Out of order

Disney Channel Shows are out of order. Can someone rearange the Phil of the Future episodes so they are in order, and the Hannah Montana episodes are still confusing me.

Playhouse Disney Page

The Playhouse Disney Page is off to a good start but it has no history and is just a list of programs so...if anyone could help...:)

Explaining Revert

The fact that this entity is owned by the Walt Disney Company is mentioned in the article and in the article's catigorization. Therefore, the items added to the see also section are unnecessary. Gentgeen 06:02, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

there was a movie in the late 80s/ early 90s that was about tom sawyer and huck finn. it wasnt the one with elijish wood either. it was with a few no name stars in it and i loved it. i cant find it anywhere...there was a scene in the beginning of it where tom and huck help people cheat in a card game by hiding in the attic and looking at other players cards through holes in the ceiling....i dont know if that rings any bells but it was an awesome flick and i cant find it anywhere and i know i saw it on the disney channel as a kid....if anyone knows anything about it email me @ jdasla@aol.com

thank you

Hey, I'm trying to find some information on something that just popped into my head but I'm not so sure about it and I was wondering if anyone older than me (or with a better memory) might be able to help. When I was younger, I'm not sure how young exactly, but it was somewhere in the early 90s, I seem to remember there being a show on the Disney Channel that was... a live action Alice in Wonderland? I'm not really sure. It was a series, and I remember it being Alice in Wonderland, but I could be wrong... I just know that I loved it very much and I don't remember anything about it. If it really was an Alice show, I would love to know more information as I am going through a little Alice phase right now and searching for information on Alice and different versions of it. If you know anything about it, please e-mail me at hermionebubble@aol.com and help me out! Thanks! <3 Shivers

Hi! Being a fan of the old Disney Channel stuff, I have the answers to your questions right here.

1. The movie described in the first comment is Tom and Huck from 1995, starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
2. Adventures in Wonderland was the name of the show (I used to love it!).

Well, anyway, I'm listing shows for a new category in progress (see shows like DuckTales and Even Stevens for examples) that will partly help to revive the memory of the better channel of the past.

I'll let you know when the new category is created. See you all soon! --Slgrandson 19:30, 25 May 2005 (UTC)--

Disney Channel Original Movies

Apparently some editors for this page consider it a significant distinction that in 1997, Disney Channel started labeling its original movies as "Disney Channel Original Movies" (DCOMs). Thus, the list of the 45 original movies made for the channel from 1983 to 1997 (Tiger Town, Gone Are the Dayes, and many others) have been deleted from this page because they were not referred to as DCOMs. Does it make a major difference that the DCOM phrase is used to refer to post-1997 movies, or is this just a technicality? --Metropolitan90 03:51, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

I think that the usage of the term probably would've applied to earlier movies, had the term have been around then. Therefore, the 1983-1996 TV movies that premiered on the Disney Channel should also be listed, but perhaps they should be in a different list. --Nintendo Maximus

DCOM Fraud

Entry Data 9.12.05>> = There's someone on here that keeps making horrible pages for DCOM. Like the last two movies listed. I would fix them and all, but it's taking up valuable time. Getting the posters, info, cast, and the box at the bottom. The other pages were good though. It's the first time in months somebody besides me did some pages. The TWITCHES page was the worse. I've never seen such trash. I know I wasn't such hot stuff when I started out but at least I could spell. (no offense to fraud) --User:Allenk893--

'Promo logo'

I've copied this from Image talk:Disneyident.jpg:

What does a 'promo logo' mean? It doesn't fit in with any of the other logos on the Disney Channel page...isn't it one of the idents used by the Disney Channel UK when they launched? BillyH 16:44, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Response: By 'Promo', what I mean is that it was used temporarily by Disney Channel during 1995. Probably to promote a happy halloween perhaps.

User:Allenk893 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Disney Channel Changes

I don't know what to do. Most of these pages were worked hard by everyone. Why are the movie pages being erased? They've been there for months. Especially the Twitches page. Since it was a wreck at first, I simply trie to fix it by adding a summarization,cast, and external links. As usual. I don't know why whoever tried to erase it. It was better than the previous deleted ones.

User:Allenk893 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Brother, I agree. Something is wrong with Disney Channel. We don't need "Lizzie McGuire" or "Kim Possible". NO! Bring us back to the good old days when we could look forward to the Mickey Mouse Club or Adventures in Wonderland! Stop messing with our Disney Channel!

Logos

Is it really necessary to show every Disney Channel logo ever used? I say show the current one, maybe the original one, and that's it. tregoweth 01:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

BRING THE 80's LOGOS BACK! It's a reminder of what Disney Channel once was (and hopefully will be again someday).

Fate of Jetix

What's going on with Jetix???? Is it REALLY moving to Disney Channel? Will this chaos ever stop??????

What is Disney thinking????

As you may not know, I am a silent advocate for this network (The Disney Channel). I grew up with the old logo (when free previews were on). Mom taped movies from the channel when they had these previews. When Disney changed its logo the first time, I thought it was OK. When they took away some great shows, I didn't like it as much. But NOW, Disney Channel's going to have actual COMMERCIALS! That's the dumbest thing I've EVER heard! Forgive me for shouting but: WHAT IS DISNEY THINKING???????? What are they doing to itself????? Does it have to be like every kids channel in the world? What is going on? 71.111.209.99 15:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Are they Reeally going to have real commercials that advertise things that are not advertising disney channel stuff? Do you know when they are going to start showing real commercials? I wish they would not play playhouse disney channel, I think they should make a new channel for that. They should do that. --Sirideroo

Jetix and Commercials

I can't believe there will be commercials. Jetix on Disney? What the heck? This is so wrong.

I can't believe it either. What happened to the carefree days of the early 90's Disney Channel? Our network is corrupted! 71.111.209.99 22:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I read that only WITCH will be on Disney Channel. That's a relief. I never liked that show anyway. 71.111.209.99 01:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

It looks like our troubles may be over. ALL RIGHT! 71.111.209.99 12:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I hope so. I really don't like W.I.T.C.H though. I guess it's a small price to pay. I wish they would make a large variety of shows before repeating them. Like have shows air on certain days at certain times so all can be seen. Why have the same shows on abc, disney, Toon disney, and abc family?

Disney is funny like that. They figure the more shows they air on different networks, the more money they get. It all boils down to the almighty dollar. Would Walt Disney (bless his soul) want it that way? 206.211.69.253 12:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

If anyone could contribute and build up the Playhouse Disney Page that would be cool

I know we would have more things to learn from Disney channel page, also we would learn alot more about the history of Disney from this page, and alot more interesting things we never knew!

The Campaign to Save Disney Shows

Does this section belong in Wikipedia? I think it was just inserted as part of the "Save Phil of the Future" campaign. The IP who added it (64.231.72.50), has contributed almost exclusively to the "The Campaign to Save Disney Shows" section of this article and Phil of the Future (and specifically the "The Campaign to Save Phil of the Future" section). His/her only other contribution was inserting negative (and false), now removed information in Hannah Montana, the show which many feel is POTF's replacement. Does anyone else see any reason why this section should or should not be removed or edited, or links to the campaign's website deleted? Gaagaagiw 08:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Well Haversham Hall is the show that is replacing Phil, not Hannah Montana. --Sirideroo

Hannah Montana favority

Do not add people to the Circle of stars that have not even sung a song with them. Someone added Jason Earles, Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, and Mitchel Musso to the circle of stars. Please do not do this again!!

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and Timon and Pumbaa are now back on disney at 12:30 and 1:00. So Don't Delete them from Disney Channel today.

Zoogs and Money

You barely see any Non disney commercials, how does this channel make any money? Also Zoogs should be explained more. Also, what happened to the Zoogs? They took them off Disney.

I believe that happened when Disney changed logos. I would assume that given the fact that there are no Zoog traces in the channel today.

I do not know how Disney makes money, but the ABC and ESPN commercials help, most likely. I don't even know why they don't have commercials: I think it's because of the controversy with junk food sales. -TrackerTV 23:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Criticism section

Shouldn't there be a section that describes the criticism that Disney Channel gets?

Logo

We need a better logo for this page! CAN SOMEONE GET A BEETER ONE ON THERE. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.63.18.184 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

Now I think is so much better than the old one..

Who changed the official logo with the outline blue?? Is the official one...

Update

Someone won't let me update this :"Occasionally, Disney will secure the rights to air a picture released by a non-Disney studio, such as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Bob the Butler and Little Secrets." People, Disney Channel hasn't aired Bob the Butler, and Little Secrets for more than a year! Beethoven and The Littlest Vampire seem like better choices.

I don't really think it matters, the selection of third-party movie varies greatly and some only air a few times and never again. The paragraph says such as so that could mean examples of third-party titles and not exactly examples of recently aired films, so either way seems valid. Thank You. 53180 00:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)53180.

what happened to the disney channel origianl series page, someome deleted alot of stuff! --Sirideroo--

Editing to Non-Disney Channel Shows

Can someone give me an example of how disney edited a show that they didn't made?

An example would be cutting out a scene that the channel considers inappropriate or editing out a word considered appropriate by either re-dubbing the word or having a breif audio pause. Thank You. 53180 00:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)53180.

Commercial Success

I think their should be an article on the commercial success of High School Musical, The Cheetah Girls 2 and Hannah Montana. We should include the Platinum plus soundtrack sales, DVD sales, high grossing concert tours and merchandise. 172.129.162.118 04:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I honestly don't think that is a very good idea because having an article on commercial success doesn't make sense, however I think that informaiton would be fitting on each of those particular titles' pages. Thank You. 53180 00:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)53180.

Money?

How does the disney channel make money for disney?

• The short answer is that the cable television operating companies pay Disney Channel a monthly fee for each household which receives the Disney Channel. Disney Channel is in about 90 million homes in the United States, and it was reported last year that the average license fee was 80 cents per month per subscriber. If that's correct, that would be about $72,000,000 in license fees per month, or about $864 million a year.

For the long answer, keep in mind that the expenses of producing the channel's original programming and acquiring rights to show movies and shows produced by other companies would get charged against that, as well as all the other expenses of operating the channel.

In addition, some of the channel's original programming generates significant merchandising income (DVDs of the shows, CD soundtracks, videogames based on the shows, etc.) but I don't know how exactly Disney apportions that income among its various companies and divisions. --Metropolitan90 07:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Not sure but...

Is there a way to contrast both the success of this channel in recent years with the criticism by many who feel that, in going to its current tween-oriented programming, it traded its heritage away?

If possible or impossible, please comment. WAVY 10 01:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Let me clarify. Can this be done WITHOUT submitting vandalism? WAVY 10 22:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

The Disney Channel article has been completely vandalized and destroyed beyond repair by some Disney hater. I can't repeat what he said, but he completely erased the page and wrote some derrogatory comments against Disney.

Serious Annoying Issues

I came to this page looking for information on series that Disney ran in the early 90's, such as Ocean Girl and Flash Forward and found nothing. Is there a page or list for non-Disney Channel Original Series that ran on the channel? If you're concerned about the length of this article, maybe there should be. 16 June 2007

Yeah, that's something I want to mention, someone has delted the page for Flash Forward, there used to be one under 1997 but now it is gone, however there has never ever been one for Ocean Girl as I don't think it is a Disney Channel Original Series.

Disney 411

does anyone know why they changed disney 411 to disney 365?

Because it suited more, I suppose.

They used to have "Disney's Secret Lab" back when Kingdom Hearts first came out, but I guess that didn't fit the image well enough.

Music Videos

I want there to actually be a page detailing the lists of songs by Disney Channel Stars. Also, there should eb a page stating the names of all Disney Channel Styars.

Future Projects

There should be a page detailing future projects on Disney Channel it could be general and people cpuld update when the upcoming thing has actually aired. The page should talk about upcoming films such as Dadnapped, Cheetah Girls 3, Twitches Too! Also it could talk about Wizrads of Waverly Place and Phineas and Ferb. Furthermore, it should say about upcoming programming blocks and upcoming remodels. Also, I concur with the comment that someone is vandalising as many pages have disappered, then reappeared and some haven't (example Twitches Too, disappeared then reappeared!") Tjhere should be mroe info on the network in general aswell!

You don't include anything about future events in Wikipedia, honey.

Then why is there lots of pages about upcoming films and all sorts of other stuff, so what you just said is absolutley not true.

If there were pages related to future projects, they must have been sourced or verified. I don't think this page is the place to put future projects, as even current works are on spin-off pages such as List of Disney Channel series. Thank You. 53180 00:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)53180.

I was not the one to add that piece of information, no source that I am aware of at this moment, however future scheduling suggests it will be back to a regular schedule, such as the Kim Possible marathon starting at noon each day, which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, at which at this point in time the Disney Channel programs start airing at 10/9 central and not 12/11 central as the promotion states.

I'm new at this, but it seems there are no citations on this page. Is there a reason why there are none? If not, can I add a "citations needed" template? Thanks in advance. Monkeynoze 19:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

No, I think you were right to put the template up Monkeynoze, only because I have to agree a little bit that the page could use more citations, just not everywhere because some items are common knowledge. Just a few items I think could back up the information on tis article and the template makes other editors and readers aware of that. Good work Monkeynoze!

How does the Channel pay for itself?

I came here hoping to find the answer, but found nothing. Other channels like TNT, USA, et cetera support themselves with revenue-generating advertising, but Disney doesn't seem to have any. How do they pay for their various original shows? - Theaveng 20:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Cable and satellite operators pay the channels (including ones that air commercials). There are few exceptions, like the C-SPANs and some religious channels. —tregoweth (talk) 01:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Right. It's called the "subscriber fee" which is about 50-100 cents per cable channel per home. But even that is not enough to operate a channel's costs, which is why stations like TNT, USA, SciFi, CNN, FX, etcetera run commercials. The billions of dollars collected from commercials allows those channels to pay for original series like The Closer, 4400, Galactica, and the Shield.

Which leads me back to my original question: How does Disney pay for their various original shows? Is Disney's subscriber fee some unusually high amount like 5.00 per home? I was hoping to find the answer here at wiki, but it's not addressed. Thanks. - Theaveng 14:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I have seen articles describing the overall Disney business plan and how they use Disney Channel to plug their own tie-in products. Disney Channel IS more expensive than other basic cable channels but basically Disney Channel is advertiser driven - the advertiser is exclusively Disney though, plugging other shows, movies, CDs and generally driving demand for Disney related products from all Disney business units. I will look for a cite we can use so we can add this info to the article. --NrDg 15:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I changed the section on Promotions to Business Model, moved Theaveng's details about cable fees to the section and added cited info about how Disney Channel supports all of Disney. --NrDg 15:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Protection

When I went to "Disney Channel" site on Wikipedia today, I realized that 3/4 of the page was changed so that "Disney Channel" was replaced by "Star Channel". Disney Channel obviously did not change their name, so I placed a protection banner on it to expire December 15, 2007. If any registered users believe that the banner is premature, please feel free to remove it before the 15th. The logo is also gone, so we need a new one of those. Thank you for your help and understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Idol 2006 (talk • contribs) 13:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The easiest way to get rid of a bunch of corruption is just to restore to an earlier good version - which I did. Just undoing the bad changes piecemeal runs the risk of not getting everything and not restoring good stuff that was removed. Also you need to request a page protect to get the page protected - see WP:RPP for information on how to do it - the tag is just a message, it doesn't do anything. In this case the vandalism appears light so I don't think a protect is indicated just yet. --NrDg 20:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

i heard that there is a possible new show by the name of The Amazing O'Relliys. I'm not sure how you spell it though —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calliegal (talk • contribs) 00:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

You may be thinking of "The Amazing O'Malleys"; the show which is now "Wizards of Waverly Place". WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 15:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Disney HD is also on Comcast. I know this because I am watching it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.11.183 (talk) 03:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Disney may have a hidef channel but I have yet to see them broadcast one HD show or movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvferret (talk • contribs) 00:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

They showed Twitches Too in high def last night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.11.183 (talk) 03:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

What service do you have? I didnt check last night if it was in HD but why arent any of there shows in HD? Have they not upgraded thier cameras? Ok I just checked the guide, it seems that only some of the kid shows shown earlier in the day and the movie at night are now in HD but nothing else.Dvferret (talk) 11:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Subliminal Messages?

Excuse me, but the Disney Channel does not use subliminal messages. RocketMaster (talk) 11:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Does this make any sense to anyone here?

Disney Channel has friends KTTV and KCOP

Summer 2008 Schedule

I would like to point out that Disney Channel started it's summer schedule on May 15, 2008. I also noticed that no one has updated the schedule box on here for the current schedule. The day starts at 12:00 Noon with a movie. Some one can find the current schedule on Disney Channel's website. I have started editing the schedule on Wikipedia, someone may need to clean it up as well.

Danradlover (talk) 04:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I've edited it as much as I could. I took some of the times off, but I'll clean it up more later on.vI'll also try to get more information on that too.

Alec2011 (talk) 10:42 PM, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Considering the channel shows The Suite Life of Zack and Cody at 10:00 a.m. EST, I think their summer schedule starts at that time. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I'll be editing the time into two different time slots. The Times 10:00-3:30 and 4:00-10:00, that way it's not so meshed together.

[EDIT]

I've edited it into two time slots for Disney Channel's Totally Rockin' Summer Schedule. Times of shows/movies and which episode will vary, but it would probaably be the same every week.

Disney Channel in Spain

Im Trying to add a reference and to revise the fact that they will broadcast Disney Channel in Spain to promote digital TV adoption in the wiki, but anti-spam software keeps on reverting it. Help on adding a reference to it. I browsed in the wikipedia external links policy and I think press releases are not accepted here as it is my reference.

Missing Section

Does anyone know why there is nothing about the channel from the 1990's until the Zoog format's debut in 1997? WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 16:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I've started this section in response. And, in addition, I'll start a PR soon. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 21:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

2012 Summer Olympics

"Disney Channel will air in the 2012 Summer Olympics." Someone put that under the disney channel History section 2007-present. I am going to delete it. If someone has a reliable source then they can add it. I highly doubt this is true though. --24.63.18.184 (talk) 02:02, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Cory in the House replaces Phil of the Future

Is Phil of the Future will be replaced by Cory in the House @ 12:30am ET after That's So Raven starting this month? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.127.178.158 (talk) 16:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes it is, Phil of the Future will no longer be played on Disney Channel. Check out the new Fall 2008 Disney Channel Schedule. Thanks, :D - Alec2011 (talk) 16:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

What's the Diff?

What is the difference between the DC logo listed as current and the one listed as 2002-07? WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 18:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Precisely nil. Would recommend deleting the '08 one. Malpass93 (talk) 19:10, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

There is a difference, because the newer one is more percise, and it's not as flat as the other one, it's more 3-Dish. It say's "Disney Channel's Current logo released along with new bumpers in January 2007," which means it was introdiced with new Bumpers. So there is no need for a deletion. Thanks, :D. - Alec2011 (talk) 01:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Sister Channels

Somebody took ABC, ABC Family, and SOAPnet off the Sister Channels. They left Toon Disney on. Could somebody fix it?

Also, would ESPN be included in there, as well?

I do not think ESPN and Disney have a relationship. ESPN is a sports channel. Disney is a Family channel.--AJ44 (talk) 04:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I understand that, but they are all owned by The Walt Disney Company.

Disney does own ESPN because they own ABC which owns ESPN. Matrix8110 (talk) 19:06, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Toon Disney is more of a "sister" channel, as I recall back in 1998 or 1999, whenever the channel was debuting, Disney Channel aired promos of Toon Disney, and Toon Disney aired promos for shows and events on the Disney Channel. ABC Family is marching to it's own drum. With all of its old sitcoms and WB dramas, it's sister channel would be Nick at Nite, it that wasn't owned by Viacom. As for who owns what, yes, ESPN and its sub-channels are owned by Disney, but I don't see Monday Night Football's boothers going, "And for those of you up later, watch Hanna Montana on Disney Channel...", so no, it's not a "sister" channel. Disney also co-owns A&E, Bio, History, Lifetime, LMN, E!, etc. The amount of investment for "ownership" is trivial, as, perhaps, Disney may own, say, just a 1% investment is A&E's channels over their other owners, etc. The over-the-air ABC Network itself could be a sister channel, but only for small events, such as Saturday Morning Cartoons, etc. Again, I don't see, during Ugly Betty, promos for Hannah Montana. Coffee4binky (talk) 05:05, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

ABC Family shows Disney Channel commercials sometimes, and vice versa.

Also, Disney Channel Original Movies don't usually come on any other channel, but Camp Rock came on Disney Channel, ABC, and ABC Family.

Logo

Is there an extra logo for Christmas,Valentine's Day or Mother's Day like in Germany? This could we add. --Shego123 (talk) 15:29, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Ink and Paint Club

I'm curious why "Ink and Paint Club" redirects to this article when there is no mention of it in the article itself? -- Duckyass (talk) 10:57, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

See old version of article and AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Ink and Paint Club. The contents of that article were supposed to be merged here. They either were at sometime, then deleted later; or never merged as it should have been - I didn't check. --NrDg 14:28, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Critiscism

While I'm happy for there to be a critiscism section the following is poorly written and contains no sources, hence I've reverted it to the previous revision. If you have sources please include them, then with re-writing this section can be saved (with the exception of the last line).

"While the Disney Channel enjoys widespread popularity. It is at the same victim to critiscism of its programming. Many crisize the channel for not showing much animated programming, the small amount of TV shows, the continious promotion of the disney corporation itself ,the fact that the channel will make use of the same actors over and over again for most of its shows, and high usage of the laugh track. The laugh track is used most frequently even at points where there is very little humor at all claim some opposers of the channel.

Another critiscism is the it is commercialized, teenyboderism. Claim highly vocal online bloggers."

Dpmuk (talk) 11:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I would agree that a criticism section would be better, just not one that is so...extreme. A good criticism section would make the article more neutral. At the moment, though, it more reads as an advertisement, going into unnecessary detail at times. There is almost no neutrality. I can't find one negative thing in the article. Macbeth30 (talk) 16:35, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Agree with Macbeth30. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 17:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree too. Each show also uses simmilar jokes, plots, and name one Disney show that dosn't have elderly people stereotypes. Also, don't parents worry that shows like Hannah Montanna teach girls to think they're supirior to boys, life is easy, and think that parent's arn't cool? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.100.129 (talk) 15:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Too much detail

I'm going to erase some of the non-important details in the article cause wikipedia says that it has too much detail that only certain ppl will be interested in and i agree after reading he article. I'm also going to delete a couple of the movies that it say'd disney had the permission to view cause there were way too many and some of them i've never seen disney air before.
