    Since Disney Chanel is celebrating their 40th anniversary this month, I decided to look back at one of their most well known efforts to educate kids about important life values, The Friends For Change initiative.

    Friends for Change is lowkey indirectly responsible for me meeting my best friend. My school was having a talent show and another friend and I were going to sing Make A Wave together (I was Demi and she was Joe haha). She got the date of the audition wrong so I was there all alone and ended up sitting by a girl who was also scared to go alone. We literally decided then and there to audition together and I called my mom to have her burn a CD with the one song the both of us knew and bring it ASAP. We ended up doing Dance Me If You Can from Cheetah Girls 3 and my lord did we suck absolute balls, but we're still best friends 14 years on!

      I think they wanted to push the whole "kids telling you what to do" since there were so many sources of adults telling kids what were right or wrong so Disney thought it would appeal to kids more to have other kids they looked up to talk to them. I think it was a good approach.

      What’s crazier is that Friends For Change represents a period of innocence and hope, where the widespread belief was that “if we all work together we can stop climate change and save our planet.” We all believed it and committed to it.
      But today that hope is completely dead in the face of the fact that in reality, billion and trillion dollar companies are solely responsible for all of the damages to our climate and planet, and the very hope of “if we work together we can save the planet” was ITSELF a clever and successful marketing ploy by those same corporations to shift the blame away from themselves and towards regular people. Now it is clear that there is nothing any of us can to to save the planet and climate.
      Despite our best efforts, the fossil fuel companies were successful in stopping the actions necessary to actually save the planet, and we’re all certainly going to suffer in an increasingly uninhabitable planet.
      I desperately wish and long for the days of “Send It On.” 2009 feels like it was the hopeful 60s era to todays 70s cynical despondency.

    Friends for Change actually impacted me a lot when I was younger, and this video reminded me of how my best friend and I started a “Friends for Change” club at our elementary school. We even organized a school wide canned food drive, just the two of us at like 8-9 years old. Seeing all these other comments, Friends for Change seemed to make an impact on a lot of people who were kids when it aired. I think that’s amazing! They should bring something like this back.

    You pointing out how the adults from the shows like Phil Lewis and Billy Ray Cyrus weren't involved in this reminded me of just how little the adults were involved in the Disney Channel brand outside of the shows. Like, I remember watching a compilation of all of the Wand IDs, and, typically, the actors playing the adults were the only main cast members of any given show not to have any (i.e.: Selena Gomez, David Henrie, Jake T. Austin, Jennifer Stone, and even Gregg Sulkin had Wand IDs for Wizards of Waverly Place, but Maria Canals Barrera and David DeLuise never did). The only exception is Ben Savage got to do one for Girl Meets World, presumably because he was a big draw to the show.
    Edit: Also, Jason Earles had several Wand IDs for Hannah Montana, but he was an adult playing a teenager, so it doesn't really count.

      I’m pretty sure their shows never made it over. Disney Channel was always strict as far as not bringing over live-action programming that was produced for their overseas offshoots. Even in stuff like the Games, Disney didn’t acknowledge a foreign show that the actor was from; they were just a representative of Disney Channel (insert country).

    I genuinely remembered the whole Friends for Change thing. My sister and I would see it air and we would just watch it since it's just there. It did lowkey convince me to do "my part" in saving the planet. I remember begging my parents to use Earth-friendly products and we recycled all the time, even turning off the TV when no one is watching. I even remembered in elementary school back in 5th grade, they "somehow" convinced us and made it important for us to save the Earth. Once it was the final week of school, we just recycled all of our books and paper supplies. We were like "We saved like 17 trees!". I just die laughing thinking about it because it's so funny to me now. Man, they should really bring this back. The closest thing to a "Friends for Change" is Mr. Beast since he did clean up the ocean, beaches, and planted trees. He isn't even our friend... But hey, I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it's something!

But now, knowing that billion dollar companies are solely responsible for the climate damage and the successful blockage of meaningful climate action just makes me cynical, depressed and resigned. I so want to go back to those hopeful days when “Send It On” made me feel hopeful and magical.

    Disney Channel’s involvement of adult actors in non-show activities is very inconsistent. They did Express Yourself (at least Craig and Lise of Phil of the Future), but didn’t do Circle of Stars until Kevin and Leigh-Allyn in Do You Wanna Build A Snowman. Their representation at the Disney Channel Games boils down to Phill and Brian as the commentators while the only player who qualifies might’ve been Shin Koyamada from Wendy Wu. Girl Meets World era Ben Savage got a Wand ID, and Raven’s Home has been led very strongly by Raven. She and Anneliese even did a Celebrity Family Feud episode with Coop and Cami’s Rebecca Metz, Just Roll With It’s Suzi Barrett, and, in unintended animation representation, Caroline Rhea from Sydney to the Max (and Phineas and Ferb). Kim Possible’s Gary Cole happened to be on the Mixed-ish team they were facing.
    Meanwhile Dan and Swampy just seem to be in a whole other league (I think their “We’re Gonna Do It Again” music video falls in line l)

      Very inconsistent indeed. Disney XD rarely promote their adult actors at all on their sitcoms. Hal Sparks never really appears in Lab Rats’ promotional material, for example, and Geno Segers is very inconsistent with Pair of Kings. Only Jason Earles and the Iron Weasel actors were front-and-center. XD stopped giving any adult actors anything other then guest stars after Lab Rats. Mary Birdsong never made it past guest star status on Crash & Bernstein, nor did Carlos Lacamara on Mighty Med. None of the adult actors on Kirby Buckets ever got to be a main star, with Stephen Kearin in particular being a glaring omission by the end of the show’s run. Gamer’s Guide had Lauren Pritchard most notably.
      Fun fact: Suzi Barrett was also the mom on Kirby Buckets.

    part of me is jazzed that a big network encouraged eco-friendly behavior in kids (and i remember watching these when they aired), in a way that is accessible and approachable. but the other part of me knows the disney corporation is a huge contributor to global emissions, pollution, waste etc that amounts to way more than a handful of kids turning the lights off when they leave a room. and if they really wanted to do something good they'd make fundamental changes in their company. good memories but so frustrating now as an adult.

      It feels like Send It On was a bit of hope telling us “if we all work together we can save the planet.”
      but now, knowing that companies like Disney were and are directly and actively responsible for climate damage, in addition to the fact that we’re past the point of no return towards an uninhabitable hellscape and because of these companies successfully blocking any actually beneficial action, means that there was never going to be any chance to save the planet.
      It honestly just depresses me to the point where I long to go back to those days where you could believe that your actions to have a positive impact on the world.
