Disney Toon Channel

Disney Kids is a Latin-American programming block and television channel, with the block version premiering on Disney XD in April 3rd, 2017 and the channel version being launched two years after the block premiered, On June 7th, 2019. The block and the channel serves as a revival for Toon Disney, airing mainly programming from Disney Television Animation, Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm Ltd., The Muppet Studios and 20th Century Fox. However, it also acquired some non-Disney shows, so the channel won't strictly air only Disney shows.

Confirmation
In January 2017, the Walt Disney Company partnered with select companies to launch a new block for the channel and begins broadcasting on Disney XD commercials to promote a new block. After several discussions, the channel announced the intention to re-launch the now-defunct Toon Disney, which this time will be called Disney Kids, in honor of the website. Immediately, Disney Kids was announced and born.

In March 2017, the block's first promotion aired on television and was posted on YouTube with thousands upon thousands of followers, especially in the place where Toon Disney's most beloved channel is being revived under a different name. The following day, both Disney Television Animation had plans to create original series for the block. Thus, (although it was first broadcast on Disney Channel and Disney XD), Spying Music was officially labeled as the first original Disney Kids series. In addition, other companies, including studios outside the U.S., would also produce original series for Disney Kids and create them for their own countries.

On March 29 of the same year, one month before the block's opening, the complete alignment of the block was confirmed. The following month, the block was finally released.

Launch of the block
The block was launched on Disney XD on Monday, April 3rd, 2017. The first program to air was the 1997 Pepper Ann episode Old Best Friend.

The block not only was given largely favorable reviews from critics and viewers, but was also proven to be successful on the launch day, being viewed by both kids and adults.

Launch of the channel
Due to positive reviews, successful views and heavy fan demand, Disney Kids was confirmed to get its own 24/7 hr. channel operated by Walt Disney. as a sister channel to Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior by June 7th, 2019.

The launch sequence was inspired by the promo of Latin America Disney Channel 2014 block, Disney Channel Fest''. ''After that with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (voiced by Bret Iwan and Daniel Ross) are discussing about who will launch the channel. The camera then pans over to an animated version of Rich Moore drawing Toby and Suki in a notepad, coming thereafter to life, launching the channel.

Mascots
Much like Disney Magazine, the channel has two mascots: a soccer boy named Toby (voiced by Phil LaMarr) and a Barbie-like woman named Suki (voiced by Catherine Taber), both being created by Rich Moore. They primarily announce the upcoming cartoons, host the blocks and host special events as well.

When asked if there's something going on between them, Moore replied that they are indeed dating.

Trivia and censorship
etc
 * Disney Kids is inspired by Fox Kids, Discovery Kids, Boomerang, WB Kids, Nicktoons and Tooncast, because it airs mainly cartoons.
 * Like other Disney channels, Disney Kids airs original productions.
 * With Disney's proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the channel would also air family-friendly shows and films from the company.
 * In case of the deal being blocked due to antitrust concerns, both companies expressed that the partnership between them would still continue and Fox would still develop original programming for Disney Kids. However, they announced that they might change their minds about it and remove Fox programming, movies and even the channel's Fox Mania.
 * Due to its popularity, the channel spawns into a variety of stuff: Disney Kids/Radio, a Disney Kids/Imaginationzine, a series of crossover comic books, video games, a Disney Kids Toontown on Levity Trampoline Park at Montevideo, Uruguay, and an Disney Kids/App.

 * Both the block and the channel have a characteristic 6-note tune as its jingle, strongly resembling the final notes of Steamboat Willie.
 * The lineup promo had the Ester Dean song, Let me take you to Rio, from the 2011 Blue Sky Studios movie, Rio.
 * This song had been recycled in some of the other promos (like the new channel promo and the New Year on Disney Kids promo).
 * Interestingly, in the lineup promo, the Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Goofy/Pluto shorts, the Alice Comedies shorts and the Pixar shorts are not shown, despite being in the block.
 * It is the first Disney XD's children Monday to Friday morning block.
 * After the success of the block, this has started a renaissance of Monday to Friday Morning kids blocks.
 * Interestingly, on the on-screen bug as a block, the on-screen says "Disney Kids on Disney XD".
 * However, on the channel, the on-screen bug from only July (when the channel premieres) will have just the Disney Kids logo.
 * In the awakening of the new logo, while the "Disney Kids on Disney XD" remained, the channel on-screen now simply just has the Mickey Mouse head silhouette.
 * The website link was www.disneykids.com to avoid confusion to the link to the original non-TV Disney Kids website. There are games, videos, activities (including papercraft-like figures called Disney Kids Paper Buddies, coloring pages, crafts, etc.).
 * Currently, it is the only block in the Monday to Friday morning Renaissance group to have a channel version.
 * Being a family-friendly network, series with adult-related jokes and humor (e.g. off-color humor, dark humor, crude humor) and/or ugly designs, such as Cow and Chicken, Ren and Stimpy, Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart, Rocko's Modern Life, The Problem Solvers, Fanboy and Chum Chum and Breadwinners don't appear in the programming.
 * Despite that, The Spying Music is aired possibly because it is more family-friendly, although there are some scenes that're edited from Disney Kids for many reasons such as:
 * The hurtful words said in The Spying Music are replaced with words, such as "crud" and "heck". Two examples are: "Oh, crud." and "WHAT THE HECK!".
 * In The Spying Music episode Life After Dinner, Kenny cuts off Darwin's liver and showing blood. But, the blood's color is originally red from the original Netflix version and in the Disney Kids version, the blood's color is pink instead of red.
 * TBD


 * The twerking scenes in shows and films are removed out from Disney Kids
 * Supernatural shows like Scooby-Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, The Cryptids, Eric and Claire, etc. don't air on this channel. However, Casper the Friendly Ghost airs on Fox Mania it even though it's supernatural, possibly because Casper the Friendly Ghost doesn't have as much of a scary tone as most other supernatural shows.
 * For unknown reasons, innocent shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Unikitty, Peppa, My Life as a Teenage Robot, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Godzilla: Life on Monster Island don't air on this channel.

 * In Disney's Beauty and the Beast, the scene where the Beast throws his very crazed violent anger after Belle trespassed his West Wing was shortened to the part where Belle runs away when the Beast yells "GET OUT" at her, because it was thought to be far too dark and frightening for young viewers.

Also, the African-American stereotypical voices of the crows in the movie are all re-dubbed by non-black actors Jeff Bergman, Seth MacFarlane (being one of his few family-friendly works), Bob Bergen, Charlie Adler and Rob Paulsen, in order to be non-offensive to the African-American community.
