  • Disney Afternoon was a syndicated television animation block on weekday afternoons during the 1990s. It brought with it a television animation renaissance. Shows like Darkwing Duck, Talespin, and Goof Troop brought to life new big budget animation on tv which prompted more cartoons to up their game.

    I was in my early 20s when Disney Afternoon started, and I loved these shows. They had such a quality show with excellent stories. Such a departure from the kid shows that were clearly there just to sell product (He-man, GI Joe, Gobots). I was surprised to find my dad was watching Tail Spin every morning while getting ready for work He wasn't the cartoon type but he really loved it. When Bonkers came out though, it seemed really dumbed down. It was all about gags, but it was rarely funny. I looked up this video because I was thinking about how it just all went down the drain after that. With the exception of Aladdin, which I just watched for that segment.

    I grew up on all things Disney because my dad didn't spend money on cable television. I was there for Disney's Afternoon to ABC'S One Saturday Morning. I think it made kids back then appreciate what they watched more as you couldn't just watch it anytime you wanted. You had to make an effort to find out when it was on in your area and set that time to watch the block.

    It’s ironic that Mickey Mouse never got a show on the block. This was because Eisner wanted a Mickey Mouse show to be amazing and perfect, since he’s the mascot and afraid of his reputation being ruined. But by the time they came up with amazing ideas for him, the block got cancelled.

Ducktales definitely helped jump start an addiction lol. But I started long before that with toons like transformers, heman, the Thundercats and so many others. Disney afternoon just kept it going for me. This was definitely a huge turning point for animation. 80s and into the 90s had some of the greatest animation ever created.

    I wasn't around in the 90s, so this video was very informative. I only knew about Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Talespin, and Gargoyles and haven't seen anything other than a couple episodes of Ducktales. I had no idea how much impact that Disney had on the world of television animation, but I guess I owe them all these amazing shows that I have had the privelege of growing up on. I really only started really watching cartoons lately (like analyzing, etc.) and I have been finding that while older movies tend to be better than newer ones, the opposite is true for television. Nowhere is this more aparent than in the world of animation. Today, animated shows for audiences of all ages tend to be serialized narratives with complex characters and mature themes. Disney is doing especially good with this with Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and the amazing Ducktales reboot among others.

    • @ModernMouse
      @ModernMouse  Před 3 lety +7

      There is something to be said about a show like The Flintstones. Its brainless fun, but definitely not peak animation. Since the 90s we've had those serialized high budget shows that you can get wrapped up in and the last 10 years or so have had amazing shows. Gravity Falls is probably the best animated show I've ever seen.

I still remember my grandma collecting the Ducktales figures when they were prizes in certain cereals. Those were the days. Ducktales and Talespin are my two favorites but I did enjoy Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck too. I was more into the Duck characters and the Jungle Book characters that I grew more fond of those two shows more but I watched them all and still do till this day. If anyone were to ask me to sit down and watch me some Disney Afternoon you better believe I'll join in.

Ducktales were cool but I wasn't a HUGE fan of the series because I was more into Chip n' Dale and Talespin at that time. But it was so hard to juggle what I wanted to watch after school when Fox Kids started throwing out some heavy hitters during their afternoon block with Batman, X-Men, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. That's when I just became an occasional watcher of Disney Afternoon. I remember every time there was a rerun showing of Power Rangers, I just watch Gargoyles that had new episodes on Fridays lol.

      I'm also a 1985 baby so we basically had the same TV and movie experiences. I'll admit that I didn't watch the Disney Channel shows much, but that's because my parents didn't have cable, and when I could visit my grandparents that did have cable my priorities at that point weren't Even Stevens. Personally I don't think the company took a dive post-Eisner. If anything they were spiraling with Eisner in charge after Katzenberg was let go and Frank Wells passed away. Iger coming in gave the company a different feel, some liked it and some didn't, but the company was in better hands after Eisner was replaced. The end of his run really wasn't great. Obviously Bob Chapek didn't work out, but I am hoping that Disney pivots once again with a new CEO after Iger leaves. They need a new fresh outlook.

    Thank you for this informative video! Not so much for me but for anyone who didn’t experience this. If you were a kid with family issues, whether that be a missing father, mother, poverty or any of the millions of issues that too many kids have, these shows were an escape from those realities. Or they can represent memories like a look back into a more simple time if your childhood wasn’t so bad. A lot of us can picture the couches and living rooms we rushed home to be in for these shows. And once they were done for the day we were back outside!

I think it's great we can watch TV shows whenever we want now, but it was nice knowing that your shows aren't on so playing outside meant you didn't miss anything. In a way, the streaming model has made it so that there is always something to watch and it discourages going outside and being social with others and getting fresh air and exercise.

On the other hand, I grew up with Playhouse Disney on air in the late 2000s/ early 2010s. I would spend a lot of time at this one family-friend’s house as a toddler and we’d watch it all morning while eating breakfast. It holds a lot of fondness and nostalgia in my heart.

    I think that my FAVORITE Disney Afternoon cartoon is Timon and Pumbaa... not just because the lion king is my favorite disney movie, but because i am a SUPER fan of animals AND comedy... (not to mention that timon and pumbaa are my favorite characters from the 1994 movie)

    • @ModernMouse
      @ModernMouse  Před 2 lety

      Timon and Pumbaa was solid as far as spin off shows went. Instead of trying to bring back an entire cast of characters, it was nice to see what these two characters did before or after their time with Simba because they lived full lives outside of their roles in the Lion King. It was also genius because I remember a time when shows like this would be followed up with a show where a host would go out and actually show you real animals in the wild....so it got a ton of kids into animals and nature.

      If I had to make an educated guess, I doubt it. I think Disney would rather push people to sign up for Disney+.

    The Disney Afternoon schedule was like in 1990-91 on my Fox affiliate WTTG/5 when I was in Hyattsvile, Maryland/Washington, D.C. during that time:
    3:00pm - Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears
    3:30pm - Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers
    4:00pm - Duck Tales
    4:30pm - Tale Spin

    Where I lived in Canada, the Disney Afternoon was a Saturday afternoon block, not an after school block. It was all those core shows like Ducktales, Tale Spin, and whatnot. I was very fond of it, but I could tell that it was running out of steam post-Bonkers. All the good shows like Chip and Dale, Darkwing Duck, and Gargoyles were getting replaced by those late stage shows like Shnookums and Meat. A few execeptions to the whole thing were Mighty Ducks and Quack Pack, which didn't play during the Disney Afternoon, and the movie animated series, which all played on Saturday mornings and I think later in weekday syndication. I'm not sure when Quack Pack actually aired, as I only remember it playing midday on weekdays on a local channel (not the national affiliate station the Disney Afternoon block was on).
    It's funny that the FCC was going after shows like this, given the shameless BS that was the 80s and early 90s. Although there were toys, none of these shows were toy commercials like Transformers, He-man, or TMNT. And none of them were the insane fever dreams of the 70s, which I'm sure got kids to take drugs. These were good shows and were the least predatory of kids programming.

    • @ModernMouse
      @ModernMouse  Před rokem

      Quack Pack played as part of Disney Afternoon starting in 1996. I believe it actually came after Bonkers had ended so it was late stage Disney Afternoon. All of the other big hit shows were gone by that point beyond Gargoyles.

    Great run through. Did you know that Disney Afternoon still runs on flow tv here in Denmark to this day? The Danish national Channel DR (Danmarks Radio) adapted the show back in the 90s like probably many other countries. But instead of afternoons it aired every Friday evening at seven a clock and was called Disney Sjov (Disney Fun). And it’s still on every Friday with some of the old classics and some newer shows always with breaks of the Disney classics shorts like Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse etc. and no commercial breaks. Same format, every Friday ever since the 90s. :)
