Disney Channels Memorial

 

We're here today to say goodbye to the greatest channels in the history of the UK beside CBBC and CBeebies: Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD. They provided magic, mischief and mouse ears for all of us, along with lessons to live by and characters to love, but most of all, favourite things besides Disney films.

First, Disney Channel is known for its lively content and lovely cartoons, which I should've seen in my childhood. My favourite programmes on there are Good Luck Charlie, which I love because of the surreal things that happen during the end credits, and Mighty Med, because so much goes on in the background that you completely forget to focus on the main characters. I also love the original films, like the surreal ones like ones based on books featuring aliens, leprechauns and monsters and the such.

Disney Junior...this is a heartwarming one. It had such lovely programmes, even as Playhouse Disney. I used to see Playhouse Disney as a kid, and the best moment of this era is seeing the Winnie The Pooh episode 'All's Well That Ends Wishing Well' because of Wishland - a place of wishes only invented by a child's imagination and all the things Tigger wishes for. Later on, when it became Disney Junior, the fun multiplied, and a blue dog was born - Bluey. She became my favourite of all the Disney Junior characters for her slice of life feel and unique premise, and now I have three things to remember her by: The 'Hood, ABC Kids and the alternate episode names I gave each episode earlier this year.

And as for Disney XD...let's say I preferred it as Jetix, like it normally was, because it contained great shows like Power Rangers, Sonic X, Digimon, Transformers and especially Pucca, which my mum loves.

I'm so upset Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD are leaving. I just wish they could wake up and keep it forever, but I wish Bluey would be on CBeebies.

I wish the Disney channels would end like the videos above. As we part from our true blue friend and her magical friends, we list the alternate names for Bluey episodes for the last time:

My Favourite Pictures From Disney Junior's Twitter Page

 

"Even Factory was talking about the new series of Scream Street on their Twitter page!"

Noddy Y Dewin

This is the Welsh dub of Noddy, titled 'Nodi'. I just found it earlier, and in order to spell Nodi you take the first three words in Noddy's name and then add an I at the end. If you already discovered the Welsh dub of Fireman Sam I'd recommend you'd watch this.

Disney Junior Characters Find Out Bluey Is Leaving

 

MICKEY MOUSE: You guys! You guys! Bluey's going away.

KION: Going away? For how long?

MICKEY MOUSE: Forever. To Australia.

BLUEY: I'm sorry, everyone.

ROLLY: Bluey says she's been dreaming of Australia so she and her family are moving back today.

BLUEY: Wow!

MICKEY MOUSE: Bluey, what kind of questions do you think going back to Australia is going to answer?

BLUEY: What's the meaning of life? Why are we here?

MICKEY MOUSE: I hope you're making the right choice.

VAMPIRINA: I'm gonna miss her...I'm gonna miss Bluey and I...don't know how to tell her!

DONALD DUCK: How are going to go on, Mickey? Bluey was our....friend.

MINNIE MOUSE: And we will all miss you, Bluey, but we know you must do what your heart tells you.

ALL DISNEY JUNIOR CHARACTERS: Bye bye!/Goodbye!/See you later!/We'll miss you!/Bye, Bluey!

MICKEY MOUSE: Goodbye, Bluey! Send us cards about your time on ABC Kids!

BLUEY: Goodbye!

Don't forget to let your child write a old fashioned letter to either Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Kion, Miles, Doc, Sofia, Bingo, Rolly, the Muppet Babies and especially Bluey to tell them how much they miss them. Or check out the activities related to the Bluey episode 'Camping', especially the last activity, for more tips on how to cope with missing your friends. Or, you can write a letter to any TV character you miss to cope with their loss, including ones from both Disney Channel and Disney Junior with this bereavement letter sheet, and check out the Newsround special 'Gone' and learn how to cope with the loss of your loved ones, even if they are from the TV like Bluey.

Bluey's Family Have A Sad Announcement....

 

MUM: Okay, when we break the news to the girls, we need to do it in a way that doesn't make one of us seem like the bad guy - we need to let them know that we still love them...it's just that Disney Junior is going away tomorrow, along with Disney Channel and Disney XD.

DAD: Yeah, you're right. But look - it's okay. I'll start the conversation. If they have any anger, it'll be towards me. They can't be mad forever.

MUM: Wow, Bandit, that's very mature of you.

DAD: They always liked you more anyway.

MUM: Girls! Put your toys down for a minute. Your dad and I...daddy and I have something to tell you.

DAD: Girls, your mum and I love you very much.

MUM: So very much.

DAD: You are just the best girls in the gosh-darn world and we are so lucky to be your parents. And that's why...I'm raising your allowance by five whole dollarbucks!

BLUEY/BINGO: Yeah! Woohoo!

MUM: What?!

BINGO: Thank you, daddy!

BLUEY: You're the best dad ever!

MUM: Bandit, what are you doing? Girls - you're not getting a bigger allowance. Disney Junior is going off the air to make room for Disney+.

DAD: What?! No! Mum, why?!

BLUEY: Why are you doing this to Disney?

BINGO: It's the mouse house's fault!

*Everyone begins crying*

DAD: Those monsters!

MUM: It's about time I told them. If you don't have Disney+, then too bad. But luckily Disney Junior has a unique Youtube page that can get you anywhere Disney Junior related, so you can catch up with my favourite daughter and her friends Mickey, Kion, Doc, Sofia, Bingo - no offence, Bingo.

BINGO: None taken, mummy.

MUM: Rolly, Nancy and the others. Hit the link below and check out some of the awesome videos on there, including their superb craft tutorials with the silly and happy music my daughters love so much. There's a Disney Channel themed Youtube channel as well, so click both links and get exploring! We'll miss you as much as Bluey misses Jean-Luc:

When CBBC Rips Off Its Own Shows...

 

Luke, Resus & Cleo Review: The 'Hood: Learn With Bingo

 

CLEO: Have you ever got the feeling that a children's show without any interactive educational meaning can suddenly turn into Dora The Explorer mode?

LUKE: Now we have! Look at this - Learn With Bingo is made in the style of an old fashioned educational film from the 1970's.

RESUS: I have to admit, my favourite is where Bingo teaches you the ABC's.

LUKE: Yeah, it always reminds us of Yakka Dee for some reason - all those montages featuring Dee and her animated and live action friends always makes me dizzy, but this is similar to the aforementioned except it has characters from Bluey in it.

CLEO: Very well put.

RESUS: And about the numbers - Bingo's teaching math instead.

CLEO: Won't preschoolers like it?

LUKE: Nah, they'll like it as much as they love things like Dora The Explorer and Bubble Guppies.

RESUS: The long pauses allow time for the youngsters at home to shout out the answer to Bingo at home.

LUKE: That makes Bingo a child's friend like Bluey is a child's friend too.

CLEO: They also teach shapes and colours through fetching games, much like a mini game show, except a 4 year old heeler hosts and has her three friends and teacher from kindy as her contestants.

LUKE: What about us? We star in The 'Hood too, do we have a role to play?

CLEO: No, we don't star in the episode.

RESUS: What the episode is about depends on who stars in the episode - since it's an episode about learning, the kids from kindy and Miss Retriever all star in this.

CLEO: But still, I think the alphabet part is my favourite part.

LUKE: I agree.

RESUS: Yeah.

CLEO: Hey, look what I've found!

LUKE: Wait, before you click the link...is Learn With Bingo also the alternate name of the Bluey Season 2 episode 'Bingo'?

CLEO: Maybe. Anyway, look at this link. Parents can expand the experience more with activities centered around the original version, just named 'Bingo', including activities about kiwis and problem solving, but not ABC's and 123's and all that stuff about sharing, another important value learnt in Learn With Bingo.

RESUS: Parents! Click the link below and try to find some activities to arrange for your little Bingo wannabe. It's a great way to expand their horizons on learning and to help your child learn and develop:

Look out for more episodes of The 'Hood coming soon!
