However, in recent years, Toon Disney became more (in)famous for its severe case of [[Network Decay]], and the process that led to its overhaul. On February 14, 2004, [[Jetix]], the result of Disney buying out Saban and Fox Kids, began airing in prime-time, consisting of [[Macekre|poorly-dubbed anime]] that had nothing to do with Disney other than being owned by the company and, of all things, ''[[Power Rangers]]'', which certainly wasn't ''exactly'' a cartoon.
 
At first, Jetix was only a two-hour block (that also aired on ABC Family; they dropped it after two years), but the block chose to expand themselves and took up more and more of the networks' hours. Because of Jetix's expanding, the old Disney cartoons that once made up the majority of the channel's schedule were all dropped one by one in favor of running contemporary shows from the regular [[Disney Channel]] that had ''not even been canceled yet''. The channel then began airing live-action movies (a trait that would soon taint [[Cartoon Network]] as well), soon adding ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'' to their regular schedule as well. In the Jetix programming, Toon Disney ran reruns of cartoons based on Marvel Comics superheroes, most likely to cash in on [[The Movie|The Movies]]s that the characters were now starring in. In addition, Jetix picked up reruns of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'', ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'', and ''[[Superman: The Animated Series|Superman the Animated Series]]'', completely ignoring the fact that those cartoons were produced by Disney's biggest competitor, [[Warner Bros]]
 
In 2008, Disney announced that, due to the channel's demographic preferring to instead watch [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Nickelodeon]] they were dropping Toon Disney and replacing it with an all-boys' network called [[Disney XD]], come February 13, 2009. In other words, Toon Disney has effectively become Jetix, albeit without the Jetix name.
