Disney XD is a digital cable and satellite television channel in the United States, which is aimed at males aged 7— The channel was launched on February 13, , replacing predecessor Toon Disney , carrying action and comedy programming from Disney Channel and the former Jetix block from Toon Disney along with some first-run original programming and off-network syndicated shows.
The channel carries the same name as an unrelated mini-site and media player on Disney. On May 26, , Disney-ABC Television Group announced the launch of a new hour preschool-targeted digital cable and satellite channel as Disney Junior , which launched on March 23, ; the Disney Junior channel which will be commercial-free, like parent network Disney Channel but unlike SOAPnet, which is replaced, and Disney XD will compete with other preschooler-skewing cable channels, such as Nick Jr.

Disney Junior will take over the channel space currently held by Disney-ABC Television Group-owned SOAPnet a channel airing soap operas , with the closure of SOAPnet citing the continued decrease in popularity of the soap opera genre on broadcast television and the growth of video on demand including the online streaming availability for soap operas and digital video recorders negating the need for a linear channel devoted to the format.

Experts criticize the company for programming that has pulled away from the characters that the network's parent company, the Walt Disney Company was based on: Mickey Mouse , Donald Duck , and Goofy , and thus some of Disney's most loyal fans have gone so far to say that the network is no longer really a Disney Channel.
Other critics disapprove of the marketing strategy made by Anne Sweeney, the President of ABC-Disney Television Group, which makes the programs on Disney Channel geared mainly toward pre-teen girls and teenage girls. Sweeney had also said that the main goal of the programming on Disney Channel was not solely to entertain, but to also make money, officially stating that Disney Channel would be "the major profit driver for the Walt Disney Company.
Most fans criticized the lack of animated programs and the overabundance of sitcoms on the channel, particularly during the early-to-mid s when most animated programs were transferred to Disney XD, forcing viewers to get the premium channel to access this type of programs, when other networks, like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon simply have animated programs on their main channels without the need to access their respective extra channels, Boomerang and Nicktoons.
This however has began to change towards the end of the decade, as most animated programs, such as Star vs. The channel has also pulled episodes even once having to re-shoot an episode that featured subject matter either deemed inappropriate due to its humor, the timing of the episode's airing with real-life events or subject matter considered inappropriate for Disney Channel's target audience.

They both were pulled from the network's airing cycle due to eating disorder references.
On May 17, , a new episode of Jessie , titled " Quitting Cold Koala " was pulled due to a gluten free diet reference.
Like the Hannah Montana episode, an on-demand preview was seen, parents were mad, and the episode was pulled from its airing schedule. On July 5, , the episode aired, with the gluten free diet references edited out.

Season 2 of The Mandalorian still feels like a galaxy far, far away. Shorten the time by watching this engaging, frequently illuminating documentary series.
Simply put, these revitalized Mickey Mouse shorts are truly essentially. There are also more Easter eggs — to other Disney properties, theme park attractions and movies — than you could possibly count. The characterization of Mickey Mouse himself, completed by stellar voicework by Christopher Diamantopoulos yes, Russ Hanneman from Silicon Valley and Mickey Mouse are the same man , is vital.
Rudish, Diamantopoulos and the unbelievable creative team injects much-needed personality and psychological depth into a character that has, in decades past, become a bland corporate symbol.
If you think these Mickey Mouse shorts are just for kids, think again — this is sophisticated, deeply funny animation. These are basically hour-long screensavers, as you watch the various Disney Parks spring to life at the start of each new day. This might sound silly, but its subtly profound; it allows you to drink in the majesty of these parks, the awesomeness of their design and the true limitlessness of their imagination.
The Animal Kingdom one is even better because you can hear all the animals rustling awake, including the gaggle of parrots that fly at the base of the Tree of Life. At the time, Disney Animation Studio was firing on all cylinders, with top-notch satellites all over the world, and you can see and feel that quality in the relentlessly entertaining Darkwing Duck.
You'll never look at rooftop gargoyles the same way after watching Gargoyles. The mythology at the heart of the storycenters on the title characters: stone gargoyles by day, defenders of the innocent at night.
The group of gliding gargantuans, led by Goliath, have a contentious relationship with humans that stretches back more than 1, years and continues into the present day. These relics of the past, from a world of "superstition and the sword", find themselves flung into our modern era where science, technology, and advanced weaponry make their very existence even more perilous. This surprisingly dark and dramatic Disney show was on par with Batman: The Animated Series back in the '90s, and remains solid even today.
It's developed sort of a cult following thanks to its memorable characters, Shakespearean thematic material, and powerful performances from voice actors like Keith David , Salli Richardson-Whitfield , Ed Asner , Jonathan Frakes , and Marina Sirtis , among many others. It's impressive that the original idea, created by a committee of sorts, still holds up among the best of the best animated series today.
