Disney launching HD movie channel next month

HD fans with kids have plenty to cheer today with the revelation that Disney is going to be launching an HD version of its Cinemagic film channel next month.

Needless to say this premium channel is only going to be available on Sky, as part of its Sky Movies subscription; nothing you have to pay for can be allowed to appear on Freesat, obviously! But if you are still clinging on to a Sky HD/Sky Movies subscription in these financially strained times, you can look forward to seeing movies like Ratatouille and Tinkerbell in HD in the lead up to Christmas, with Sleeping Beauty and The Incredibles promised the HD treatment in the New Year.
