Just got mine setup. It's fantastic. The UI is really nice too. I didn't expect it to be as polished as it is.

I dont know why but it sucked up all the bandwidth my house had before. Nobody could surf while I was on Stremio.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Disney is launching a significant promotional effort meant to help drive subscribers to the advertising-supported tier of Disney+.

That content includes the Disney+ premiere of Pixar’s Elemental, which will debut on the service Sept. 13, Disney says.

Other content debuting on Disney+ in September incldue the live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, which debuts Sept. 6, new episodes of the Star Wars series Ahsoka, the second season of Marvel’s I Am Groot, and a new season of Animals Up Close with Bertie Gregory.

The new content, and the accompanying discount offer, is likely meant to help turbocharge subscribers to Disney+’s advertising tier.

Disney+ and other streaming services have been pushing consumers toward ad-supported tiers via price hikes to ad-free offerings and other efforts.

With the ad tiers having better economics and more growth potential, they have become a strategic priority for many companies.
