The Walt Disney Company is obviously best known for the Disney brand name, which is responsible for classic films and theme parks loved the world over.

Honestly, there’s no easy way of listing the top Disney films and programs without missing out on thousands more that are known and loved around the world.

Just in case you’re expecting it, here is a very brief list of selected Disney+ content:

Massive library of Disney films, from old classics like Cinderella and Pinocchio to more-recent classics like The Little Mermaid and Lion King through to recent hits like Frozen.

Complete set of Pixar films, including the entire sets of Toy Story and The Incredibles Vast library of National Geographic specials and documentaries.

How it Works: Hardware and Devices

  • Roku boxes, sticks, and TVs
  • Apple TV
  • iOS (iPhone and iPad)
  • Android phones, tablets, and TVs
  • Amazon Fire TV
  • Samsung smart TVs

Customer service

For customer queries, the best way to contact HBO is by calling toll-free number 1-855-942-6660 (1-855-9-HBO-NOW). Alternatives are to use the direct contact form on the HBO Now website or to Tweet out to @HBONowHelp. Like any big cable TV network, customer feedback for HBO is mixed,m with billing issues being among the most common complaints. Fortunately, HBO Now customers get a separate, dedicated phone line they can call for issues related purely to TV streaming and not connected to HBO’s cable service.

Summary

It was a long time coming, but finally HBO fans have a streaming service where they can access all of HBO’s hit TV series, films, and specials through the one app and without having to subscribe to cable TV. With HBO Now, subscribers get an over-the-top streaming service that brings you all HBO programming on demand: from TV shows such as Game of Thrones, The Wire, and The Sopranos, to hundreds of award-winning films. The service doesn’t require any hardware installations. All it needs is a phone, tablet, or computer or, if you’d like to stream to your TV, a connection to a casting service such as Chromecast or AppleTV.
