Parents Annoyed When Disney+ Starts Showing Kids "American Horror Story"
Briefly

Corey Doiron expressed his initial excitement about Disney+ integrating Hulu, saying, "I was genuinely excited that they were integrating Hulu so I wouldn't have to switch apps." However, he was taken aback when he found a horror movie thumbnail like "Smile" appearing alongside beloved children's shows like "Bluey" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," highlighting the mixed content issue.
Business Insider reported that parents are struggling with content curation on Disney+, as its user interface doesn't allow them to block individual titles, a feature available on platforms like Netflix. This has led to confusing experiences when trying to filter appropriate viewing for children.
A parent described the parental guidance feature saying, "The reason we have PG is that when it's set to a lower rating, it only offers extremely childish options better suited to 3- or 4-year-olds," illustrating the lack of suitable content ratings for older kids.
The article emphasizes that the integration of Hulu into Disney+ brought forth unexpected content including R-rated movies and mature series, which doesn't align with many parents' expectations for a family-friendly streaming service.
