I watched "Bambi" and was really glad I did because I felt like a 6-year-old again. Having experienced a good time with that I decided to try a few more from "Dumbo", which was very disappointing, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and sang along with the dwarfs about whistling while they worked but right after Bambi "The Lady and the Tramp" was the second big hit. The scene of the Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti will always rate high in love scenes on the movie screen! Just hearing Peggy Lee's singing is a treat.
I think that's it for Disney Plus and I back to Netflix and Prime Video but Bambi and The Lady and the Tramp were definitely worth $6.99.

We got it the other day too just to watch Hamilton 
- I absolutely loved it. Considering we would probably not be able to go to see any musical in a theater for a long time . . . we'll take it for the mere 7 bucks. Love the Disney classics, though we haven't watched them on Disney Plus yet . . . we've gotten into the Star Wars series - The Mandalorian.

@FayeHazel He shows up every now and then--he is so dull he doesn't have much to say!!!
Don't tell him I said so but he is one of the good guys--he has Internet problems off and on.

@CarolDM They were made in a different time, a different era and I guess watching them brings back that feeling!

Like most kids I loved Disney's animation movies but my favorites from then that lived up today were Bambi and The Lady & The Tramp--I felt like a kid watching both!

Not yet available in the Philippines but it's coming soon to Southeast Asia which includes Philippines. This is certain because they just published job openings for Singapore, which means that Disney Plus will be based in Singapore and will be made available to the whole of Southeast Asia very soon.

And I pay half that for Netflix, Amazon Pride for each month plus a one time payout for an indoor antenna---that's why so many people have cut out cable!!

@GreatMartin It was an emotional movie, the old Disney movies were so much better.

I was surprised to how I reacted to Bambi after not seeing it for so many years!
