Disney and TikTok Strike Deal to Let Creators Make Videos with Its Famous Characters
The pact will let opt-in creators use Disney scenes and characters in short videos that appear on TikTok and Disney+, with a U.S. pilot planned.
- On Wednesday, The Walt Disney Company and TikTok announced a global partnership allowing creators to use characters and scenes from Disney's library in short-form videos, marking the first pact of its kind between a traditional media giant and the social platform.
- Disney aims to reduce subscriber churn and boost engagement among Gen Alpha by converting short-form social media interest into sustained daily activity on Disney+, which the company plans to make its "digital centerpiece."
- Participating creators gain access to assets from hundreds of films and series, with content appearing in a dedicated "Verts" feed on Disney+. Both companies will administer a "Disney Creator Ambassador Program" offering incentives and career development for top-tier creators.
- The pilot program launches in the United States in the coming months, with companies planning to expand to additional international markets. Videos will be refreshed regularly to maintain ongoing fan interaction and community engagement around featured properties.
- While competitors like Netflix, Peacock, and Paramount+ have invested in vertical formats, this partnership marks a shift toward integrating authentic, creator-generated material into Disney+. The deal extends storytelling reach beyond traditional long-form content by blending intellectual property with participatory social culture.
