Iflix launches Channels feature, offers Disney content

Subscription video on demand (SVoD) service Iflix has launched a Channels feature, which will provide audiences with access The Walt Disney Company’s content.

All titles will be available to stream in HD format with upgraded audio on the user’s personalised Iflix homepage. Additional titles coming to the service from January 2018 include “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, Marvel blockbuster hits including “Captain America: Civil War” and “Ant-Man”, Disney’s “Zootopia” and “Tangled”, and Disney-Pixar animation favourites like “Finding Dory”, “Finding Nemo”, “Inside Out”, “Good Dinosaur” and “The Incredibles!”.
