Animation Revelation's Animation Blog

This September, Disney’s groundbreaking syndicated block, the Disney Afternoon, turns 20. Containing such fan favorite series as DuckTales and The Adventures of the Gummi Bears, as well as then-newly discovered favorites including as Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, and Goof Troop, the Disney Afternoon gave life to fresh animation, clever storytelling, and a great cast of characters.

To be sure that we can celebrate the block’s anniversary in time by September 10th, we’ll be posting retrospectives on some of the most popular series in the block’s 7 season run. The series we have planned to write about include:

• The Adventures of the Gummi Bears
• DuckTales
• Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers
• TaleSpin
• Darkwing Duck
• Goof Troop
• Bonkers
• Gargoyles
• Aladdin
• Timon & Pumbaa
• Quack Pack

If you’re a fan of these series, have been curious about their existance, or even just have an interest in animation despite not being familiar with these shows, this blog series will hopefully be up your alley. Our first retrospective, Gummi Bears, will be up sometime this week.
