The Family Circus is rather insufferable in a one-panel comic. I can't imagine putting up with them for a whole half hour.

A bunch of kids rescue their dads from prison in North Korea? I think we can safely say that film comes from Fantasyland, though it was good that James Cromwell was able to find work before Babe.

Mickey was kind of a jerk back in the Steamboat Willie days.

The Gnome-Mobile reunited the kids from Mary Poppins. It didn't do anywhere near that film's business.

@MeInTX "A Family Circus Christmas" is a bizarre slice of 70's weirdness, essentially about the delusions of a child who asks Santa to "bring grandad down from heaven" (A phrase that is repeated about thirty times). AFAIK it's the only Christmas special where Santa brings back the dead, so it's worth checking out just for that aspect.

I miss Roger Rabbit. Aside from the Toontown ride at Disneyland, he's completely disappeared.

@80sCommercialVault Wow...you weren't kidding. That goes right up there with some of the more out-there Rankin-Bass holiday specials as shows best enjoyed while inhaling the smoke from a pot Yule log.

THREE ROGERS lol

it seems to me that the disney channel was more than just disney. It was all kinds of family programming

[ctsamurai]

I think showing promos like this just proves that there is something to be said for channels that don't have a lot of money and are forced to come up with lots of appealing content from wherever they can get it. If it weren't for "classic" disney channel, I wouldn't love old movies as much as I do now.

I loved that film, the night train to katmandu.

(At 1:15-1:19) Not to be confused with "Dateline Disneyland", the name of the telecast of Opening Day.
