Microsoft today announced a new partnership with Disney that adds content from the Disney Movies Anywhere service to Microsoft’s Movies & TV video service.
Microsoft says users who connect their Microsoft Movies & TV account with a Disney Movies Anywhere account will automatically see content cross-populate their libraries. All content will be viewable via the Movies & TV app on Windows Phone handsets, in addition to Windows 10 PCs and the Xbox.
Similarly, movie purchases made via Microsoft Movies & TV will automatically be made available through Disney Movies Anywhere, allowing users to view the content (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars) across multiple devices in whichever app they prefer.
For example, users will be able to start a movie on one device and finish watching it on another, or download for offline viewing.
Microsoft said users who marry their Microsoft Movies & TV and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts will receive a free copy of Monsters, Inc.
