Disney On Demand

Disney On Demand (Later went on to be called "Disney Anywhere" on October 1st 2011) was a mobile app and website where you could rent, buy and watch certain Disney titles. It also included a feature to scan your Disney DVDs to watch them in the app without needing to rebuy it on there. It launched on March 30th 2009 and the website shutdown on July 29th 2016 while the app was delisted on August 5th 2016 however the app still worked until January 1st 2018 when the app would no longer work and it's official close would be announced in-app starting December 10th 2017. The app could be redownloaded on all future Android devices and iPhone devices up until Android 10 and iPhone 11 respectively. Despite being delisted the app and UK version of the website (disneyanywhere.co.uk) actually remained in operation up until March 1st 2019 when it was shadow-delisted on the app store and google play store while the website closed down on March 20th 2019, due to this some movies would be rentable on the website that wasn't in other countries as it closed down long before that everywhere else.
== History ==
In October 2008 Disney announced their brand new app set for a Summer 2009 release "Disney On Demand" it was set to launch on the App Store for the iPhone 3G and future iPhone devices. In January 2009 it was both announced that the app had changed release to March 2009 rather than Summer 2009 and that it would no longer be a iPhone exlcusive app but also release on the HTC Dream and on PC through a website. It officially came out on March 30th 2009 on iPhone and PC with the Android version coming out later on April 6th 2009. The app and website were operation fine and well with the exception of a name change on October 1st 2011 to Disney Anywhere, until July 1st 2016 when Disney announces the website is closing down on July 29th 2016 with the app being announced to follow a week after although it was mentioned that the app would remain fully functional although only already bought movies and scanned dvds would work. On December 10th 2017 the Disney Anywhere app recieved a strange update, it remained delisted but when opened it would now display a pop-up that said the following "As the new year begins, you will no longer be able to use the Disney Anywhere app. We have decided it is time to move forward and Disney Anywhere will not be part of that. Many of the movies and shows is available on other places like Youtube Movies and Netflix however if you want a last chance to use the app you have 21 days to do so although DVD scanning will be phased out starting December 17th 2017. Hope you understand, Bob Iger". Apperantally the people who kept updating the app every now and then to work on new hardware wasn't even informed of this. They had been told 2 months prior that the app would remain accesible for a long time going forward so when this was found employees were shocked. The story started trending on Twitter although since the app was long since delisted it did not reach a download peak. People speculate the app was made non-usable due to Disney+ which was in development at the time and launched in 2019.

The first 2 seasons both came out on November 30th 2010 alongside their DVD/Blu-Ray releases, Season 3 dropped on July 8th 2014 and season 4 on February 7th 2016. When asked back in April 2016 Disney said Season 5 and 6 would be available on the service in Summer 2017 however the app was delisted before this could happend, it's most likely that the website shutdown and app was delisted was not planned to happend until shortly before it actually happend since there was many plans for the service as seen with how one of the final rentable movies was The Good Dinosaur and Zootopia both on July 1st 2016 however it has been stated later on that Disney had a rentable list for Disney Anywhere that they had to follow and those adding the movies didn't know about the shutdown until 3 DAYS before it shutdown. Despite only the first 4 seasons being available in most countries in the UK where Disney Anytime fully closed down on March 20th 2019 the 5th, 6th and 7th seasons were also available. The 5th on January 31st 2016 alongside the original shows 7th season while season 6 became available on May 1st 2017 and the 7th season on January 3rd 2019. The 8th and final season finished airing too late to come out on Disney Anytime in the UK although the first 7 episodes were available through the DVD scanning of "Disney's Sonic The Hedgehog: Back in Action Season 8 Volume 1" however if you somehow got your hands on the second volume (which came out on March 25th 2019) early through Amazon as they accidentally shipped it out early on February 17th 2019 rather than March 25th 2019 you could scan that one aswell as it had been coded into the app and website to work before it suddenly closed down for iPhone and Android on March 1st 2019 and on March 20th 2019 for PC. Despite delistment in the UK the app still worked and was updated until January 1st 2022. It even updated the DVD/Blu-Ray scanning to work with newer DVDs and Blu-Rays although those were never made rentable.
