From 'Cars' to 'Alice': Disney Puts Its Movies Up for Rent on YouTube

From "Alice in Wonderland" to "Cars," hundreds of Disney movies are now available for rent on YouTube, the Google owned site announced on Wednesday. 

It's not quite a Netflix killer yet, but the video site now boasts four major studios  among its rolls: Sony, Universal and Warner Bros., as well as Lionsgate.

It is all part of YouTube's ongoing effort to integrate high quality movies and television shows into a site best known for cat videos and other user-generated content. 

In addition to licensing content, YouTube announced plans last month to create dozens of channels with original shows from partners such as Jay-Z and Ashton Kutcher. 

In the case of the Disney deal, customers will have 48 hours to watch the films, which generally range in price from $1.99 to $3.99 for newer releases such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." 

Pixar and some DreamWorks titles will be included as part of the Disney deal.
