I'm officially disgusted with Disney Channel.
If good ole Walt Disney could awake from his grave and see the so called "Disney Channel" it would kill him all over again. In fact the horrible state of Disney Channel would kill him so hard that he'd never have a chance of reviving and setting things straight; and oh, how I wish that he could return and set things aright.
The programming airing on the Disney Channel as of today is nothing more than intellectually-lacking, brainless hogwash and it isn't creative.
Uncle Walt Disney was all about creativity in his life time. Mickey Mouse was Uncle Walt's love, yea, the adorable Mouse was even to some degree Mr. Disney's very soul in a way and it would break his heart to awaken from his dreamless slumber of death to learn that his beloved Mouse has been relegated to the sands of time and replaced with a would-be pop star named Miley Cyrus who got on Disney Channel not in the name of talent but simply because her father is a music star and was able to pull some strings backstage and supposedly she is considered "beautiful and attractive" by some weak minded young men. Miley Cyrus isn't a role module in any sense of the phrase "role module" nor is she worthy of standing of standing before children no more than Britney Spears or Sylvia Saint as all three of the aforementioned women are walking the road to perdition. Miley Cyrus is simply treading down the same dismal and abysmal road that Lindsey Lohan is traveling. May God have mercy on their souls. I had really begun to like Lindsey Lohan after Herbie Fully Loaded and it saddens me to see her sorry state of affairs as it stands today.
The programs Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Hannah Montana, The Cheetah Girls, Cory in the House, That's So Raven, Sunny With A Chance, Good Luck Charlie, Camp Rock and High School Musical make my stomach churn and twist as if some unpleasant and vile stomach virus were about to take me on a roller coaster ride of misery. Those programs aren't even true Disney programs as they do not ring true to the "spirit of Disney" in any way at all. Anyone old enough to know the "Disney" of yesteryear will agree that the Disney Channel of today is not worthy of the title "Disney Channel" as it has so far departed from the "magic of Disney" and is now only a body without a soul or more precisely a House without the "Mouse".
Miley Cyrus isn't supposed to be the Disney mascot. Mickey Mouse is supposed to be the Disney mascot as he was indeed the "child" of Uncle Walt. Granted, Disney is trying to appease us by resurrecting the Mouse in the "Epic Mickey" Warren Spector project but that is not the same as abolishing the "Hannah Montana craze" and restoring Mickey Mouse to his rightful throne as king, wizard, "Steamboat Willie", and mascot of the Magic Kingdom. Howbeit, Epic Mickey is a step in the right direction.
Furthermore, I miss the Disney of my childhood. After I finish college perhaps I can take my art skills to Disney and help aid in the revival of the "Wish Upon A Star" Disney that my parents introduced me to as a child. It was because of Mickey Mouse and Mr. Disney's love for animation that I took such an ernest interest in drawing and animation, however, as the "magic" of Disney has grown ever so cold over the last few years thanks to rubbish like Camp Rock so to had my enthusiasm but now as I write this I can feel the anger within me boiling over into a fervor to ignite the flame that the House of Mouse gave me back in 1994 (I was born in 1988).
It's sad to see the death of traditional animation at Walt Disney. Sure, Pixar is nice and Tangled looks marvelous but Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, Fantasia, Tarzan and One Hundred and One Dalmatians were masterpieces of traditional animation and that is simply an art of which we as a people of the earth cannot afford to lose nor can the Disney company afford to abandon that rich element of it's heritage and I believe that The Princess and the Frog was indeed a step in the right direction and I pray Disney will continue to strive to recover the glory days of old.
As for the Disney Channel and Disney XD, what shall one say? It is true that Disney XD has tried to retain the appeal of previous Jetix/ Toon Disney and it is indeed far better than the horrible line-up of programming airing on the Disney Channel. However, the company needs to heal the flagship channel by returning to programs that contain the "spirit of Disney" and will appeal to the whole family the way Uncle Walt and Guy Williams did with the legendary Zorro program. Disney had a good thing going with Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jake Long, House of Mouse, Bear in the Big Blue House and The Replacements but they seem to have abandoned ship. Disney Channel needs to return airing such programs like the five I just mentioned. Nevertheless there seem to be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel with Avalon High and Fish Hooks cresting the horizon and the current mediocre Phineas and Ferb.
Not only has Disney been hijacked by wolves in the garb of sheep but so has Nickeledon with rubbish like Spongbob Squarepants, Back at the Barnyard, Drake and Josh and Victorious and so has Cartoon Network which is Cartoon Network in name only and not content. The former no longer airs the masterpiece "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or charming shows like Catscratch, Hey Arnold or As Told By Ginger nor does the latter have great shows like Teen Titans, Dexter's Laboratory and Jonny Quest; save for Star Wars The Clone Wars and Chowder. We must reclaim the wholesome goodness of yesterday. It's all that we have to give to the youth of tomorrow.
The best thing we as Disney fans can do is to not become complacent. We must voice our opinions and express our displeasure and utilize our democratic rights as Disney fans in order to save Disney Channel from become a channel of "every foul and unclean thing" of sorts because it isn't the Disney that you and I knew nor is it the Disney that Uncle Walt created and it is our duty as True Disney Fans to resurrect the Disney of yesterday in order that the children of tomorrow may Wish Upon A Star.
