Disney+ has arrived just in time for everyone who's isolating themselves indoors, but it looks like UK customers are going to have to wait a little longer if they want to stream Frozen 2 in particular.
With everyone around the world being advised to stay in their homes to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Disney recently announced that it would be giving Elsa's second adventure an early release on the US, Australian and Dutch versions of the streaming service.
The hope was Frozen 2 might be available today (March 24), when the UK version of Disney+ was officially launched, but sadly fans over here will have to wait until July to watch the animated sequel.

The film's official Disney+ UK page reads: "Due to other existing agreements, this title will be available on July 17, 2020."
The DVD and Blu-ray will be released on March 30.
On the film's early release in the US, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said in a statement: "Frozen 2 has captivated audiences around the world through its powerful themes of perseverance and the importance of family, messages that are incredibly relevant during this time.
"We are pleased to be able to share this heartwarming story early with our Disney+ subscribers to enjoy at home on any device."
Frozen's early release (or not so early if you live the UK) isn't the only way Disney has responded to the coronavirus crisis.
It's also postponed the release of its live-action Mulan remake, paused production on multiple movies, and closed its theme parks in a bid to reduce the spread of the virus.
Frozen 2 is available to pre-order on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K now, while Disney+ is finally now live in the UK.
