40 years ago, Disney Channel was the BEST network around. Until today’s generation just gone WAY downhill until if they could putting more stuff to understand of Walt Disney be proud of one visionary talent to give us something in better entertainment. I hope today’s youths will understand of what we’ve been through to see those shows growing up. Great vid. 😊

RIP Ron miller, Diane Disney’s husband. I used to watch the Disney channel in the early 2000s. They used to air classic movies, documentaries, specials and other educational and fun content that was entertaining and engaging. I stopped watching to because they went to a different direction to target the young teenage demographic with more live action mediocrity, stale telefilms and very few animated programs that were unfairly cancelled after a short period. Now Disney channel is possibly going to shut down int he United States due to the majority of America no longer watching television and instead stream content on the internet

Who better to flip the switch than the main mouse himself?
@keth9016 Күн бұрын
That will be... MICKEY MOUSE!!! Because there ARE every man OR woman (from all past Disney Channel programs and used from the audience) and every boy OR girl (also on every past Disney Channel programs and also from the audience) which did command the "30-second" countdown, but in the Disney satellite (in space) and at Mouse-ta-piece Theatere (on Earth) for the launch of the Disney Channel. The countdown began at 19:31 and Mickey switches up at 19:58. But before, there are a lot of Disney Channel programs and movies on-screen. Also for a news report for the launch of that brand new channel. After the countdown and the lever switch, there is a satellite beam going up to the sky, which is at 20:05. After, the logo for the Disney Channel was shown on-screen with fireworks behind it at 20:11. And that's it. We saw some programs coming out, like its first program, Good Morning, Mickey, which came out from 1983 to 1992. That is why because someone that is better to flip the switch up than the main mouse himself. But... IT IS PERFECT!!! IT IS THE BEST THING THAT I SAW!!! AND IT IS GREAT THAT THE DISNEY CHANNEL HAS LAUNCHED!!! YES!!! Oh my gosh.
