Playhouse Disney means so much to me. It seems like every single show on that programming block had an impact on me in some way. I also remember logging onto the Playhouse Disney website and just playing games on there for hours and hours. Man those were some good times! Bear in the Big Blue House was my favorite show and I can’t wait to rewatch it on Disney+ soon.

I literally cried at the end of this video. When they started singing that goodbye song, it struck a chord in my heart. Like time stood still as I heard this familiar tune and the memories started washing over me with a rush of nostalgia. For a very brief 5 seconds, it brought me back to a simpler time in my youth where all I had to worry about was drawing, watching cartoons, and going to sleep on time with the light on. Hearing it was like watching a chapter close on a beautiful time in my childhood. And I will miss it so much! Thank you Ghost for everything in this video. I'm still crying as I write this! Lol.

Anybody remember the Koala Brothers, those guys made me want to become a pilot, loved the claymation they did on the series

Rolie Polie Olie totally still holds up. Fans love it so much. So much so that William Joyce, the creator is bringing the show back.

Prior to being in The Wiggles Anthony Field and Jeff Fatt were in a rock group in the 80s called The Cockroaches. Anthony went off to University to study childrens education. That's where Greg and Murray came into play. They all decided to make an album. At first it started small. Birthday Parties and malls. They were selling their own merch outta suitcases. They filmed home videos which eventually led them to getting a tv show. Worldwide fame happened when Disney started airing their stuff in the US.

PB&J Otter: I remember watching this one a couple times, especially that song they played for a Mother's Day episode. Rolie Polie Olie: My dad has kind of a special attachment to this one. If memory serves me correctly, my Grandaddy (my dad's dad) introduced this to our family and we would watch it with him. I do remember, though, that Pappy was the best character. Looking back after years of not watching it, this show look freaking adorable! JoJo's Circus: I actually liked this own. From what I can remember, it was about JoJo going to a "clown school" in order to learn how to be a good clown. Also, I thought the little lion cub, Goliath, was cute. Little Einsteins: Boy, that theme song! Madeline: Yeah, I can't remember watching this own either. Charlie and Lola: I actually liked this one, but I kind of remember the storytelling game more than the actual show. Lola would refuse to eat her fish sticks and peas so Charlie would convince her to eat them by pretending they're exotic birds or pirates' treasure and stuff like that. Alot of the Playhouse Disney shows had this kind of game on their website. Bear in the Big Blue House: Bear in the Big Blue House was to my older brother what Stanley was to me. It was his staple. He loved it! He even had his own stuffed Bear toy. The Wiggles: I do remember the hot potato song but I don't remember once seeing them on Playhouse Disney. But I do remembering having a DVD where the Wiggles visit the Australia Zoo and hang out with the late Steve Irwin. The Doodlebops: This one I do remember watching. The one thing I remember most was a running gag where a rope would just appear out of no where and one of the three main characters was just so compelled to pull it but then something bad or goofy would happen to him like get a pie in the face or something. Out of the Box: Sadly, I don't remember watching this one that much. So yeah, I consider myself being raised by Disney. Others that I loved watching were Higglytown Heroes, The Koala Brothers, and of course, my man Stanley!

Playhouse Disney was such great block, that imagination movers theme for Playhouse is always playing in my head.

you know what's crazy I am a 2000s kid I was born in 2001 and playhouse disney was still around at that time and I loved it, I remember ALL of these shows and man this brings back a lot of memories of when times are much simpler.

As it is, I vividly remember watching all content that Playhouse Disney dished out from '99 til 2011 (I was a toddler then, but I do remember some stuff to my credit). Sure I eventually put it together that I was getting "too old" for a lot of the shows from the mid to late 2000s, but I still watched them, purely because of my oldest and second oldest nieces (who by 2011 were 4 and 1). They watched Disney Junior and I babysat most of the time. I actually felt *pain* the day Disney Junior was announced to be replacing Playhouse Disney. Some of my personal favorites from Playhouse Disney were Bear in the Big Blue House, PB & J Otter, Stanley, The Wiggles (U.S. run), Out of the Box and Higglytown Heroes.

The Wiggles have had 4 iterations. The Greg (1991-Nov. 2006, 2012), Sam (November 2006 - January 2012), Emma era (2013 - 2021), and the Tsehay era (2022 - present). The Wiggles were brought into Playhouse Disney due to their knowledge of preschool education and music, and were very popular in America following their relief work following 9/11. They were apart of the channel from June 2002 to May 2009.

Thank you so much for making this video. Unfortunately, PB&J Otter gets very little attention and it’s probably my favorite animated show of all time. It’s great to see someone talk about it in depth. I’m actually good friends with Jim Jinkins and we’re both trying our best to get the show on Disney+. One of the reasons I love the show so much is because the style resembles the Disney Afternoon shows since PB&J was also done by Disney Television Animation.

Awww! I used to watch this a lot around 2003-2009 (tho I liked Nick jr and Disney channel more) I'm still nostalgic for the *where the magic begins" song they played to promote disney junior tho 😭💖

I’m glad that PB&J Otter is on Disney+. One day if I go to my baby cousins house I will put that show on.

Bro! I need a part two to this nostalgic series! There were so many shows on Playhouse Disney that made such a significant part of my childhood! If not, I think we should also talk about Noggin! No one even talks about Noggin anymore or the moose that would show up on my television screen at 5 a.m 😂😂😂 Thank you for making me reminisce on my younger years 💜💜💜

Ghost: "Pappy looks like a sentient walnut...you see it, right?" Me: "Well I do NOW!"

I loved Playhouse Disney as a Kid. I would watch it all the time. Bear in the Big Blue House is honestly my favorite show of all time. I also loved The Wiggles, Stanley, Rolie Polie Olie, JoJo's Circus, Higglytown Heroes, Madeline, PB&J Otter, Out of the Box, The Book of Pooh, and of course, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh A friend of mine actually has recordings of Playhouse Disney before the block was even called that from Early 1998. The shows in the recordings include Bear in the Big Blue House, Adventures in Wonderland, Katie and Orbie, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Jungle Cubs, Madeline, and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh I was curious, do you remember Discovery Kids and The Hub? I wasn't much of a Discovery Kids watcher (Though my brother loved a few of the shows on there), but I started watching the Channel all the time once it became The Hub (Unfortunately, the Channel only lasted for four years)

Out of all the shows from Playhouse Disney, The Wiggles was my favorite of all time because their songs and their show just says childhood overall💛❤️💙💜

Madeline was one of my biggest obsessions from when I was 5-7, and even after I moved on to other things, I still loved the show. It feels like a franchise that people usually forget was somewhat popular in the '90s because in addition to the animated show, the live action movie, and the made-for-TV movie, Lost in Paris, there was a series of educational computer games and a doll line.

Nostalgia overload. Inner child losing his mind

You do realize JoJos Circus is NOT LITERALLY about clowns, right? It’s this series that teaches children how to exercise

In the early 2000s The Wiggles were touring with two crew buses and 2 buses for their equipment! Folks would follow the buses from town to town. The Wiggles were the only foreign act invited to perform at the Macy's Parade after 9/11. Most of the classic Wiggles videos are on youtube. Highly recommend Top Of The Tots, Wiggle Bay, and Wiggly Safari. Super high energy. Wiggly Safari was filmed at Australia Zoo with Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter.

Anyone remember Imagination Movers?

32 years later and The Wiggles are still going??????

Remember this comin’ on at my grandma’s house and my sister and I would sit and watch it while she would cook breakfast! NISTOLGIA!!!!!

Higglytown heroes was my absolute fave. Honorable mention goes to The wiggles, Little Einsteins and the doodlebops 😤

I use to watch playhouse Disney back when I was little and my favorite show to watch was the wiggles they had catchy music , goofy characters, and was just so fun watch

Hearing the music from pb&j brought back so many forgotten memories

To. This. Day. Every single time I hear the phrase "out of the box" I get that theme song stuck in my head. And i haven't seen that show or heard the theme song in literally probably 17 years.

Looking back on these shows, I can’t help but feel like I took them for granted (especially considering most of the ones from the mid-90s-early-2000s are hard to come by nowadays), which is why we need them available for streaming Disney plus already has The Book of Pooh, Out of the Box, Rolie Polie Olie, Handy Manny, Higglytown Heroes and Little Einsteins, so what’s stopping them from including everything else?

I watched almost every show in this video! Still miss this programming block ;(

7:56 I like to think bear is a babysitter for them.

the wiggles are actually doing 18+ concerts in australia of their classics!! id love to go to one someday but unfortunately i dont have the money to fly to australia :”) this was a great video!! i was looking for a playhouse disney retrospective and this was perfect

I remember when I first got cable as a kid and watching *Playhouse Disney* all the time I think the transition to *Disney Junior* made it lose some of its charm but regardless still very nostalgic to me

It’s glad to see someone give respect to preschool shows. GoAnimators hate them just for existing.

I remember watching Little Einsteins. I have the disc. I cannot forget how many have seen Little Einsteins because there were times in *highschool* where the class would go from silence to screaming the theme song at the top of their lungs in 5 seconds flat. I barely glimpsed Rolie Polie Olie. Barely know anything about all the others.

Dude didn't talk about the GOAT--Higglytown Heroes!! I always adored that show, pretty based that the squirrel was the leader of 3 other kids. I vividly remember some shows from here--specifically Rollie Pollie, Jojo's, Little Einsteins, and Stanley (The book song in your last vid fuckin made me lose it when I heard it--been at least 20 years since I've heard it) Thanks for covering this legendary time in Disney Channel history!! Great vid, so glad I found your vids, can't wait to see you grow.

PB&J Otter was my shit growing up.

5:26 I was watching this 4ever I was younger

Excuse me the Doodlebops are entertaining to me 18 years old I still love watching them their music is almost like my life they may have been out longer than I've lived until Playhouse Disney sadly stopped so I watch them on KZfaq now and if I had to choose a favorite it would be Moe is the silliest

I was a Wiggles fan since day 1. The original lineup of Greg, Murray, Jeff and Anthony is still and will always be the best 💛❤️💜💙 Also, I agree. Bear In The Big Blue House NEEDS to be on Disney plus!!!!! As do other gems of the Disney past like JoJo's Circus, Johnny And the Sprites, Stanley, PB and J Otter, Dan Zane's House Party, Special Agent Oso and Jim Henson's Animal Show

Madeline was quite a large part of my childhood. If my memories are correct the boy was the son of a wealthy Spaniard.

So people say that Little Einsteins is steaming on Disney+, BUT IT AIN’T STREAMING IN MY COUNTRY (The UK)

Playhouse Disney will be new way after disney junior us is gone for good.

Bear in the big blue house best show on playhouse Disney! Plus the wiggles are a goated preschool band.

I remember this era! I miss my childhood so much

Playhouse Disney defined my childhood. The Wiggles, Bear, Out of the Box were among my most favorites.

This made me really wanna hear you talk about hip hop harry lol if you’d ever seen it! I loved out of the box and chu chu soul!! 😭✨

growing up i didnt get cable until 2008 (i was 11 so do the math too see how old i am now...im 25 anyways) i watched they shows at my grandparents house. but i really grew up watching PBSkids! btw i love your channel!! can u do a vid on PBS kids? thanks again!

not sure if you’re aware, but PB&J Otter and Bear in the Big Blue House were added to Disney+ in mid to late October of 2022, should you, or anybody who stumbled upon my comment, wish to check them out.

The wiggles looked like Star Trek

You forgot Mickey Mouse Clubhouse The Book of/My Friends Tigger & Winnie the Pooh and Handy Manny since in 2006-11 those series and Little Einsteins were the core PD shows of the time even when it shut down and got rebranded to Disney Junior

I remember watching everything other than PB and J Otter. I loved all of them.

Mashup of Reading Rainbow and Out of the Box at the end.

Honestly, the last time i remember seeing playhouse disney was in september of 2010 right before we left for a trip to disney for my 4th birthday (which was a few days before). We even went to a playhouse disney live show. Then my next memory of the block was the day the rebrand happened. I remember throwing a fit because they got rid of Ooh and Aah...honestly im still satly about that. Ooh and Aah was unparalleled and now it's lost media (well some of the bumpers are).

the wiggles was my favorite show back then. i used to watch alll their episodes and movies. i even went to one of the concerts in hollywood lol

I'm I the only one who feels like Litte Einsteins is a college class taught by 4 year olds

Ok I really like your videos! You know just what references to make and when! Hope you make these longer lol! 👍🏾

The thing I remember the most about out of the box is that nigga playin the pumpkin 😭

I remember watching the new adventures of Winnie the Pooh and the book of Pooh at the same time on playhouse Disney

I always felt bear in the big blue house would’ve been better fit for PBS

I was born in 2008, yes, you can probs guess my age, BUT WHEN I TELL YOU THIS WAS ALL I WATCHED WHEN I WAS LITTLE, IT WAS ALL I WATCHED. Now I kinda just have a bond with it and use it to create random fictional scenarios in my head as my peak interest point when I have art block : -)

Okay for anyone who doesn’t know why The Wiggles is so big You see over here in Australia they are humongous and a multigenerational childhood institution they have movies TV shows albums and everything else you can think of and many kids grew up with them including me , I don’t even know how they even got to American TV (which is honestly a miracle) and it’s honestly really weird to just think of them as a kooky TV show from the 90s because trust me I’m not really exaggerating when I say they are ginormous in Australia

My favorite was The Wiggles. Greg's retirement in 2006: 👎🏻 Greg's comeback in 2012: 👍🏻

..oh man, rolie polie olie and pb&j were my jam! (pun not intended) and recently i've been rewatching little einsteins cause i remember always loving the parts where they interacted with paintings and wanted to know the names of them along with the fire classical music heard throughout each episode. and boy, you got me tearing up when the goodbye songs from out of the box and the bear in the big blue house started playing. playhouse was the GOAT compared to disney junior

Oh I remember watching Madeline as a kid, but Rolie Polie Olie was my personal favorite.

I miss Playhouse Disney! It's way better and more educational than everything on now. My favorites were Bear in the big blue house and Stanley.

Bro keep making this videos and keep going forward. your videos are really good. I'm always waiting for your next video.💯💯💯

I really loved watching this network when I was young. It was my favorite preschool network of all time. So here is my favorite shows from Playhouse Disney. Bear in the Big Blue House Rolie Polie Olie Out of the Box The Book of Pooh The Wiggles Little Einsteins PB&J Otter Imagination Movers Stanley All of these shows still holds up very well today, and a big staples of my childhood.

I absolutely kid you not, the Wiggles are definitely an empire of children’s media! There like the biggest children’s band/musical group in the world. They’re not like the Doodlebops at all. They’re an Australian icon since the 90’s.

It wasn’t just underrated, it deserves to be brought back! #BringBackPlayhouseDisney

That noodle song unlocked a memory😭😭😭 but also i dont remember anything else about this show💀

4:25 pappy is love pappy is life

I completely forgot about pb &J til you played the fucking noodle dance

Playhouse Disney was informative and fun dude

I swear, I think out of the three big channels (being Cartoon Network, Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior, and Nick JR/Nickelodeon but four if you want to count PBS Kids) I think Disney was my main channel and the most iconic shows for me were the following: Handy Manny (most specially) Rollie Polly Ollie (probably butchered the name spelling) Jungle Junction (although I was a tad bit old for the target demographic but I enjoyed it) My friends tigger and Pooh Imagination Movers Little Einsteins And Jojo’s Circus (I think Charlie and Lola as well but I didn’t watch it as much as the other shows mentioned)

Not only is Playhouse Disney the source of some of my current fixations (Stanley and PB&J Otter which thanks for the shoutout on the latter btw) it was also a big part of my childhood I had the good shit like Little Einsteins and Handy Manny (Which I still like Handy Manny to this day lol) and yet people do not talk about it the same way they do PBS Kids and Nick Jr so im glad people share my sentiment on the channel being underrated

The wiggles are signed to the same label as Ariana Grande. Collab when? Lol

Thank to Little Einsteins, I now associate Classical music with Playhouse Disney.

I’ll for sure love your contact man you should continue whatever you’re doing because it’s working because I have subscribed and I love you now and I’m gonna watch every single video of yours

I fuckin loved watching Playhouse Disney on Disney Channel, especially during the summer months and on the weekends, although I watched it during the 'Ooh & Aah' era. Bear in the Big Blue House, Rolie Polie Olie, Imagination Movers, Handy Manny, Special Agent Oso, Choo Choo Soul, Jungle Junction, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Higgleytown Heroes, and Little Einsteins were my favorite shows! Fuckin miss Playhouse Disney, bro!

😭😭😭😭 My childhood right here!!!!

PLAYHOUSE DISNEY!!!!!

I didn't see most of this shit when I was little,but I think I saw playhouse disney before it became disney junoir, I saw pb&j otter once when I was sick,it was the measels episode no clue why I was thinking of mumps,I only saw one episode of that stanley show once on my computer,I liked jojo's circus and little einsteins,but Ioved imagination movers,and the wiggles

I like how Playhouse Disney has different types animation and not all was 3D. Some of them were puppetery and live-action. A majority of Disney jr shows are 3D animations.

Kinda sad some of these shows never had a physical media release

1:19 Hilarious as heck 🔥

6:51 Comedy at it's finest

I had a red Mickey Mouse TV when I was little the ears were the speakers I miss it damn 😩 I watch some of these shows like Little Einsteins, The Doodlebops and Jo jo the clown (that’s probably why I’m scared of people in costumes and clowns and I’m finna 20 soon🙈😭)

Roolie Poolie Oolie was the best show on this block aside from madeleine 💯

Yes I love PB and J😜

MAN NOT KNOWING WHO THE WIGGLES ARE

6:56 my favorite part

Originally, Ojo was intended by the Jim Henson guys and creator Mitchell Kreigman to be Bear's niece.

6:20 BOY I WATCH IT DAILY

My brother loved rolly pollyolly

1:48 Very hilarious

PBJ, Stanley,Roly poly, little instin, Maddie, Bear in the big blue house, OUT of the box Sing me pap a story with Bell.

Jojo's Circus was taken off the air before I could get into the channel, yet nowadays I respect it as a show (I can say the same about Rolie Polie Olie though)

I kind like the playhouse Disney block.

..... Now known as Disney Junior
