Bonkers

Bonkers was another of the Disney Afternoon cartoons, and one of the zaniest. It and Roger Rabbit led to the creation of Toontown. I didn't watch it until I had it on DVD.

TaleSpin

Who watched TaleSpin? It was another of the Disney Channel's best shows. It featured characters from the Jungle Book. A proper Jungle Book based show wouldn't come until Jungle Cubs.

Adventures of the Gummi Bears

Who watched Gummi Bears? I think the show took place in Wales. Despite the name there is no relation to the candy. Did you know the lead singer from Toto did the theme song? That's why it's so epic.

Darkwing Duck

Who used to love Darkwing Duck?

I didn't watch it as much. I paid more attention to the other shows. Maybe because they were adapted from the classic characters or films. I have it on DVD now.

The Wuzzles

The Wuzzles were a shortlived ripoff of the Care Bears, based on a line of plush toys that featured animal hybrids (such as Eleroo, an elephant/kangaroo hybrid). It only lasted 13 episodes. I only saw one episode.

Adventures in Wonderland

Who remembers Adventures in Wonderland? Disney's attempt to create an updated version of Alice in Wonderland. Alice is an average teenage girl. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are rappers. The White Rabbit uses inline skates.

A nice touch is that Alice visits Wonderland through a mirror.

Disney Channel late 80s/early 90s.

I don’t know the exact timeframe, I just remember listening to my mom cancel it when I started preschool. I remember the lady tried to convince her that she could record my shows on VHS since I would be at school during them.

My favorites from that era:

Care Bears Winnie the Pooh (new adventures?) Pooh’s Corner Under the Umbrella Tree Alice in Wonderland where the girl travelled back and forth through a mirror KIDS Incorporated Mickey Mouse Club

Any others people remember? Or comments on the ones I mention??

Disney Adventures Magazine

Does anybody remember reading Disney Adventures magazine? Began in I believe 1990 and ended in 2002 or 2003. It was like Reader's Digest for kids. It featured articles and stories relating to a topic kids would be interested in (cats, dogs, dinosaurs, outer space, sharks, etc.), comic adventures of some of the Disney Afternoon shows, but the best part was whenever a new Disney movie was coming out, they'd dedicate an entire issue the month before the movie was set to come out.

It featured interviews with some of the cast, a little background on the production, and some history on the story the movie is based on. It was all kid friendly, of course. It also featured a comic adaptation of the movie, usually consisting of the first five or ten minutes of the movie.

The magazine also featured interviews or profiles on celebrities. They interviewed Rick Moranis twice (once in one of the very early issues, again when Honey, I Blew Up The Baby was coming out to theaters), Paula Abdul, Macaulay Culkin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many others.

There was a puzzle section in the back of the magazine they called XOXXOX (pronounced "Zock Socks"), and a section up front where readers sent in letters, drawings, and pictures.

I would pick up this magazine now and then whenever we went to the store, and a couple of times my mom got me a subscription.
