Disney Kids TV

We started off with the shows on Nickelodeon and PBS and now as the title says, now its time for the children's TV of Walt Disney, or at least his amazing followers.

"Phineas and Ferb" - Phineas and Ferb is an American animated comedy-musical television series that follows Phineas Flynn and his British stepbrother Ferb Fletcher while on summer vacation. Every day, the boys embark on some grand new project, which annoys their controlling sister, Candace, who frequently tries to reveal their shenanigans to the boys' mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher, and less frequently to their father, Lawrence Fletcher.  The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur every episode, and the B-Plot almost always features Perry the Platypus working as a spy ("Agent P") for OWCA (the Organization Without a Cool Acronym), to defeat the latest scheme of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist driven largely by a need to assert his evilness. Sometimes, other villains scoff at his level of evil. The two plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys' project just before Candace can show it to their mother. This usually leaves Candace very frustrated.

"Star Wars Rebels" - Star Wars Rebels is an American 3D CGI animated television series produced by Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation.  Set fourteen years after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and five years before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Rebels takes place during an era when the Galactic Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy. Imperial forces are hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights while a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking form.

"Marvel's Avengers Assemble" - Avengers Assemble is an American animated television series, based on the fictional Marvel Comics superhero team, the Avengers.  The series is a replacement for The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.  It airs alongside Ultimate Spider-Man and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H..  Additionally, it features a near-identical cast and crew with both shows, and shares continuity with them as part of the block.

"Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of Smash" - The story is told from the perspective of an online reality show created by Rick Jones, to foster public acceptance of the Hulk, as a hero and not a monster.  The "show" is filmed by robotic flying cameras that accompany the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. everywhere they go, resulting in humorous vignettes and visual gags throughout each episode.  Hulk, She-Hulk, Red Hulk, A-Bomb, and Skaar come together as the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. (the acronym later stands for Supreme Military Agency of Super Humans) to tackle threats that no other superheroes can face.

"Ultimate Spiderman" - Ultimate Spider-Man is an American animated television series based on the Spider-Man comics published by Marvel Comics, including some elements of Marvel's Ultimate line of books.

"The Avengers" - The Avenger: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! was an American animated television series based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers.  The series initially features a team based on the roster for the original Avengers, composed of Iron Man, Giant Man, Hulk, Thor, and the Wasp.  The team is later joined by Captain America, Black Panther, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and Vision.

"Doc McStuffins" - Doc McStuffins is an animated children's television series about a girl who can "fix" toys, with help from her stuffed animal friends.

"Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" - Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto star in the series, which focuses on interacting with the viewer to stimulate problem solving.  Each episode has the characters help children "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic math skills, such as identifying shapes and counting through ten." The series uses "Disney Junior's 'whole child' curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities."  Once the problem of the episode has been explained, Mickey invites viewers to join him at the Mousekadoer, a giant Mickey-head-shaped computer whose main function is to distribute the day's Mousekatools, a collection of objects needed to solve the day's problem, to Mickey. Once the tools have been shown to Mickey on the Mousekadoer screen, they are quickly downloaded to Toodles, a small, Mickey-head-shaped flying extension of the Mousekadoer. By calling, "Oh Toodles!" Mickey summons him to pop up from where he is hiding and fly up to the screen so the viewer can pick which tool Mickey needs for the current situation.
