History

Historical Context

Netflix introduced streaming in 2007 and, by July 2010, spent $117 million on the service and signed a five-year, nearly $1 billion film deal with Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM, proving streaming could rival traditional distribution. That early success led Disney to secure a 2012 streaming-rights agreement with Netflix and later develop its own Disney+ platform, under which Pixar’s 2026 “Hoppers” will debut.
