Quick guide
The Wonderful World of Disney is a long‑running anthology series that brings Disney’s classic and new movies, shorts, and specials to prime‑time TV.

In 1997, after Disney bought ABC, the show returned under the current title and aired a mix of theatrical releases, TV movies, and original shorts.
