Disney just showed everyone how it plans to beat Netflix: Create an exclusive home for some of the world's most popular movies, shows and characters, and charge a shockingly low price for it.

The company on Thursday unveiled its long-awaited streaming service, Disney+. It will cost just $6.99 per month — about half the price of a standard Netflix subscription.

Disney+ has already sent waves through the media and entertainment world.
