I don't think Disney produces enough content that could justify such a service, they have a diverse catalog but it really doesn't have the depth.

Maybe I'm weird, but I get my fix of Disney IP's by purchasing a Blu-Ray once or twice a year - I can't stand the garbage Disney puts on their cable channels (seriously, to hell with the Disney Channel and Disney Jr.), their classic movie library I won't let my daughter near, I couldn't care less about anything on ESPN and ABC. That basically leaves Pixar, Star Wars, (sometimes) Marvel and on (rare) occasion their newer films and licensed content. Why on earth would I pay $5-10/mo ($60-120/yr) when I can spend $20-40/yr on a disc or two?

Right, but you are weird, just like many of us here. Hannah Montana had an average viewership of 4-5M people. In comparison, Breaking Bad only surpassed the 2M in the last season, and Mad Men never hit 3M. And while HM is a peak, all their Disney Channel live-action show are in the 1-2M zone.
