I remember watching Care Bears on Disney Channel as a kid. Who else did?
Dm me any questions :)
r/dcoms
Who remembers Goof Troop? I was upset that it took so long to bring it to DVD.
Who remembers Quack Attack?
Over here Uncle Donald!
This is very exasperating.
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.
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.
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.
Who remembers Rescue Rangers? I always thought it had the best theme song.
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 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.
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.
Who remembers the All-New Mickey Mouse Club? It was the second revival of the Mickey Mouse Club after the New Mickey Mouse Club. The show is now known for being how Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera among others got their start.
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??
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.
Remember the Disney Afternoon? That wonderful afterschool block that Disney had in the 90s? That was back in the days when we had no internet to come home to. It was either video games or television.
