Toon Disney was a British television channel that aired alongside the British versions of the Disney Channel and the Playhouse Disney.

It aired the same shows as Disney Channel, excluding live-action shows such as Lizzie McGuire, Smart Guy and Boy Meets World.

Presentation

When Toon Disney UK was launched, it used the same logostyle as the main Disney Channel, although the only ident to be found was Tug of War.

In 2003, Toon Disney adopted a new logo, with new idents and graphics created by CA Square. The logo was also adopted by Toon Disney US in 2005.

Replacement

From September 2005, a pre-launch promo saying "The Incredibles! Coming soon!" aired on all three channels. Soon, another promo aired, this time revealing the name "Disney Cinemagic". The promo had Mickey Mouse wearing his attire from "The Scorcerer's Apprentice". He walked onto a blank white screen, got hold of a magic wand, touched the tip with his finger and transformed it into a television remote. He pressed a button on the remote and holograms of Disney characters come out. On 16 March 2006, Toon Disney UK was showing back-to-back episodes of Kim Possible before it eventually closed down. It then aired a testcard saying, "Disney Cinemagic. Coming soon!". This lasted four hours, until 10:00, when it was replaced by Disney Cinemagic.
