Wow amazing video dude this is my first time checking you channel i had no idea that bear in big blue house was playhouse disney first show i used to love that show when i was a kid
The fact is that kids now don't watch television like generations before them. Now they have streaming and especially UA-cam. With UA-cam they can watch whatever they like to their specific tastes rather than what a tv channel would put on.
i feel bad for future generations they will never know the feeling of waking up at 9am on a saturday to watch disney channel or waiting for halloween and christmas specials
I agree and i'm only 16 but my little sister is 11 and all she does is watch youtube and tiktok or talk on the phone with her friends meanwhile when I was 11 I was still watching disney channel, nickelodeon, cartoon network I didn't stop watching those tv channels til I was about 14
I have to agree. Phineas & Ferb was to Disney what SpongeBob was to Nickelodeon. I know all good things come to an end but they should’ve kept it on until 2017 so it could’ve made it to being on air for 10 years
I think disney just realised that less and less pre teens and teenagers are watching TV programmes and instead they're watching Netflix Hulu etc and Disney channels stars had all grown up (jonas brothers, selena, miley, zendaya, Bella, Ross, demi) and they couldn't find new stars for the next generation up until they started disney+ and I think the only real stars that have come from disney since then has been olivia rodrigo and Joshua Bassett I may be wrong though
Disney really fell off after the rebrand in 2014. They fell to the pits of hell once Ravens Home got rid of some of their main cast members. It amazes me how Raven Symoné is still carrying The Disney Channel on her back and has been doing it for 21 years (since 2003)
I hear a rumor that Raven's Home will not return next season. It seems to confirm my own theory that once an established, successful Disney show changes its story locale, it's basically over. It happened with Bizaardvark, it happened with Liv and Maddie, and now, it's recently happened with Bunk'd, though it did take--what?--two seasons before that beast finally breathed its last?!
@@thomasharris3040 They still haven’t renewed Raven’s Home because of the writers strike but if Disney did decide to pull the plug it wouldn’t be good for the network because not only are all scripted shows with Black leads or black families getting cancelled but Ravens home is the only live action show on the channel that is currently carrying the network if we’re being fr. I did notice the story location curse but it always made sense for Ravens home to eventually go back to San Francisco because that’s where the original That’s So Raven took place. Disney’s problem is really axing their original main cast members that start these shows out and switch them out with new people. No one to walk this earth can tell me that Bunk’d shouldn’t have ended along with the Jessie cast.
@@TheRomaniBanks I agree with you for the most part about Bunk'd ending after the Jessie cast left, but the writers shifted the focus on Miranda May as the lead, and I think that was probably a good thing, for about two years. Now that the show is barely living, and it's basically Ms. May carrying the entire show (she's even an executive producer now), she's become too good for that series, and I would love to see her in a totally new role, not necessarily Disney. She's funny, she's talented, and that show is holding her back. Just my opinion.
i grew up during the rounded square era. i have so much nostalgia for shows like dog with a blog, good luck charlie, jessie, austin and ally, my babysitter’s a vampire, phineas and ferb, shake it up, and ant farm. my favorite movies from this era were girl vs monster, lemonade mouth, 16 wishes, and teen beach movie. it wasn’t the best era (that being the mid to late 2000s) but it’s my favorite bc of the memories it gave me
Thanks for the comment!! Yes what’s funny is that era was when I slowly stopped watching Disney. I did enjoy some of those shows and DCOMS just not as much as the older ones
My desire to be a Disney Channel star with Cerebral Palsy as a teenager inspired me to take acting classes and study for my Bachelor’s Degree in Film. I’ll be graduating this Christmas.
My fave eras on the Disney channel was the 2k era even tho I was born in 2002 when I was in kindergarten I loved kim possible, proud family, suite life of zack and Cody and wizards of waverly place and the 21 century era I liked Austin and ally, Jessie, ant farm, good luck Charlie, dog w a blog, suite life on deck and Liv and Maddie
Why don't you have more subs. This is an amazing retrospective. I'm gonna be 21 this year, and i have fond memories of watching from 2007-2015 with my sisters, as well as watching The Wiggles on the Playhouse Disney block. My favorites shows were definitely Phineas and Ferb and Suite Life of Zack and Cody. While i do like streaming, i do miss the days of cable and physical media. There's slmething so nostalgic of childhood innocence.
Thanks for the comment 🥰 Right and when you think about it we were watching everything at the same time so you felt more connected. The suite life & raven were my all time favorites I still quote them daily lol
Honestly, I think Disney Channel is literally the best form of content Disney has put out since a LONG time. Shows like Amphibia, The Owl House, Gravity Falls, the Ducktales 2017 reboot and so much more are literally some of the best shows to ever exist. They should be a standard in quality for the rest of Disney’s products.
My personal issue with Disney Channel now is that it feels less connected than before. Like people used to fun of them for recasting the same 7 people in different shows but in my opinion that’s what made it feel so connected. And yea I know the new cartoon characters still have crossovers and cameos from time to time but without seeing the real person behind the voice it just feels different.
Honestly, I’m kind of relieved that I’m getting a decently short and digestible rise and fall video because I’m so used to 5+ our videos with barely any actual content
Thanks for watching & the comment. Lol yes I know exactly what channels your talking about. Great content just super long and drawn out. Those videos are good if your home sick or during a stormy night.
@@phillinsogood Lmao no joke, i was getting ready to eat lunch and wondering what to watch then i saw your video and I love watching videos like this that review eras of TV channels and their rise and falls. I grew up around the 2003-2011 golden era of Disney Channel so just the nostalgia was awesome. Plus your vibe is just so warming and i love your voice. I plan on watching more! Thank you for this video and i cant wait for more!
As a 2000 born, I remember the Bounce Era (2002-2007) and the Ribon era (2007-2009). I stopped watching Disney Channel around 2010, as I realized the downfall back then. I'm glad to be a part of the Golden Era 💜💜💜
Your speaking my language it was such a good show but got overshadowed by everything else that was on at the time. Of course Rollie Pollie Ollie was the jam lol
I was born in 2005, but some of the older shows were still on the channel when I was watching, I probably started watching disney channel in 2015. I remember me and my friend watching disney channel together for hours, we loved it so much
Disney hasn’t been marketing Disney Channel shows/movies recently. And with the rise of streaming, Disney Plus is where everyone goes to watch Disney shows/movies
Good luck Charlie is definitely a surprising gem. My partner and I rewatched it now as adults with our kid and we all enjoyed it! They’ve got a lot of fun parts for the parents in that show, it’s a family show not just a kids show
Ever since I was 13 years old, I felt envious when I saw young teens on Disney Channel and other movies. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I use a Rovi x3 power wheelchair for mobility. I figured having a small career on Disney Channel could help improve my social inclusion. My high school refused to make accommodations for me to take acting classes, chorus classes, and movie criticism classes. Boston, Massachusetts needs more talent agencies in the city.
@@phillinsogood My desire to be a Disney Channel star with Cerebral Palsy as a teenager inspired me to take acting classes and study for my Bachelor’s Degree in Film. I’ll be graduating this Christmas.
i’m surprised you didnt mention olivia rodrigo from bizaardvark but i guess most people forgot she even came from that show or got her start on disney to begin with
Yeah, but her fame didn’t come from these shows. She was popular on HSMTMTS, but she only took off after Driver’s License which had nothing to do with Disney.
I noticed a comment you put on "What RUINED Klasky Csupo? (The DOWNFALL of Nickelodeon's Original Studio)" by Saberspark and I think you should watch "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman.
9:46 Disney channel looked different in each county. In my country "the Star with a wand that drawing Disney logo" never existed, so I was surprised to learn that it's something iconic
Thank you for mentioning how the newer shows feature positive and deeper topics like inclusion. SO many people think that the current day stuff is dumb and takes away the life lessons, but it actually does a much better job.
Thank you for this comment!! Yes I agree you can find good & bad in everything old and new. I think people are quick to dismiss the newer shows and movies because it’s not what they grew up on so in their mind it’s automatically trash.
@@phillinsogoodwhat's good how are you doing I grew up watching disney channel in the 2000s and I remember watching playhouse disney and I used to watch on playhouse disney is bear in the big blue house and rolie polie olie and the wiggles and stanley and out of the box man I miss those days
I don't think the quality of the shows are the issue. I'm sorry to say, but a lot of the shows and movies that we grew up with in the 2000s were a bit cringy too, no better than the shows and movies from today. I honestly don't think that Zombies and Teen Beach Movie aren't any worse than Camp Rock and High School Musical were. We just didn't realize how dumb some of the DCOM movies from our time were as children, and by the time we grew up and looked back at them again, we already had the nostalgia to cloud our judgement. To me, most DCOM movies from the mid-2010s to now aren't THAT bad (except for Descendants, but even so, I can understand the appeal). From a business standpoint, Disney Channel definitely peaked in the mid to late 2000s, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of the shows and movies from this time were better. I definitely agree that streaming services and social media are both more to blame. More variety of content means that kids are more spread out when it comes to what sort of things they are interested in. When I was growing up, if I wanted to watch something for kids, the main things I turned to were Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and PBS Kids. Technically, we had UA-cam, but there wasn't as much content for kids on UA-cam in the late 2000s as there are today. Netflix wasn't a streaming company yet, there was no UA-cam Kids, and Hulu didn't even exist. Another factor to consider is that because of streaming services and social media, less and less families find it necessary to pay for cable. Why pay the extra money for that when you already have the internet to give you access to any sort of content you want, at any time? Not to mention, if you're already paying a subscription to Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, etc., that money piles up. So it's not that kids don't want to watch channels on cable, but more that they literally can't, because their parents no longer pay for it. I have younger siblings, and they don't really mind watching channels. It's just that they have more variety of sources to find shows, so they'll watch shows on Disney+, Netflix, UA-cam, or Hulu. Unfortunately, Disney+ isn't very good at advertising their DCOM shows and movies, and I think it's because there's too much content on it, that they're too busy putting their Marvel, Pixar, live action remakes, and Star Wars movies to put any attention on their Disney Channel stuff. I don't know if the quality is going down, but rather that they're too much content. Stuff for tweens is being made, but it's buried under the Marvel Cinematic Universe, live action remakes, reboots, Star Wars, Disney Junior shows, etc.
Wow thanks for this comment!! I 100% agree with your points. As someone who grew up in the 00’s I enjoyed majority of what was put out but also thought there was some pretty bad DCOMS & shows during that era as well. There are some DCOMS & Shows that have held up pretty well from that time. I think the 2010’s had some good shows & DCOMS as well as crappy ones. I feel like people just say that their era was better and are quick to say the new stuff is bad without giving it a chance. Yes Disney Plus has waaaay too much content & they don’t really advertise the tween shows from Disney channel at all compared to the Marvel, Star Wars & Pixar choices.
Disney Channel died when House of Mouse, Timon and Pumbaa, Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch The Series, American Dragon Jake Long, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, DuckTales 1987, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Goof Troop, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, and Recess, and all the other cartoons were all cancelled. These shows were cancelled because of Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber, Wizards of Waverly Place, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Selena Gomez, High School Musical, The Jonas Brothers, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessie, Dog with a Blog, Girl Meets World, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bunk’d replaced Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh.
Thanks for the comment!! OMG you're correct. Disney channel shifted their focus on the live action shows and movies more so over animation which is interesting because Disney is the King of animation. Also American dragon Jake long was so good and deserved more seasons. Also not Justin Bieber 😂
@@phillinsogood I think Disney xd from 2009 to 2014/2015 is underrated it how cool live action shows like zeke and Luther pair of kings mighty med lab rats etc and animation like gravity falls phenies and ferb kick buttowski marvel cartoons old 90s cartoons like Batman beyond etc
@@topdawg2916you say Disney Channel went downhill in the late 2000s but then mention shows like Pair of Kings & Zeke + Luther, absolutely panned & downright bad shows 💀 I agree with Gravity Falls tho, a good return of quality for the network and personal favorite!
Another reason why Disney Channel is dead is because they don’t have variety. I looked at the schedule the other day and it’s literally all animated shows, and maybe about an hour of a live action sitcom. Another thing that is super strange to me is that Jessie is still airing. Why is Disney Channel airing a show that ended in 2015? There are other shows that ended WAY later but they don’t air them…
Great point while doing research for this video I noticed Jessie is the only old show they play reruns of. I know we have Disney plus but honestly if they had marathons of some of the older shows and movies similar to what Nick at night was doing a few years ago with the “90s are all that” people would probably tune in
i dont even think kids watch disney channel like that anymore they can just go on tiktok or watch youtube. im a 2000s kid so disney during 2000-2015 was it for me. nowadays kids watch anime leaving no time for disney
I think the reason why Disney Channel is still watched by people of older generations its because of the cartoons. The Live-Action shows and DCOMs had massive decline of quality during the last 10 to 15 years, same thing that happens to their rival Nickelodeon. But while the Viacom owned channel is basically destroying their legacy and almost every single new show or movie had failed miserably, both Live-Action & cartoons, in the recent years Disney Channel has a lot of animated shows with good quality that put them on the map of many people, specially now that rivals cartoons channels like Nick or CN have so little to no original animated content. This success happen thanks to the massive popularity of Gravity Falls, but it can be also attributed to the catalog of older shows that made the channel stand out towards the others competitors, examples could be like Kim Possible, The Proud Family, American Dragon: Jake Long, Recess, the original Ducktales, the Chip & Dale series and some of their shows derivated of popular movies from the company like the Lilo & Stitch series or The Emperor's New School. That level of constant quality endures to this day thanks to shows like The Owl House, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, The Ghost & Molly Mcgee, Big City Greens, Amphibia and some of their middle-to-late 2010s stuff like Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, the Rapunzel Tangled's Adventure series or the Ducktales reboot. Also, many canceled or forgotten shows like Dave The Barbarian, Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, Fish Hooks, The Buzz On Maggie, The Replacements, Wander Over Yonder, etc, have become cult classic over the years. A huge mention to all of the Disney XD cartoons like Kick Buttowski, Penn Zero, Randy Cunningham & Star Wars Rebels because even if they are from a sister channel, many considers them to be equal to their Disney Channel counterparts, because they shape the way Disney TV Animation is today often regarded as one of the best tv cartoons studios. Obviously, there's the whole The Owl House disaster of Disney fucking up one of their biggest shows just because its unapologetic queer (same thing that happens to the Nimona Movie, good stuff BTW check it out), but with the current corpo culture in Hollywood, the soulless Live-Action remakes of the most beloved Disney movies and anti-LGBT rhetoric things happens right now, it was obvious that some shit like that was going to happen. Still, Disney Channel is still talked about up to this day not only because of their long catalogue of classic shows and movies but also because of the current state of their animation department, the same medium which in the past had bring Disney as a whole to being one of the biggest media & entertainment companies in the world since the last 100 years. PD: you should do a video about the Disney Channel Games, they were such a important part of 2000s pop culture.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the Disney channel games that’s a good idea for a future video. Yes I agree the quality of the live action shows got noticeably worse towards the end of the 00’s
Since I am from a completely different country where certain Disney Channel shows were promoted on different channels, moved to the US in 2013 and I’m turning 21 in few weeks, I’m feeling so young watching this video since I grew up with shows from the bounce, ribbon, rounded square and FEW parts of the glass era until late 2017 at age 14. I still check some aspects in and out like Zombies and Descendants.
My favorite Disney channel shows are Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah montana. My favorite era was in 2006-2008. My favorite dCom is all the Descendants movie. Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are my favorite Disney stars. Rotten to the core is my favorite song
I was the bounce era and the ribbon era, and personally the ribbon era just hits differently! Hannah Montana was, is, and forever will be my show!This ribbon era just wins in my opinion, but everyone is allowed to have their own opinion based on their own childhood and experience!
When I think of the golden era of Disney Channel from 2000-2012, the first ones that come to mind are Shia LaBeouf (before he went nuts), Hilary Duff, Raven-Symonè, Cole & Dylan Sprouse, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato & the Jonas Brothers, to name a few. They were not only the faces of the channel, but they really helped change the game. Disney just don't make superstars like them anymore, & I consider Zendaya, Dove Cameron, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo & Jenna Ortega as the last of the Disney generation to hit big. That era will never be duplicated in my humble opinion. It will always & forever hold a special place in my heart. What a time to be alive. Thanks so much for sharing & as always, keep on doing what you do! 👍🏾 "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." {1 John 4:8}
Thanks for the comment. Yes Disney Channel was definitely on fire during the 2000’s & the first half of the 2010’s. Besides the obvious with streaming services I feel like Disney Channel should’ve added more variety of content because for a while it felt like they were just making sitcoms
Fave DCOM's: Gotta Kick It Up, Doubled Teamed, Brink, Going to the Mat, Jump In, On the Right Track, Don't Look Under the Bed, Zenon, Lemonade Mouth, Let It Shine, and High School Musical. Fave DC Shows: Wizards of Waverly Place, That's So Raven, Proud Family, Shake It Up, Phineas and Ferb, Good Luck Charlie, Gravity Falls, Kickin' It (even though this was Disney XD), and Suite Life Of Zack & Cody. Fave DC Songs: If you mean from DCOM, Get Your Head In The Game (HMS), Breakthrough ( Lemonade Mouth), Me & you and Guardian Angel ( Let It Shine), Over It ( Stuck In The Suburbs)
Thanks for the comment 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Ok that’s a good mix of shows, cartoons & DCOMS. My favorite DCOMS it’s a 3 way tie for me between Jump In, Johnny Tsunami & the Even Stevens Movie. Top 3 Sitcoms for me Raven, Suite Life & Wizards. Proud Family & Phineas and February for cartoons
I see you made a video on Disney channel to now! That’s so cool. Wizards is my all time favorite Disney show. Me and my sister used to watch it with our cousin all the time.
Also speaking of Disney XD, I grew up watching Zeke and Luther and it was pretty amazing, so underrated. I definitely think the square rebrand was such a departure than what came before. Can't put my finger on it. I think there's a loss of identity right now.
Great point!! So When Disney XD came out, I never really got to watch the shows. I heard that Zeke & Luther was a good show. I should check it out on Disney Plus.
I remember we first got Disney Channel in the early 2000s, in time for Recess and Lizzie McGuire, and like you, I watched up to the early 2010s. Good Luck Charlie and Gravity Falls were some of the last Disney shows I got into, too; something seemed off about the stuff that followed. Or maybe we just grew up 😅
Oh how I would loveeeee to go back to 2004-2011 (I’m an 03 baby) Disney channel literally stayed on my screen. Watching this video brought back so many memories,now I’m finna go home and watch Disney+ 😭
Yesss I was born in 95 so Disney Channel in the 00’s was everything to me. I loved the shows and the DCOMS growing up. That’s so Raven, Suite Life & The Proud Family were my favorite shows. Yess HSM3 was released a year before I went to high school lol
Well, yeah. Pretty much as soon as Disney+ was announced, the Disney channel was dead. But pretty much all cable television has died in the last 15 years, so.
I was born in the 90s so I watched Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, Cadet Kelly, Kim Possible, Suite Life, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place and other shows and movies around the golden era. After I got older, I only occasionally watched Good Luck Charlie and found it wholesome. I liked the Descendants series even though I'm definitely out of the age group. Lemonade Mouth is underrated.
I grew up on 90s-00s Disney channel and having sisters 10 and 14 years younger than me I saw this whole evolution of the channel and now that I have a kid who loves Disney channel shows and DCOMs I can’t say the channel is dying but it is evolving w the times
After the 2000s and early 2010s Disney Channel just fell from Grace I mean like they used to have such great stars and now they’re putting out shitty movies like descendants
Friend I agree. As someone who grew up watching Disney Channel in the 2000’s it definitely fell off once social media started taking off in the 2010’s even if some shows & DCOMS were still decent during the first half of the decade.
5:05 The Cartoon Network part of that statement is true, but Nickelodeon actually started in 1979, so Nickelodeon is actually older than Disney Channel, but was actually gaining popularity around the time the 90’s rolled around
If we’re being honest with ourselves, Disney Channel died in 2012. It was 2012 that Disney Channel started to shift its programming towards a very young demographic rather than the young tweens (and even older teens) who their shows were once well received by. But Disney began to lose its steam in 2010. Remember, 90’s and early 2000’s kids were coming off the back of iconic shows like Lizzie McGuire, That’s So Raven, Phil of the Future, Hannah Montana, Suite Life, Wizards of Waverly Place…only for disney to then transition with Shake it Up, Jessie, Ant Farm, Austin & Ally etc; This was an irrefutable dip in quality from the shows that superseded them, and that showed in their ratings. A matter of fact, between 2010-2013, Nickelodeon was actually doing better in ratings than Disney Channel. Because, while Disney was giving us lukewarm shows like Ant Farm & Shake it Up, Nickelodeon was giving us iconic shows like Big Time Rush and Victorious. While Victorious and Big Time Rush were seeing live viewership as high as 7M & 8M on their episodes, disney was trailing behind. The only show to match nicks ratings after 2010 was Good Luck Charlie. But even Good Luck Charlie, which was Disney’s biggest new program during its run, did not receive the high viewership of shows like Wizards of Waverly Place or even Victorious. I regard Good Luck Charlie and Victorious as the last great shows from both networks.
Thanks for this comment you’re amazing!! Yes you made some good points the shows definitely took a dip in quality throughout the 2010’s. Good Luck Charlie, Victorious, Big Time Rush were the last few interesting shows on both Disney & Nickelodeon that I enjoyed. (Maybe because I was in HS 😂) Yes I honestly don’t know what Disney could do especially with Disney plus and if today’s generation of kids even care
Okay, but watching HSM2 during it’s premiere night was wild! It felt like the biggest thing as a kid! I hope kids these days have a comparable moment they can get excited over. It sucks how I don’t feel like Disney in its current state is on par with where it used to be.
Ikr being a child in the 00’s was definitely something. I know we’re adults now but things seemed more fun and carefree everything just feels so serious & unoriginal nowadays. Yes I remember watching HSM2 when it premiered what a time to be alive.
That High School Musical 2 premiere night was amazing! I remember the hype surrounding it going in, and I remember Phineas and Ferb premiering right after! I remember the cast sitting around talking about the movie during the commercials. I remember seeing Miley cameo cuz she was voted in by fans! So much going on in my 7 year old head back then
YESSSS!! So much happened that night. Suite Life's HSM episode, Hannah Montana Jonas Brothers episode, Phineas & Ferb debuted, Cheetah girls aired their video for "Fuego", and Wizards aired it's first promo to premiere later that fall. What a TIME!!
Im From the Philippines the 2000s time where me and my sibling always watch tv on Disney everthing about the channel is my life the cartoon theme songs even the characters even the movies themeselves no matter how long Disney will be my Fave childrens cartoon channel no matter what
Oh my gosh my sister and I would watch Bear in the Big Blue House all the time! I barely remember it (being ~8months) but my mom says it was her favorite show of the ones we watched😂
Awww that’s a good memory lol. I loved as well as kid but was scared of the shadow girl character. Do you remember Stanley? It was another playhouse Disney song from the early 00’s?
I know!!! As an adult I think about Disney Channel so much and how much it meant to me growing up and that kids today don’t really watch it as much because they have Tik Tok or Disney Plus.
I grew up on DC and watched every DCOM there is, but I’ve literally never heard of Tru Confessions 😭 I have to see if I can find it somewhere and watch it!
For reference I'm currently 34 years old. I remember freaking out when my father and stepmother decided to finally pay for Disney channel... However because it was a paid channel My dad and stepmother were not willing to pay for it on any other household TV besides the living room. At the time... Disney channel was airing a show originally aired in Canada called ready or not? The show came on I believe weekdays at 4:00 p.m. back then... I would try my hardest to grab the TV before my father arrived home so that I could watch. Then there were times where.. Even if I thought I'd beat him to it... You'd come home and change the channel. (Always to some boring history channel show by the way.) Literally I would verbally battle with him and bargain and do whatever I could to get him to let me watch ready or not.😂 Wonder if I would think it was super cheesy today? Now I just like to say in general... Zoog Disney was EVERYTHING! 💯! You mentioned a few OG Disney channel original movies... And let me just say... I was highly disappointed when they fell off... And sad as I watched the movies decline in quality. Right along with the TV shows. I loved under wraps! Mom's got a date with a vampire. Got to kick it up. As you mentioned true confessions was also great. Actually... I could go on and on about Disney channel original movies from that particular time. #Ripzoogdisney😢
Thanks for the comment. Yes I agree the DCOMS of the early years were so special. As much as I loved high school musical the movies definitely changed afterwards. Some other good DCOMS that I love were hounded, the luck of the Irish, get a clue, ring of endless light and a few others that are underrated
Oh, this got super long and is basically a half finished script for a video I was thinking about making for the past year or two, but making videos isn't really my thing anyway, so I guess here goes for anyone interested in my experience with DC in Sweden. Its interesting to see where it started for someone who wasn't around back then and also isn't from the US. Disney Channel started in Sweden in 2004 if I remember correctly, and my parents got it for me and my sister either in late 2004 or early 2005, when I would have been 7 and my sister 1. Some of the cartoons, like DuckTales and Winnie the Poh had been on the Public Service channels's kids hour before, which was the only channels we could access before my parents got a satellite dish, and it wasn't even Disney that was the main selling point that made me ask for more channels, it was Digimon, that I aired on weekend mornings on Swedish Channel 3, which I discovered while we were on vacation someplace that had that channel. When my parents upgraded we got not only channel 3, but also Disney Channel (and eventually Toon Disney and Playhouse Disney when they were launched), Cartoon Network and Jetix (which also showed both Digimon and Pokémon to my great joy). Basically everything but Nickelodeon, which I have never watched. When I first started watching Disney channel I remember it was mostly cartoon content. Many shows that were already airing in the US, or sometimes even finished, like Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, Gummi Bears, Kim Possible, Recess, DarkWing Duck and the Lilo and Stitch show was airing in those early days, and a fair amount of animated B movies that I don't know if Disney was even involved in or if they were just cheap fillers, like an animated Zorro movie, 20.000 leagues under the sea, Time Kid and some others. I can't remember any of the live action shows that many Americans age 25-30 talk about, like Lizzie McGuire, Raven, Boy Meets World (I know it was ABC, but Disney owned, and you said in the video they did reruns on DC) and whatever else they are called. Most probably never made it to Swedish DC, or they were shown subbed with original English audio between 8 pm and 10 pm, when the channel would shut off. At age 7 my bedtime was 8, so I almost never stayed up to watch them, and even though I could read, and follow subtitles for the most part, I wasn't very interested in watching those shows anyway. I do remember Phill from the future, because that was often the first one to come on after the dubbed programing ended, so I've watched the intro a fair amount of times without ever having watched the show. The only 2 live action shows I can remember watching as a kid was Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and to my knowledge they didn't even dub the first season of Zack and Cody, they just test ran the show subbed to see if it would be worth the extra investment, and then they dubbed season 2 and onwards, but never went back to those first episodes. As for all those live action DCOMs the very first I remember is High School Musical. It's possible they showed some of the others as the movie of the week and I just missed it. Even if I were allowed up a bit later on Fridays, I wasn't allowed up until the end of a movie that started at 8, so if anything was interesting we would record it and watch it the next day. I remember watching a couple of Muppet movies and the first Pirates of the Caribbean this way, but not any DCOMs. By the time HSM came out I was old enough to stay up and watch it, and also there were tons of marketing for it, and they showed it 3 times the first weekend, first dubbed on Friday, then subbed on Saturday, and then dubbed again (possibly with sing along, can't remember) on Sunday again, and I watched it all three times, and that is also the last DCOM I remember watching until I checked some out on Disney+ 10+ years later. I'm not sure exactly when I stopped watching DC, and shows often came with quite the delay to Sweden, so it's no good looking at start and stop dates for shows, but I know for a fact I never saw The Suite Life on Deck or Wizards of Waverly Place until several years after leaving the channel, and it was a few years between that and my sister being interested enough to seek out the channel for her self, so I'm not sure what happened and when, but by the time she started watching Toon Disney didn't exist, Jetix had been bought by Disney and become Disney XD and Playhouse Disney was now Disney Junior, and Junior was basically the only channel that showed cartoons. DC had Phinneas and Ferb and eventually Gravity Falls, but nothing else cartoon I can remember. And the programming just repeated like 3 times per day. They had 4 or 5 hours of shows they played, and then they started from square one again and played the same 4-5 hours again in the afternoon, and then again in the evening, and I mean the same episodes as earlier in the day, not just the same shows. I found a few shows that I watched a bit. I watched a handful of episodes of Good luck Charlie, and I watched all of Suite Life on Deck and most if not all of Wizards and eventually caught on to Girl Meets World and went back and found all of Boy Meets World as well online (before there were any Disney+), and when Disney+ came along I also watched all of Liv and Maddie, but over all most shows didn't speak to me, and my sister wasn't very interested for very long either, so we quit our DC deal even before Disney+ launched. I think the Swedish Disney Channel has been discontinued by now. Last I checked, about a year after the launch of Disney+ in Sweden, our TV provider was charging about 3 times the cost of Disney+ for all 3 Disney Channels, and seeing as most Swedish households have a good enough internet connection to stream content, many even getting their regular TV though the internet rather than traditional antennas or satellite dishes or TV cables, it makes sense most people would turn to Disney+ instead. I think it's a bit sad that kids these days don't get the same TV experience I got as a kid, getting sucked into shows through the trailers, getting hyped for weeks about the new show or the next new movie of the week, having to catch the programs as they aired, and maybe discover something amazing in-between your favorite shows, or when you were home sick and too tired to do anything but watch TV, and that you had to do something else if nothing good was on, but also seeing the state DC was in last time I tuned in, I wouldn't want them to have that either.
Hey thanks for the comment I really appreciate it. You made some good points. Here in the US they did play the newest DCOM 3 times during its premiere week so HSM for example premiered on a Friday night, then played Saturday and Sunday night of that same weekend. If you're interested I'd suggest watching some of the older shows like Raven. Recess, Kim Possible and Proud family just for fun. You won't be disappointed.
in my opinion the golden era of Disney channel was 1997 to 2002 and 2003 to 2006 was ok 2006 on down we go with a few hidden gems mainly Phineas&Ferb also disneys one Saturday Morning yes you should do a video on that
I loved the Disney Channel prior to 1997. My parents added it to our cable subscription back in 1991 and I instantly fell in love with it. After 1997, however, my love for it started to wane and I didn’t think it was as good as before (some of that could be that I was starting to grow past the target demographic).
That’s a very interesting thing you mentioned. I’ve seen a few comments like this saying how they didn’t really care for the change during the Y2K days. But I get why they had to Cartoon Network & Nickelodeon were just dominating them so they had to compete. For someone who grew up watching Disney Channel during the 00’s I saw the change when High School Musical & Hannah Montana came out. The content was more focused on kids trying to get famous or just fame in general. The shows & DCOMS were very different afterwards
In the pre ‘97 days of the Disney Channel, it was a cornucopia of diverse programming for EVERYBODY of all ages, including adults! Aside from all the kids shows and classic Disney cartoons and original movies, there were concert series and specials for kids, from singers like Raffi, and many others, as well as the Going Home concert series for adults, with Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, etc. They also showed a great deal of non-Disney stuff, as well, like Care Bears and My Little Pony Tales. The Disney Channel was also a dumping ground for kids and family movies that aired on the big 3 networks over the years, including movies based on comic strips like For Better or Worse, The Family Circus, and Mr. Magoo. Even the Rankin Bass holiday movies. Even the bumpers featuring Mickey’s hands and him doing something that results in the formation of the network’s logo. Those were like a show in itself…so entertaining. I too get why they had to retool the channel. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to stay relevant and profitable.
@@mr.tomraypaz6085 exactly!!! I do remember all of the blocks Disney Channel had around this time and I actually really enjoyed them especially the Zoog stuff lol. Do you remember the Disney Vault commercials from the 90’s & the Movie Surfers?
So Weird was such an underrated Disney Channel show. I don't really see many people talk about it much? I wish Disney dipped their toes into horror/sci-fi more often!
I wasn't born yet to experience the 90s Disney channel, but for me 2000s was Disney channels peak! I will also say good half of the 2010s was great too. One main killers is of course was streaming and lack of shows.
Nickelodeon girl since 1998 turned Disney Channel when DC was available on regular cable :) I really wanted to watch DC more often and I never looked back :) I LOVED EVERYTHING MY FAVORITE DCOMS are the sporty and Zenon ones and HSM. I also enjoyed watching my favorite DC artists and mainstream artists put out music videos and concert specials❤
Honestly I might have to agree with you. The box square logo wasn’t that bad. So many people say Disney Channel died in the 2010’s and I feel like they were still very successful. Things changed when they introduced Disney Plus.
@@phillinsogood ikr the 2002 - 2014 wasn’t that bad and the newer logos but the reason why it did was being 1. They are taking Disney channel off the air around many countries 2. They are discontinuing the Disney apps that allowed to watch 3. They are making us pay for Disney + and Disney was the best until 2019 because the reason people are saying Disney channel died out was because of Demi Lovato,Miley Cyrus,Selena Gomez and a few stars were gone but if it wasn’t we would’ve had shows like shake it up dog with the blog liv and Maddie,Austin and ally , Jessie , Good luck Charlie and some of the shows weren’t discontinued because no one watched the show it’s because shows like andi mack pair of kings prankster had stars that got arrested Edit: the Disney apps released back in 2012
@@YTBenjaminSalas I agree 100% friend. Many people claim the channel died because of the quality of shows and movies, or because their favorite shows and stars were off the air when some of that can be true. Disney Channel died once social media & Disney Plus took off. The new Wizards reboot is actually premiering this month but then will be on Disney plus the next day.
The last good shows I watched was stuck in the middle and Andy Mack I really was invested in those series. Last Disney movie I watched was the last decendants and that first zombie movie. I never liked bunkd and that’s about it. Disney before the last things I watched were incredible time. I hope they do better and hire better writers and have originality, also I’m still watching that’s so raven reboot
The last thing I remember watching was Ducktales Though i plan to watch that Saturday’s show on top of checking out the comeback of thundermans on Nick Well one of those was sadder than it should be
I grew up in the late 2000s-early 2010s, so I missed out on the original hype of all the early 2000s shows. I had HSM DVDs and Hannah Montana everything, but I also loved A.N.T Farm, Jessie, and GLC. I think the last time I tuned into Disney was when Jessie ended. I only ever went back to the channel to see Descendants premieres. After that I stopped watching until I caught my sister watching Andi Mack and got overly invested it in. I personally think that Andi Mack and Raven’s Home were the best things to come out of that era of Disney. I feel like Andi Mack was what they wanted Girl Meets World to be.
@@phillinsogood That's great. But here they decided to pull the plug. I wish the Disney Channel Asia would be back because many Filipinos requested to bring Disney Channel Asia back since Disney Plus is still streaming all the series including Disney Descendants. Not only Disney Channel Asia but also Star TV now Fox TV. It happened in 1999 when Sky Cable was a partnership with ABS CBN they needed to pull the plug because Star TV had gone digital and brought back on cable television in May of 2002. I don't know if Nickelodeon Asia will be successful since they air re-runs at night like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other Nickelodeon series. What Filipino people like is the Disney Channel Asia. That's all that matters to it 🙁
@@hilarioph I hate that for y’all. Disney Plus doesn’t seem to be creating much original content for children & teens minus a few “DCOMS” & the HSM show. There’s no sitcoms or cartoons

The fact is that kids now don't watch television like generations before them. Now they have streaming and especially UA-cam. With UA-cam they can watch whatever they like to their specific tastes rather than what a tv channel would put on.
Which makes sense right?
i feel bad for future generations they will never know the feeling of waking up at 9am on a saturday to watch disney channel or waiting for halloween and christmas specials
@@janmarcosss I remember watching Disney count down for Disney movies. Like Lemonade mouth. Watching it on comcast early too.
@janmarcosss i never got to experience that
I agree and i'm only 16 but my little sister is 11 and all she does is watch youtube and tiktok or talk on the phone with her friends meanwhile when I was 11 I was still watching disney channel, nickelodeon, cartoon network I didn't stop watching those tv channels til I was about 14
I think Disney Channel started to lose its touch when phineas and ferb concluded
I have to agree. Phineas & Ferb was to Disney what SpongeBob was to Nickelodeon. I know all good things come to an end but they should’ve kept it on until 2017 so it could’ve made it to being on air for 10 years
@@phillinsogoodWell, Phineas and Ferb is actually returning with a 5th season, so, maybe that would help
I think disney just realised that less and less pre teens and teenagers are watching TV programmes and instead they're watching Netflix Hulu etc and Disney channels stars had all grown up (jonas brothers, selena, miley, zendaya, Bella, Ross, demi) and they couldn't find new stars for the next generation up until they started disney+ and I think the only real stars that have come from disney since then has been olivia rodrigo and Joshua Bassett I may be wrong though
I remember coming home in 2015… turning on Disney, and seeing Phineas waving goodbye. I deadass cried bro. That was the end of an era.
Exactly
Disney really fell off after the rebrand in 2014. They fell to the pits of hell once Ravens Home got rid of some of their main cast members. It amazes me how Raven Symoné is still carrying The Disney Channel on her back and has been doing it for 21 years (since 2003)
I hear a rumor that Raven's Home will not return next season. It seems to confirm my own theory that once an established, successful Disney show changes its story locale, it's basically over.
It happened with Bizaardvark, it happened with Liv and Maddie, and now, it's recently happened with Bunk'd, though it did take--what?--two seasons before that beast finally breathed its last?!
@@thomasharris3040 They still haven’t renewed Raven’s Home because of the writers strike but if Disney did decide to pull the plug it wouldn’t be good for the network because not only are all scripted shows with Black leads or black families getting cancelled but Ravens home is the only live action show on the channel that is currently carrying the network if we’re being fr. I did notice the story location curse but it always made sense for Ravens home to eventually go back to San Francisco because that’s where the original That’s So Raven took place. Disney’s problem is really axing their original main cast members that start these shows out and switch them out with new people. No one to walk this earth can tell me that Bunk’d shouldn’t have ended along with the Jessie cast.
Brenda Song is another person who’s been on Disney Channel for decades
@@phillinsogood most definitely Brenda Song & Raven Symoné have carried Disney Channel on their backs and are still doing it
@@TheRomaniBanks I agree with you for the most part about Bunk'd ending after the Jessie cast left, but the writers shifted the focus on Miranda May as the lead, and I think that was probably a good thing, for about two years. Now that the show is barely living, and it's basically Ms. May carrying the entire show (she's even an executive producer now), she's become too good for that series, and I would love to see her in a totally new role, not necessarily Disney. She's funny, she's talented, and that show is holding her back. Just my opinion.
i grew up during the rounded square era. i have so much nostalgia for shows like dog with a blog, good luck charlie, jessie, austin and ally, my babysitter’s a vampire, phineas and ferb, shake it up, and ant farm. my favorite movies from this era were girl vs monster, lemonade mouth, 16 wishes, and teen beach movie. it wasn’t the best era (that being the mid to late 2000s) but it’s my favorite bc of the memories it gave me
Thanks for the comment!! Yes what’s funny is that era was when I slowly stopped watching Disney. I did enjoy some of those shows and DCOMS just not as much as the older ones

@@JustEpic_Yt same, even though I’ve already fully binged Moon Girl I’m still gonna tune in to support the TV release so the show can keep on going
Honestly, I think Disney Channel is literally the best form of content Disney has put out since a LONG time. Shows like Amphibia, The Owl House, Gravity Falls, the Ducktales 2017 reboot and so much more are literally some of the best shows to ever exist. They should be a standard in quality for the rest of Disney’s products.
That's new disney 😂😂 def not the standard 😂😂

@@RealogOnlyBrodie video said 2015 to now so yes, Ducktales is still considered new. Get your facts straight before picking an argument.
My personal issue with Disney Channel now is that it feels less connected than before. Like people used to fun of them for recasting the same 7 people in different shows but in my opinion that’s what made it feel so connected. And yea I know the new cartoon characters still have crossovers and cameos from time to time but without seeing the real person behind the voice it just feels different.
Honestly, I’m kind of relieved that I’m getting a decently short and digestible rise and fall video because I’m so used to 5+ our videos with barely any actual content

@@MrAjking808 I liked it, I was a kid after all. They also did play older shows at the time
Disney hasn’t been marketing Disney Channel shows/movies recently. And with the rise of streaming, Disney Plus is where everyone goes to watch Disney shows/movies
Good luck Charlie is definitely a surprising gem. My partner and I rewatched it now as adults with our kid and we all enjoyed it! They’ve got a lot of fun parts for the parents in that show, it’s a family show not just a kids show
Ever since I was 13 years old, I felt envious when I saw young teens on Disney Channel and other movies. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I use a Rovi x3 power wheelchair for mobility.

@@johnwhitney5840 Yesss those were good shows I miss being as kid. We were so blessed with great shows.
Your wand Id was too good😂
lol I tried. I’ve practiced my whole life
I don't think the quality of the shows are the issue. I'm sorry to say, but a lot of the shows and movies that we grew up with in the 2000s were a bit cringy too, no better than the shows and movies from today. I honestly don't think that Zombies and Teen Beach Movie aren't any worse than Camp Rock and High School Musical were. We just didn't realize how dumb some of the DCOM movies from our time were as children, and by the time we grew up and looked back at them again, we already had the nostalgia to cloud our judgement. To me, most DCOM movies from the mid-2010s to now aren't THAT bad (except for Descendants, but even so, I can understand the appeal). From a business standpoint, Disney Channel definitely peaked in the mid to late 2000s, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of the shows and movies from this time were better.
I definitely agree that streaming services and social media are both more to blame. More variety of content means that kids are more spread out when it comes to what sort of things they are interested in. When I was growing up, if I wanted to watch something for kids, the main things I turned to were Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and PBS Kids. Technically, we had UA-cam, but there wasn't as much content for kids on UA-cam in the late 2000s as there are today. Netflix wasn't a streaming company yet, there was no UA-cam Kids, and Hulu didn't even exist.
Another factor to consider is that because of streaming services and social media, less and less families find it necessary to pay for cable. Why pay the extra money for that when you already have the internet to give you access to any sort of content you want, at any time? Not to mention, if you're already paying a subscription to Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, etc., that money piles up. So it's not that kids don't want to watch channels on cable, but more that they literally can't, because their parents no longer pay for it.
I have younger siblings, and they don't really mind watching channels. It's just that they have more variety of sources to find shows, so they'll watch shows on Disney+, Netflix, UA-cam, or Hulu. Unfortunately, Disney+ isn't very good at advertising their DCOM shows and movies, and I think it's because there's too much content on it, that they're too busy putting their Marvel, Pixar, live action remakes, and Star Wars movies to put any attention on their Disney Channel stuff. I don't know if the quality is going down, but rather that they're too much content. Stuff for tweens is being made, but it's buried under the Marvel Cinematic Universe, live action remakes, reboots, Star Wars, Disney Junior shows, etc.
Wow thanks for this comment!! I 100% agree with your points.
As someone who grew up in the 00’s I enjoyed majority of what was put out but also thought there was some pretty bad DCOMS & shows during that era as well. There are some DCOMS & Shows that have held up pretty well from that time.
I think the 2010’s had some good shows & DCOMS as well as crappy ones. I feel like people just say that their era was better and are quick to say the new stuff is bad without giving it a chance.
Yes Disney Plus has waaaay too much content & they don’t really advertise the tween shows from Disney channel at all compared to the Marvel, Star Wars & Pixar choices.
Agree
yep!
The mickey hand commercial was my thing lol..

Disney Channel died when House of Mouse, Timon and Pumbaa, Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch The Series, American Dragon Jake Long, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, DuckTales 1987, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Goof Troop, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, and Recess, and all the other cartoons were all cancelled. These shows were cancelled because of Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber, Wizards of Waverly Place, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Selena Gomez, High School Musical, The Jonas Brothers, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessie, Dog with a Blog, Girl Meets World, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bunk’d replaced Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh.

The intro made me emotional 😢
Mee too my guy 🫣
Another reason why Disney Channel is dead is because they don’t have variety. I looked at the schedule the other day and it’s literally all animated shows, and maybe about an hour of a live action sitcom. Another thing that is super strange to me is that Jessie is still airing. Why is Disney Channel airing a show that ended in 2015? There are other shows that ended WAY later but they don’t air them…
Great point while doing research for this video I noticed Jessie is the only old show they play reruns of. I know we have Disney plus but honestly if they had marathons of some of the older shows and movies similar to what Nick at night was doing a few years ago with the “90s are all that” people would probably tune in
i dont even think kids watch disney channel like that anymore they can just go on tiktok or watch youtube. im a 2000s kid so disney during 2000-2015 was it for me. nowadays kids watch anime leaving no time for disney
yes I agree
I think the reason why Disney Channel is still watched by people of older generations its because of the cartoons.
The Live-Action shows and DCOMs had massive decline of quality during the last 10 to 15 years, same thing that happens to their rival Nickelodeon. But while the Viacom owned channel is basically destroying their legacy and almost every single new show or movie had failed miserably, both Live-Action & cartoons, in the recent years Disney Channel has a lot of animated shows with good quality that put them on the map of many people, specially now that rivals cartoons channels like Nick or CN have so little to no original animated content.
This success happen thanks to the massive popularity of Gravity Falls, but it can be also attributed to the catalog of older shows that made the channel stand out towards the others competitors, examples could be like Kim Possible, The Proud Family, American Dragon: Jake Long, Recess, the original Ducktales, the Chip & Dale series and some of their shows derivated of popular movies from the company like the Lilo & Stitch series or The Emperor's New School. That level of constant quality endures to this day thanks to shows like The Owl House, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, The Ghost & Molly Mcgee, Big City Greens, Amphibia and some of their middle-to-late 2010s stuff like Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, the Rapunzel Tangled's Adventure series or the Ducktales reboot.
Also, many canceled or forgotten shows like Dave The Barbarian, Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, Fish Hooks, The Buzz On Maggie, The Replacements, Wander Over Yonder, etc, have become cult classic over the years.
A huge mention to all of the Disney XD cartoons like Kick Buttowski, Penn Zero, Randy Cunningham & Star Wars Rebels because even if they are from a sister channel, many considers them to be equal to their Disney Channel counterparts, because they shape the way Disney TV Animation is today often regarded as one of the best tv cartoons studios.
Obviously, there's the whole The Owl House disaster of Disney fucking up one of their biggest shows just because its unapologetic queer (same thing that happens to the Nimona Movie, good stuff BTW check it out), but with the current corpo culture in Hollywood, the soulless Live-Action remakes of the most beloved Disney movies and anti-LGBT rhetoric things happens right now, it was obvious that some shit like that was going to happen.
Still, Disney Channel is still talked about up to this day not only because of their long catalogue of classic shows and movies but also because of the current state of their animation department, the same medium which in the past had bring Disney as a whole to being one of the biggest media & entertainment companies in the world since the last 100 years.
PD: you should do a video about the Disney Channel Games, they were such a important part of 2000s pop culture.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the Disney channel games that’s a good idea for a future video.
Yes I agree the quality of the live action shows got noticeably worse towards the end of the 00’s
Since I am from a completely different country where certain Disney Channel shows were promoted on different channels, moved to the US in 2013 and I’m turning 21 in few weeks, I’m feeling so young watching this video since I grew up with shows from the bounce, ribbon, rounded square and FEW parts of the glass era until late 2017 at age 14. I still check some aspects in and out like Zombies and Descendants.
My favorite Disney channel shows are Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah montana.
My favorite era was in 2006-2008.
My favorite dCom is all the Descendants movie.
Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are my favorite Disney stars.
Rotten to the core is my favorite song
I wish disney had a 90s-2000s channel that only played their early shows :( my future kids deserve to grow up with that stuff
I was the bounce era and the ribbon era, and personally the ribbon era just hits differently! Hannah Montana was, is, and forever will be my show!This ribbon era just wins in my opinion, but everyone is allowed to have their own opinion based on their own childhood and experience!
Disney Channel was just the greatest growing up in the late 90s & 2000s!❤
The best!
When I think of the golden era of Disney Channel from 2000-2012, the first ones that come to mind are Shia LaBeouf (before he went nuts), Hilary Duff, Raven-Symonè, Cole & Dylan Sprouse, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato & the Jonas Brothers, to name a few. They were not only the faces of the channel, but they really helped change the game. Disney just don't make superstars like them anymore, & I consider Zendaya, Dove Cameron, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo & Jenna Ortega as the last of the Disney generation to hit big. That era will never be duplicated in my humble opinion. It will always & forever hold a special place in my heart. What a time to be alive. Thanks so much for sharing & as always, keep on doing what you do! 👍🏾 "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." {1 John 4:8}
Thanks for the comment. Yes Disney Channel was definitely on fire during the 2000’s & the first half of the 2010’s. Besides the obvious with streaming services I feel like Disney Channel should’ve added more variety of content because for a while it felt like they were just making sitcoms
Fave DCOM's: Gotta Kick It Up, Doubled Teamed, Brink, Going to the Mat, Jump In, On the Right Track, Don't Look Under the Bed, Zenon, Lemonade Mouth, Let It Shine, and High School Musical. Fave DC Shows: Wizards of Waverly Place, That's So Raven, Proud Family, Shake It Up, Phineas and Ferb, Good Luck Charlie, Gravity Falls, Kickin' It (even though this was Disney XD), and Suite Life Of Zack & Cody. Fave DC Songs: If you mean from DCOM, Get Your Head In The Game (HMS), Breakthrough ( Lemonade Mouth), Me & you and Guardian Angel ( Let It Shine), Over It ( Stuck In The Suburbs)
Thanks for the comment 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Ok that’s a good mix of shows, cartoons & DCOMS. My favorite DCOMS it’s a 3 way tie for me between Jump In, Johnny Tsunami & the Even Stevens Movie.
Top 3 Sitcoms for me Raven, Suite Life & Wizards.
Proud Family & Phineas and February for cartoons
I also liked good luck Charlie
Bro your Disney logo draw was peak 🤣🤣💯
😂😂 I really be trying
I see you made a video on Disney channel to now! That’s so cool. Wizards is my all time favorite Disney show. Me and my sister used to watch it with our cousin all the time.
Yes I made a Disney channel & Nickelodeon rise and fall. My all time favorite Disney show growing up was That’s So Raven
I was early 2010s kid and I watched 2010s disney channel and I was born in 2011
Looking back at this makes me feel like I wish I was a part of Disney Channel like these other kids because it’s so cool.
Also speaking of Disney XD, I grew up watching Zeke and Luther and it was pretty amazing, so underrated. I definitely think the square rebrand was such a departure than what came before. Can't put my finger on it. I think there's a loss of identity right now.
Great point!! So When Disney XD came out, I never really got to watch the shows. I heard that Zeke & Luther was a good show. I should check it out on Disney Plus.
You don’t understand that square era is actually so iconic. After 2015 yeah it sucks lol
After 2018
This video is so good! 😊
I loved the 90s to about 2010. The most recent things I loved from them is Phineas and Ferb and Kim Possible
I remember we first got Disney Channel in the early 2000s, in time for Recess and Lizzie McGuire, and like you, I watched up to the early 2010s. Good Luck Charlie and Gravity Falls were some of the last Disney shows I got into, too; something seemed off about the stuff that followed. Or maybe we just grew up 😅
I think after Lab Rats, KC Undercover, The Owl House and DuckTales ended, there wasn’t much to look forward to.
The owl house just ended
I Loved and enjoy kc undercover the show was good I finished the episodes on Disney channel
Oh how I would loveeeee to go back to 2004-2011 (I’m an 03 baby) Disney channel literally stayed on my screen. Watching this video brought back so many memories,now I’m finna go home and watch Disney+ 😭
I even remember seeing HSM3 in theaters and me getting the DVD and constantly watching it dang near everyday
Yesss I was born in 95 so Disney Channel in the 00’s was everything to me. I loved the shows and the DCOMS growing up. That’s so Raven, Suite Life & The Proud Family were my favorite shows.
Yess HSM3 was released a year before I went to high school lol
Well, yeah. Pretty much as soon as Disney+ was announced, the Disney channel was dead. But pretty much all cable television has died in the last 15 years, so.
It’s so sad.
Mortified y life with derek eran mis series favoritas
Just a little FYI, Christina, Britney, Justin & Ryan were on "MMC" for two years (the 6th & 7th seasons), from 1993-1995 until it ended.
I remember when high school musical first aired on Disney Channel it was amazing 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Yesss what a time to be a kid. It was so fun
I was born in the 90s so I watched Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, Cadet Kelly, Kim Possible, Suite Life, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place and other shows and movies around the golden era.
After I got older, I only occasionally watched Good Luck Charlie and found it wholesome.
I liked the Descendants series even though I'm definitely out of the age group. Lemonade Mouth is underrated.
Why are we the same person? Yes Disney Channel in the 00’s was just so good
I grew up on 90s-00s Disney channel and having sisters 10 and 14 years younger than me I saw this whole evolution of the channel and now that I have a kid who loves Disney channel shows and DCOMs I can’t say the channel is dying but it is evolving w the times
Thanks for the comment!! Yes I agree they have evolved with the times to stay relevant and with their competitors.
After the 2000s and early 2010s Disney Channel just fell from Grace I mean like they used to have such great stars and now they’re putting out shitty movies like descendants
Friend I agree. As someone who grew up watching Disney Channel in the 2000’s it definitely fell off once social media started taking off in the 2010’s even if some shows & DCOMS were still decent during the first half of the decade.
We had a good run guys.
Great video. ❤ Please do one on Nickelodeon.
Hey thanks for watching 😊yes I plan on making a Nickelodeon one soon
Please do one on Cartoon Network too
I do have to say I LOVE all the Descendants franchise.
Your Disney wand deserves a like on its own 😂👍🏼
Omg thanks lol
5:05 The Cartoon Network part of that statement is true, but Nickelodeon actually started in 1979, so Nickelodeon is actually older than Disney Channel, but was actually gaining popularity around the time the 90’s rolled around
Correct Nickelodeon has been around the longest & really took off & dominated in the 90’s.
I just love that this video is in 4:3. Awesome video!❤
If we’re being honest with ourselves, Disney Channel died in 2012. It was 2012 that Disney Channel started to shift its programming towards a very young demographic rather than the young tweens (and even older teens) who their shows were once well received by. But Disney began to lose its steam in 2010. Remember, 90’s and early 2000’s kids were coming off the back of iconic shows like Lizzie McGuire, That’s So Raven, Phil of the Future, Hannah Montana, Suite Life, Wizards of Waverly Place…only for disney to then transition with Shake it Up, Jessie, Ant Farm, Austin & Ally etc;
This was an irrefutable dip in quality from the shows that superseded them, and that showed in their ratings. A matter of fact, between 2010-2013, Nickelodeon was actually doing better in ratings than Disney Channel. Because, while Disney was giving us lukewarm shows like Ant Farm & Shake it Up, Nickelodeon was giving us iconic shows like Big Time Rush and Victorious. While Victorious and Big Time Rush were seeing live viewership as high as 7M & 8M on their episodes, disney was trailing behind. The only show to match nicks ratings after 2010 was Good Luck Charlie. But even Good Luck Charlie, which was Disney’s biggest new program during its run, did not receive the high viewership of shows like Wizards of Waverly Place or even Victorious.
I regard Good Luck Charlie and Victorious as the last great shows from both networks.
Thanks for this comment you’re amazing!! Yes you made some good points the shows definitely took a dip in quality throughout the 2010’s.
Good Luck Charlie, Victorious, Big Time Rush were the last few interesting shows on both Disney & Nickelodeon that I enjoyed. (Maybe because I was in HS 😂)
Yes I honestly don’t know what Disney could do especially with Disney plus and if today’s generation of kids even care
Disney channel is not the same anymore smh. I missed the old days smh..
Right times were better back in the early years. Thanks for the comment 🥰
Everyone has their own nostalgia
Okay, but watching HSM2 during it’s premiere night was wild! It felt like the biggest thing as a kid! I hope kids these days have a comparable moment they can get excited over. It sucks how I don’t feel like Disney in its current state is on par with where it used to be.
Ikr being a child in the 00’s was definitely something. I know we’re adults now but things seemed more fun and carefree everything just feels so serious & unoriginal nowadays.
Yes I remember watching HSM2 when it premiered what a time to be alive.
That High School Musical 2 premiere night was amazing! I remember the hype surrounding it going in, and I remember Phineas and Ferb premiering right after! I remember the cast sitting around talking about the movie during the commercials. I remember seeing Miley cameo cuz she was voted in by fans!
So much going on in my 7 year old head back then
YESSSS!! So much happened that night. Suite Life's HSM episode, Hannah Montana Jonas Brothers episode, Phineas & Ferb debuted, Cheetah girls aired their video for "Fuego", and Wizards aired it's first promo to premiere later that fall. What a TIME!!
Im From the Philippines the 2000s time where me and my sibling always watch tv on Disney everthing about the channel is my life the cartoon theme songs even the characters even the movies themeselves no matter how long Disney will be my Fave childrens cartoon channel no matter what
Insanely good content! I'm really happy I found your channel so I can binge watch XD
Thanks for the support I appreciate your comment. Yes I plan on making more fun content as time goes on
Oh my gosh my sister and I would watch Bear in the Big Blue House all the time! I barely remember it (being ~8months) but my mom says it was her favorite show of the ones we watched😂
Awww that’s a good memory lol. I loved as well as kid but was scared of the shadow girl character. Do you remember Stanley? It was another playhouse Disney song from the early 00’s?
I really! Hope that Disney channel doesn't go away because it was a part of my childhood and I really! Feel like it's a part of my adulthood now
I know!!! As an adult I think about Disney Channel so much and how much it meant to me growing up and that kids today don’t really watch it as much because they have Tik Tok or Disney Plus.
I grew up with the 2000 shows.
2:41 Aw! My favorite Bible verse! Philippians 4:6 ❤️ And this video is really something special! Thanks so much!
Awww thanks so much. Yes Jesus is amazing and the reason why I'm here.
I grew up on DC and watched every DCOM there is, but I’ve literally never heard of Tru Confessions 😭 I have to see if I can find it somewhere and watch it!
Yes True Confessions is one of the best DCOMS. It's on Disney Plus I suggest you check it out. It's a tear jerker.
Let it shine was a top tier d com.
I think it has one of the best soundtracks from any Disney channel project
For reference I'm currently 34 years old.
I remember freaking out when my father and stepmother decided to finally pay for Disney channel... However because it was a paid channel My dad and stepmother were not willing to pay for it on any other household TV besides the living room.
At the time... Disney channel was airing a show originally aired in Canada called ready or not? The show came on I believe weekdays at 4:00 p.m. back then... I would try my hardest to grab the TV before my father arrived home so that I could watch. Then there were times where.. Even if I thought I'd beat him to it... You'd come home and change the channel. (Always to some boring history channel show by the way.)
Literally I would verbally battle with him and bargain and do whatever I could to get him to let me watch ready or not.😂 Wonder if I would think it was super cheesy today?
Now I just like to say in general... Zoog Disney was EVERYTHING! 💯!
You mentioned a few OG Disney channel original movies... And let me just say... I was highly disappointed when they fell off... And sad as I watched the movies decline in quality. Right along with the TV shows.
I loved under wraps! Mom's got a date with a vampire. Got to kick it up. As you mentioned true confessions was also great. Actually... I could go on and on about Disney channel original movies from that particular time.
#Ripzoogdisney😢
Thanks for the comment. Yes I agree the DCOMS of the early years were so special. As much as I loved high school musical the movies definitely changed afterwards.
Some other good DCOMS that I love were hounded, the luck of the Irish, get a clue, ring of endless light and a few others that are underrated
Poor Orlando Brown ❤
Ikr he had so much potential smh
Oh, this got super long and is basically a half finished script for a video I was thinking about making for the past year or two, but making videos isn't really my thing anyway, so I guess here goes for anyone interested in my experience with DC in Sweden.
Its interesting to see where it started for someone who wasn't around back then and also isn't from the US. Disney Channel started in Sweden in 2004 if I remember correctly, and my parents got it for me and my sister either in late 2004 or early 2005, when I would have been 7 and my sister 1. Some of the cartoons, like DuckTales and Winnie the Poh had been on the Public Service channels's kids hour before, which was the only channels we could access before my parents got a satellite dish, and it wasn't even Disney that was the main selling point that made me ask for more channels, it was Digimon, that I aired on weekend mornings on Swedish Channel 3, which I discovered while we were on vacation someplace that had that channel. When my parents upgraded we got not only channel 3, but also Disney Channel (and eventually Toon Disney and Playhouse Disney when they were launched), Cartoon Network and Jetix (which also showed both Digimon and Pokémon to my great joy). Basically everything but Nickelodeon, which I have never watched.
When I first started watching Disney channel I remember it was mostly cartoon content. Many shows that were already airing in the US, or sometimes even finished, like Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, Gummi Bears, Kim Possible, Recess, DarkWing Duck and the Lilo and Stitch show was airing in those early days, and a fair amount of animated B movies that I don't know if Disney was even involved in or if they were just cheap fillers, like an animated Zorro movie, 20.000 leagues under the sea, Time Kid and some others. I can't remember any of the live action shows that many Americans age 25-30 talk about, like Lizzie McGuire, Raven, Boy Meets World (I know it was ABC, but Disney owned, and you said in the video they did reruns on DC) and whatever else they are called. Most probably never made it to Swedish DC, or they were shown subbed with original English audio between 8 pm and 10 pm, when the channel would shut off. At age 7 my bedtime was 8, so I almost never stayed up to watch them, and even though I could read, and follow subtitles for the most part, I wasn't very interested in watching those shows anyway. I do remember Phill from the future, because that was often the first one to come on after the dubbed programing ended, so I've watched the intro a fair amount of times without ever having watched the show.
The only 2 live action shows I can remember watching as a kid was Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and to my knowledge they didn't even dub the first season of Zack and Cody, they just test ran the show subbed to see if it would be worth the extra investment, and then they dubbed season 2 and onwards, but never went back to those first episodes. As for all those live action DCOMs the very first I remember is High School Musical. It's possible they showed some of the others as the movie of the week and I just missed it. Even if I were allowed up a bit later on Fridays, I wasn't allowed up until the end of a movie that started at 8, so if anything was interesting we would record it and watch it the next day. I remember watching a couple of Muppet movies and the first Pirates of the Caribbean this way, but not any DCOMs. By the time HSM came out I was old enough to stay up and watch it, and also there were tons of marketing for it, and they showed it 3 times the first weekend, first dubbed on Friday, then subbed on Saturday, and then dubbed again (possibly with sing along, can't remember) on Sunday again, and I watched it all three times, and that is also the last DCOM I remember watching until I checked some out on Disney+ 10+ years later.
I'm not sure exactly when I stopped watching DC, and shows often came with quite the delay to Sweden, so it's no good looking at start and stop dates for shows, but I know for a fact I never saw The Suite Life on Deck or Wizards of Waverly Place until several years after leaving the channel, and it was a few years between that and my sister being interested enough to seek out the channel for her self, so I'm not sure what happened and when, but by the time she started watching Toon Disney didn't exist, Jetix had been bought by Disney and become Disney XD and Playhouse Disney was now Disney Junior, and Junior was basically the only channel that showed cartoons. DC had Phinneas and Ferb and eventually Gravity Falls, but nothing else cartoon I can remember. And the programming just repeated like 3 times per day. They had 4 or 5 hours of shows they played, and then they started from square one again and played the same 4-5 hours again in the afternoon, and then again in the evening, and I mean the same episodes as earlier in the day, not just the same shows. I found a few shows that I watched a bit. I watched a handful of episodes of Good luck Charlie, and I watched all of Suite Life on Deck and most if not all of Wizards and eventually caught on to Girl Meets World and went back and found all of Boy Meets World as well online (before there were any Disney+), and when Disney+ came along I also watched all of Liv and Maddie, but over all most shows didn't speak to me, and my sister wasn't very interested for very long either, so we quit our DC deal even before Disney+ launched.
I think the Swedish Disney Channel has been discontinued by now. Last I checked, about a year after the launch of Disney+ in Sweden, our TV provider was charging about 3 times the cost of Disney+ for all 3 Disney Channels, and seeing as most Swedish households have a good enough internet connection to stream content, many even getting their regular TV though the internet rather than traditional antennas or satellite dishes or TV cables, it makes sense most people would turn to Disney+ instead. I think it's a bit sad that kids these days don't get the same TV experience I got as a kid, getting sucked into shows through the trailers, getting hyped for weeks about the new show or the next new movie of the week, having to catch the programs as they aired, and maybe discover something amazing in-between your favorite shows, or when you were home sick and too tired to do anything but watch TV, and that you had to do something else if nothing good was on, but also seeing the state DC was in last time I tuned in, I wouldn't want them to have that either.
Hey thanks for the comment I really appreciate it.
You made some good points. Here in the US they did play the newest DCOM 3 times during its premiere week so HSM for example premiered on a Friday night, then played Saturday and Sunday night of that same weekend.
If you're interested I'd suggest watching some of the older shows like Raven. Recess, Kim Possible and Proud family just for fun. You won't be disappointed.
The best was 2000s and 2019 i life before Covid
I agree Disney Channel during the 2000’s was 🔥
in my opinion the golden era of Disney channel was 1997 to 2002 and 2003 to 2006 was ok 2006 on down we go with a few hidden gems mainly Phineas&Ferb also disneys one Saturday Morning yes you should do a video on that
I loved the Disney Channel prior to 1997. My parents added it to our cable subscription back in 1991 and I instantly fell in love with it. After 1997, however, my love for it started to wane and I didn’t think it was as good as before (some of that could be that I was starting to grow past the target demographic).
That’s a very interesting thing you mentioned. I’ve seen a few comments like this saying how they didn’t really care for the change during the Y2K days. But I get why they had to Cartoon Network & Nickelodeon were just dominating them so they had to compete.
For someone who grew up watching Disney Channel during the 00’s I saw the change when High School Musical & Hannah Montana came out. The content was more focused on kids trying to get famous or just fame in general. The shows & DCOMS were very different afterwards
In the pre ‘97 days of the Disney Channel, it was a cornucopia of diverse programming for EVERYBODY of all ages, including adults! Aside from all the kids shows and classic Disney cartoons and original movies, there were concert series and specials for kids, from singers like Raffi, and many others, as well as the Going Home concert series for adults, with Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, etc.
They also showed a great deal of non-Disney stuff, as well, like Care Bears and My Little Pony Tales. The Disney Channel was also a dumping ground for kids and family movies that aired on the big 3 networks over the years, including movies based on comic strips like For Better or Worse, The Family Circus, and Mr. Magoo. Even the Rankin Bass holiday movies.
Even the bumpers featuring Mickey’s hands and him doing something that results in the formation of the network’s logo. Those were like a show in itself…so entertaining.
I too get why they had to retool the channel. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to stay relevant and profitable.
@@mr.tomraypaz6085 exactly!!! I do remember all of the blocks Disney Channel had around this time and I actually really enjoyed them especially the Zoog stuff lol.
Do you remember the Disney Vault commercials from the 90’s & the Movie Surfers?
Yes. I remember Zoog and Movie Surfers.
I am a kid at heart Forever and ever 😃
So Weird was such an underrated Disney Channel show. I don't really see many people talk about it much? I wish Disney dipped their toes into horror/sci-fi more often!
I agree I’ve actually never seen the show but from making this video I wanna check it out.
Check out So Weird, it's brilliantly underrated. It was before my time but even so, it is genuinely high quality regardless
I wasn't born yet to experience the 90s Disney channel, but for me 2000s was Disney channels peak! I will also say good half of the 2010s was great too. One main killers is of course was streaming and lack of shows.
Nickelodeon girl since 1998 turned Disney Channel when DC was available on regular cable :) I really wanted to watch DC more often and I never looked back :) I LOVED EVERYTHING
MY FAVORITE DCOMS are the sporty and Zenon ones and HSM.
I also enjoyed watching my favorite DC artists and mainstream artists put out music videos and concert specials❤
Right Nick was cool but Disney Channel was just more wholesome.
Fav show definitely KIM POSSIBLE. I LEARNED that full version of Call Me Beep Me!
My favorite era of Disney channel was 2001 - 2019 but my favorite logo from then was the square one that went on from 2010 - 2014
Honestly I might have to agree with you. The box square logo wasn’t that bad. So many people say Disney Channel died in the 2010’s and I feel like they were still very successful. Things changed when they introduced Disney Plus.
@@phillinsogood ikr the 2002 - 2014 wasn’t that bad and the newer logos but the reason why it did was being 1. They are taking Disney channel off the air around many countries 2. They are discontinuing the Disney apps that allowed to watch 3. They are making us pay for Disney + and Disney was the best until 2019 because the reason people are saying Disney channel died out was because of Demi Lovato,Miley Cyrus,Selena Gomez and a few stars were gone but if it wasn’t we would’ve had shows like shake it up dog with the blog liv and Maddie,Austin and ally , Jessie , Good luck Charlie and some of the shows weren’t discontinued because no one watched the show it’s because shows like andi mack pair of kings prankster had stars that got arrested
Edit: the Disney apps released back in 2012
@@YTBenjaminSalas I agree 100% friend. Many people claim the channel died because of the quality of shows and movies, or because their favorite shows and stars were off the air when some of that can be true.
Disney Channel died once social media & Disney Plus took off. The new Wizards reboot is actually premiering this month but then will be on Disney plus the next day.
@@phillinsogood yeah I saw they are introducing the reboot,let’s see if people like it or not
@@YTBenjaminSalas yes I’m interested to see what it’s like. I feel like the show didn’t really need a reboot and feels like the David Henrie Show! ☕️
The last good shows I watched was stuck in the middle and Andy Mack
I really was invested in those series. Last Disney movie I watched was the last decendants and that first zombie movie.
I never liked bunkd and that’s about it.
Disney before the last things I watched were incredible time.
I hope they do better and hire better writers and have originality, also I’m still watching that’s so raven reboot
The quality isn’t the problem, it’s just that streaming is taking over
@@DORAisD34D it definitely some of the quality along with streaming service
There's a saying that I like "if an adult can't enjoy a kids show then that kids show just isn't good"
im surprised miraculous ladybug wasnt included in here. That show made a large fan base
Oh your so right there were some shows I forgot to mention or include a clip of
The last thing I remember watching was Ducktales
Though i plan to watch that Saturday’s show on top of checking out the comeback of thundermans on Nick
Well one of those was sadder than it should be
I grew up in the late 2000s-early 2010s, so I missed out on the original hype of all the early 2000s shows. I had HSM DVDs and Hannah Montana everything, but I also loved A.N.T Farm, Jessie, and GLC. I think the last time I tuned into Disney was when Jessie ended. I only ever went back to the channel to see Descendants premieres. After that I stopped watching until I caught my sister watching Andi Mack and got overly invested it in.
I personally think that Andi Mack and Raven’s Home were the best things to come out of that era of Disney. I feel like Andi Mack was what they wanted Girl Meets World to be.
In the Philippines, Disney Channel Asia started in 2002 until they shut down in October of 2021 due to streaming platforms like Disney Plus
Dang that’s sad to hear. Here in America all they play is re-runs of Bunkd & Bluey all day long
@@phillinsogood That's great. But here they decided to pull the plug. I wish the Disney Channel Asia would be back because many Filipinos requested to bring Disney Channel Asia back since Disney Plus is still streaming all the series including Disney Descendants. Not only Disney Channel Asia but also Star TV now Fox TV. It happened in 1999 when Sky Cable was a partnership with ABS CBN they needed to pull the plug because Star TV had gone digital and brought back on cable television in May of 2002. I don't know if Nickelodeon Asia will be successful since they air re-runs at night like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other Nickelodeon series. What Filipino people like is the Disney Channel Asia. That's all that matters to it 🙁
@@hilarioph I hate that for y’all. Disney Plus doesn’t seem to be creating much original content for children & teens minus a few “DCOMS” & the HSM show. There’s no sitcoms or cartoons
Something similar to that here in Africa, except that it was Disney XD that got axed instead of Disney Channe.
@@stormythunder4k That is very sad even though they axed out 🙁
