Shown before any Disney or Non-Disney film on the Disney channel.
Recorded off The Disney Channel Australia in 2002 (Via Austar)

[@StephyDee]

Every time the "A Whole New World" segment starts, I just....ugh, it makes me wanna CRY how beautiful. Nostalgia and pure Disney magic right there. When this version played back then, I had recently just gone to WDW, and it always reminded me just how much I loved that place. PLEASE oh please, never take this down! *TuT*

[@watchforever1724]

StephyDee me too

[@lisetteem588]

i think the music has that quality.. just like lee mack's baby crying at vienna... emotional response.. id like to see her now and if it still elicits that response and f she knows why..

[@malaikaholland8899]

This was my childhood I want the old Disney back such precious memories!

[@tinsote7176]

Malaika Holland I know! I don’t know why Eisner gets so much hate from the Disney fan community.

[@watchforever1724]

Tinsote this is an amazing intro and it holds up today

[@bluedreamer5000]

Oh wow, talk about childhood and good memories. This came on Saturdays and depending on whether or not we had our baths and were ready for church the next day, we could see it.

[@adrianayala5476]

Big part of my childhood, my family recorded so many movies on cassettes, good times.

[@watchforever1724]

Me too it was my childhood too

[@JB0523]

I used to look forward to this every Saturday as a kid ^_^ i miss childhood

I've been looking for this for so long. I keep finding the new intro, the one with 3d-like graphics and stuff, but at last I found this one. Also, I love the music transition to "A Whole New World". I remember singing along every time this intro showed up on my TV or VHS.

[@joaquin8051]

Old disney was the best :) us 90s kids had the best time of their movies and magical feelings.

[@milestaylor-charlemagne6311]

I remember seeing this as a kid. Everytime there was a Disney film, this always showed up. Use to love watching it with my Mum and Dad. Childhood memories!

[@hinarunaruhi5676]

What I was looking for! Gosh I feel so old this was so nostalgic....

[@Xaviergreco_]

I was looking for this too! This brings me back so many memories 😭

[@watchforever1724]

This brings back memories too that I wonder why Disney Intro opening’s can’t be this amazing like this

[@MrThetjf]

As soon as I saw the advert a great movie was coming straight after P.S. I love and miss the 90s

[@corbencrew7131]

Why do I remember this ending with Tinkerbell writing?

Your childhood and how this holds up

[@Alejandroigarabide]

There are 3 versions of this intro. Maybe you remember another one? There's one with Ariel at 0:08 and George of the Jungle instead of D'artagnan, and there's an abridged one.

Source of the Mandela effect.

[@aragorn1780]

I was thinking the same thing XD

[@guileniam]

What do you mean? How?

[@biancamidkiff]

Best part of my childhood was coming home from school and watching Disney Channel ❤

[@draph91]

that was my childhood right there,

[@MissyMishti2095]

i'm in my last year of high school now. Recently, I've been looking back on all my childhood memories, and they all seem to have one thing in common, disney. Every sunday night, I would watch this intro and whatever movie came with it ... when i got to high school, this wonderful world of disney wasn't airing anymore. Watching this now, I have tears of nostalgia, becoming more aware of the fact that I'm growing up. No matter what, I will always watch and love disney classics.

[@sanebear68]

As a child, I remember jamming with Sebastian, being locked up inside Beast's castle, soaring through the air on a magic carpet ride, winning the championship with the rest of the Ducks, rooting for Simba as he took on Scar, painting with all the colors of the wind, cheering for Quasimodo as he saved the day, going the distance with Hercules, fighting the Huns with Mulan, first arriving in Halloweentown with (the real) Marnie, and swinging from vine to vine with Tarzan and Jane...

[@isladeadchannellmao]

sanebear68 You have one hell of a crazy dream.

[@Honey0158]

I'm right there with you buddy. I'm right there with you.

[@monicamorgan3506]

Lord I just got some chills lol

[@jerrencartercrittersandfri3733]

Thankfully I still have part of this intro on VHS. This almost brings tears to my eyes

[@popoff21]

This makes me wanna cry thank God for Disney I still love it all to this day

[@swagqueen5233]

I never thought I would find this again :)

[@MrEightThreeOne]

Man, I used to love this program, I have so many memories of looking forward to seeing a Disney movie I had never seen before on this. I didn't get to watch a whole lot of Disney movies growing up, nor did I have cable TV, so this was a real treat. I am so happy they brought this back recently.

[@watchforever1724]

Me too .I’m 20 years old and looking back at this makes me happy

[@kanna231]

Now this is what I've remember in my childhood so much.

[@watchforever1724]

Me too .This was from my childhood too

[@moonbunnycakes]

I used to watch this every weekend. Then it ended. :(

[@aaronkiefer6208]

This brought back memories of Sunday nights at home as a kid. Always looked forward to Sunday night Disney movies

[@JSeaHorse14]

so there is one I do not know for movies...can anyone help me out? After peter pan and hook dual there is a circular window with a movie playing in it. anyone know what movie? Thanks

[@Alejandroigarabide]

20.000 leagues under the Sea, one of the first Disney live-action films. That's Captain Nemo fighting the giant squid. Now, in exchange, can you please identify the Tarzan-looking dude before Peter Pan, at 0:08? I don't think he is either George of the Jungle nor live-action Mowgli from 1994.

[@wallflowercat]

I love this intro, I also remeber the one before it, the one with Roger Rabbit I think? I wish I still had all the VHS tapes, nostalgia

[@yakatue]

Yo remember this comment you made 11 years ago

[@austinthevhsvideogamelover5265]

My grandma mary carol has a few recordable vhs tapes with part of this intro on it.

Believe it or not, Telemundo (a Spanish network) still uses this intro for Disney movies it airs as of 2015!

[@starbearskies]

Imagine just finally going here after years of seeing the intro over and over again. It makes me so happy and then cry

[@mnight207]

By far the best Disney opening! Miss the good old days

[@RebeccaBane]

i always listed all the movies as fast as I could whenever this intro would start up. usually the movies went by way too fast so i wouldn't be able to list them all!!

[@watchforever1724]

Rebecca me too

[@StephyDee]

Just hearing the music alone makes me cry. I always knew growing up that when this started, I was gonna have a fun night, watching quality Disney movies and making memories with the family. I miss the 90's something awful. TTmTT

[@czarylantoinetted.guanlao9163]

This intro was in my memory somewhere and I couldn't find it cuz I kept searching Disney Intro, now that I found it. I love this intro so much cuz it actually made me believe that Disney had magic

[@maskedlion2]

Ah yes, of course. I remember this one on Disney Channel back in early 2000’s during my moments of childhood years.

[@cchsram13]

Omg right in the childhood right here, the nostalgia watching this...

This was from childhood of course .This intro

[@TylerMusicBoi]

Takes me back to my childhood and me and my family watching the Sabrina The Teenage Witch movies and all the others they aired back then. I still have those tapes too.

[@TylerMusicBoi]

Well it aired as part of the Wonderful World of Disney back then. I have the tapes to prove it... also, you look pretty young, are you sure you were even around or at the very least remember what aired in 1997-98? I highly doubt it.

[@watchforever1724]

Tyler Talks! Me too

[@Movies4evaa]

Thank you! I have been searching for this clip for absolutely ages! When I was younger, I accidently taped over one my old VHS tapes, which contained certain elements like this clip from Disney Channel, UK in the 1990's. Therefore my childhood memories had been temporarily erased, but now they have thankfully been restored. I adored Disney channel in that particular era, and I am proud to say that I was a 90's kid.

[@deathswordsman023]

finally found this intro been looking for it for a while now thanks for the upload :D

[@mnight207]

This just gives me goosebumps. I LOVE the 90s. All the best shows, the best times......LOVE.......In a way im glad they dont have the shows they did. The memories always outlast the moments. A guy said to me once..."There is nothing else we have besides memories"

[@kamilahlindsey]

This intro really takes me back. Great memories.

[@watchforever1724]

Me too

[@snobey]

I have a feeling that this was used even in early 2010s

[@IdentificadorCanalSecundario]

On Latin America it was used until 2014 (I know because I'm Latin American)

[@Kevin-zp7zx]

C'est tellement beau de voir les vrais grands classiques Disney réuni presque dans le château 😭🤩✨💖👏

@Glexs30 there are 2 versions of this same intro, I think one was for the US and one for Europe of something like that. Search "German Intro - Wonderful World of Disney" for the one with Ariel

[@JomasterTheSecond]

MAAAAAAATE. Absolute nostalgia right there.

[@MJlova4eva]

This makes me so happy!!! AAAAAHHHH good memories from being a kid, eating pizza and watching Disney movies every friday night!!

back when disney intro was awesome my childhood where did you go

[@SachinPatel-dn3iv]

When i was younger every night at 6 disney channel use to put a movie on and this was the intro, man i've been looking for this intro for ages brings back memories:)

[@peterblue2708]

Well this used to be on Sunday nights on ABC. But mostly every Sunday I was always watching Fox. But this was a good lineup though. I don't know why they moved it to Saturday nights later on. But I guess moving to Saturdays made the ratings drop and now it's not there anymore on the network.

[@mnight207]

This makes me cry. I miss the good ol days so much. Running outside on those beautiful summer sundays and trying to bust down the door before 7pm so we could take a bath and watch Wonderful World Of Disney. Disney has turned into a profit monster. Walt would be absolutely appalled!

[@OnlyAtWaterlooRoad]

My childhood right here! I miss this so much this was so amazing as a child and still is

[@iaccik]

Oh!!! God!!! So beautiful!!! So moving!!! So touching!!! This Disney intro brings tears to my eyes!!! God!!! I love Disney with all my heart!!! I have always loved Disney and I always will in my life!!! I love the truly great American icon, the truly great international icon Walt Disney with all my heart!!! Don't you just love the United States of America?! It's the USA who created Walt Disney!!!

[@wendyfaubus1017]

I grew up in the 60s and 70s so this was a part of every Sunday evening watching with my family, including my grandparents. Wonderful movies and memories. Had I known what they were up to, supporting Israel and the occupation of Palestine, I would have been horrified. Even as a child I knew genocide was wrong.

[@Francyesko]

I remember this as a kid

[@silvereagle2061]

I used to watch WWOD and then Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. God how I miss those days.

[@coolcattigger]

i loved and remember this version - every sunday at 6pm or 7pm whenever a disney film was premiering on the disney channel, we'd sit down to watch it

[@TheDougOutFootballChannel]

7pm on a weekday or week night was the best time at that time waiting for a film to come on! Ah memories!

[@kingandrewcecil348]

This Wonderful World Of Disney intro was also seen on Disney Channel Southeast Asia from 1999-2003 (just before the channel re-branded in late-2003). I also recalled that from as of 1999 the old Mickey Mouse ID onscreen bug no longer had its trademark red and blue colors it had from 1996-1999; from 1999-2001 the old Mickey Mouse ID onscreen bug was colorless, and then from 2002-2003 the old Mickey Mouse ID regained its colors, though the color varies in each airing; for example it could be white and green (as pictured in this video) in one airing and then yellow and purple (like Toon Disney UK) in another airing.

I am shitting nostalgia because of this intro

[@SG1Mitchell]

Gimme a thumps up if you can name EVERY film referenced here, live action included

[@HumanTarget211]

Back when Disney was golden, and not the s**tstorm that it is today. Enchanted and The Princess and the Frog were the last bits of quality film-making that Disney managed to squeeze out before sinking into the urine-filled, feces-layered pit of teen sitcoms. Fortunately, films like Tangled and Frozen appear to be the rungs on the ladder that seems to be pulling Disney out of that pit and gradually elevating it back into golden-age, quality entertainment.

[@maddoxcox]

I like Tangled, but frozen is bad bc it is popular and the let it go was annoying, if let it go was not famously annoying, i would have liked frozen

[@brittanytatman6318]

Princess and the frog was crap too. They completely ruined the original story

[@huh4206]

Beauty and The Beast was awesome!
