Disney is setting up an online food network

Disney is jumping into the food world with a new online network called Disney Eats.

The entertainment giant will partner with Tastemade on a slew of original culinary shows, the Mouse House said at a presentation Tuesday in New York.

Disney Eats will target millennial families and their Gen-Z children by highlighting co-cooking experiences — like its soon-to-debut show, “Kitchen Little,” which will showcase kids working with celebrity chefs.

A second show, “Tiny Kitchen,” will feature chefs creating small replicas of food from Disney movies.

True to form, Disney will also sell products — such as Minnie Mouse aprons and Mickey Mouse food molds — used in Disney Eats programs.

Disney Eats will be part of the Disney Digital Network, formerly Maker Studios, which was acquired by Disney in 2014 for $500 million.

Separately, Disney said it would relaunch its free “Oh My Disney” app along with a new podcast series that makes use of long-form content from its archives to provide an insider’s look into the company’s history and heritage.

In a much-enhanced digital push, Disney will also debut new shows for Facebook Watch, including “Designing Disney,” a series about designers who create Disney-inspired projects, and “Disney Dream Job,” a series about five children who spend a day working with Disney staffers.

In addition, Disney plans to launch more content for Marvel and Star Wars, including a new documentary series and awards for the best Star Wars-centric photography, video, art and costuming from superfans.
