We’ve recently received a number of queries from you regarding the news of MGM HD’s upcoming closure.

MGM HD will cease broadcasting on Sky Channel 313 and UPC Eire 325 at midnight on the night of January 16, 2014.

It goes without saying that we at MGM HD are very sad to confirm this news, and we would like to send out our heartfelt thanks to all of our (very passionate!) fans for all your comments, praise, and support over these last four years - we hope you’ve enjoyed watching our channel as much as we’ve loved programming it for you!

Possibly. Sky currently have "Disney Movies" on their On Demand service which dont seem to be available to Virgin On Demand, so if they mark the content as "MGM Movies" then possibly not.

Unlikely given Sky's track record with regards to exclusive content they keep for themselves.

Its not the full collection. On Sky there are a set which are currently showing on Sky Movies Disney which are available to VM but then another set called "Disney Movies" which seem to be films not shown on Sky Movies Disney however seem to be shown on other channels recently (a few of the Disney Movies shown on the BBC over Christmas seem to be in there). These are not available on Virgin Media.

Ocav is referring to ones marked 'Disney Movies' on Sky , here's a few for you to check. I have no idea whether there available or not.

Up
Tangled
Wall-E
Alice in Wonderland
Jungle 2 Jungle
Snow Dogs
Old Dogs
The Wild
Bedtime Stories.

Update
Just had a look and it would appear the titles above are available on VM via Netflix.
