With this agreement, Canal+’s viewers will be able to enjoy a wide range of current and forthcoming movies from the portfolios of Walt Disney Pictures, Disney/Pixar, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films.

Titles include “There Will be Blood,” starring Daniel Day Lewis, and “Enchanted.”

Also included in the agreement are upcoming seasons of the Golden Globe winning ABC Studios produced series “Desperate Housewives,” following its ongoing success on the platform since 2005.

Disney-ABC International Television’s senior vice president, programme distribution, EMEA (North) Catherine Powell commented, “We are delighted to be building on our long-standing relationship with Canal+. This agreement will bring new content from our unique, schedule-driving programming portfolio to viewers, for them to enjoy how and when they wish, across TV and new media windows.”

Selected titles included in the agreement will be available in their transactional VoD window to rent, before being introduced to pay-per-view and finally pay TV.

Canal+ Group head of cinema Manuel Audey said, "We are particularly proud to continue building on our already solid partnership with Disney. Subscribers will now have broader access to Disney’s unique film library at times and in places of their choosing, thanks particularly to catch-up television and VOD. This is a big step forward in delivering premium content in the new, fast-moving media environment."
