Walt Disney Television
Walt Disney Productions (kasneje The Walt Disney Company) je od leta 1954 produciral antologijsko televizijsko serijo pod več različnimi naslovi. Izvirna različica serije je premierno zaživela na ABC leta 1954. Oddaja je bila tedensko predvajana na eni od treh največjih televizijskih mrež do leta 1990, kar je trajalo 36 let z le dvema letoma premora v letih 1984-85. Serija je bila predvajana ob nedeljah 25 od teh let. Od leta 1991 do 1997 se je serija predvajala redko. Oddaja je leta 1997 ponovno začela redni program na jesenskem programu ABC, kar je sovpadalo z nedavnim nakupom mreže s strani Disneyja. Od leta 1997 do 2008 je bil program redno predvajan na ABC. Nato je ABC nadaljeval serijo kot občasno posebno oddajo.
About
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.
Premiering in 1954 as Walt Disney’s Disneyland, the series has been rebroadcast and renamed several times. 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. Episodes are family‑friendly, with a mix of animation and live‑action, and often include behind‑the‑scenes or historical segments.
