TikTok and The Walt Disney Company have announced a new short-form content-sharing agreement designed to connect Disney fandom with TikTok’s creator community.

The deal will give eligible TikTok creators access to assets from hundreds of Disney films and series, including content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and FX. Selected creator videos will also appear in a new Disney+ destination called Verts.

Disney content meets TikTok creators

The agreement is focused on fan creativity. TikTok creators who take part will be able to use approved material from Disney’s catalogue to create short-form videos, while Disney+ will feature a curated selection of participating creator content.

It is a notable change from the usual relationship between major entertainment companies and social platforms. Rather than simply promoting trailers and clips, Disney is building a direct path for selected fan-made TikTok content to reach its streaming audience.

A US pilot comes first

Despite being described as a global agreement, the first rollout is a US pilot planned for the coming months. TikTok and Disney say they intend to expand to other markets afterwards, but they have not announced a full launch schedule or country list.

Earlier today, Marvel also released a new poster for their first female-led super-hero movie

The Walt Disney produced film is directed by Jon Favreau, and is a photorealistic, computer animated movie featuring a high-profile cast, including Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, and James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa. Hans Zimmer is also returning to score the film, while Elton John is coming back to rework some of his original compositions. The film is scheduled to come out on July 19th, 2019.
