According to a statement from the company, 'Panasonic recognises the importance of supporting popular video on demand services and we are continuously working to provide native support on our televisions where possible.'

So, while it's not available now, it may become available in the near future.

Don't worry though: If that's the TV you have, or you don't have a smart TV at all, you have other options.

How to get Disney Plus on your Chromecast built-in smart TV

If you have a smart TV that doesn't list Disney Plus in its app store, you may still be able to cast what you're watching to your TV from your phone. Many smart TVs have Chromecast built-in, meaning you can cast content onto your TV without having the Chromecast plug-in device.

1. Tap the cast icon in the top right corner of the Disney Plus app on your mobile device. If it's possible to cast Disney Plus to your TV, it will appear on the list of casting options.

If you don't have a smart TV, you can essentially turn yours into a smart TV using a streaming device that will plug into your TV's HDMI port.

If you choose the Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku device, you'll be able to get Disney Plus from your app store in a similar way to the methods listed above for smart TVs.

If you choose a Google Chromecast plug-in device, you'll be able to cast to your TV using the same method described for Chromecast built-in TVs — the only difference is that you need to plug the Chromecast device into your TV's HDMI port if your TV doesn't have it built in. You can Chromecast from any device, such as your iPhone, iPad, Mac computer, Android, or any Google Chrome web browser.

If all else fails, you can plug an HDMI cable into your TV, connect it to your laptop, and play your videos from the Disney Plus web browser.

So, no matter what kind of TV you have, you should be able to find a way to watch Disney Plus on it, as long as you have a working HDMI port available.

Disney+ is the latest mainstream streaming platform. Released by the Walt Disney Company to US consumers last November, the platform is due to launch in the UK and Europe this March. An estimated $2.6 billion was poured into this direct-to-consumer streaming service and the results are impressive. Disney has teamed up with Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic, and Star Wars to bring some never-before seen footage to your screen. Is it time to end your Netflix subscription?

Disney+ brings you family favorites, all-time classics and brand new titles

4K streaming and offline downloads

Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ – move aside, Disney+ is in town. This latest video streaming platform has not marginalized its competitors, but it offers an impressive package. Disney+ is much more than Disney. Partners including Pixar, Marvel, and National Geographic have joined forces to create a varied library of content, offering everything from children’s shorts to feature-length adult documentaries.

Like Netflix, Disney+ offers offline downloads, 4K streaming, and personalized playlists. You can also filter content to be age appropriate for young viewers. Stream your movies on-the-go or download your favorite content to watch offline.

The sheer volume of content in the package is staggering. Disney+ owns the rights to 21st Century Fox and has years of franchises under its belt. Do you remember Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Who Framed Rodger Rabbit? Old-school classics are right up there with the latest Disney series like Phineas and Ferb, That’s So Raven and new episodes of High School Musical.

For all its star-studded library however Disney+ is still missing some big titles from its own franchise. Enchanted the pre-Frozen princess classic, The Bridge to Terabithia and Futurama are just a few notable exceptions. Also, signing up to the Disney+ subscription does not mean you get to cut the line to the latest Disney offerings. New movies like the recently released The Lion King remake and Toy Story 4 are not (yet) available on the platform.

There is also a mobile version for Android and iOS smartphones. Devices like the Chromecast and Fire TV are compatible. You can also stream Disney+ through your Sony Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

Is there a better alternative?

Disney+ versus Netflix, Amazon or Apple TV+ - this is the ultimate question in streaming right now. As content goes, Disney+ has launched with a bang and will only continue to improve. An impressive 1000+ titles and counting, and new releases only to be accessed through the subscription.

The subscription rates are competitive and there are special offers as Disney+ launches around the world. Also, you can bundle your package with ESPN+ and Hulu for an all-in-one deal.

Our take

Disney+ is impressive – but not perfect. It has neither the cutting-edge original content released by Netflix and HBO (think Stranger Things and Game of Thrones). The app version still has many improvements to make in speed and usability before it can compete with the Netflix and Amazon Prime Video apps.

Should you download it?

If you are a huge fan of Disney or the content it has rights to (Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic) then Disney+ would be a smart move. For a more rounded experience however, don’t download it just yet and stick with Netflix.
