I don't think Disney+ or Amazon have public showing licenses. Please let us
know if you find out otherwise! 

 

Rather than trying to find movies people haven't seen, you might try making
old favorites interactive, to increase the draw. There are a myriad of
interactive movie scripts on the web.

We have, for ages, shown family movies once a month. We try to get a recent
release in the PG or lower range. We're starting to bump up against the
whole "everything is on streaming," issue and having a hard time finding
movies we're licensed for out on DVD in the right time frame (forget movies
we've actually heard of).

 

I'm not against figuring out how to stream movies, but because we haven't
done this before, I have concerns along the lines of: Do we just get Disney+
and cross our fingers, or sign up for Amazon this month and something else
next? 

 

Is this something anyone else is running into? Suggestions? Solutions?

 

We don't have Hulu etc owing to the fact that we have over 4000 DVDs, most
of them donated, so it would be something our budget doesn't really need on
the patron end. 

 

Thank you
