Disney has sold over a half-million motion pictures (television and feature-length) on iTunes.

The company and its subsidiaries, ABC and Pixar, all sell content on iTunes. No surprise, as Steve Jobs is a crucial part of both corporations.

Not surprisingly the largest selling content is the oldest content. High School Musical, the Disney Channel’s breakthrough made-for-TV movie, is one of the biggest selling Disney items. It has an advantage though - it’s been selling longer than iTunes has been selling traditional movies. In fact, the sale of High School Musical brought substantial rumour-mongering geared at the launch of the iTunes Movie Store.

Another notable point worth mentioning is that Disney plans on sharing the wealth. Not surprisingly, television channels are feeling a bit left out in this rush to the net, and want their share. Disney is nearing a licensing deal (within the next few deals) that will share this new stream of revenue with the (decidedly few) cable operators who show Disney films.
