Current
*
Play it Again Jam! - Started on
February 20,
2006, replacing the Bonus Stacks. This format had three episodes of a given show in a row instead of four. The regular Toon Disney atmosphere also returned after having the winter theme for months: this was most likely due to
American Dragon: Jake Long's premiere on Toon Disney, where the network wanted to return the regular atmosphere. Its name is a pun to the phrase, "Play it again, Sam!".
*
Princess Party Palace - Also added in
2000, and is a one-hour block featuring episodes of
Aladdin (the ones featuring Jasmine, at least) and
The Little Mermaid. This block still exists today, and it airs every weekend morning. The block was formerly titled Princess Power Hour.
*
Jetix - In February 2004, the
Jetix block, already on
ABC Family, was added to Toon Disney's nighttime schedule. Similar to
Cartoon Network's
Toonami, Jetix airs every weekday between 7:00PM and 8:00AM and every weekend between 4:00PM and 8:00AM. Beginning on
September 2,
2006, Jetix will be exclusive to the channel also, it will expand on weekends to 12:00pm. The block's placement in this slot was met with much resistance and criticism by the channel's older viewers, because the programming in that slot previously had consisted of older Disney cartoons. Probably not coincidental, many of the network's older shows were removed several months after Jetix's addition.
Past
*
Magical World of Toons - The four-hour block was added in
2000, and came on every night. It disappeared in
2003, where its slot was replaced by
The Power Pack, which was a bunch of three-hour marathons of certain shows. It was brought back shortly afterward, but did not have its original look, nor was it even called Magical World of Toons anymore.
*
Chillin' with the Villains - Also added in
2000, it was a two-hour marathon of a certain show was presented on Sunday afternoons. However, these particular marathons focused on a certain villain from whichever series was being featured. (
Teamo Supremo was a bit of an exception, due to the fact that the show had no regularly recurring villains.) This block was removed in 2004. Usually, it did end of course when the new Toon Disney logo came out along with other programming blocks except Jetix.
*
Toons in the House - A four-hour weekday-afternoon block similar in spirit to the original
Disney Afternoon, was changed to
@Toon in
2001. Shortly after becoming @Toon, before each first commercial break for most of the shows, it featured some viewer submissions and game high scores from the official
website. It was removed in
2004.
*
Hangin' with the Heroes - Began in
2002, it originally aired on weekends, but then aired on weekdays too. It featured
Aladdin,
Gargoyles, and
Hercules: The Animated Series. But like the last two blocks listed, it was removed in 2004.
*
Weekday Bonus Stacks - Added to the schedule in
2004, they were basically three 2 hour marathons of three different shows that aired from 11 AM to 5 PM. Everyday were three shows different from the previous day. Though many kids have enjoyed these shows, many of these programs were already airing in good time slots, so it decreased the variety of shows on the network. In
September 2005, this block was renamed the
Superstar Bonus Stacks and its starting time changed to 10 AM, but this time airing 7 different shows for an hour each and on a more regular schedule. However, this didn't last long. In
October 2005, Toon Disney went back to the regular Bonus Stacks. It was replaced by Play it Again, Jam!
Although the majority of the network's programming is animation, live-action programming has been a part of Toon Disney over the years. Live children were featured in bumpers aired from 1998 to 2002, and fan-made animations done in live-action were aired in these bumpers. More recently, the Jetix block airs the show
Power Rangers. As of
November 2004, Toon Disney has also aired Muppet movies, including
Muppets from Space, One Muppet movie that Disney does not own.
A
Spanish language audio track is available on Toon Disney via the
SAP option; some cable and satellite systems also offer the Spanish language feed as a separate channel. Toon Disney networks also broadcasts in
Germany,
Spain,
France,
Italy,
India, and
Scandinavia.The
British version was replaced by the channel
Disney Cinemagic in March,
2006.
