About Our Movement
We are a group of fans who believe that the popularity of a T.V. Show should determine how many episodes of a show are made, and when/how often it is shown. That being said this website has two goals:
1. The formal abolishment of Disney's 65 episode rule, and the continued production of new episodes of quality shows such as Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch, and Phil of the Future.
2. The revitalization of quality Disney shows that are no longer in production, such as (but by no means limited to) Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and Ducktales. Basicly, we want DVD boxsets and/or a channel that gives them decent airplay.
We have made great strides to accomplishing these goals in the past year. Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, and TaleSpin have all receved at least one DVD boxset of 20+ episodes. More Boxsets are expected to follow, you can see a list of all available boxsets here.
In addition, Kim Possible has received the green light for a fourth season as a direct result of the Save KP movement lead by SDS. The first four episodes aired February 10th 2007 on Disney Channel.
The fact that Michael Eisner was removed from his position as CEO of The Walt Disney Company at the end of September 2005 is also an encouraging sign for our movement. Robert A. Iger is the new CEO and hopefully his new team will be much more competent.
Mr. Iger has, since the announcement that he will become the new CEO, started to try and fix the mess left by Eisner. Time will tell if he is up to the challenge or not. We at SaveDisneyShows.org applaud his initiative in these matters, but are concerned that fixing the Disney Channel, Toon Disney, and ABC Family Channel are not among his first priorities. Therefore our job is to make Mr. Iger aware of the problems that need fixing now. If we all work together we can and will continue to change things for the better.
You can view a listing of all planned Save Disney Shows sponsored events here, and you can access our colection of postal addresses, phone numbers and fax numbers for the Walt Disney Company here.
