The block was two hours long, consisting of four half-hour shows. The lineup changed after every season, adding a new show to the end of the line up while the first show would be bumped off. Eventually, the block was shortened to ninety minutes in 1997. While the block was a hit, it eventually became unpractical when Disney began producing more shows than could be featured in a two-hour block. It ended in 1999, after a successful ten year run.
During its run it spawned an attraction at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland]], a soundtrack (still available on iTunes), and a comic book published by [[Marvel]]. It also had a major comic event in ''[[Disney Adventures]]'' magazine called ''[[The Legend of the Chaos God]]''. Currently a couple of shows have been revived in comics: ''[[Gargoyles]]'' had an [[Screwed by the Network|all-too-short]] (and yet [[Schedule Slip|too long]]) comic by Slave Labor Graphics, while Boom! Studios has begun featuring ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' elements in the long-running ''[[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Uncle Scrooge]]'' comics, then launched new series for ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' and ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]''.
See also [[One Saturday Morning]], [[Saturday Disney]], [[Disney Channel]], [[Toon Disney]], and [[Disney XD]] for other Disney television properties.
