No VPN, no problem – it's a whole new world on Youku


In news which should come as a welcome surprise to all die-hard Disney fans, Alibaba's entertainment division has just signed a licensing agreement with Walt Disney Co, allowing the tech juggernaut to offer Disney programs on its various video streaming platforms, including Youku.

The online video hub already has a limited selection of Disney films online, however under this multi-year deal with Buena Vista International, Youku subscribers will be able to access more than 1,000 episodes from animated Disney series. Households with Alibaba set-top boxes will also have access to a library of Disney programs, including blockbuster films like Pirates of the Caribbean, Mulan and Frozen.

As China's largest video streaming platform, Youku currently reaches 580 million devices and receives about 1.2 billion views each day, according to Alibaba's news website Alizila. This latest deal follows similar licensing deals already made with Warner Bros, Paramount, Fox, NBC Universal and Sony Pictures.

The best part? All these Disney programs will be streamable without the need for a VPN, meaning that you'll be able to binge to your heart's content.
