Netflix’s Chief Creative Officer opens up on Disney+’s streaming success.

Disney+ launched earlier on Tuesday, and within 24 hours, the streaming platform reached 10 million subscribers. Disney would later reach a record high. Many analysts had predicted Disney’s streaming platform would bring competition to Netflix.

Netflix’s ‘Chief Creative Officer Ted Sarandos gave his response to Disney+’s launch during a talk at the Paley Center’s International Council Summit in New York.

Sarandos said that he’s “frankly surprised it took Disney and other people this long to go down this path. It’s a hard change.
