Disney+ bungle exposed: cine plays hannah montana doc straight from the streaming service

At a recent screening of Disney's Hannah Montana: The 20th Anniversary Special, something strange happened - and it was caught on camera. The documentary, which has been available on Disney+ since March 24, was apparently projected directly from the streaming service onto the big screen.

Technical glitch sparks laughter and indignation

As the projector began to rewind the film, viewers were treated to an unexpected sight: the Disney+ menu appeared on screen, revealing the embarrassing truth. The tech snafu didn't stop there - when the cinema tried to rectify the issue, a Disney+ error message popped up, blocking playback and sending the audience into stitches.

The debacle, captured on TikTok and shared by user @NachoEstrada78, took place at a Yelmo Premium theater in Venezuela. Several commenters claimed this wasn't an isolated incident, sparking a heated debate about the ethics of projecting streaming content in cinemas.

In a world where studios provide cinemas with digital copies of their films, some argue that bypassing the intended playback method is a form of deception. Others see it as a harmless mistake, albeit an amusing one.
