Topic: Has Disney lost it's heritage?

The only bright side to this modernized Disney Channel is Demi Lovato ( for me anyway). I love her music, she has such a beautiful voice. If Disney never went through this stage, I might have never heard her sing.

Anyone remember this show?

I remember Dave the Barbarian! I love that show very much! It had a great sense of humor, funny characters, and great voice acting. Too bad it only lasted 20-something episodes...

When Walt was at the helm, it was his creative vision and his ability to inspire and entertain that made Disney such a successful company. Now, Disney is like any other mega corporation. They stay on top with market research, catering to a target audience, developing music acts, etc.

I nominate this post for Hall of Fame status.

I also liked Dave the Barbarian, the show seemed like something only Disney can do. And have you noticed that Disney makes alot of shows school related.
Recess
Weekenders
Phineas and Ferb
Suite Life On Deck
And I beleave Fish Hooks (which first aired yesterday) is about High School
I sorta understand, you know every kid goes to school, but you can only do so much school related shows.
If I missed any tell me
Update I forgot about the Emporer's New School

Maybe Disney can renew the disney characters.
With Epic Mickey Coming out soon Disney may think "Hmmm it seems that kids still love Mickey"
I think as soon as Mickey Mouse clubhouse stops airing new episodes I can gurantee a new Mickey show.
But for now we have the very enjoyable "Have a Laugh" Shorts

Here are some pictures!

Cousins?

No, no, you have it wrong. Adventure Time makes you think that you are stoned.

So, I know I'm about a week late to this, but I'll state my opinions anyway. Being 14, I really haven't experienced much older Disney stuff, but I agree that the current Disney is pretty bad. Although I'll admit I liked The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and That's So Raven when they were on (the current state that the Suite Life is in is NOT good though), but I am NOT into any of this Hannah Montana Jonas Brothers etc. crap. And that's coming from a guy that liked a lot of the current music that a lot of people in this thread would probably consider horrible (that includes Lady Gaga). So, yeah, I can't contribute much else to this thread. More of a Looney Tunes kind of guy personally.......

I hope that The Looney Tunes Show, which is coming on this fall, will be good. Hopefully, it will live up to the other older shows that share its name.

_{But that's not Disney related.}

While I certainly I hope so, I'm not holding my breath. Of the Looney Tunes-related spinoff shows that have been shown on Cartoon Network, they've ranged from somewhat good to quite bad (and most of those are based on my judgement from when I was younger). However, at least Looney Tunes characters are still being used and not having BLAM! played over them, so that's a plus I suppose.

Ahem Now back on topic.......

Well, I watched Fish Hooks last night. I though it was pretty good, but I need to see more. But it does have Greenblatt and Atoms behind it.

I saw the first episode (that aired) of Fish Hooks for the first time today. It brought to mind Spongebob Squarepants in some regards, but I thought, "Not bad".

Like all, and many other here (like myself) that enjoy the 90's and The early 20's Cartoons, Have to learn that time have change.

When we were Kids, we really didn't care for meny other show that wasn't a Cartoon, or didn't have the type of comedy we like
(Boy Meet World, Even Steven, Family Matters, and Fresh prince of Bel air) I like these show growing up.

But today, cartoons are almost gone from every Channel.
Just look at "Cartoon Network" it know for having only Cartoons, but now they will end up like Disney and Nickelodeon.

But in this World, Money Talks, and Kid want more shows like Hannah Montana, and Bad Musicals. Becuse they make Money,Not Cartoons, its a Dead Media

_{Don't know how to put up youtube Video, but this link show what happens to old cartoons}

Do people even know this show exists

@Gmls - yes, I do. Brandy and Mr. Whiskers was decent, but what I really miss is Teacher's Pet, which has a similar animation style. The latter had a movie that was released in theatres, which I haven't seen (but I want to), but for some strange reason, the movie never, and I mean never, aired on television; it was just released on DVD.

Teachers Pet was awesome! The movie is really good too. I remember going to see it in theaters and no one else was there.

I second that.

God, yes. They used to actually mean something to me - making some of the most wonderful and beautifully animated movies that the public has ever seen? That means something. They used to create such masterpieces (namely the Lion King) that you could look past their staunch enforcement on censorship (which, to me, has always been a big fault of theirs). Now what has Disney become?

Although Disney still makes good movies in cooperation with Pixar (namely Bolt, Up, and Toy Story 3 in recent years), Disney has become another stupid pre-teen girl network that wouldn't know quality if it bit them in the . Their actors suck, their singers suck, the script writing of their shows suck (some of the dumbest and most unintelligent lines have been uttered on their shows in recent years), and... well, it all sucks. The Jonas brothers? Three overrated piles of absolute that barely warrant being called human, and absolute losers who depend on good looks to get anywhere. Oh, and their fans are blind and/or tone deaf. Miley Cyrus? A depraved floozy that can't act or sing worth beans and goes out on a limb by pole dancing and showing off her... erm, parts. And I have nothing nice to say about the others.

Poor, poor Disney. Your chain of increasingly awful decisions makes me want to break down and cry. You poor, stupid suckers.

@YoshiSage Bolt wasn't actually made by Pixar. I don't know who it was made by, but it wasn't Pixar. But Up and Toy Story 3.... yup, made by Pixar, and amazing.
