Well, the feed started to cover Poland in December 2006, so, yesDidn't Disney Channel MEA prior to 2007 have a Polish audio track:? If i am not corrected
It's quite interesting that the network lasted that long. It also contained alot of the older shows that weren't airing then.Disney In English was a useless channel, the situation in Italy was a bit weird, their Toon Disney lasted longer and Cinemagic didn't launch until 2011. It seems that they weren't ready to replace Toon Disney with Cinemagic in 2008, so Disney In English was launched instead.

Absolutely useless, Perhaps maybe Disney just wanted a spare channel to show investors something.DC Italy also has always had an English audio track, making the DIsney In English existence absolutely useless
It was just made to bump up ratings as Italy is (was?) a highly competitive market for kids.DC Italy also has always had an English audio track, making the DIsney In English existence absolutely useless
It's meant to compliment the Circles-era branding that DCI had during the time; albeit in a somewhat simplified form since the focus is towards animated series. This branding became very inconsistent by 2002, as Toon Disney UK started using a different graphics package with the egg-shaped logo, and when Toon Disney France launched in November that year, it decided to go for another different graphics package, but keeping the 2000 logo.
Generic Toon Disney UK Next/Now Bumpers. This era always seemed weird to me, not really sure why.
Yeah, in 2003 they spent much more.money on it, but nevertheless, I thought it was nice, albeit simplisticIt's meant to compliment the Circles-era branding that DCI had during the time; albeit in a somewhat simplified form since the focus is towards animated series.

On top of that, US for some reason decided to adopt the 2002 logo only in 2004 and initially with a bit unfitting color choice.I thought it was such a shame the Toon Disney international 2002-3 package wasn't used by TD USA instead opting for a MUCH inferior one, of course also used by their puppet, Toon Disney Japan
Disney Channel Germany rebranding in 2002, also meant the EMEA team wasn't ready for the new branding for Toon Disney and Playhouse Disney until 2003 (it was better to wait for a total network rebrand as most others did) and DC Germany had been using a kind of US branding for Playhouse Disney for a short timeOn top of that, US for some reason decided to adopt the 2002 logo only in 2004 and initially with a bit unfitting color choice.
I think what happened is that Toon Disney was getting 2 rebrand packages at once. By the time US 2002 was sent to Disney, so was 2003 EMEA. So they just decided on one...Yeah, in 2003 they spent much more.money on it, but nevertheless, I thought it was nice, albeit simplistic
In 2002 this package (the original 2000 TD UK one) was also used by Disney Channel Italy: many people dont know that, up to the launch of the standalone Toon Disney channel in Italy, DC Italy used to have a Toon Disney block on weekday mornings and weekends/festivities mornings, and naturally a Playhouse Disney block too
The DOG was the DC one all the time, although I have some memories of a TD one being also used, but mostly in the circle era
I've never seen anything from the 2002 egg era of Toon Disney UK, but it was UK exclusive as far as I know!
If someone knows something about this, send me! I think they were trying to cartoonnetworkize the channel a little bit
Toon Disney France at launch in 2002, used a slightly updated pres based on the 2000 circle package, but no egg!
The egg graphics I guess used an opt out to the usual circle theme, although the DOG still looked like the circle one
@Review Metabee I thought it was such a shame the Toon Disney international 2002-3 package wasn't used by TD USA instead opting for a MUCH inferior one, of course also used by their puppet, Toon Disney Japan
Same with Playhouse Disney US
Why US channels often choose inferior packages in general?
I keep forgetting that it was just a block in Italy, but there was some presence of Cinemagic at least (up until 2019, almost outlived the Sky Cinema Disney channel in the UK if it lived on for another 18 months), Italy is mentioned in the list of countries which always throws me.DC Italy also has always had an English audio track, making the DIsney In English existence absolutely useless
Correction: we never had Cinemagic, despite my back-then huge appetite for it
Instead, we got a Cinemagic weekend block on Sky Cinema Famiky
Yeah, aside from the S4C and some very few others, in the UK, most of the productions aren't dubbed and come from English-speaking countries, at least on mainstream TVI keep forgetting that it was just a block in Italy, but there was some presence of Cinemagic at least (up until 2019, almost outlived the Sky Cinema Disney channel in the UK if it lived on for another 18 months), Italy is mentioned in the list of countries which always throws me.
Also from what I remember from using Sky Italia (not long after Disney In English launched), although it was years ago, the language change option is very easy to use by using the search and scan banner. It's was bit more difficult on Sky UK, but there was less need to change the language.
Disney channels in the UK have always been quiet on European quota, as it's not a strict obligations, at least by OFCOMEuropean Quota shows for DC/DXD UK over the years:
Famous 5 on The Case (2008-201?)
Jimmy Two-Shoes (2009-2014)
Dude! That's My Ghost (2013-2020)
Boyster (2014-2020)
Kid Vs Kat (2009-2018) (I remember this one as if it was yesterday.)
Miraculous (2016-2020)
101 Dalmatian Street (2019-2020)
Best Bugs Forever (2018-2020)
Meanwhile, the generic promo for Playhouse Disney block from the same time used Disney Channel graphics:Disney Channel Germany rebranding in 2002, also meant the EMEA team wasn't ready for the new branding for Toon Disney and Playhouse Disney until 2003 (it was better to wait for a total network rebrand as most others did) and DC Germany had been using a kind of US branding for Playhouse Disney for a short time
