Now its basically the Cartoon Network of Disney Channel where they play cartoons all day. They air new episodes of their cartoons on Disney Channel and Disney XD at the same time.

[@gabepollock1641]

I will never gather why Disney didn't keep the Jetix branding, given how much of Toon Disney it had swallowed up by the end. I was fortunate enough to have grandparents whose cable package bundled in Toon Disney with the rest of the kid's networks (unlike my parents cable package where it was a paid add-on), so I spent pretty much every weekend with Pucca, Yin Yang Yo, Oban Star Racers, and most of all, the Power Rangers.

[@Aanguchihaa]

I believe that power rangers was a big part of it tbh Disney didnt wanna make powerrangers anymore because it wasnt marketable enough they rushed RPM to get rid of them and fulfill their contract

FIRST off: your hair is giving Draculaura and i'm LIVING for it; second of all I remember Jetix, and recall the retooling to Disney XD. We were slightly late to getting cable proper and being a little child then I saw the tail-end of the Jetix era. Then again, I suppose I've been able to catch the tail-end of a lot of eras like the previous millenium and JUST barely now existing within the American Girl Doll Historical timeline. So I guess I don't get to suffer the whiplash of becoming historical like my mom did when the character Julie was released. You know what DOES give me whiplash is your intro with Locked Out Of Heaven playing in the background because I was in 8th grade and went to larp camp for the first time then.

3 fun/sad facts: 1. Disney XP was censored aka the content they used from certain KZbinrs were censored if the creators used certain language 2. as of 2024 toon disney was the last place a a majority of show to be seen because they have yet to be put on Disney+ 3. Despite being a called a boy's channel Disney XD's 2 most watched shows aka The Owl House and Amphibia are part of the Thurop Van Orman Flapjack creators universe aka a universe of creators that link to other creators that were part of the Flapjack crew

So i was old enough to watch toon disney - i was watching circa 2004. I am incredibly nostalgic for it because i found older Disney cartoons there ( Pepper Ann , Recess, Gargoyles) but also had the honor of watching The Weekenders & Filmore as they aired. Crazily enough, Disney Plus has yet to put the latter shows on their platform & i find that so depressing. It was an amazing era of toon television for the people who were around for it

I’ve been curious about the phenomenon of some of the cartoons moving from Cartoon Network to Adult Swim in recent years and what that means regarding the cartoons and their content compared to what’s popular on the channel now.

[@Gametoon05]

I always seemed to watch the secondary channels way more than the main channels when I was younger. Like, I barely watched Disney Channel, mostly just Disney XD. Same when it comes to Nickelodeon and Nicktoons. Anyway, I was born 2005, so I wasn't around to see Toon Disney. I was basically just watching preschool channels during the time it was around when I was alive. But Disney XD is one of the most nostalgic channels for me, particularly in the early 2010s. I remember being obsessed with shows like Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, Kick Buttowski, and Randy Cunningham. My dad's a big Marvel geek, so all the channel's Marvel content gave us another thing to bond over. It's where he introduced me to Spider Man and His Amazing Friends, one of his favorite childhood cartoons, and we'd also watch new episodes of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes whenever they came out.

Technically, all the power rangers shows are just one show. They just have a new title for every season. As a kid, I spent every weeknight watching power rangers on Jetix. One time, the TV guide listed Power Rangers Mystic Force as season 14 and that's when I caught on.

[@minervadetauro7646]

TBF each Power Rangers season is kind of their own standalone thing... They are kinda like parts in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

[@marlonclark-ky6ub]

new title and new suits each season

[@BoldAndBrash5683]

Technically yes, and technically no. From Season 1 (MMPR 1) - Season 6 (PR In Space), the cast is moved directly from one season to the next. Afterwards, there would usually be a team up with the prior cast. But to save on cost and to make it more bearable, they would completely change the cast, suits, and team theming. And for the most part, the story remains sequential, save for Season 13 - SPD (taking place in 2025, instead of 2005 when it was released), Season 17 - RPM (taking place in continuity separate from the rest), Seasons 21 and 22 - Dino Charge (Also taking place in a separate continuity due to time travel shenanigans). Power Rangers is weird.

So many amazing memories of Toon Disney and Jetix! Those were definitely my favorites. I have some good memories of Disney XD too, but truthfully I remember Toon Disney and Jetix more fondly and I could make a whole list of the incredible shows that I wish were available on Disney Plus but are not, quite a few of them for some reasons which are really dumb. At the same time though I'm thankful about what happened with Power Rangers because that gave us “Once and Always” and it gave us other things like the Boom Studios comics and the DVD packages. So truthfully I’m glad that Power Rangers was taken away from them. However there are definitely many shows that I miss a lot like Get Ed, W. I.T.C.H., and Oban Star Racers. Thank you for sharing this with us and for sharing your thoughts and opinions about it. It definitely makes me smile to see people still talk about this channel and what it used to be.

Haven't started the video yet but I LOVED Jetix as a kid. In my area on DirecTV, Jetix and Toon Disney were their own separate channels so Jetix was basically 24/7 anime and cartoons for me outside of Cartoon Network. I was legit remember watching Jetix when it came to a permanent end and just saw the logo go to sleep for good, I was in actual denial. The next day came and the channel was just gone, taking some time to be replaced by Disney XD, I was legitmately tweaking over where my favorite channel went for days that my family had to eventually call DirecTV and ask where the channel went. I was super upset to hear confirmation that the channel was actually gone for good and when Disney XD came around, I actually refused to watch the channel for quite a while until around the time after Pair of Kings started airing. I ALWAYS get excited to talk about Jetix in any capacity whenever I see the chance.

[@theluigifan1]

I definitely remember watching Toon Disney/Jetix far more than I ever did the early years of Disney XD. I mostly watched Disney XD for Sonic Underground reruns and Naruto Shippuden. (Yes, it did air there once upon a time) None of its original programming appealed to me much despite being part of its demographic at the time. At least before they started dumping their original Disney Television Animation shows like Gravity Falls, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, Amphibia and The Owl House on there. Toon Disney, however? The branding was so iconic for me and I still remember watching old reruns of DuckTales, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Timon & Pumbaa and such on it. On the Jetix side of things, I caught stuff like Digimon, Pucca, Power Rangers: Ninja Storm and Power Rangers: Dino Thunder from time to time.

I can imagine that Jetix was a bigger deal here in Europe compared to America, with it being its own channel over here. I grew up in Denmark and I got Jetix around the same time as I got Disney Channel, as they showed up in the same cable tv bundles. However, Toon Disney was mostly a satelite channel over here so I never had it and I didn't know anyone that had it. Personally I didn't really watch Jetix as I wasn't really into the more action focused shows growing up, but I did watch H2O as that was broadcasted on Jetix here (and they sadly stopped broadcasting it when the channel changed to Disney XD)

Despite being a huge Nick kid, I also watched their competitors' sister channels, Boomerang and (Toon) Disney XD. I vividly remember watching Jetix, with Yin Yang Yo! being the only show I recall. I believe my first time watching Disney XD was when they briefly acquired Sonic Underground (yes, they actually had that show). It wasn't until late 2015, when I started watching Gravity Falls, that I began watching the channel more frequently. I tuned in to Disney XD mainly to watch GF, as well as reruns of Disney's then-current animation lineup. My family finally got rid of cable in the spring of 2022, and by that time, the channel had acquired some Nat Geo programs and produced a couple of original shows (which also took online clips and put them on TV, from my understanding). Nowadays, the channel's just mostly reruns, with Beyblade being their sole anime. I enjoyed this essay and thought you did it justice, Lula.

The transition of watching Digimon on 4kids TV every saturday morning with other popular anime vs having to wait for a specific VHS recording or timeslot of it when it made its move over, as a kid I was so confused, and its why I never really watched the series in full proper. It wasn't til I was in high school and had access to Anime Watching sites that I sat and watched Adventure and 02 in Full. (the dub is actually hilarious if you want a good laugh) I still remember watching super monkey kid hyper force go and CRYING MY EYES OUT when the kid had a love interest that turned out to be a villain turned good guy that had to DIE???? in the same episode of the love story and it broke my little kid heart.

Currently Disney XD is just showing reruns of stuff that currently exists on Disney channel. There’s a small anime block on Sat/Sun early mornings and on the rare occasion they’ll air a mini marathon of older cancelled shows like Star Vs, Wander Over Yonder, Duck Tales (2017), etc. in the dead air hours. I remember one of the reasons Jetix fans were upset about the transition to XD was that you could tell that they didn’t have anything really ready to fill up the schedule when it first went live and the things that they could have used to pad schedule that fit the esthetic they were going for was ignored in the favor of Disney channel comedy reruns. It got to the point where people would always air quote “for Boys” when ever promotional stuff was brought up. Even more so when the ratings showed more girls were watching the channel than they had intended. 😂 Never saw Sky Runner but I remember the marketing for it. It always felt like it was meant to air back before the transition but somehow got delayed till afterwards.

OMG, you unlocked so many memories!! I remember watching Jetix a lot as a kid (I can remember very clearly it was between Nick and Cartoon Network on my cable package), and since it was a standalone channel it had an even wider programming, I remember watching shows like WITCH, all the Digimon shows (Especially Frontier), Sonic X, TMNT 2003, Ying Yang Yo, Pucca, Dave the Barbarian, Galactic Football, Code Lyoko, and oddly enough, the Fairly Oddparents (TLDR Nelvana sold the airing rights to Fox Kids in Latin América and Disney kept the rights to air New episodes until around 2006 where they agreed a split with Nickelodeon to only air up to the first half of s5 in Jetix, and kept airing reruns all the way into the early years of Disney XD), in fact the final 2 years of jetix their programa programming was kinda oversaturated with just FOP and Pucca before the whole DXD rebrand. Also early Disney XD was GOATed too. Awesome video as always!

Interesting to see the evolution of the channel and how it impacted the stuff that I watched as a kid. Where I live (Romania), aside from Cartoon Network, the GOATs of cartoons were Fox Kids and Jetix. Never knew Disney was behind it until a decade after. I don't know much about Jetix Play as I didn't have the channel on my TV. In my country there was no Disney XD, the transition was made from Jetix to Disney Channel in 2009 (we didn't have Disney Channel at all at that time), first by having I think a 2-hour segment with the heavy hitters (Hannah Monata, Zac and Cody, HSM movies) which then completely engulfed the channel, becoming Disney Channel (this was similar to how Jetix took over Fox Kids in 2005). Most cartoons and sitcoms from both the main and XD channels were mashed together, but I could tell something was different with the shows from Disney XD (especially since the first shows didn't have a laugh track, but I think it made them even better, loved Zeke and Luther). We never got those special blocks of content so it just aired random episodes all the time lol, with a movie here and there.

Disney XD was where they put some of their best shows iykyk. Motorcity, Tron: Uprising, Wander, etc. But their fates were unfortunately sealed on arrival

I watched the Disney XD a lot latter, the only show I would watched Two More eggs. I have never seen anyone talk about that show or mentioned it! Thanks for the little mention! Would cool to see a deep dive!

It's interesting to learn about kids channels in the mid 2010s because I feel like that's when streaming kinda took over. My family dropped cable in 2013 so my Disney, Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network nostalgia kinda drops off around then.

In the UK, Disney XD was always next to the other kids channels! It was actually below Nickelodeon and above Disney Channel, at least that’s how it was on my TV

I'm so happy you made this video- I had recently been scrolling through Disney+ and crossed paths with the show Pickle and Peanut. The show feels more like an adult swim show which really threw me for a loop while watching it back. I wasn't sure how popular it was so I looked up the title hoping to find any sort of fanbase but wasn't able to. I was so disappointed because the show was such a staple in my childhood for some reason😭

I vaguely remember watching Disney toons but Jetix was the one I grew up watching. Oban, Power Rangers, Jackie Chan adventures etc. were all shows I tuned into and I even remembered the first ad for Disney XD. Then I watched some of the shows like Aaron Stone, Kick Buttowski, and I’m in the band. It was around the time when they had more gaming related stuff is where I kinda stopped watching this network but recently I saw what they were airing on there and it was kinda of a mixture of reruns and maybe new shows like big city greens and this superhero show that I think the heroes were fighting ghosts.

22:20 Yes it was a series. I remember Ross Lynch had one (and they used a song also featured in Austin and Ally that he sang (and Sabrina Carpenter sang it in one episode)). I also remember the dog from Dog With a Blog had the got a short about him. I think they were called"That's just who I am" after the song used in most of them. Also, something nobody else seems to remember is that Disney Channel aired shows from Disney XD (like Lula said, episodes premiered on Disney Channel and re-runs were on Disney XD) in a segment called "Disney XD on Disney Channel". I think it was on Saturday nights. I think they were going out of their way to get more people to watch Disney XD but it didn't really work.

wander over yonder is the show everrrrrr (I love your channel btw) :3

[@littl3d0ll68]

Dan saying that DisneyXD was so far away from the other channels is funny to me because for me it was always right above them LMAO

[@ripabigfatoneforme]

The Disney channel was 50 for me and Disney XD was like channel 115 😭

[@MikeJr9284]

I remember being 11 when Jetix and Toon Disney became Disney XD. Even though I grew up watching both Jetix and Disney XD, I kinda prefer Jetix.

[@joseffthomas10]

I can’t express how much I loved Jetix growing up (mostly watching it through my grandparents satellite tv), because that was what introduced me to: Newer Power Rangers series, Dinosaur King, Kid vs Kat, Jimmy Two-Shoes, Yon-Yang Yo, and Total Drama Island. The only other cartoon channel that came close to admiration of this was Cartoon Network, which at the time (late Noughties early 2010’s) was no small feat. I was able to transition to XD shortly after, but I stopped watching around the time Gravity Falls started airing. I still remember that era fondly though.

7:17 "Digimon: digital monsters" was my childhood 😊😊😢

[@madisonj683]

You should definitely cover the channel Hasboro had! I remember the littlest pet shop show and my little ponyo being in there but I don’t remember anything else

[@pokemontrainer5678]

It was called "the hub" and it was good. My little sister enjoyed shows like LPS, mlp, and pound puppies while I could watch original transformers (I personally didn't care for prime.) And gi Joe as well as others.

[@CubeAtlantic]

Jetix was my favorite channel as a kid & middle schooler it was a unique & probably even relaxin' vibe :D

[@cassandraburns9073]

Oh my god. Ive been thinking about Yin Yang Yo for YEARS trying to remember the name!!! Thank you!!!!!!
