The ''other'' cartoon block of the 1990s to be created by Disney.
In 1997, [[The Disney Afternoon]] was running its last leg, and [[Disney]] had just bought out [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. Peter Hastings, a former writer of ''[[Animaniacs]]'' and ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'', had just moved to them from [[Warner Bros]]. out of his frustration with the [[Executive Meddling]] happening to the latter cartoon, so he was put in charge of coming up with a new Saturday morning block for ABC. The idea he came up with (as seen in the block's intro sequence) was that the weekdays are represented as buildings, and the building for Saturday is a special one, where it is like "five hours of summer once a week", according to the theme song (ironically, most of the cartoons created for the block would tend to take place at school). It was called Disney's One Saturday Morning (the "one" being the building's address number).
One Saturday Morning was the name of not only the block, but also a hosting show-within-the-block starring a girl and an elephant as the hosts. This was where episodes of three of the block's most prominently featured shows (newcomers ''[[Recess]]'' (which quickly became the most popular show on the block) and ''[[Pepper Ann]]'', and Disney's [[Retool|ReTooled]] version of ''[[Doug]]'') were presented. It was also home to many interstitial segments shown between the programs, listed below. The hosts and interstitials disappeared from the block in 2000.
