If you are a child of the 80’s and 90’s like I was, you remember watching such shows as Ducktales, Chip n’ Dale, Resue Rangers, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, Bonkers, Quack Pack, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Marsupilami, Gargoyles, and many more. If you are not familiar with the Disney Afternoon Shows, they were produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and aired between 1990 and 1997. The sad thing about these great shows is not all of them are available for purchase to have in your own home collection.
I recently got in contact with Jason Martin Schlierman, creator of the popular site Open Vault Disney. His mission is to petition Disney to release these great titles and others such as One Saturday Morning cartoons and the 1983-1997 Disney Channel Original Series shows.

Anything to get these old shows released!
I also hope they finally release all those MouseWorks shorts at some point too. Those were fantastic!!
Agreed! Mickey Mouse Works is one of the titles we list on our One Saturday Morning petition.
i videotaped all of the Marsupilami episodes as well as the Bonkers shows. what i didn’t get was most of the Raw Toonage, nor most of the Shnookums and Meat shows. the local station didn’t carry the “Disney Afternoon” block, they aired each series as stand alones. the opening themes to the stand alones were a bit different than the block formatted shows. i noticed this when i taped the DA blocks from an affiliate 100 miles to the north of where i lived (thanks to an excellent UHF tv antenna).
I agree with Marsupilami. He was an awesome Disney character. I loved him and his gorilla pal, Maurice. Marsupilami is my favorite 90’s Disney character.
I’d like to point out Soccermania had already been released through things like the “Extreme Sports Fun” DVD, but I hold no objection.
I would like to see complete season sets of Timon and Pumbaa get released in the United States of America
