The Original Disney Channel??
Allow me to alert everyone to the following:
THE DISNEY CHANNEL STARTED IN 1983 AND I ASSURE YOU KIM POSSIBLE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
#eighties baby rage #yes i had cable in the early eighties #i still wake up singing “duck presents na na na na na na”
Ummmm, AND the fact that Boy Meets World was an ABC Production for TGIF — BEFORE ABC was purchased by Disney, so BMW *aired* on the Disney Channel as a lineup staple, but only AFTER its run on ABC ended! Same with Sister, Sister.
Other DCOS that people always forget —
Flash Forward — This show was AMAZING. Very like a cross between Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens.
Before Hannah Montana did the regular-kid-slash-popstar thing, Lizzie McGuire did it in Rome.
Before Lizzie McGuire did it? JETT JACKSON INVENTED THE GENRE. Action TV hero goes home to North Carolina to get a regular high school education, and brought the filming of his FUCKING AWESOME SPY SHOW with him. HANNAH MONTANA AND KIM POSSIBLE MIXED TOGETHER, BUT BETTER, AND FIRST.
The Jersey. This show was so boring I can’t even explain.
I wasn’t allowed to watch this show.
This show was an Australian import. It was WEIRD but it was really good, and I definitely almost drowned like four times trying to be Neri.
Best kids’ show of all time; your arguments are invalid.
THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB. HELLO?! *MICKEY MOUSE.* DISNEY Channel. This show was sort of terrifying, but ALSO DO YOU SEE: RYAN GOSLING, BRITNEY SPEARS, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, JC CHASEZ, AND KERI RUSSEL. You think TODAY’s Disney kids constitute a stable of all-stars?
I LAUGH.
The Disney Channel used to show actual cartoons. It was nice.
FUCK “ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK,” THIS SHOW WAS TERRIFYING. It was also basically Supernatural before Supernatural was a thing. Well, Supernatural mixed with The Partridge Family (which is part of what made it terrifying).
This was the world’s most exhausting workout. Getting to gym class in Kindergarten was always like, “Ugh, goddamn, whyyy, we all already DID Mousercise today! Please, no more running and jumping and squatting and shimmying!”
I wasn’t allowed to watch this show, either. It kind of looks like Twin Peaks For Kids.
ALSO, JUST SAYING, ALL IT TAKES IS A QUICK WIKIPEDIA TO REVEAL THAT ALMOST NONE OF THE SHOWS IN THE ORIGINAL PHOTOSET EXISTED IN THE 1990s.

For those that don’t know, Robert Sherman died tonight (March 5, 2012) in London. He and his brother, Richard, wrote songs for Mary Poppins, The Aristocats, and The Jungle Book. They also wrote “it’s a Small World.”

Because I can. And you need this in your life.
The best part about this movie is that it takes place in 2025.
Reblog if you remember when weekends meant Zoog Disney.

“I think the people hoping for a lesbian princess need to be reminded that Disney movies are aimed at kids. I don’t think there is anything wrong with being gay, but to push the idea at kids before they understand what that means will only confuse them. Also as a parent, I would be pissed at Disney for addressing such controversial topics in a movie intended for children”.
I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this. Generally I don’t pay much attention to opinion blogs because a lot of people are under the impression that there is no such thing as a ‘wrong opinion’ (which there is) and talking to said people is much like talking to a pile of rocks, except even rocks would be preferable to these kind of ridiculous people.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being gay, but -” Nope. Stop right there. If you truly think there is nothing wrong with being gay, then that would be the end of it. You would not have this opinion. There is no ‘but’. Queer couples should have the same representation in children’s movies as heteronormative couples because - gasp! - there is nothing wrong with being gay!
You speak of ‘confusing’ the kids - tell me, though. How? How would this confuse them? When children watch Disney films, they are not thinking about sex. When they see Ariel and Eric kiss, or Aladdin and Jasmine, or Aurora and Phillip, or every goddamn couple in the entire franchise, they are not thinking about penises and vaginas, they are watching two people who love each other kiss. It’s simple and actually incredibly clear. There is nothing confusing about two people in love.
See, heterosexuality and heteronormativity is so ingrained in our culture that, most of the time, we don’t even realize it’s there. This confession is a prime example of that. And to assume that representing a gay couple would somehow be ‘pushing’ homosexuality on them is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Considering sexuality is an innate part of us, something we are born with and cannot change, you could show a child nothing but animated gay couples going on adventures and falling in love and if the child is straight, they’ll still be straight at the end of it. Representation is not about trying to coerce anyone into being anything they’re not - it is about shedding light on the people of society who have been kept in the dark, about teaching children that not being the norm is okay.
Do you realize that there are children out there with gay parents? Gay relatives? Gay friends? That there are children out there - prepare yourself - who are gay? What do you think it’s like for them to see the same boy and girl fall in love over and over? That what they feel isn’t ‘appropriate’? That what they feel is ‘too confusing’ to be displayed?
It is statements and opinions like these that reinforce homophobia and make kids afraid to be themselves. This is what keeps people in the closet, in denial, afraid to come out, because the majority - heterosexuals like yourself, I presume - have condoned homosexuality/being queer as being ‘too confusing’ when it’s been proven time and time again that it’s just as natural as anything else.
TRIGGER WARNING: BLATANT FUCKING RACISM.
Ok.
So. Disney Channel’s relatively new show Jessie features a girl nannying for the adopted children of a pair of hollywood moguls. One of these children is the Indian boy named Ravi, who comes into the clip at about 0:50.
This character is pretty much the most blatant racism I have seen on a tv show, especially directed towards kids, in a very long fucking time, if not IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
The whole character hinges on the idea that Ravi is Indian! and has quirky Indian culture! and doesn’t know about American things! and has a lizard named MR. KIPLING and says things like “I AM A HUMAN SAMOSA!!” when inside a sleeping bag and just
that’s it
that’s the joke
the joke is that he is Indian
I mean seriously just watch this clip I cannot even talk about this
The fact that this is airing right now and no one is outraged and Disney is AIRING THIS RIGHT NOW
makes me want to punch things and also cry out of fucking frustration this is terrible

This was the moment that I knew I had found a life-long favorite show. I VIVIDLY remember the first time this episode aired.
