Not sure it really is a Sky Cinema channel though, it appears to be operated by Disney unlike how Sky Cinema Disney was hence the lack On Demand content on Sky Cinema and only via Disney+ app.

But in terms of On Demand content, most sky cinema customers aren't losing anything as content from sky cinema animation will still be available on demand (of course, with expiry dates as is current process)

Disney+ Cinema is owned by The Walt Disney Company and Sky Group.

Additionally, I think you're partially correct about the On Demand content, I think it's more of a stepping stone to go into Disney+ to watch via streaming instead of On-Demand.

Challenge is still listed in TV Guide magazines e.g TV & Satellite Week and What's on TV as 116 (117 in Wales) on Sky Stream (since 24th February), I wonder why they changed their mind

Interesting ideas.... It doesn't seem to bother some that Movie have dropped sharply due to Sky Animation weather Sky could buy anything from one new channel like 312 or maybe 315 Movies24, 316 Movies24+ instead of 325 TalkingPictures though. When MGM, Cinemoi, OUTtv got closed.
