The streaming platform Stan has inked a deal with Hollywood studio Disney which will lock up Australian streaming rights to some of the studio's most valuable assets.

The deal includes key animation titles such as Frozen and Finding Nemo and films from its Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars libraries.

The dramatic realignment comes as Disney gears up to launch its own US-based streaming service Disney+, a repositioning in the US market in which Disney will compete more aggressively against the streaming giant Netflix.

The Stan deal was finalised yesterday and takes effect later this week.
