  • Disney Afternoon was a syndicated television animation block on weekday afternoons during the 1990s. It brought with it a television animation renaissance. Shows like Darkwing Duck, Talespin, and Goof Troop brought to life new big budget animation on tv which prompted more cartoons to up their game.

    You missed The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which wasn't exactly Disney Afternoon but still worth mentioning with the other adaption shows.

    I was in my early 20s when Disney Afternoon started, and I loved these shows. They had such a quality show with excellent stories. Such a departure from the kid shows that were clearly there just to sell product (He-man, GI Joe, Gobots). I was surprised to find my dad was watching Tail Spin every morning while getting ready for work He wasn't the cartoon type but he really loved it. When Bonkers came out though, it seemed really dumbed down. It was all about gags, but it was rarely funny. I looked up this video because I was thinking about how it just all went down the drain after that. With the exception of Aladdin, which I just watched for that segment.

    It’s ironic that Mickey Mouse never got a show on the block. This was because Eisner wanted a Mickey Mouse show to be amazing and perfect, since he’s the mascot and afraid of his reputation being ruined. But by the time they came up with amazing ideas for him, the block got cancelled.

    Removing Duck Tales was the dumbest move. It was all over after that.

    I grew up on all things Disney because my dad didn't spend money on cable television. I was there for Disney's Afternoon to ABC'S One Saturday Morning. I think it made kids back then appreciate what they watched more as you couldn't just watch it anytime you wanted. You had to make an effort to find out when it was on in your area and set that time to watch the block.

    I used to cry at the end of each episode of the Disney afternoon when you see the magic kingdom and the end credits for each show

    Nickelodeon, Disney, and PBS was my childhood!

    Late 80s and 90s were the Golden age of cartoons.

    I loved DuckTales. I will randomly play the theme song sometimes. Rescue Rangers was amazing too.

    I feel like we were spoiled with great quality shows. Born in 80s but grew up in the 90s. Darkwing Duck was my absolute favourite but so many others of those shows I loved. Imagine telling your past self how easy you can access all of those shows nowadays!!!

    I was a teen in the 90s. I loved most of these shows, including House Of Mouse. It was cool seeing all the characters from different Disney shows & movies interacting. :D

    I wasn't around in the 90s, so this video was very informative. I only knew about Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Talespin, and Gargoyles and haven't seen anything other than a couple episodes of Ducktales. I had no idea how much impact that Disney had on the world of television animation, but I guess I owe them all these amazing shows that I have had the privelege of growing up on. I really only started really watching cartoons lately (like analyzing, etc.) and I have been finding that while older movies tend to be better than newer ones, the opposite is true for television. Nowhere is this more aparent than in the world of animation. Today, animated shows for audiences of all ages tend to be serialized narratives with complex characters and mature themes. Disney is doing especially good with this with Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and the amazing Ducktales reboot among others.

    I'm from Greece and all those shows were a part of Saturday/Sunday morning cartoons of Greek television for years.. I grew up with all those Disney shows and the Aladdin series, Timon & Pumba and House of Mouse especially were still going on till the late 2000s and were very popular.. Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Aladdin and House of Mouse were my favourites from Disney and of course Batman: the animated series and X-Men are iconic!!!

    I remember all of it. Everything that was mentioned I watched. My love for animation is so huge that from time to time, I would revisit them on TH-cam just to watch the intros and I end up finding gems like this video mixed in. Ducktales definitely helped jump start an addiction lol. But I started long before that with toons like transformers, heman, the Thundercats and so many others. Disney afternoon just kept it going for me. This was definitely a huge turning point for animation. 80s and into the 90s had some of the greatest animation ever created. I also am so glad and appreciative of the fact that I too lived through that era. Great video. Definitely looking forward to more... I'm holding you to that mighty ducks video lol.

    I really enjoyed these shows growing up. I watched them where ever I could see them. At my grandparents or at home. I still remember my grandma collecting the Ducktales figures when they were prizes in certain cereals. Those were the days. Ducktales and Talespin are my two favorites but I did enjoy Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck too. I was more into the Duck characters and the Jungle Book characters that I grew more fond of those two shows more but I watched them all and still do till this day. If anyone were to ask me to sit down and watch me some Disney Afternoon you better believe I'll join in.
