Disney’s new streaming service has been given a name: Disney+. Fangirls Going Rogue dives into what we know will be part of this platform, including Star Wars and Marvel offerings.

Young female filmmakers had a chance to create video shorts with famous mentors like Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy and Mary Poppin Returns’ Emily Blunt.
