  "account": "Disney+ has recently introduced a Playlists feature that groups movies and series by genres, franchises, characters, or moods, providing a more relaxed \"lean-back\" viewing experience. This new addition allows users to pause, rewind, and skip titles, making it easier to find something to watch without the hassle of endless browsing. The feature builds upon Disney+ existing themed Collections, but offers a more continuous viewing experience with playback controls, giving users more control over their viewing experience. While Disney+ already has themed Collections, Playlists go a step further by providing a continuous viewing experience with playback controls, allowing users to pause, rewind, and skip titles. Additionally, Disney+ plans to introduce seasonal Playlists throughout the year, such as Halloween- and festive-themed collections.",
  "summary": "No matter whether you're looking for comedy movies or can't decide on which Modern Family episode to re-watch next, this new Disney+ feature can do the hard work for you.",
