Disney and TikTok have agreed a deal which will allow creators to use clips from Disney films, including its subsidiaries, in their videos.
It means clips from hit franchises like Star Wars, Toy Story and the Marvel Cinematic Universe will soon start popping up in videos – which will also be shared on Disney’s short-form video platform, Verts.
The scheme will be launched in the US before being rolled out to other countries.
Neither company shared financial details of the agreement, although it follows the collapse of a $1bn (£745m) deal between Disney and OpenAI which would have let people use its characters in AI-generated videos.

Thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses across Nigeria are learning practical Bible principles for achieving genuine happiness through a series of Bible-based talks and the screening of The Good News According to Jesus video series at the ongoing Eternal Happiness Convention.
As part of this year’s three-day programme (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), convention delegates are viewing Episodes 4, 5 and 6 of the dramatized series. Episode 4, “This Is Why I Have Come,” highlights Jesus’ early miracles, his healing works and his selection of the apostles. Episode 5, “Astounded at His Way of Teaching,” focuses on the impact of Jesus’ powerful teachings, while Episode 6, “Are You the Coming One?” explores events surrounding John the Baptist’s question about Jesus’ identity and mission.
The Good News According to Jesus series debuted in May 2024 as a special feature of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Declare the Good News! regional conventions, with the release of its first episode.
Episodes 2 and 3 were presented during the 2025 conventions, while Episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled for release at the organisation’s conventions in 2027.
Filming for the ambitious multi-episode production began in May 2022. Since then, new instalments have been released progressively at annual conventions, providing audiences with a detailed, chronological portrayal of Jesus Christ’s life and ministry based on the Bible.
Episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled for release at the organisation’s conventions in 2027.
The video presentations are among the highlights of the Eternal Happiness Convention, complementing Bible talks that encourage attendees to strengthen their faith and discover lasting happiness through applying Jesus’ teachings in their daily lives.
