September 6, 1999. International broadcasts In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the city's then-independent TV station ITV (now Global Edmonton) produced its own version of The Disney Afternoon over roughly the same period as the American block, but only once per week in a two-hour block on Saturday afternoons, though using the same cartoon lineup as the American weekday block. Apart from the animated introduction, the block did not use any Disney-produced wrapper segments, but instead used locally produced live-action segments between programs with host Mike Sobel. In Denmark, DR1 started its version of the block ("Disney Sjov") on October 25th, 1991. The block was ended on December 30th, 2022. Shows Over the years, the block featured the following shows: Adaptations Comic books The block was adapted into comic books, films and launched the Disney Adventures magazine. Disney Parks Characters from the shows first appeared in Disney Parks with the debut of Mickey's Birthdayland in the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World. In 1990, the characters got a daily show, "Mickey’s Magical TV World", which lasted until 1996. The popularity of The Disney Afternoon led to a temporary attraction at Disneyland in Fantasyland called "Disney Afternoon Avenue." Disney Afternoon Avenue was a feature of Disneyland from March 15 to November 10, 1991. Two attractions were also made over to match series from the block. Video games Many of The Disney Afternoon shows were made into video games.
