History [edit]

The anthology series was an outgrowth of Walt Disney looking for funding for Disneyland with his brother Roy Disney approaching all the big-3 networks with American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres taking the bargain for programming for ABC.[4]

Walt Disney's Disneyland (1954–1958) [edit]

Although Walt Disney was the first major film producer to venture into television, two established contained movie producers successfully ventured into television product before Disney, Hal Roach and Jerry Fairbanks. Disney wanted to produce a television plan to finance the development of the Disneyland amusement park. Later being turned down by both CBS and NBC, Disney eventually signed a deal with ABC (which had merged with United Paramount Theaters in 1953) on March 29, 1954. The show independent teasers for Walt'due south park, as well as episodes representing life in one of the park's main sections: Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, and Frontierland, with the opening titles used from its inception until the show's motion to NBC in 1961, showing the entrance to Disneyland itself, likewise as the iv same lands, i of which was so identified as the main feature of that evening'southward program.

Consequently, "Davy Crockett" and other pioneers of the Sometime West, and American history in general, appeared in "Frontier Land". Similarly, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea might be the focus of an evening spent in "Hazard Country", although a documentary on the pic could also be possibly presented as a topic for such episodes, including clips from the actual flick. Topics for "Fantasy Land" would include either actual cartoons, and blithe films, or documentaries on "The Making of ..." (such equally behind-the-scenes presentation of Peggy Lee singing the duet of the wicked Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp, or the barbershop quartet of lost dogs in the municipal Domestic dog Pound); excerpts from a True-Life Adventure documentary might also be included (for case, one on the life and works of beavers and their dam-building) or those using stroboscopic cease-action photography (such as investigating what really happened when a pelting-drib cruel in a puddle, as office of a "Fantasy Land" episode), explaining the techniques of cartoon animation. The multiplane photographic camera used to create the three-dimensional effects of Bambi was also a topic for a "Fantasy Land"-set telecast. In ane episode, iv dissimilar artists were given the task of drawing the same tree, with each artist using his own preferred ways of drawing and imagining a tree;[ citation needed ] this led to cartoon examples of differently animated trees, as in some of the early Lightheaded Symphonies shorts, and later total-length animated films. "Tomorrow State" was an opportunity for the Disney studio staff to present cutting-edge scientific discipline and technology, and to predict possible futures, such as futuristic automobiles and highways, and featured Wernher von Braun as an on-air technical consultant in Homo and the Moon, which aired Dec 28, 1955. This format remained basically unchanged through the 1980s, though new material was scarce in later on years. Other episodes were segments from Disney films such as Seal Island and Alice in Wonderland, or cartoons of Donald Duck and other Disney standbys.

The plan spawned the Davy Crockett craze of 1955 with the airing of a three-episode series (not shown over the course of consecutive weeks) nigh the historical American frontiersman, starring Fess Parker in the title part. Millions of dollars of merchandise relating to the title grapheme were sold, and the theme song, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett", became a hitting tape that yr. Three historically based 60 minutes-long programs aired during belatedly 1954/early on 1955, and were followed up by two dramatized installments the following yr. The Television receiver episodes were after edited into 2 theatrical films.

On July 17, 1955, the opening of Disneyland was covered on a live tv special, Dateline: Disneyland,[five] which is not technically considered to be part of the series. It was hosted by Art Linkletter, with whom Walt Disney had worked out a deal prior to the opening to allow Linkletter to charter a shop on Main Street in return for the broadcast.[6] Fine art Linkletter was assisted past Bob Cummings and Ronald Reagan, and the plan featured various other guests, including various appearances of Walt himself as he dedicated the diverse lands of Disneyland.[7]

Walt Disney Presents (1958–1961) [edit]

In 1958, the serial was retitled Walt Disney Presents [8] and moved to a Friday-dark timeslot; by 1960, ABC had switched information technology to Dominicus nights, where information technology remained for 21 years. During this iteration, The Peter Tchaikovsky Story, an episode fabricated to promote Walt'south latest animated characteristic, Sleeping Beauty, was one of the first stereo simulcasts on TV; in this case it was 3 channel stereo. FM radio stations across the country carried the left aqueduct at the same time as ABC broadcast the Boob tube prove in mono, which served as a center channel, and AM radio stations circulate the correct channel. In the 2d half of the bear witness, a lengthy prune of Sleeping Dazzler was shown, with its half dozen channels (70mm version) mixed downward into 3 for the circulate. Walt apparently wanted people to run into Sleeping Beauty in 70 mm, then, in the introduction, he explained the difference betwixt 35 mm and lxx mm and held upwardly a carte du jour with both sizes on it.[9] In addition to episodes devoted to the latest additions at Disneyland, many episodes during this period were Westerns such as "Texas John Slaughter" and "Elfego Baca", while others talked about the United States' burgeoning efforts to explore outer space and others, such as "Moochie of the Piffling League", were set in the then-present day. Some episodes even mixed alive-activity and animation, showing Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Fleck 'n' Dale, Professor Owl and Jiminy Cricket talking with Walt himself, while 1 1959 episode (titled The Adventures of Flake 'n' Dale) turned the spotlight on Fleck 'due north' Dale, combining their theatrical cartoons with mixed media wrap-around footage including the chipmunks' ain theme song. The episode's genre is a live action/blithe musical one-act, and as the championship suggests, it stars the titular chipmunks. At the end of the episode, Chip 'northward' Dale say (singing) their goodbyes to the audience and return to their nut home on the counter hoping the audience enjoyed their show.

Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (1961–1969) [edit]

Although the basic format remained the same, the series moved to NBC on September 24, 1961, to have advantage of that network'due south power to circulate programming in colour.[5] In addition, Walt Disney's relationship with ABC had soured as the network resisted selling its stake in the theme park before doing so in 1960.[10] In a display of foresight, Disney had filmed many of the earlier shows in color, allowing them to easily be repeated on NBC; since all simply three of Disney's feature-length films were also made in colour (the 3 black-and-white exceptions were The Shaggy Canis familiaris, The Absent-Minded Professor, and Son of Flubber, all family comedies starring Fred MacMurray), they could now also be telecast in that format.

To emphasize the new feature, the series was retitled Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Colour when NBC began ambulation it.[11] The first NBC episode even dealt with the principles of color, as explained by a new graphic symbol named Ludwig Von Drake (voiced by Paul Frees), a bumbling professor with a thick High german accent, who was the uncle of Donald Duck. Von Drake was the get-go Disney character created specifically for television receiver.

Walt Disney's Wonderful Globe of Color title sequence

Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, 12 years after the album series premiered. While the circulate that aired three days later his death featured a memorial tribute from Huntley-Brinkley Report ballast Chet Huntley with pic and tv star Dick Van Dyke,[12] the introductions that Walt already filmed prior to his death continued to air for the remainder of the season. Later on that, the studio decided that Walt's persona as host was such a central function of the show's appeal to viewers that the host segment was dropped.

The Wonderful Globe of Disney (1969–1979) [edit]

The series was retitled The Wonderful World of Disney in September 1969, by which time the color distinction was no longer needed as all large iii networks were all broadcasting in color. It continued to gain solid ratings, oft ranking in the top twenty, until the mid-1970s.

In 1976, Disney showed its hit 1961 film The Parent Trap on television receiver for the offset fourth dimension, every bit a 2½-hour special. This marked a major pace in broadcasting for the studio, which had never shown one of its more popular films on boob tube in a time slot longer than an hour (although information technology had shown Now Y'all See Him, Now You Don't and Napoleon and Samantha in a two-hr format in 1975).[13] Walt Disney Productions also began running some of its multiepisode tv set programs, such equally 1962's Sammy The Way-Out Seal, equally televised feature films on the album series. A slightly edited version of the 1954 Disney film 20,000 Leagues Under the Ocean made its television debut every bit a two-hr special on NBC in October 1976.[13] Several other Disney films, some of them not especially successful (such as Superdad, which was an outright flop in its initial theatrical release) were also aired on the program in the grade of ii-hr broadcasts that year. However, the multiepisode format for feature films had not been discontinued; equally late as 1981, films such every bit Pollyanna were yet being shown on the Disney program in several installments running a week apart.[13]

During the early 1970s, the show began to increasingly concentrate less on animated cartoons and dramatic or one-act films, and began to identify an emphasis on nature-oriented programs (such every bit the Truthful-Life Adventures).[13]

The show'south continued ratings success in the post-Walt era came to an end during the 1975–76 season. At this time, Walt Disney Productions was facing a decline in fortunes due to falling box-office revenues, while NBC as a whole was likewise slipping in the ratings. The anthology series became even more than dependent on airings of live-action theatrical features, its Truthful-Life Adventures, reruns of older episodes, and cartoon compilations. Nothing from the Disney animated features canon aired, with the exceptions of Alice in Wonderland and Dense, as role of a long-standing policy placed on the plan by Disney. Additionally, in 1975, when CBS regained the broadcast rights to the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie The Sorcerer of Oz, it was scheduled opposite Disney, equally it had been between 1960 and 1968. At that time, telecasts of that picture show were highly rated almanac events, which largely attracted the same family audience every bit the Disney series. From 1968 to 1975, when NBC held the television rights to Oz (which it had acquired from CBS in 1967), information technology commonly pre-empted Disney to show it. Yet, the prove's stiffest weekly competition came from CBS'southward newsmagazine threescore Minutes.

In 1975, an subpoena to the Prime Time Access Rule gave the Dominicus 7:00 pm Eastern Time slot back to the networks, assuasive NBC to move Disney back by a one-half-hour. Information technology likewise immune CBS to schedule sixty Minutes at 7:00 pm Eastern Time starting on December 7; prior to this, sixty Minutes had aired at 6:00 pm Eastern and did not brainstorm its seasons until afterwards the National Football League season ended. Disney roughshod out of the top thirty, while threescore Minutes had its ratings rise significantly.

Disney'due south Wonderful Earth (1979–1981) [edit]

In September 1979, the studio agreed to then-NBC president Fred Silverman'southward request for changes to the program. The show shortened its title to Disney'south Wonderful World, and updated the opening sequence with a computer-generated logo and disco-styled theme song, but largely kept the aforementioned format. The issues for the show connected. As a issue of the ratings strength of sixty Minutes, compounded by low ratings, increasingly less original textile, and frequent pre-emptions (primarily due to sporting events such as NFL game telecasts),[xiv] NBC cancelled Disney in 1981.[15] Ane cistron that was beyond the control of either Disney or NBC was a 94-solar day strike by the Screen Actors' Guild that cut the number of shows for the 1980–1981 season,[16] but the harm was done notwithstanding.

Walt Disney (1981–1983) [edit]

Following NBC'south annunciation that it would driblet the anthology serial, CBS picked up the plan and began airing it on Saturdays at 8:00 pm Eastern Fourth dimension, in September 1981. Despite a more elaborate credit sequence and another title change, to simply Walt Disney, the series' format remained unchanged. During the 1981–1982 season, the serial had a total season'southward worth of material again, only little of it was new. Among the piffling that really was new were a scattering of pilots based on Pollyanna, Escape to Witch Mountain, and The Apple Dumpling Gang, simply only the last of the three pilots was sold and became the one-half-hour sitcom Gun Shy the following season, 1 of the studio's outset entries in that genre simply only lasted six episodes.

The 1982–1983 season had plenty fabric to fill the fourth dimension slot, but virtually all of it was pre-existing textile, the alone exception existence the celebrity-laden opening ceremony of Epcot on October 23. It also did not assist matters that NBC slotted the family-friendly sitcoms Unequal'rent Strokes and Silver Spoons at 8:00 pm and viii:xxx pm up against it to draw children away from CBS. Subsequently moving to Tuesday at the beginning of 1983, it went on hiatus on February 15 while the aforementioned Gun Shy took up the second half of its time slot. When it came dorsum for summertime reruns on May 3, information technology was still on Tuesday at viii:00 pm; its terminal network broadcast was on September 24, bringing an uninterrupted 29-year run on all three networks to a shut.

The finish of the testify coincided with the launch of the studio's cable tv network, the Disney Channel. While ratings were a factor, the final determination to end the testify came from Walt Disney Productions' then-CEO Card Walker, who felt that having both the show and the new aqueduct active would outcome in cannibalization of viewership.[17] The new channel would provide a home for the prove in reruns for the side by side two decades, but for the time being, Disney's presence on U.South. network TV would be limited to the occasional holiday special, theme park anniversary, or drawing compilation.

The Disney Sunday Picture (1986–1988) [edit]

Afterward the studio – which was rechristened as the Walt Disney Company in 1986 – underwent a change in management, Disney sought to bring back some sort of programming to circulate tv. Their efforts led to the premiere of The Disney Sunday Pic, which debuted on February 2, 1986, on ABC.[xviii] Many names were considered to serve as presenter for the revived show, including Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Cary Grant, Tom Hanks,[17] Walter Cronkite, Roy Due east. Disney (who closely resembled his uncle), and fifty-fifty Mickey Mouse.[xix] The studio finally decided to have Michael Eisner, the company's recently hired CEO, host the serial. Although he was not a performer, after filming a test video with his wife Jane and a fellow member of his executive team (which required multiple takes), studio management believed he could practise the hosting chore. Eisner hired Michael Kay, a manager of political commercials for and then-U.South. Senator Bill Bradley, to assistance him better his on-camera performance.[19]

The Disney Lord's day Moving-picture show initially aired as ABC's pb-off programme on Sundays, running from 7:00 to nine:00 pm Eastern Time.[eighteen] Past this indicate, the format was similar to a movie-of-the-week. Gary Barton, a Disney senior vice president, was in accuse of the programme. Help Wanted: Kids was the first episode's film. Other first revival year films were, Immature Again, The Richest Cat in the Globe, I-Human (starring Scott Bakula),[20] and My Town. Sometimes the slot would feature a special instead of dramatic material, such every bit "Disney Goes to the Oscars" featuring the studio'due south Academy Laurels winners, and "The Greatest Moments in Disney Animation".[18] A handful of Disney Aqueduct original films fabricated their network television debuts during these iteration as well,[21] but the program did not present any motion-picture show made by Disney's Touchstone subsidiary, as such films were not considered appropriate for children. Notwithstanding, Splash, Too, a sequel to the 1984 motion picture, aired on the series over two weeks in May 1988. The series had increased Disney park attendance and ABC's Lord's day night ratings for the evening by an boilerplate 27% for the rest of the flavor. Disney, wanting to go far a regular viewing habit, gave ABC additional films from its library, including Old Yeller, The Apple Dumpling Gang and Candleshoe for the normal rerun mid-year period. The Concluding Electric Knight series picture show produced a spin-off, originally to be called Karate Child for ABC's 1987 season.[21]

Despite improving ABC'due south numbers, the program'southward ratings were never stiff equally the established 60 Minutes and scripted mystery serial Murder, She Wrote on CBS, both of which Disney was competing with for viewers, remained the leading primetime programs on Dominicus nights. In 1987, ABC reduced The Disney Dominicus Movie from two hours to 1. The move did not help drive ratings, and the network decided not to renew its contract with Disney or pick up a fourth flavour of the 2d iteration of the anthology series.

The Disney Sunday Picture show was as well being run on the Disney Channel, also hosted by Eisner.[2]

The Magical Earth of Disney (1988–1990) [edit]

In the spring of 1988, NBC decided to renew its association with the company afterwards it cutting ties to the anthology series vii years earlier; the network brought the serial, at present named The Magical Globe of Disney, to serve as the lead-in of its Sunday lineup in September 1988. As the plan had washed during its final season as The Disney Sunday Movie, The Magical Globe of Disney ran for one hour, airing at 7:00 pm Eastern Time; Michael Eisner also returned as its presenter. During this period, the bear witness attempted to reintroduce the rotating format the show started out with in 1954.[22] Information technology besides introduced new versions of Walt-era movies and TV shows such as The Absent-Minded Professor, a reboot of Davy Crockett, and the musical Polly, which was based on the book Pollyanna past Eleanor H. Porter and the Walt Disney's 1960 film adaptation of information technology. In the 1989–1990 season, during which the visitor was negotiating with Jim Henson to buy The Muppets, they aired two Muppet specials; one of them was The Muppets at Walt Disney World, which turned out to be Henson'southward concluding Muppet special. He died May xvi, 1990, x days after the special aired, and the company only acquired The Muppets more than a decade later.

Subsequently two seasons experiencing the same lackluster ratings equally information technology had accrued during the end of its initial NBC run and its subsequent runs on CBS and ABC, Disney elected to end the circulate television run of The Magical World of Disney and began airing the anthology on the Disney Channel – in the same time slot it had been airing for the past decade – starting in September 1990, expanding back to a two-hour format. Since the Disney Channel operated as a premium channel at the time, films presented on the serial were presented without commercial pause. The Magical World of Disney originally aired on the cable channel as a weekly Sunday-only programme for its first 5½ years; but in September 1996, as part of the first phase of a programming revamp that culminated in its formal conversion into a commercial-free basic cable channel in April 1997, the Disney Channel expanded the Magical World make to cover its Mon through Saturday primetime film block, maintaining its 7:00 pm Eastern time slot.

The Wonderful Globe of Disney (1991–present) [edit]

The Wonderful World of Disney returned in 1991 as an umbrella championship for Disney specials airing on major networks (CBS airings used the historical title The Wonderful World of Disney for the offset few years, while other networks broadcast the show with some other title, A Disney Special).

In 1997, with Disney acquiring ABC the previous year, ABC gave the series a regular slot in the schedule.[2] Disney CEO Eisner formed Disney Telefilms by 1995 to supply original films to the series[23] [24] and programme together with ABC.[2] It led the network's Sunday night lineup at the seven:00 p.m. Eastern fourth dimension slot,[25] resulting in the displacement of Sunday mainstay America's Funniest Abode Videos, which had occupied the slot since 1992.[ commendation needed ] On September 28, 1997, the all-new The Wonderful World of Disney premiered with the network tv set premiere of Toy Story. On October 5, 1997, Disney Telefilms' first production, Toothless, debuted on the serial. In addition to the planned 16 original Disney telemovies, ABC and Disney added a few direct-to-video movies and films from other sources.[2]

In 2001, a Spanish-language version of the program premiered on Telemundo (which, incidentally, was acquired by the English version'south former home, NBC, that same year 2001–2010) equally El Maravilloso Mundo de Disney, with more than of a focus on Disney theatrical films than the English broadcasts at the time for Castilian version'southward former Disney Aqueduct (Latin America).

In September 2003, The Wonderful Globe of Disney moved to Saturdays at 8:00 pm Eastern, with the previous Sunday time slot existence ceded to AFV (which moved back to Sundays that season) and drama series in the 8:00 pm hour. Rare exceptions to the programme'south format occurred during this time; for example, a Little House on the Prairie miniseries ran for several weeks in 2004 under the Wonderful Earth of Disney banner. For most of its second run on ABC, the plan aired throughout the tv season, with the exception of the 2005–06 season (when information technology aired during the midseason only), and in 2007 and 2008 (when it was relegated to the summer months), with a broader array of films occupying the network's Saturday primetime slot at other times, when sports programming did not air. The series ended as a regular program in 2008.

At this signal, the series began to shift focus toward Disney theatrical films, relying less on original television films; even so, the series aired two Disney Channel Original Movies (2002's Cadet Kelly and 2008'southward Camp Stone, currently the only Disney Channel television films to take aired on non-Disney Channel-branded network domestically) during its ABC run. The second ABC revival also included some family-oriented films produced by studios other than Disney under the Wonderful World imprint, such as The Sound of Music from 20th Century Play a joke on (which is presently owned past Disney) and the Harry Potter film serial and Space Jam from Warner Bros., as well as television films such as Princess of Thieves from Granada Productions and the 2001 remake of Brian'due south Song from Columbia TriStar Television (now known as Sony Pictures Television).

On December 12, 2015, ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney officially returned to its anthology format with a showing of Mary Poppins for the first time on ABC since 2002, hosted past Dick Van Dyke. Van Dyke took viewers on a tour through the Disney Archives, as they explored props and costumes from the production of Mary Poppins and discussed the film's history and context within the Disney legacy.[26] It was then shown on February 21, 2016, with the special Disneyland 60, which honored Disneyland's 60th anniversary;[27] on November 24, 2016, for their Magical Vacation Celebration, filmed at Walt Disney Globe;[28] and on December 11, 2016, for the network goggle box premiere of Frozen.[29] On August 5, 2019, it was announced that The Wonderful Earth of Disney would present The Lilliputian Mermaid Live! on November 5 of that year with Auliʻi Cravalho, Queen Latifah and Shaggy starring equally Ariel, Ursula and Sebastian, respectively.[30] The cast also included John Stamos as Chef Louis and Graham Phillips as Prince Eric.[31] The special featured music from both the pic and the Tony Award-nominated Broadway stage version and was performed in front of a alive audience with giant project surface.[32] The title was used again on Nov 28, 2019, for a two-hr music special, The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, hosted by Emma Bunton and Matthew Morrison.[33]

On May 7, 2020, it was appear that The Wonderful World of Disney would bring back its banner for a series of theatrical movies from the Disney+ library, which includes Moana, Thor: The Dark World, Up, and Large Hero six, for four weeks beginning May 20, 2020.[34] A fifth week was later added, featuring the 2010 Disney/Pixar film, Toy Story 3, marking ten years since its theatrical release.[35] The program returned on September 23, 2020, featuring the 2014 Marvel moving picture, Guardians of the Galaxy, filling a gap in ABC's fall 2020 schedule. On October 9, 2020, ABC announced the program would return on October 14, with the broadcast television set premiere of the 2017 Disney/Pixar moving picture, Coco.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier aired on January 12, 2021. The 2015 live activeness film Cinderella aired on January 19, 2021.

Reruns [edit]

Prior to the launch of the Disney Channel, several of the films and specials made for the album serial were licensed to pay-Television set networks such every bit HBO; in HBO's case, the kaleidoscopic-pattern titles that preceded them in the original run were retained.[41] [42]

Around the same time that the 1980s incarnations aired on ABC and NBC, reruns of older episodes of the Disney anthology series, airing under the Wonderful Earth of Disney banner, were syndicated to circulate boob tube stations throughout the United States[43] [44] also equally in various international markets. In Australia, the program aired on Network Seven on Saturdays at vi:30 pm, before it was dropped in 1994 due to Optus Vision (later Foxtel)'south launch of a domestic version of the Disney Channel, with Saturday Disney replacing it as the channel's main block of Disney films.

Reruns of the shows were a staple of the Disney Channel for several years under the title Walt Disney Presents (which used the same championship sequence as the 1980s CBS incarnation), when information technology was an outlet for vintage Disney cartoons, tv serial, and films, basically serving the same office that the album series served in the days before cable. The original opening titles were restored to the episodes in 1997. Reruns of the anthology serial were discontinued when the channel exclude all vintage material with the removal of its Vault Disney late-night block on September 8, 2002.[45] Even so, a few select episodes are bachelor on VHS or DVD (some of which are exclusive to the Disney Moving picture Club), with the possibility of additional future releases.

From 2014 to 2019, live-action Disney films from the 1950s to the 1980s including special episodes from Walt Disney'south Wonderful World of Color aired on Turner Classic Movies, without commercial suspension, and presented uncut and with letterboxing on the network's standard-definition feed.[46]

All of the episodes and existing cloth used on the series up to 1996 are listed in the Bill Cotter volume The Wonderful Earth of Disney Television, which was released in 1997 by Hyperion Books (which was owned past the Walt Disney Visitor at the time of the book's publication).[7]

Programming [edit]

Originally hosted past Walt Disney himself, the original format of the Disney album series consisted of a residuum of theatrical animated cartoons, alive-action features, and other advisory material (some original, some pre-existing) from the studio's library. For many years, the show also featured edited 1-hour versions of such then-recent Disney films as Alice in Wonderland, and in other cases, telecasts of complete Disney films that were split into ii or more ane-hr episodes.[5] Later on original programs consisted of dramatizations of other historical figures and legends along the lines of the Davy Crockett mini-series. These included a miniseries based on Daniel Boone (not the Fess Parker characterization), Texas John Slaughter, Elfego Baca, Francis Marion (the "Swamp Fox") and 1977's Kit Carson and the Mountain Man (with Christopher Connelly equally Kit Carson, Robert Reed as John C. Fremont, and Gregg Palmer as mount human Jim Bridger).

Occasionally, a more educational segment would be featured (such equally The Story of the Animated Drawing), including nature and animal programs similar to the Truthful-Life Adventures that were released in theaters, as well as various dramatic installments which were either structured as single-part, ii-office, and sometimes, multipart editions. Much of the original informational excerpts were to create awareness of Disneyland. In spite of essentially serving as advertisements for the park, amusement value was emphasized, as well to make the shows palatable. Some of the program'due south advisory content was formatted to promote upcoming feature picture show releases by the studio (such equally 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Darby O'Gill and the Little People), with some programs focusing on the art and engineering science of animation itself.

Theme music [edit]

  • From 1954 to 1961, the serial used the song "When You Wish Upon a Star" as its theme. The recording was taken directly from the soundtrack of the moving picture Pinocchio. Once the title was changed to "Walt Disney Presents" in 1958, the theme was used simply over the ending credits.

  • From 1981 to 1983 (Walt Disney), a short disco organization of "When You Wish Upon a Star", arranged by Frank Gari, served every bit theme against some elaborate, then-state-of-the-art computer graphics. CBC Television in Canada also used this title sequence and theme music for their own versions of the show. The sequence was also used as the opening sequence on international Walt Disney Dwelling Video releases until 1987.
  • From 1986 to 1988, a synthesized, popular-rock organisation of "When You Wish Upon a Star" with some clapping was the theme. This was used once again for the 1989–xc season of The Magical Earth of Disney and the 1991–96 run on The Disney Aqueduct.
  • In 1988, an orchestral medley of "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and "When You Wish Upon a Star" was used. This was switched dorsum to the 1987 theme in 1989.
  • From 1991 to 1997, an orchestral medley of "When Yous Wish Upon a Star" and "Part of Your Earth" (the latter from Disney'due south and then recent hit The Little Mermaid), composed by Bruce Broughton, was used for network airings of the testify (known as The Wonderful World of Disney on CBS and A Disney Special on other networks) as well equally The 100 Lives of Black Jack Barbarous, a collaboration with Stephen J. Cannell Productions. This theme was besides used internationally.
  • From 1997 to 2000, Vocals added, an orchestral medley of "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "A Whole New World" (the latter used in the film Aladdin), equanimous by Jerry Goldsmith, were used; also used occasionally was the Louis Armstrong striking "What a Wonderful Globe". This theme is however used currently internationally.
  • From 2000 to 2007, a newer orchestral organisation of "When Y'all Wish Upon a Star" with a wordless choir, composed by James Horner, was used for ABC airings in the United States.
  • From 2007 to 2008, another orchestral arrangement of "When You lot Wish Upon a Star" (in actuality, the theme from the current Disney logo, composed by Mark Mancina) and a brand-new opening title sequence (depicting a montage of the visitor's work with audio from Walt Disney himself) are used for ABC airings in the Us.
  • From 2015 on, "Sky'due south Triumph", composed by Robert Etoll via Q-Manufacturing plant, is used alongside a brand-new opening title sequence (updated with a longer vox-over from Walt Disney and including Star Wars and Marvel properties).

International broadcasts [edit]

Argentina [edit]

The Telefe era [edit]

El mundo de Disney (The World of Disney) aired for the starting time fourth dimension on the OTA network Telefe in 1990, hosted past Leonardo Greco.[47] He remained as the sole presenter of the testify, lasting until 1995, when the series concluded. The plan started ambulation at 8:00 pm nightly from the 2nd half of 1990 until Dec 1992. By 1993, it was moved to weekday afternoons at 5:00 pm. When it was coming to an terminate, around 1994, shifted to Sunday afternoons, and aired a long marathon of movies and cartoons. Co-ordinate to Greco, this programme was possible because of a distributor who acquired the fabric, and was immune to be shown without following a strict format, considering the company wanted to do so.[48] Telefe wanted a comeback, and appointed chef and host Maru Botana (and then network talent) to present Planeta Disney (Disney Planet) on Sunday evenings, at 8:00pm, starting time Nov 21, 2004.[49] Starting on July 9, 2005,[50] Botana was replaced with 2 personalities employed by Disney, Carolina Ibarra and Dani Martins. They both shared the duties of hosting this show and the South American edition of Zapping Zone, on Disney Aqueduct. This lasted for a twelvemonth and a half, with relative success.[51]

The Canal 13 era [edit]

While Telefe had a major success conveying the animated movies and some TV series like Bloom or Dinosaurs (distributed by Buena Vista Boob tube), Culvert 13 saw the possibility of buying material from the company and airing information technology (sometimes competing against the Telefe's program) on Sunday afternoons, beginning in 1994, which at that time was filled with telecasts of ancient Argentinian films from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s, and by reruns of Tarzan and The Three Stooges. The only clear divergence was that only movies starring man actors, similar Chitty Chitty Bang Blindside or The Island at the Top of the World, could be broadcast, and not the cartoons. This experiment lasted until early on 1996.[52] Past 2007, the network took off from Telefe the exclusive rights to show all the Disney franchise movies and programs, and began to air its movies on Sun evenings at vii:00 pm, without a host. This also allowed Canal xiii to detain rights for other shows non related with Disney, but with the ABC network, similar Lost or Grayness's Beefcake, and to produce a localized version of the high-grossing film High School Musical.[53]
