It's a sad reality that streaming services are deleting original films from platforms - here's everything that's disappeared from Disney+

It's too long to abbreviate here. It's quite surprising what they've deleted.

Not an accountant but I assume they have to pay members of the cast and crew for having it on their streaming service and, potentially license other content (like songs). In the contracts it'll say they have to pay a lump sum for removing it early and they have figured that this would be the cheaper option.

That makes sense, thanks.
