LOVEFiLM

You can now stream The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on the LOVEFiLM Player, as part of a normal subscription package – ie at no extra cost – and, from May 1, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (that’s the first one) as well.

We’ve struck a deal with Disney to make some of their live-action films available to watch instantly on the PC, via internet-connected TVs, and on the PlayStation®3.

So, just in time for the Easter holidays, you can watch Narnia, Hitchhiker’s, and some perfect bank holiday, kick-back-and-enjoy fare like Con Air, The Rock, Face/Off, The Sixth Sense, Coyote Ugly and Deja Vu. And if you’re on a subscription of £5.99 a month or more, you’ll be watching at no extra cost.

More recently released Disney titles, like TRON: Legacy, Tangled and I Am Number Four, will also be streamable as part of our premium pay-per-view service.

And, of course, you can get all of Disney’s currently available DVD and Blu-ray titles – including their classic animation – via our rental-by-post service.

Simon Calver, our big boss, said: “We’re excited to have even more great films alongside our existing physical and digital titles. This is a great endorsement of the popularity of LOVEFiLM, as Disney is one of the world’s leading studios.”

And Catherine Powell from Disney added: “We’re working with innovative partners such as LOVEFiLM to offer our programming to viewers in evermore flexible, easy to access ways, and this agreement builds on our existing DVD rental partnership to further extend the availability of our films amongst UK audiences.”
