DC PT has only two movies a week during the regular season. As I said, the back catalog is mostly just DreamWorks titles along with some Disney movies, plus DCOMs are getting rarer now, and now all non-show based DCOMs are dubbed.

But 31 movies on the Latin American feeds? This isn't Disney Cinemagic! (though they have/had a block called "Cinemágico").

Disney Cinemagic PT, in their last phase, had 8 movies a day. And all of this every day of the week. So 8 × 7 = a grand total of 56 movies! That was a lot more than DC LA at present (though in this case, it was a movie channel complemented by some old Disney shows and theatrical shorts). This was the promo:

But I still like Disney Channel Latin America, basically for the overnight schedule. And also DC Scandinavia, see what I mean?

We used to have a block based on Disney Cinemagic, but got dropped right after the 2014 rebrand. Now we have two blocks: "Disney Channel Movie" and "El Maravilloso Mundo de Disney". But jeez, Disney Channel LA has been always filled with movies without a good reason.

We used to have The Wonderful World of Disney back when Disney Channel was a paid service like most of the world at the time, and it aired at 20:00.

Also, did DC LA drop the Disney Junior block because of the linear channel's current large-scale availability and popularity? That happened to DC PT in 2013 and I liked the decision.

Decko is airing Timon & Pumbaa and it's in 16:9, which AFAIK is a first. Or has it aired elsewhere in widescreen already? Couldn't find any info on that.

The Playhouse Disney Channel at that time wasn't so popular. It was like a pay-per-view channel inside the cable systems around Latin America. When the Disney Junior brand was launched, the rebranded channel went to basic cable (I don't know why tho) and got very advertised on the Disney Channel (in fact, the last advertisement for Disney Junior that I've seen was in March) and it's kinda popular right now.

Some time back we got to see screenshots via DVDizzy of the remastered The Little Mermaid TV series on Netflix in Norway. Maybe Disney is doing that to their other 90s shows?

The same was true to Portugal. When Disney Channel launched in November 2001, it was a paid channel like in most of the world (in the USA it was already switching to basic cable). Playhouse Disney was added a while as a block.

Many years have passed and after taking the step of shutting down Disney Cinemagic and wasting the HD feed of it (instead of being reused by Disney Channel), NOS exclusively launched Disney Junior as a linear channels as part of their more advanced packages. Then, surprise! The channel expanded to other providers and became an instant success. Some providers even have it on their basic offer. By June 2013 it was already made available on MEO and DC PT proceeded to remove the block.

Now some rare gems from Disney on Portuguese television:
Videos of Clube Disney (the logo said "Disney Club") when it aired on RTP 1 and 2. The logo and the graphics were also used on the Russian and Brazilian blocks:
Here's the launch promo of Disney Kids from December 2001. This marked the end of Disney in full on RTP. Now that SIC stopped having Disney blocks, I really wish there was one on RTP. RTP 2 could benefit from that. The first Disney Kids logo was based on the Disney Club one:
And here's DC PT's launch ad, from 2001!:

ohhh. so, it's not 3:4 cropping?

do you maybe have some screenshots for comparison?

 

[Red Arrow]

Disneys Jonge Garde is getting a second season, and they will make a new show called Just Like Me about five Dutch (or Flemish?) vloggers.

 

[Checkerboard]

It is slightly cropped on top and bottom, but at the same time there is extra information on the sides. And the picture is a lot more vibrant and sharper. It looks similar like the remastered Tintin... @dclover @RandomMe

Here are some screenshots to give you an idea...

[RandomMe]

These shots look like they came from the Timon and Pumbaa-related TLK sequels! Amazing work!

 

[mariosjaque]

I tried to capture Boyster's Now bumper with the new branding from DXD LA airing on the normal programming instead of on XQSí:

 

[RandomMe]

@mariosjaque: In Portugal it's just "Rapaz-Ostra". The show recently entered the overnight schedule here because of European regulations.

DC Scandinavia, despite having six countries within the catchment area that belong to the EU, doesn't air a lot of European shows at night. DC Portugal also operates to Angola and Mozambique, whose population is superior in numbers to that of Portugal, and they can't find a loophole out of it.

 

[JedEmily]

DCUK uploaded a miraculous video earlier (if you can't see the photo tell me I'm only using safari and not tapatalk)

 

[Red Arrow]

I can't see it, but it's from Facebook so users outside Belgium might be able to see it.

 

[RandomMe]

Me neither. Maybe the image is geoblocked to the UK?

 

[JedEmily]

I'll try and upload it again tomorrow ^

 

[RandomMe]

Isn't it shocking? DC PT is airing a promo for the 2016 RDMAs showing footage from the 2015 RDMAs as if they aired them!

 

[JesuisJake]

Disney Channel's 100th original movie, Further Adventures in Babysitting premieres June 24, at 8 PM EDT/PDT (9:30 NFL, 9 PM ATL, 7 CDT, 6 MDT + CST) followed by the premiere of Bizaardvark at 9:45 EST/PST on Disney Channel Canada. There will also be an exclusive 10 minute clip from the movie and the first Adventures in Babysitting on Disney Channel on Demand, Watch Disney Channel App and www.disneychannel.ca starting May 2, 2016.

 

[RandomMe]

The RDMAs will air next month at 19:15. (don't know when exactly, I need to catch the promo again)
