The Disney Channel used to be so good...they had shows like Walt Disney Presents, original Disney family films like That Darn Cat, Summer Magic and Pollyanna to name a few and a lot of children's specials like Dumbo's Circus and Welcome to Pooh's Corner. The Disney Channel has gone downhill since then- they removed all the classic movies and shows and replaced it with pre-teen shows like Hannah Montana.
OMG! I actually remember this show! And it was fantastic! Does anyone have these on vhs or dvd or something to upload? I want to relive my childhood again! Seriously, what the hell has happened to disney? Current Disney can't compare to this gem of a show!
i never understood who the hell those other characters were. all these years i mistook that koala for the mouse in the cartoon. and that purple cat reminded me of grape jelly for some reason. i had the HUGEST crush on that katta. where's she from? Shapier?
Born in 1983 so I was pretty much heavy into all of this great Disney Channel programming as a kid; so many memorable shows too numerous to name. I really felt like crying after putting up with just one minute of the new Disney Channel stuff it's not even funny.
Haha Good times. This used to come on about the time my mom would be leaving for work. I had major separation anxiety as a kid, but as soon as she put this on the TV I didn't care where she was going or if she was ever coming back lol
There is a girl that is making these movies on dvd... and it looking for tapes of these shows. It's called "the stuff I like Site!" they even have David the Gnome
i don't know why but QT always bothered the shit out of me. he was just kind of retarded to me and it bothered me. its funny now because i really don't know why i felt that way. lol.
rofl! how did youtube know to recommend this for me?! i totally forgot about this show but i used to love it and watch it all the time! =o dumbo was my fave movie too~
wow back in the day this was the shit. disney today is not about using your own imagination, instead the disney channel tells kids whats up like all of a sudden they are the leading authority as to how kids should act like some mind control, the amount of stupid shit on there today i cant stand to watch it for longer than two mins, i dont give a fuck about miley cirus and niether should my kids, it seems like there is a lack of true personality out there anymore everything seems so steril now
@csocaly86 - seriously!!! What happened to Disney? Where we had Talespin and Chip n Dale and the gummy bears?!! All benign good shows to watch! Now my less than pre-teen girls are developing attitudes and wanting to dress less than I even would! Ridiculous. Disney should really clean up their act. I used to only allow my kids to watch the Disney Channel but now I have to monitor even that...
@csocaly86 - @csocaly86 - seriously!!! What happened to Disney? Where we had Talespin and Chip n Dale and the gummy bears?!! All benign good shows to watch! Now my less than pre-teen girls are developing attitudes and wanting to dress less than I even would! Ridiculous. Disney should really clean up their act. I used to only allow my kids to watch the Disney Channel but now I have to monitor even that...
After all these years, I can very clearly remember the song that went: "hand clappin, hand clappin, put your hands together for hand clappin, everybody's doin their hand clappin, you can clap along with me"
haha. I'm such a nerd for remembering that, and mentioning it 2. But oh well. I dont care, really. Those were the good ol' days of tv and I miss them like hell.
and when disney channel wasn't infested with stupid teenagers that think they can sing, and getting knocked up by 16 and when disney channel had no commercials and ran cartoons 24/7 without music videos and played music from the shows on a thing called "Dtv2" hahahaha those were the days.
lol you must be a preach cuz u speakin some true words!!! that is so true!!! whats more important: capturing and exploring the childs imagination or showing them the way to lamaze? with the new disney i really dont know!
I remember when I was 3 or 4 I said this was my favorite show. I have remembered it all these years in name only. Now that I see what it looked like, I have absolutely no recollection of what it was all about.
OMG!!!! I loved this show when i was a kid. It kind of looks retarded now but when I was i kid you couldn't keep me away from the tv. I would watch it right before i went to school.
oh my god... i used to watch this when i was like 5 or 6. im 20 years old now. i can't believe how long it's been. good memories. brings a tear to my eye almost.
When I was a little girl, my mom used to clean houses for a little while. We were too poor to pay for the Disney channel so when one of the women were out of town she'd take me with her and they had disney. I would sit on this HUGE suede couch and watch this! There are other shows I'd watch but thanks for the memories!
oh my goodness..i am 22 years old now but when i was little this was my favorite show to watch. i also loved to do mousersise in the morning. thank you for having this video available!!! what a memory of when thre disney channel didnt suck because now it blows!!!
i agree with you i remember watching it when i was little and now im 22. and all the channels we grew up with i believe have all started to blow. but dumbo circus was great
Pensfan: Ever since 1998...Elmo controlled Sesame Street, Spongebob ruled Nick, Pokemon was all over the WB! (now CW), 4Kids was butchering any and everything on what was left of FOX, Disney started bringing in the teenybopper stuff (ex: Zoog Disney [which admittedly is STILL better than the drivel on the channel now]), etc. Before 1998, everything was AWESOME!!!
In short, 80's (and even before it, with shows like classic [and Elmo-less] Sesame Street & Underdog) and early-to-mid 90's shows ROCKED!
And speaking of rocking, I hope Hollywood doesn't come a-calling when it is said that--come 2009--all us Henson fans will be taken back..."Down at Fraggle Rock" via a Fraggle Rock movie!!
@Thoralmir: No, no. We can't fully blame him. The blame lies in the hands of the corporate executives who run the companies, like Jamie Kellner for the former Kid's WB, BEFORE he KILLED it, with over-saturating anime and getting rid of gems like Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Pinky & the Brain (who were further destroyed by adding Elmyra), Freakazoid, and the like. It's why One Saturday Morning beat Kid's WB that years and in the years following, before OSM became the Disney Channel clone, ABC Kids.
Well I agree and disagree with u. That show was more entertaining than Lizzie Magurie and Sister Sister, but i love the costumes and belong to my reruns childhood.
omg...i haven't seen this in years! thank you so much for posting. this and punky brewster were my favorite kids shows. God forbid if ANYONE tried to change the channel when i was watching Dumbo's circus. I used to go into my grandparent's room, change whatever they were watching and they would sit with me and watch the whole episode. haha....so great
I would like to know where you can watch these old shows on the internet. I cant beleive that this is on here. I have seen some intro's to shows like Heathcliff and Fraggle rock but this is one of my favorite shows. This is like being 5 all over again thanks so much
