Toon Disney is a 24-hour U.S. cable television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company that mostly airs children's cartoons. The network debuted on April 18, 1998.
A spin-off of The Disney Channel, Toon Disney, shows children's cartoons 24 hours a day (except for minimal live action programming); its format has similarities to those of Cartoon Network and Disney Channel. Originally, the channels programming consisted of older Disney animated television series, including those from The Disney Afternoon and Disney's One Saturday Morning.
There is also a Spanish language and a British version of Toon Disney. Toon Disney networks also broadcast in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, India, and Scandinavia.

Programming blocks
Toon Disney frequently airs groups of series in blocks:
Over the course of Toon Disney's broadcast history, it has had several programming blocks that featured at least two of their shows.
A four-hour block called Magical World of Toons was added in 2000, and came on every night. It disappeared in 2003, where its slot was replaced by The Power Pack, which was a bunch of three-hour marathons of certain shows. It was brought back shortly afterward, but did not have its original look, nor was it even called Magical World of Toons anymore.
Princess Power Hour also came in 2000, and is a one-hour block featuring episodes of Aladdin (the ones featuring Jasmine, at least) and The Little Mermaid. This block still exists today, and it airs every weekend morning.
Also added in 2000 was Chillin' with the Villains. Here, a two-hour marathon of a certain show was presented on Sunday afternoons. However, these particular marathons focused on a certain villain from whichever series was being featured. (Teamo Supremo was a bit of an exception, due to the fact that the show had no regularly recurring villains.) This block was removed in 2004.
Toons in the House, a four-hour weekday-afternoon block similar in spirit to the original Disney Afternoon, was changed from to @Toon in 2001. Shortly after becoming @Toon, before each first commercial break for most of the shows, it featured some viewer submissions and game high scores from the official website. It was removed in 2004.
2002 brought forth Hangin' with the Heroes, which originally aired on weekends, but then aired on weekdays too. It featured Aladdin, Gargoyles, and Hercules: The Animated Series. But like the last two blocks listed, it was removed in 2004.
In November 2004, the Weekday Bonus Stacks were added to the schedule. they were basically three 2 hour marathons of three different shows that aired from 11 AM to 5 PM. Everyday were three shows different from the previous day. Though many kids have enjoyed these shows, many of these programs were already airing in good time slots, so it decreased the variety of shows on the network. In September 2005, this block was renamed the Superstar Bonus Stacks and its starting time changed to 10 AM, but this time airing 7 different shows for an hour each and on a more regular schedule.
In February 2004, the Jetix block, already on ABC Family, was added to Toon Disney's nighttime schedule. Similar to Cartoon Network's Toonami, Jetix airs every weekday between 7PM and 2AM and every weekend between 4PM and 2AM.
