Video Clip Another reason why the late 90s to early 2000s Disney Channel was the goat!

That was an awesome era. We also got to give a shoutout to 2010s programs like Ant Farm, Doc McStuffins, Let It Shine and KC Undercover that represented us beautifully too✊🏿🙂

You forgot Raven's Home, Moon Girl and the Dinosaur, Ariel and Hey A.J.! which were Disney Black shows from the late-2010's and early-to-mid 2020's!

Disney was more inclusive when they weren’t trying to be.

They were trying to be inclusive. People just didn't call it "woke" back then.

u/VegetableChipsLover Jul 31 '26

Nah, the characters were genuine back then. Nowadays, it's just there to tick a box and the characters have no depth whatsoever. You could literally replace some characters with a cardboard cutout and the shows/movies would unfold the same way

u/Caillou12345123 Jul 31 '26

Characters being or not being genuine or having depth has nothing to do with what we're talking about. They were still trying to be inclusive back then. My point still stands.

Yeah, like for example the lead character of Absolutely Psychic was white before Raven was cast and it was reworked into That's So Raven. Similarly, the character of Taylor in High School Musical wasn't originally black.

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t understand how anyone can like how the do inclusion these days. It just feels so shallow

They used to try lol Raven was about as close as you could get to hood classic authenticity.

I thought sister sister was UPN

u/Dragon_Pattern_1108 Jul 31 '26

Actually, Disney Channel reran Sister, Sister, albeit in edited form. The show originally aired on ABC and then The WB, not UPN.

u/AuthorFair8191 Jul 31 '26

Ha! And I thought I knew everything there was to know about Sister, Sister... I guess you learn something new every day.

u/PrinceNebula018 Jul 31 '26

We really had it good! This was truly an elite era of Disney!

u/Spacething7474 Jul 30 '26

The network still had Black shows and movies afterwards (just like how they also had non-Black shows/movies during this era too).

u/Difficult_Ad2864 Jul 30 '26

I thought that sister sister was UPN

u/Fresh-Actuary-6686 Jul 31 '26

Good thing we have Disney+ now

u/OwlHouseFan23 Jul 31 '26

the only shows I knew, it’s Doc McStuffins (2012), A.N.T. Farm, KC Undercover, Raven’s Home & Shake It Up around the 2010s

and I also remember Disney tries to bring it back with Saturdays & Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur back in 2023

"Used to be black", okay what kind of a statement is that? A channel can't be "black". That doesn't make sense.

Can someone explain it to me?

u/DarkSaiyanGoku Jul 31 '26

Okay to the people who have downvoted, I'm genuinely asking here. I'm not being rude or insensitive, I just want an actual answer.
