In August 1997 Disney shutdown the Disney Afternoon block bringing an end to one of the greatest kids programs ever put on TV. However, Disney wasn’t done making cartoons. One month later Disney launched a new program known as Disney’s One Saturday Morning. Just like the name suggest this was a five hour block that […]

Disneytoon-cember Part 13: Mighty Ducks
Duck rocks! Remember that saying? If you don’t, don’t worry because nobody said it. Mighty Ducks was the last show to be featured on the Disney Afternoon show and the most bizarre out of all of them as it had nothing to do with the original movie whatsoever. The only thing they had in common […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 12: Quack Pack
Since ducks were such a hit with kids in the past Disney decided to once again go back to them and since Ducktales was such a huge hit they decided to bring Huey, Dewey, and Louie back in their new show Quack Pack. When I was a kid I use to like this show a […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 11: Aladdin the Animated series
This was the first movie that Disney turned into a toon. Now Aladdin was a good movie. I remember watching it a lot as a kid and enjoying it (mostly because I had a crush on Jasmine. Don’t judge me). The story was good, the characters were good, it had good songs, and a pretty […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 10: Timon and Pumbaa
After the failure of Shnookums and Meat, Disney decided that if they couldn’t come up with any new and creative ideas they would use ideas they already had. Because of this we got a lot of toons based off of Disney’s most popular movies at the time. One of those movies was The Lion King […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 9: Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show
Boy Disney did you mess up big time with this show. Back in 1995 when Nickelodeon and Disney were competing against each other Nickelodeon was said to have the advantage with their edgy shows like Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life. Not wanting to fall behind them Disney decided to create their own edgy […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 8: Bonkers
After Gargoyles Disney went through a drought on creativity so instead they decided to just throw out a bunch of shows and see what stuck. One of the shows that stuck was Bonkers a show about an anthropomorphic bobcat who was once a popular cartoon star but soon washed out and became a cop. His […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 7: Gargoyles
Disney’s answer to Batman: The Animated Series. Gargoyles was the show that took Disney to a realm that nobody knew existed. The show focuses on a group of Gargoyles led by Goliath who guard a castle in medieval Scotland. They’re stone by day but at night they come alive and become the defenders of the […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 6: Goof Troop
As kids were getting older Disney decided to appeal more to their age by staying hip and creating a show that kids could identify with. So they decided to move away from ducks and instead move on to dogs with their show Goof Troop. Goof Troop really doesn’t have much story to it. It’s just […]
Disneytoon-cember Part 5: Darkwing Duck
Hands down my favorite Disneytoon of all time. A majority I talk to say that Ducktales was the greatest Disneytoon but in my opinion it was Duckwing Duck all the way. The show was basically a parody of Batman only with a more comedic edge and geared more towards children. The show basically focuses on […]
