A compilation of international versions of Disney Channel being closed since Disney+ was announced

First, Disney XD in India gets turned into a Marvel channel (which surprisingly has some non-Marvel content like Pokémon, Beyblade, and Asian programming like Arjun, Prince of Bali and Upin and Ipin (I heard the latter is disgusting) while other versions of said channel get closed due to Disney+ or for no reason. Disney+ is also affecting the existence of Disney Channel and Disney Junior as many of their international versions closed after Disney+'s launch.

I genuinely feel bad for kids coming up in today’s world of countless streaming services. One of the greatest parts of childhood in the 90’s/early 2000’s was everyone had the same programming, and we all could talk and discuss what we were watching. Now programming is spread across countless different streaming services. I am so glad I grew up in an earlier time.

[@Sasha-zw9ss]

Well, there are torrents/free streaming sites, so someone being unable to access is not really a problem. My pain is that since you can get pretty much any content you want instantly, the value becomes kinda less than if it's "one episode you can only watch at a specific time, and then wait until the next day".

I was born in the second half of 2000s but I still experienced watching cartoons on TV channels, not during all the childhood though cuz then when I was in middle school streaming started to become very popular😢(somewhere between 2017-2019) I don't undertstand how nowadays kids enjoy watching cartoons on streaming whenever they want. I mean it is GOOD that now you can see anything you want whenever you want cuz before if you couldn't watch an episode and you forgot to record it you had to wait literally DAYS or even WEEKS until that episode was on TV again. But imo it was better to wait patiently for each episode and not rushing basically everything cuz then u would forget what u even watched💀(basically what happened to me everytime I rushed tv series except in rare cases) and also like you said it was better when everyone had the same programming, not like now where you go to school and the boy who rushed a new tv series faster than u literally spoils u everything💀 Sorry for the bad english is not my main language

[@BoldActionSkitty]

It also causes anxiety because of my history with the EAS alert system. Especially the silence before the blaring alarm. It just gives the feeling that something is wrong. It also just gives a feeling of helplessness. At least India and Japan knew how to properly end the channel.

There's something oddly cold and intimidating about the replacements that seemed to occur without so much as a goodbye.

They don't even have the courtesy of cutting the broadcast after a commercial bumper, just cutting them off even if they're in the middle of showing a program. Really goes to show that Disney just didn't give a crap about their TV presence once they sunk their teeth into the streaming market.

I think a more reasonable explanation for why the Disney Channel is still a thing in Germany is probably our crappy internet infrastructure. The moment you leave one of the major cities, you will likely not encounter very good internet connections. Both on mobile data an on landline connections. Fiber only get's built in some areas, cable often is only available in large cities, and DSL often wasn't upgraded since the 1MBit/s days. So for a lot of households streaming just isn't a viable option. And like you said, D+ is often more expensive for households then to just watch the linear TV channel. While you do have to pay for private channels in HD, it's still "only" 70€/year for all private channels over satellite, while D+ is only Disney content for 90€/year...

I think the transition was abrupt, but I honestly can't remember if they had one last goodbye or not.

[@gianni50725]

Just looked it up and my memory was correct! The last broadcast was Handy Manny, and they had the last sign off before never showing again (it went to disney channel).

What I found to be really depressing about a lot of these closedowns was the lack of a formal goodbye during broadcast, as you’d think with all of these promos and ads that they’d care to remind and warn their viewers that they’re closing. Even the few that did imply a demise were extremely vague about it, like I doubt that a young kid would’ve gotten the memo from the Disney + ad saying that it was Disney Junior UK’s ‘new home’ meant that it was going to be it’s only home from now on. Thank you so much for putting this extensive compilation together btw. It’s pretty sad that we’re already up to an hour’s worth of Disney Channel closedowns not even a year into Disney+. I wonder how many more are going to shutdown before the inevitable US announcement, as once that happens they’ll probably all go down.

[@Sonarix6002]

1. Agreed. A closedown message should be shown prior to the shutdown to inform the viewers who are not aware. 2. Thanks. Also, I think Disney Channel in Latin America might close down soon as it starting copying the Italian version of the network by airing old DC shows. 3.

Man watching these channels closing its programs is sad to see, it sad to know kids these days tend to watch youtube or twitch more than traditional cartoons and television programs. I remember watching these channels back in 2007-2008 ( I was between 3 to 4 watching these channels.) As an early 2000's kid, its hard to see channels I grew up watching go, I distanctivly remember watching Pheiaus and Ferb on the disney channel, as well as Kim possible and American dragon Jake Long. On Disney junior (which was called playhouse Disney back when I was a child), I remember watching Handy Mandy and Micky Mouse Clubhouse. I'll be honest that I am glad to actually watch actual TV shows on a TV channel during my formitive years, its sad to know kids these days don't even watch that many educational programs now (I know disney isn't exactly educational but their shows at least have morals). Heck, I even watched PBS Kids up into my High school years ( my freshmen year being the 2019-2020 school year, which ended prematurly due to COVID). But sometimes I hope kids will still watch traditional TV to some extent, but I feel like not that many people these days watch TV anymore. My grandfather only watches the TV just for News, other things he's interested in he watches on youtube, and he's in his late 60s, Even the older generations are starting to move away from TV programming. I know for certain that the next generation after Gen Alpha will certainly never get to know what TV programs were like and how kids use to watch them. I remember watching channels like Cartoon Network when it aired a vareity of shows and not just Teen Titans Go, heck I remember watching the original Teen Titans on TV, and of course there's Nickolodean, when there were a ton of other shows aside from spongebob. HECK, I remember watching 4Kids entertainment as a kid, even in elementry school. Despite there being many gen Z kids watching Television in the early 2000s, myself included, obviously loved watching these shows in the early 2000s, the sad truth is that Television is in fact dying since most kids these days rather watch youtube videos instead of any tv programming, my younger cousins will never get to know what it was like when I was watching TV at their age, one of them is 7 and the other one is only a month old, I also have a cousin that's four years older than me, being born in the year 2000, and I also have a lot more cousins as well on both sides of my parents families. But aside from my older first cousin, I am especially worried for my younger ones since they were born after the 2010s, which I would say is the last good year for cartoons, I know there were some great shows released like Gravity Falls and Steven universe ( I have only seen Gravity falls, I have yet to watch steven universe). But at that time I started to get more interested in video games, specifically at the start of the 2010s Kingdom Hearts was the one I have played the most (specifiacally KHII) considering it had most of the characters I grew up watching in the same world with characters that could be in a Final Fantasy game, I played that game a lot in elementry school. But in conclusion, (like as if I was writing an essay for my english class), the companies that made our childhood are far more souless than ever, like I was in school one day I heard a bunch of senior students (same grade as me) talking trash about the little mermaid movie ( and this is from their words, I have not seen it, and I am not interested in it at the slightest, since I watched pretty much all of the original, animated disney movies anyways, even the classics). I honestly think the movies seem boring to me these days, but hey, at the end of these live action movies they are just cash grabs fron the nostalgic people and are unoriginal to me, I really only liked that Maleficent one, which is much better than the lion king one, as if I haven't seen the originals already, which I already did anyways.

I didn't realize that Disney+ basically killed off all of their TV shows altogether in favor of Streaming. I may have made one for Toon Disney back in 2012, but this is just downright awful. Disney Channel was the network started in 1983 as a premium channel, then in 1987 it switched to cable and became the home of many cartoons between 1987 up until the mid 2010s. Now, seeing that this is now defunct, just goes to show that TV is starting to die off as early as 2020 or even the 2040s or 2050s (or when Generation X individuals pretty much dies off or something like that). By 2030/2040, TV may go extinct and the only time TV airings would be used is either for old retro content like TV Land and such, the news channels, or re- runs/movies on demand on the channel.

You're right in that Disney+ and cable aren't cheap, but cost aside, streaming services aren't that bad, without mentioning that not every child is indecisive and some of them may prefer streaming services over cable due to them not being available at the time the shows they want to watch air. To give you an example, I would have enjoyed streaming services if they have existed when I was a kid, since there were a lot of times where I missed the shows I wanted to watch due to me not being available at the time where they aired, of course, I was able to watch the episodes I missed on the internet, but watching the episodes of a show years after it aired is a different experience than watching them as a kid and while they were airing. Times change, maybe kids end up loving streaming services over cable for the sheer fact streaming services allow you to watch the shows you want to watch any time and without commercial breaks.

Yo igual soy de Chile y justo le decía el otro día a unos amix que igual recuerdo súper vívidamente ese día, después de almorzar donde mi abuela fui directo a la tele porque quería ver Jetix por última vez por los anuncios que hicieron unas semanas de que el canal iba a cambiar :,) que pena que ya no sea así, me da mucha tristeza pensar que los niños ahora van a ver desaparecer sus canales favoritos en un segundo sin previo aviso

Back in april of 2023 (for the archivers) Disney Channel, along with Disney Juinior, was still on air in Orlando, Florda. I have no footage of it.

As I’ve been saying for ages, streaming platforms absolutely suck for this! They were so successful originally because they were a place you could find content from multiple places without needing to buy cable television, but now that everyone is making their own streaming service, where you have to buy Netflix AND Disney+ AND Hulu or what have you to get all the content you want, it’s basically just like going back to having to buy a bunch of channels. Streaming is killing cable TV and the worst part is that it’s turning out more expensive for the customer and is completely unnecessary.

[@jdb2002]

Who says you need Netflix and Disney+ and Hulu? You can choose which streaming services you want and ignore the rest. I'm happy with just Hulu and Disney (and I may drop Hulu).

[@jezily]

@@jdb2002 It’s the fact that we even need more than one. I used those three as an example because they’re most popular. Of course nobody is going to get a streaming service they don’t want. But like you said, you have two. A majority of the people I know have all three - and I’m sure there’s people with specific interests who might want to watch Survivor, so they’ll get Paramount+. Or you might be interested in Good Omens, so you’ll need Amazon Prime. It was better when it was just one or two streaming services that could give you a lot of content from different sources. Now if you want to watch something that your streaming service doesn’t provide, you’ll have to get a different service or pirate it. That’s why I’m saying it’s like going back to cable TV where you have to buy a bunch of channels to see the content you want.

[@floweyfangirl69420]

@@jezily and if we were to have cable, we wouldn't know when that movie or series was gonna air. maybe tomorrow, maybe next month. Our solution is to buy a 'box' that unlocks all channels forever That's something my uncle bought for a while and is still working. yes, it's some kind of "pirating", but let's be honest, everyone pirates movies these days

[@jezily]

@@floweyfangirl69420 Your cable TV service doesn’t come with a guide? I have never seen a TV that doesn’t tell you what’s airing that day/week/month. You just press a button on the remote and it shows up. That “box” you’re talking about sounds interesting though!

[@jrandiny3]

Hm I don't know the pricing for your country, but at least in my country, streaming is much cheaper than cable tv, even after considering that I need to pay for more than one services. I now pay only half of what I used to pay for mostly the same content

[@Life_of_Boredom]

I actually remember as a child watching Disney XD when I went up north to a little cottage, great memories watching scooby doo at 12AM there, sad to see such a memory gone, I always thought that the random episode chosen was a great idea because it inspired watching new episodes.

[@Coyoteari]

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this kind of this could be traumatizing to a child, especially a very young one. Little kids don’t have a huge world yet, so their favorite shows are a big part of their world, and to have them just vanish with zero warning whatsoever? (esp if the parents don’t/can’t get the streaming services) - Maybe I was a sensitive kid but that would’ve legit scared me when I was little

[@doodoo2065]

This probably happened. As a lil child, i used to be so afraid of the notification that channels used to give u after the content was over for the day. For some reason, everytime it showed up it made me cry out of.. Fear? Im not sure. It wasnt due to me wanting to watch the tv, cuz that thingie that scared me only showed up after a long pitch black screen. Its funny cuz it is one of the only memories i have from such a young age Now imagine something like that happening to a child But with no explanation And all the shows just gone not for the day, but forever Edit; now that i think about it, i still get kinda nervous when something isnt working properly, specifically machines like a Playstation. That wasnt that funny at a young age with the Playstation 2, for some reason the ps2 likes to send u straight to hell if u fail to make dem games work

Nah, tv or cable won't die it'll just get rebranded, with all these exclusives?

the fascinating part of this for me is the fact that some of these ident bumpers clearly were *not* meant to go on as long as they did, e.g. Disney Channel UK; that "I Want This" excerpt was clearly a buffer while they were changing things behind-the-scenes. it almost seemed like a technical fault at first

Y’all remember when streaming services and television lived in harmony? Now they’re just recreating why everyone hated television- you use to have to buy all these channel packages just to get the channels you liked and streaming fixed it by making a bunch of movies and shows available on one/two platforms. Now, you have to buy Disney, Netflix, Hulu, fricking Amazon and even Paramount+??? There’s way more than that but like, god, come ON guys??? It’s the exact reason people disliked television channels packages but with streaming. I miss when it was just Netflix and Hulu and maybe Crunchyroll/Funimation if you were into anime.

@@orangecookie3132 You’re missing my point completely- actually, thank you for bringing up another point. Disney owns Hulu. The fact that they own it yet made another service for their owned IPs is beyond greedy. They could’ve put all their work on Hulu, blending the two onto a single service, but instead they make you pay for both. It’s insanely greedy.
