A new app has been released today from Disney. It is called Disney Movies Anywhere. This app syncs with your iTunes account to collect all of your Disney, Pixar and Marvel movies in one place. Do you have a Blu-ray copy of a movie that came with a Digital Copy? If so, then that movie will appear in your library on Disney Movies Anywhere. Did you buy a copy of a digital movie, like say, Frozen when it came out today? That movie will also appear in your Disney Movies Anywhere app. What is nice is that you can access and download each of your Disney digital movies through the app quickly and easily. I downloaded the app and connected my Disney Movie Rewards account to my iTunes account and all of the digital movies that I have redeemed so far appeared on the app. Super simple, plus I got a free copy of The Incredibles to add to my collection. Here is a video that explains this a little better.
You can check out the service online, another place to watch your movies, or you can download the app.

“Disney Movies Anywhere offers an exceptional consumer experience built around some of the most beloved and popular entertainment brands in the world,” said Alan Bergman, President, The Walt Disney Studios. “This unique technology underscores Disney’s commitment to meeting our consumers where they are with the content they want, and we’re thrilled to debut with iTunes, the #1 digital media retailer in the world.”

In a seamless and family-friendly experience, Disney Movies Anywhere unlocks digital content across platforms and devices, enabling access to user-owned Disney digital content and movies in the Disney Movies Anywhere ecosystem and through iTunes.
With an easy-to-use interface, consumers can explore live-action and animated films from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel; watch exclusive content and bonus features; preview upcoming offerings; and more. Users can simply connect their iTunes account to their Disney Movies Anywhere account to begin populating their Disney digital movie locker and watch movies online and on their devices. Featuring simultaneous access on multiple devices, Disney Movies Anywhere enables consumers to stream and download Disney movies on their iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and Apple TV (through iCloud or using AirPlay). In addition, Disney Movies Anywhere functions as a streaming movie service when users log in to the website on their desktop or laptop computers (Mac or PC).
“Disney Movies Anywhere is an adaptable digital ecosystem designed to help consumers consolidate their Disney movie collections and enjoy them for years to come,” said Jamie Voris, Chief Technology Officer, The Walt Disney Studios. “The beauty of this technology is that it enables us to work with iTunes and future provider partners to ensure movie lovers have streamlined access to all of their favorite Disney titles no matter which device they are on.

Users can now redeemthese codes through Disney Movies Anywhere, and Digital Copy titles previously redeemed in Disney Movie Rewards or via iTunes will automatically be active in both Disney Movies Anywhere and iTunes once a user logs into Disney Movies Anywhere and connects their iTunes account. Additionally, for the first time, consumers can now earn Disney Movie Rewards points for their digital purchases through Disney Movies Anywhere going forward.
Disney Movies Anywhere’s functionality is built upon Disney’s proprietary digital rights locker, KeyChest.

Grr… I hate that Disney is in bed with Apple because I wish this was on Android as well.
Sorry Alli,
I have a few apps that are like this. I can’t get the Amazon Prime app on my Android device.
