After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Disney filmed multiple "Express Yourself" shorts with their stars and actors/actresses outside of Disney Channel, like Melissa Joan Hart, Beverley Mitchell, @TiaMowrysQuickFix& @tameramowryhousleyofficial, Frankie Muniz (Miracle in Lane 2), Bryan Cranston, @whoopigoldberg, Paula Jai Parker, Kyla Pratt, The Lawrence Brothers and even the former 1st Lady Laura Bush.

"Jesse, we need to remember the effects of 9/11"
"Yo Mr White, 9/11 just happened, what do we do?"
"Jesse, we need to express ourselves"
"But Mr White, how can we express ourselves?"
"Jesse, kids like us can express ourselves on Disney Channel"
"Hey, I'm Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad, and you're watching Disney Channel." *da, da, da-da*
I can’t believe I remember this being 8 years old at the time and now I’m about to be 29. This is history…. WOW!
I was 9 years old when this happend.
This take me back.
I miss the early 00’s
You cried about 20 years?
I miss 9/11 too
"Kids express themseleves..."
WHOOPIE GOLDBERG COMES UP LOL
She mentally and emotionally a child
Black don't Crack 😂
And Bryan Cranston.
I remember watching these commercials at 9 years old and now I'm 30 now. that's crazy how time flies. you think at 9 years old that by the time we hit 30 it's going to be a long time before you hit 30 but then when you're 30 you realize time passes by so Quickly
I remember express your self but u can't remember the topics i was 9 years old
@@dahomiee I remember most but not all lol
This brings back so many memories. I remember this comforting me a little bit....
R.I.P Lee Thompson Young
(1984-2013)
Lee Thompson Young was so mature for his age. Rest his soul
For anyone discovering this video for the first time, there's more Disney Channel nostalgia beyond the first 8 minutes
You know I never thought I'd be one of those adults who looks at the world and says man I wish we could go back to simpler time but I very much so am one of those adults now and watching this made feel this for sure.
Was it really a simpler time? This was on the anniversary of an attack by foreign individual in US soil (allegedly) this also was the precursor to the US involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq which lasted just until 2021
Ikr as kids during this time I heard adults say this so many times, I had no idea the world would get worse enough for me to be saying the same thing years into the future
The good old days when Disney Channel was good!
You can relieve some of the good old days here Monday-Saturday.
It's LIVE now: vaughn.live/gadc
Back when my stepdad was alive, on a Saturday like this we’d be in the house watching Disney, fox kids and Cartoon Network while me stepdad made a wholesome breakfast and it may or may not be raining outside and there was always that Saturday buzz in the neighborhood that led up to a vibrant Saturday night, where my younger siblings would rather be playing in the yard and I’d have the tv to myself, and then by dinner everyone comes inside the house and we watched the Disney movie lineup for the night, Zenon, thirteenth year, luck of the Irish, it was always a Disney blockbuster movie
Holy hell this is a deep cut for me! I was born in 96 so I don’t even remember 9/11, but I remember seeing these tv spots growing up. I didn’t even know they were about 9/11. Incredible … the internet really is a time machine.
Same boat as you. I remember a lot of things from that year but I just can't remember that happening.
Nostalgia punches me right in face with these commercials.
Whoever uploaded this..
Thank you. I needed this trip down memory lane. This was my childhood
Thanks. I made this little compilation myself. I actually missed a few of these for this set.
I also got more Disney Channel nostalgia on my channel
"True patriotism springs from a belief in the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on Earth..." - Eleanor Roosevelt.
Hearing all of these kids talk about their siblings…
Makes me miss my childhood and living with them.
they were talking about 9/11 and the war in the middle east tho? not their siblings lol
Dang they were hitting on some heavy topics in these commercials. It’s nice to watch as an adult. Nowadays people would just insult this and call it “woke”.
They could still do stuff like this today but when you preach a biased agenda with it and talk down to people who don't agree with them
I mean, the one where they go “hey maybe don’t be mean to Muslims cuz if 9/11” can be seen as woke, but I don’t know how the one with Laura Bush saying that you must respect the flag and worship America is woke at all. If anything it’s the exact opposite.
@@DarkManX16 Lol what agenda? The liberal 'agenda' is equal rights.
@@DarkManX16 OP is one of those people that would call this "woke" if it was made today
Totally Agree.
Bryan Cranston part comes on. "I am the danger.".
Get ready for a lot of comments from Defunctland
Hi
It me
Anyone else on here just to see Shia’s and Hilary’s parts 😭 🙋🏼♀️ Shia definitely hit this topic so deeply and he was way beyond his years! 😳♥️
Forgot all about these until finding this video. The music brings me right back to when I was a kid! Total nostalgia
Thanks for sharing this
Brings back so many memories💕🥹ALYUHAUUHA The Heavenly Father Keep you!
back when Disney used to keep it real..
Fun fact: Whoopi Goldberg is the first African-American actress and comedienne to have won the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards (EGOT). You can't make this shit up. Go figure.
Christy Romano is such a beauty here.
Fun fact: Melissa Joan Hart still owns that eagle dress and she stills wears it to this day. Go figure.
That's awesome how did you find that out?
@@DarkManX16 Well, I've seen Melissa Joan Hart wear the eagle dress from her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Bros a super fan
@@sinlife8662 I am a super fan of Melissa Joan Hart, 24/7, 365.
Who else was feeling the soundtrack for this?
The person who did the music should've saved it for a bigger project. It's an absolute banger
"I think ive given up on boys"
8 year old me: "LOL girl me too!"
*20 yrs later*
"I think ive given up on boys"
28 year old me: " LOL GIRL ME TOO"
😂😂😂
Had the biggest crush on shia back then and still have a crush on his "i have to be the most melodramatic person in the room" cringe self now😅
8:08 OMG I forgot about that show “The Jersey!” Holy snacks! You are the best ❤
FACTS: Disney Channel has Canadian casting such as Shadia Sinmons, Alexz Johnson and Calum Worthy.
Lee Thompson young did have some rap songs out too he was dope! 🔥
About 20 years ago... this was just normal. It was simple and represented so much of America! It was beautiful and made everyone proud of how the generations of those time were! Love, unity and celebrating our differences! What this was considered normal in it's time... And it was a very great time we all shared.
But now it feels like there this massive surge of people who want us to hate the flag, hate people just for being themselves... They want to force people apart and divide us... Even telling kids they were born wrong... What happened to things? I think we need to remind people of These times of Expression in our country!
Man you are soo spot on. Someone literally made a video reaction to these saying that they promoted war 🤦🏾♂️
@@DarkManX16 That's crazy.... Though at the same time, I've been looking around for these! Those expressions of what was so common at the time where people were about these things. Where we Love was far stronger than any hate. Then it seemed to turn over on it's head against somewhere around 6-10 years ago... Makes me wonder what happened. Perhaps we need to share these again to remind people, we were already celebrating our diversity. And helping out our fellows.
@@Dragonorder18 exactly it's like they're actively trying to erase the progress we achieved or were trying to achieve in the past and take credit for doing something that's already been done
@@DarkManX16 Whether intentional or not, this did quite literally bolster public perception in favor of the war, and Disney is no stranger to making propaganda.
@@DarkManX16 Exactly what “progress” are you referring to? America was just as shitty then as it is now. Don’t let these little commercials fool you. Violence, division, and corruption were always at the core of this country. It was just easier to hide it back then
Frankie Muniz was also the voice of Chester McBadbat on Fairly OddParents until he was replaced by Jason Marsden mid-way through season 3.
Ironically, Jason is the one narrating these TV spots!
@@theluigifan1 He also took over as the voice as Max Goof from Dana Hill starting with A Goofy Movie.
@@JHollowayNetwork Probably his most notable role
@@theluigifan1 He's also the voice of Tino on The Weekenders (He also used the same Tino-like voice his incarnation of Chester).
Is it just me, or is the background music the instrumental for "Steal My Sunshine" by Len?
It definitely is, which itself is built around a repeated sample from More, More, More by the Andrea True Connection
People keep saying this but if you listen to everything else in the music besides the prominent reverb drenched woodblock (an iconic feature of “Steal My Sunshine”), it’s not the actual instrumental. It’s likely original music that was composed specifically for these PSAs which was made to mimic that type of sound.
So 2000s
I was busy posting 9/11 was an inside job on my xanga in middle school
21:53. That was actually funny 😂
Loved these
Kirsten Storms had a shoulder-level haircut by the time she filmed the "Express Yourself" PSAs (she even mentioned it in one ad).
What ad?
@@DarkManX16 There was one segment in which Kirsten Storms mentions that she cut her hair off (she had the shoulder-level haircut while filming "Zenon: The Zequel").
Disney Channel 9/11
This feels like a very exhaustive list but I'm sure there was one where they all talked about their favorite music and I can't find it, for sure Shia LaBeouf in it. Has anyone stumbled upon that one? I'm trying to complete a 20 year old nostalgia journey.
It's in this video
@@DarkManX16 OMG I missed it, thank you so much! You are preserving history and doing some amazing work here, keep it up. Some of these are seared into my brain; I can't believe I remembered Shia LaBeouf talking about Elton John for 25 years without hearing it again until now. It was like having a song stuck in my head and until I heard it again it was just playing on repeat.
@@ChadSchommer 😊🙏🏾
I never seen this on Disney
It was a staple in the 2000's right after 9/11.
@@dchang11 ok
This was during 2001 and 2002
How did they put the logo there and make it shine?
6:34
ngl this music sounds like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch music
Disney Channel Old
I barely remember these, insane. Why in the hell is Whoopi in these? She ain’t got no business being apart of these. The world I grew up in no longer exists.
5:02 Oh man this aged like milk
1:18. It’s Walter White!
Don’t forget to Give Me All The Names of TV Shows & Cartoon Shows for The Disney Channel for 1985 to 2008
Back when people stood for the flag…
Not Trump.
& they didn’t actively burn the flag.
I burned the flag then and I burn the flag now
😅😆
The dating one especially but… I took a page from Lee. Case in point my wife is 48. I’m 33. And we were friends for months before we knew we needed to be a couple.
shia labeouf?
Yes, where’s the confusion
Was malcom in the Middle on Disney channel?
They gather teen actors from every where that they could for this not just Disney.
No, it was just a popular show in the age demographic these ads were targeted to. Disney Channel wasn’t as self contained during this period as they would become in later years. They acknowledged the outside world and didn’t try to sugar coat everything as much.
A lot of the messaging here seems poorly aged :/
they were lying for their lives here
devastating propaganda
0:16 Is that the elderly chick from Sister Act?
Yes
@@lamarlowery7322 What's her name?
@@alalahoward1299 Whoopi Goldberg
@@lamarlowery7322 Currently, she is hosting "The View" with Joy Behar.
When Disney was awake but now they woke
💯
What are you even talking about lmao? If these were on Disney channel today you weirdos would be complaining they're "woke" for talking about diversity. Pick a lane.
Back when
Christy Romano is such a beauty here.
