Disney Movies Anywhere
was a website and mobile app that presented a fast and easy way to organize one's
Disney
movies digitally.
For the first time, users could connect their iTunes and Google Play accounts to the service, either by downloading the free app or by logging on to the website, and the system would organize all
Disney
,
Pixar
,
Marvel
, and
Lucasfilm
films that they purchased on iTunes as well as digital copies of films redeemed from Blu-ray/DVDs of movies.
The service was replaced by the
Movies Anywhere
service that launched on
October 12
,

Browse
Went though different categories to find a Disney movie you wanted to add to your film collection via the iTunes and Google Play Stores.
My Collection
This was where users stored the Disney films they had previously purchased via iTunes, Google Play and from digital copies of films from software (Blu-ray Discs and DVDs). There were two subsections to this section: the "Movies" section contained the Disney films you had in your collection, while the "Favorites" section highlighted movies and bonus features you personally selected with a red heart symbol.
Discoveries
Exclusive videos that took you deeper into the world of Disney, including animated shorts, "making of" footage, sneak peeks, and more.
Rewards
When you signed up for Disney Movies Anytime, it also connected to your Disney Movie Rewards account via your preexisting Disney.com account (if you didn't have one, sign up!). When you added a Disney movie to your collection, points would be added to your DMR account.
Replacement
On
October 10

, Disney Movies Anywhere was replaced by the Movies Anywhere service. The Movies Anywhere service serves the same function as Disney Movies Anywhere by providing a platform to store one's digital film library and connecting to other digital stores. However, this service also includes the digital film libraries of
20th Century Fox
, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros., and DreamWorks.
Disney Movies Anywhere currently only supports the ability for someone to play the movies already synced in their account prior to October 12, 2017. With the replacement of Disney Movies Anywhere, people can no longer obtain Disney Movie Rewards points from a digital purchase of a Disney film. This service shut down on
