How Disney+ Screwed Over Disney TVA Cartoons

With the recent, sooner than expected, conclusion of The Ghost and Molly McGee earlier last month, I can't help but think of why it ended prematurely. The same goes for other shows that met a similar fate like The Owl House, and potentially other shows in the future like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and Hailey's On It. There are several reasons that could explain this trend of shortening Disney Channel cartoons, but I personally believe Disney plus and how often content is uploaded there may be the biggest reason why.

    "Let's cancel this show because it isn't getting enough views on disney channel/disney+" Also disney: gets rid of disney channel in most countries and takes months to years to upload new shows to disney+ outside of the US
  • @kirbystar7474
    Everyone go watch the entire 2nd season of moon girl now if you want a third season.

    The Owl House DEFINITELY got screwed over due to timely events. From what I remembered. It was around the time Disney+ was out for a bit, so none of Season 1 was even on there. The Higher-ups told Dana and crew that they wanted the show to end right when the show was starting to pick up.(after Agony of the Witch aired)
  • @lightyearpig12
    This is how you kill fandoms. Why else do you think the fandom for Hailey's On It is mostly nonexistent outside of people expecting it to become the next Owl House or Amphibia only to be disappointed where their exact expectations aren't met?
  • @Glaciola_ice
    its crazy to know how the cartoons from the 2000 had several season up to 5+ meanwhile cartoons today have to call themselves lucky if they even get 1 season that isnt just 8 eps
  • @ZeepAtomic
    What cartoon fans worried about in the 2010s: Certain shows hogging schedules, crappy reboots and hiatuses. What cartoon fans worry about now: Tax write-offs, unoriginality, mass cancellations, David Zaslav's very existence, public domain, Disney playing corporate dominoes, and streaming being sucky. I don't even think that's all on the list either. Everything sucks as of now.

    it's honestly so sad how almost every show has been cancled 😥
  • At this point Disney has canceled Wander over yonder, Ducktales 2017, The owl house, The ghost and Molly Mcgee, (Milo kinda too). True colors was delayed. Bluey was censored. And way more. "When you put something out into the world it's no longer yours really".
  • @svxd7369
    Releasing an episode at the same time on both cable and streaming is a great idea. I absolutely hate that huge corporations are not allowing creators the freedom they want to do with their content.
  • @AJ-xc4qe
    Anyone else miss when Disney Channel wasn't completely reliant on revivals/spin-offs (Bunk'd, live action Kim Possible, upcoming Descendants spin-off movie with its' story already making no sense) and gave just as much attention to original shows instead of cancelling them before they even reach the four season limit now (The Owl House, Secrets of Sulphur Springs, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Sydney to the Max, Andi Mack)? Edit: many cable networks are desperate to survive and one of those things that would "help them" are cashgrabs that are cheap to make and easy to rely on. And if you're neither of those things, then, well, good luck to you.

    Seriously, all these stupid corporate decisions are what's ruining the running of high quality shows.... No wonder the major Hollywood strike occured last year
  • @Roxie_ET
    Watched the live-action Percy Jackson with my family recently. To my surprise, it had a "release one episode per week" system just like Cable TV, which I had never seen in streaming before. It's possible, I just wish it was done more. Also, I honestly think these are good suggestions that not only will support the creators, but may make Disney's business more successful.
  • @eeveefennecfox
    *glares evilly at disney*,they've killed off so many cartoons that had full potential
  • @sasamichan
    Disney Needs to Make Merchandise ignore demographics and target audience and just accept views who cares about intended ages? Put the characters and lands of the show in the parks Let the creators tell there full story and be willing to tell a story that Republicans, parents and China don't want there children to hear

    Cartoon Network also screws over their post-We Bare Bears cartoons, such as OK K.O.! and Infinity Train, even though they never really deserve it. The shows that did deserve being screwed over were The Powerpuff Girls and Ben 10 reboots, which were only made to sell merchandise. Cartoon Network nowadays barely have any shows still producing new episodes, and majority of it's social media accounts are relying on nostalgia.
  • This video does echo my concerns of companies nowadays focusing on short term gains rather then long term profits. And with how Disney has been going down in terms of audience perceptions makes me think they will have to actually consider solutions like the one you brought up here. Great video as always.
  • @theghosttm8245
    To add onto your points I think they also: Movies - whatever decisions are made for picking writers on their shows should be done for their movies. As well as more time in the “oven” Disney Channels/ XD - Needs the commercials and merchandise that the movies get. I’d kill for official plushies of The Calamity Trio and figurines of many shows.
  • I am very concerned about the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and Hailey's on it now. 😨
  • @TisPopRock
    Disney really needs to start having episodes released once a week, half the fun for some of my favorite shows is engaging with the community and talking about the new episode that dropped. I think that’s why I never finished the owl house because having to binge all of the episodes wasn’t feasible for me.
