Default Toon Disney to target boys

Toon Disney to target boys


Bye Bye Toon Disney

Cartoon Brew
The LA Times is reporting that the ten-year-old Toon Disney cable channel will be rebranded next February as Disney XD. The new format will target tween boys with shows like Batman: The Animated Series and new live action series like Aaron Stone, a live-action show about “a video game virtuoso who leads a secret double life as a crime fighter.” The LA Times notes that this show “boils down to a male fantasy version of Hannah Montana“.

knew it was coming but held my breath that it wasn't. Guess I passed out all those times for nothing.

rats, the disney channel companies are messed up nowadays. disney xd is not for me. or everyone else. maybe I should ask the people at disney channel to launch another channel that should be devoted to old classic disney tv shows,catoons, shorts,behind the sences stuff, animated features and live action features. It should be like TCM (you know uncut and commercial free) and it should be also on cable. (and disney if your reading this please drop the idea of a website and change it to a HD cable tv channel. thanks!

It's toon Disney, why can't they show the old Micky cartoons? I've been dying to see those again. Back when you didn't need a fart joke to make a kid laugh, you hardly even needed words, like Tom and Jerry. Though not Disney, it was one of the best cartoons, just because they never talked, yet it was still entertaining to watch.

We need a channel to show the old Disney cartoons, like Silly Symphony cartoons.

We will be sad to see Toon Disney go. I thought Disney had channels like ABC Family etc,... to do this type of programming? Anyway, I am guessing it is all about advertising dollars. You will get more business if your channel does not have the word "Toon" in it. Some companies would think only young children are watching. Well,... Parents ARE watching with their kids, & parents & children love the classic toons as well. There is a lot of disconnect with the corp. execs & consumers at this point.

Toom Disney doesn't already target tween boys? Oh! My apologies, that was JETIX, something often shown on ABC family and Toon Disney. And the show doesn't sound like it will be TOO bad... although it'll tank faster than an anvil if the audience in question even hears the words 'Hannah Montana for boys'. And shouldn't Disney try to steer kids back towards adventures OUTSIDE the fantasies of games and media? Something like Huck Finn or Recess, get kids out and playing with others! You're all packed into half-acre lots with three hundred other kids within spitting distance; take advantage of it!!

I am so mad right now. Honestly, I love the Disney company but when are theye going to start realizing that the tween age group is not their only target. There are Disney fans in other age groups too. Keep the real Toon Disney alive!

Isn't the current Toon Disney catered more to the groups around tweens/teens (elementary-school kids and young adults)? They have the cartoons for a few decades ago (TLM, Gargoyles, etc), and then the b-rate sequel movies that they show during the day.

O...K...

They should have just called it Disney's Jetix or something, because yeah we have Disney XD already. I dunno if it would be fair though to leave the girls without a channel to watch, so I dunno about this Disney...

I don't see how this will be very different from what they have now. Most of the stuff that's on that channel now is Spiderman and crap that isn't even Disney.

Bad move. Oh well. Not like I watch anything Disney on TV these days anyway. Ever since they took Vault Disney off the air, I have stopped watching their programming.
