With the announcement of Amphibia and Owl House coming to the Disney Channel, and others speculate Star vs the Forces of Evil’s 4th season will premiere on the channel, many have noticed that animated shows are making a comeback to the Disney Channel. I don’t have to remind anyone how the popularity of tweencom shows drove their animated fare over to Disney XD (due to boys liking animation more, I guess?).
But the question now is why are more animated shows coming to DC? Is it because they’ve failed to find a hot tweencom show that was on the level of Hanna Montana’s popularity, and animation has proven to perform just as well, if not better than their current batch of shows? Is it that they noticed how popular cartoons are with the female demographic especially with online communities? Is it because female led animated cartoons have finally proven to be popular with both boys and girls? Or is it because cartoons starring girls would be better suited for the girl skewing Disney Channel as opposed to the boy skewing Disney XD? Or it could be all of the above?
