Disney and TikTok Partner to Offer Movie and Series Clips to Content Creators

Disney and TikTok are joining forces in a new partnership that will grant social media content creators access to clips from a vast library of Disney films and television series. This collaboration extends to productions from studios owned by Disney, significantly expanding the available content for TikTok users.

Content creators will be able to legally use scenes from hundreds of Disney productions, including beloved franchises like Star Wars, Toy Story, and Marvel. This move is expected to foster a new wave of fan-created content on the platform. The partnership aims to simplify the process for creators, who previously risked having their videos removed due to copyright claims.

The collaboration is set to launch in the United States, with plans for a subsequent global rollout. As part of the agreement, selected videos will be published on both TikTok and Disney's streaming service, Disney+. This cross-platform presence highlights Disney's continued investment in short-form, vertical video content.

Disney+ is also introducing "Verts" in the U.S., a feature mirroring TikTok's vertical video feed, allowing users to scroll through short clips derived from movies and series. This initiative comes as TikTok reported an average of 6.5 million videos related to movies and TV shows being published daily on its platform last year.
