The Walt Disney Company and TikTok announced a global agreement on August 5. The deal will allow content creation using iconic Disney film scenes on TikTok, with selected fan-made content distributed to Disney+. The service will pilot in the United States within the next few months before expanding to other regions.
The agreement gives TikTok access to hundreds of assets from Disney's library of franchises. At launch, characters and stories from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and FX will appear in the program.
Creators who opt in will have their short videos featured on both TikTok and Disney+'s "Verts" section. Top participants receive rewards through the jointly run Disney Creator Ambassador Program, along with increased exposure, access to exclusive events, and career development pathways.
The pilot is expected to begin in the United States within the next few months, with a rollout to other regions to follow.
