On Disney+, you can create up to six profiles, with access for the little ones. The child profile is created from the home page and acts as a parental control. When you choose the child account, as on Netflix, the films offered are adapted to the age of the youngest. Thus, films not recommended for children or with an age limit offered in the Disney + catalog do not appear in the suggestions. Children will therefore find categories such as “Mickey and Friends”, “Animals and Nature”, or “Disney Junior“. Feature films like the sagas Star Wars Where Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar, or even Marvel films are no longer offered, leaving parents the choice of allowing their children to watch them from their personalized profile.
