With clever thinking from Clover and help from their friends, they manage to calm the animated pie before it wrecks the Pie Contest. Thumper learns a lesson about patience and following instructions, and Clover’s quick thinking saves the day.

Act 5:
At the contest, their initially unruly pie turns out to be the hit of the event, impressing everyone with its unique “flavors and dance moves.” The episode ends with the whole village enjoying the pie together, laughing over the day’s events.

Closing Theme:
As the credits roll, small vignettes show Thumper and Clover helping clean up the mess they made in Fernando’s stall, showing their growth and responsibility, setting up their characters for more adventures.

### Additional Episode Ideas:

Bad change to late nights: Gone is What’s With Andy?, Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders and Dude! That’s My Ghost, Only 2 shows remain now, Has this happened to other EU feeds?

Title: Changes to Disney Channel CEE’s Night Schedule

User1: Hey guys, has anyone noticed the recent changes to the Disney Channel’s late-night schedule starting May 12th? It sounds like they’ve really cut back on show variety during late hours.

User2: Yes, I just saw that! Now from midnight, they’re just rotating between Bubu & The Little Owls and The Tofus. What happened to Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders and Dude! That’s My Ghost? Those were great for some variety.

User3: It’s really disappointing. Seems like Disney Channel across the EU might be streamlining their nocturnal broadcasts. It’s the same few shows on repeat every night, which gets boring really fast.

User4: Is there a reason for this? I think it might be cost-cutting or maybe they’re planning to push these shows onto Disney+ exclusively?

User5: Not sure about the exact reason, but it definitely feels like a move towards promoting their streaming service. By the way, does anyone know why they now air the same four movies every day? It’s becoming so monotonous.

User1: Definitely feels like a downgrade. Those movies air over and over until 2 PM—I mean, how many times can we watch Frozen and Moana in a week? Children might enjoy the repetition, but it’s a bit much.

User2: Totally agree. The charm of Disney Channel was always about variety and discovering different stories and characters. These changes could really impact how audiences engage with the channel.

User3: For me, it’s a loss for kids who stay up late or watch TV during unusual hours—like when they’re sick or can’t sleep. Having a diverse selection can make those moments a lot more bearable.

User4: Has anyone reached out to Disney about this? Maybe if enough of us express our concerns, they might reconsider some of the programming decisions.

User5: Good idea, I think I’ll send them feedback. Hopefully, if enough subscribers voice the same concerns, they might bring back some variety to the late-night schedule.

User1: Let’s keep this thread updated with any responses or changes. It’s important for loyal viewers to stick together and share their opinions on these shifts. Thanks for bringing this up!

User3: In Spain we have Cambio De Clase (Quelli dell’intervallo in Spanish), Bubu & The Little Owls and Chaotic on rotation. How is Disney NL doing

User6: It’s interesting to see the changes across different European feeds. I’ve been tracking the Disney Channel NL schedule, and it’s gotten quite hectic. They’ve put six shows on the late-night slots, but the timings seem completely random each night.

User7: Really? That sounds incredibly frustrating for anyone trying to follow a particular series. How are viewers supposed to keep up if they can’t predict when it’ll air?

User6: Exactly! And it’s worse if you’re trying to record episodes. Basically, you’d need to record the entire night’s programming because one day a show might air at 11 PM, and the next it could be at 2 AM. There’s no consistency at all.

User8: That sounds like a nightmare for parents who want to set recordings for their kids. Do you know why they’re doing this? Another push towards streaming services, or just poor scheduling?

User6: I’m not sure of the exact reason. It could be a bit of both. Disney Channel seems to be heavily promoting Disney+ by creating this inconvenience. Making traditional viewing unpredictable might be a strategy to drive subscriptions for their streaming service, where shows can be viewed any time.

User9: That’s an interesting strategy, but also quite alienating for a lot of viewers who prefer or rely on traditional TV programming. Maybe it’s time for viewers to provide feedback to Disney directly.

User7: Agreed, and given how diverse the viewership is in terms of age and preferences, it doesn’t seem very considerate. Disney should consider the impact on all their viewers, especially families and children who have set routines.

User6: I’m planning to reach out to Disney Channel NL to see if any clarification can be provided. Maybe if more of us show urgency and concern about these erratic schedules, they might consider making improvements.

User8: Please keep us updated. If they respond, it would be interesting to see how they justify these decisions. It might give us better insights into their broader strategy across all European feeds.
Write a convo aksing what 6 shows they are
User7: Just curious, User6, you mentioned six shows on the Disney NL late-night slots. Do you know which shows they are rotating?

User6: Yeah, it’s quite a mix. They have Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders, The Tofus, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Bubu & The Little Owls, What’s With Andy?, and Wunschpunsch. It’s a blend of different genres and styles.

User8: That’s quite diverse. Is there any pattern to how they’re airing? Like alternating genres or something?

User6: Not that I can tell. One night might be heavy on animated series and the next could lead with live-action. It seems completely random, which, as you can imagine, doesn’t help with planning viewing times.

User7: That’s really chaotic, especially for families who might want to catch particular shows. Is there a reason why they have such varied programming late at night?

User6: From chats and some forums, it sounds like they’re trying to cater to a wider audience, including teenagers who might be up later. But without a consistent schedule, it’s hard for anyone to keep track. Write a follow up where a suer says the show most likely to air more than 3 times during this slot
User9: That schedule does sound like a challenge. User6, based on your observation, which show seems to air more commonly? Is there one that appears more than three times a night often?

User6: Good question! From what I’ve seen, Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders and The Tofus seem to have the most frequent airings during the late-night slots. Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders especially seems to pop up at least three times or more most nights.

User8: Interesting, and it seems Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders would appeal to a younger audience. Does that fit with the demographic that would be up during those hours? It sounds a bit off to me.

User7: Exactly my thought, User8. It’s a show typically aimed at a younger demographic, so having it air repeatedly late at night is puzzling unless they are banking on digital recording or other time-shifted viewing.

User6: That could very well be the case. The random scheduling and frequent repeats might be a strategy to encourage parents to record these shows for children to watch at a more appropriate time.

User9: Makes sense, though it still feels like a big ask for parents to navigate this kind of programming chaos. Disney really should consider the user experience more, especially for families with young kids.

User8: Absolutely. Hopefully, our feedback gets noticed. Thanks for the insights, everyone. Let’s keep this discussion going and see if anything changes in the upcoming schedule updates.
Write a convo asking if any still air it during the day, or is that asking too much (because it will take time away from their precious modern shows)
User1: Has anyone noticed if Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders still airs during the day, or has it been completely shifted to late-night slots?

User2: I was actually looking for it last week during daytime but didn’t spot it. It seems like it’s been squeezed out by the newer shows.

User3: Yeah, it seems like daytime is now reserved for the latest and most popular series. I guess they think those will draw more viewers and leave the older or less trending shows for late at night.

User4: That’s frustrating. It’s a quality show that deserves a spot when more kids can watch it. Do you think it’s too much to ask Disney to reconsider their scheduling? It feels like they prioritize their newest shows way too much.

User5: Honestly, it might be a long shot given their current programming strategy, but it’s not unreasonable to ask. Perhaps if enough of us express that we value these older yet impactful shows during more accessible hours, they might make some changes.

User1: True, the least we can do is voice our concerns. They need to balance their schedule to cater to both new and loyal audiences. Shows like Thumper and Clover’s Woodsy Wonders shouldn’t just be pushed to odd hours.

User3: Agreed. If anyone else here wants to reach out to Disney, count me in. It’s important they understand the full picture. Sometimes, I wonder if they realize the developmental value these shows have during appropriate viewing times for kids.

User4: Absolutely, let’s put together a message outlining our thoughts and see if we can make any impact. It’s worth a try for the sake of quality children’s programming.

User2: Great idea, I’m on board. Let’s draft something and maybe start a petition or something to gather more support from other parents and viewers.

User1: I’ll start a draft and post it here for feedback. We can fine-tune it together and hopefully make some positive changes! Thanks for the support, everyone.
Write a convo asking what the French overnight schedule has, Also a user notes that 1 show is coming to the Spain overnight schedule, replacing Chaotic, This CONFIRMS that 2 shows are practically mandatory for overnight schedules
User1: Hey, does anyone know what the current overnight schedule looks like on Disney Channel France? I’m trying to compare it with other regions.

User2: Last I checked, the French overnight schedule mostly includes ‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir’, ‘The Tofus’, and a couple of other local shows. They seem to have a pretty steady rotation, though I haven’t seen any major updates recently.

User3: Interesting! By the way, I heard that Disney Channel Spain is making a change to their overnight schedule. ‘Chaotic’ is being replaced by ‘The Tofus. Looks like some shows are just staples for these late slots.

User4: That makes sense, it seems like ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus’ are almost mandatory for overnight schedules across multiple regions. Maybe they perform well or are just good fillers?

User5: Yeah, seems very likely. It’s interesting to see how certain shows become a regular fixture in these overnight slots. I guess they have their reasons, be it viewer ratings during those hours or just the nature of the show fitting the late-night vibe.

User1: It really does look like a strategic choice. Maybe they aim for shows that are easy viewing or have specific elements that make them suitable for those odd hours?

User2: Could be the case. It’s also possible that these shows have universal appeal or are just the kind that doesn’t need to be watched in a specific order, making them perfect for anyone tuning in at odd hours.

User3: True, shows like ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ are great for non-sequential viewing. Kids or even adults can jump into any episode without feeling lost.

User4: I wonder if there’s any feedback mechanism where viewers can share their preferences for overnight programming. It’d be interesting to see if the audience alignment is there with the choices being made.

User5: Definitely worth looking into. It would be good for networks to align their overnight schedules with viewer habits and preferences for everyone involved! Write a follow up saying no matter where you travel in Europe you can’t escape the owl siblings or hippie family
User1: It’s funny, no matter where you travel in Europe, you just can’t seem to escape the owl siblings from ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ or the hippie family from ‘The Tofus’.

User2: So true! These shows seem to be everywhere during the overnight slots. It’s like they’ve become the unofficial mascots of the Disney Channel’s late-night lineup across the continent.

User3: I’ve noticed that too! Whether I’m in Germany, France, or staying in Spain, flipping to Disney Channel at night almost guarantees you’ll run into either ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ or ‘The Tofus’. It’s a bizarrely comforting constant when traveling.

User4: Absolutely! It almost feels like no matter the cultural differences across Europe, we can all unite under the soothing yet repetitive presence of those owl siblings and that quirky hippie family.

User5: I guess it makes programming sense for Disney. Those shows must have the right mix of charm and simplicity to keep them universal and evergreen, especially during times when the audience might be more diverse in terms of age and background.

User1: Maybe they just strike the right balance between being engaging enough to attract viewers and gentle enough not to need too much attention to follow along. Perfect for those late-night, half-awake viewing times.

User2: That’s a spot-on observation. Plus, the casual fun and non-linear narratives are probably exactly what viewers look for during those late hours when they’re not completely focused but still want something nice in the background.

User3: It’s also probably a cost-effective strategy for Disney, keeping popular yet undemanding shows on repeat during less critical broadcasting times. Interesting how broadcast strategies actually shape our shared cultural moments, even subconsciously.

User4: Really puts into perspective the role of these shows in providing a kind of cozy, familiar atmosphere, no matter where you are in Europe. Disney’s late-night schedule indirectly creates a shared cultural experience. Quite fascinating when you think about it.

User5: Indeed, next time I catch ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ at some odd hour, I’ll think about someone else in another part of Europe doing the exact same thing. Disney Channel: uniting Europe one owl episode at a time!
Write a convo saying they’re only still there due to a independent content quota, They fulfill this at night as not to interfere with the daytime schedule, “Keep that in mind next time you can’t sleep and see Bubu, Biel and Bonie, or Mom, Pop, Lola and ChiChi”
User1: Did anyone else wonder why ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus’ are practically permanent fixtures in the overnight schedules across European Disney Channels?

User2: I’ve heard it’s not just about viewer preferences. There’s actually a regulatory side to it. European channels have quotas for independent content, and by airing these shows at night, they fulfill these quotas without impacting the more competitive daytime schedules.

User3: Ah, that makes a lot of sense now. So it’s a strategic move to balance compliance with viewer demands during peak hours. Clever way to handle regulations while keeping prime slots open for blockbuster shows.

User4: Exactly! It’s about meeting the legal requirements in a way that least affects their main audience attraction during the day. Even if they’re not everyone’s top picks, ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus’ serve as important placeholders.

User5: Right, so next time you find yourself up late and see Bubu, Biel, and Bonie hopping around, or Mom, Pop, Lola, and ChiChi going about their quirky adventures, keep in mind it’s all part of how Disney juggles content quotas and programming needs.

User1: It’s interesting when you think about it—programming isn’t just about entertainment but also about navigating through a labyrinth of broadcasting rules and regulations.

User2: Definitely adds a layer of complexity to what we see on our screens. It’s not just what the broadcasters think we’ll like, but also what they need to air to fulfill these external requirements.

User3: Makes me wonder what other programming decisions are influenced by similar factors. There’s probably a lot more strategic planning and regulatory compliance behind our favorite TV schedules than we realize.

User4: For sure. It’s a whole behind-the-scenes game of chess that shapes our viewing experience, often in ways we might not even notice until someone points it out.

User5: Next time I can’t sleep and end up watching these shows, I’ll probably have a new appreciation for why they’re airing. Thanks for shedding light on this, everyone!

Here’s the current Spain schedule

- 12:00 AM: Cambio de Clase
- 1:00 AM: Chaotic
- 2:00 AM: Bubu & The Little Owls
- 3:00 AM: Cambio de Clase
- 4:00 AM: Chaotic
- 5:00 AM: Bubu & The Little Owls
- 6:00 AM: Spider Riders

What will it look like after 10 June. Write a follow up where a user lists the new overnight Spain schedule
User1: Hey everyone, just got a look at the new overnight schedule for Disney Channel Spain effective 10th June. Looks like there are some changes coming up:

- 12:00 AM: Cambio de Clase
- 1:00 AM: The Tofus (replacing Chaotic)
- 2:00 AM: Bubu & The Little Owls
- 3:00 AM: Cambio de Clase
- 4:00 AM: The Tofus (replacing Chaotic)
- 5:00 AM: Bubu & The Little Owls
- 6:00 AM: Spider Riders

User2: Interesting change with ‘The Tofus’ replacing ‘Chaotic’. Seems like they’re keeping the rotation pretty much aligned with what was discussed about meeting content quotas during non-peak hours.

User3: ‘The Tofus’ seems to be a staple for overnight slots across Europe. It fits the laid-back late-night vibe quite well. Plus, maintaining ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ at its usual times shows they’re sticking with what’s working for their specific target overnight audience.

User4: I guess ‘Cambio de Clase’ continues to be the buffer in between. I wonder if that’s because it has a relatively light and comedic style that’s easy for late-night viewers to digest?

User5: Absolutely, and it’s also a smart way of programming to provide continuity and familiarity in the schedule. It’s easier for the audience to keep track of, even if they dip in and out of watching.

User6: Here’s hoping this schedule will continue to meet viewer needs as well as fulfilling those all-important regulatory requirements. Thanks for the update, User1!
Write a convo where a user has the Italy overnight schedule
User1: Hey everyone, I just got the latest update on the Disney Channel overnight schedule for Italy. Thought it might be interesting to compare with other regions!

User2: Oh, that would be great! What’s the line-up looking like?

User1: Here it is:
- 12:00 AM: ‘Quelli dell’intervallos’
- 1:00 AM: ‘The Tofus’
- 2:00 AM: ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’
- 3:00 AM: ‘Quelli dell’intervallos’ (repeat)
- 4:00 AM: ‘The Tofus’ (repeat)
- 5:00 AM: ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ (repeat)
- 6:00 AM: ‘Art Attack’

User3: Looks pretty similar to Spain’s new schedule. ‘The Tofus’ and ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ seem to be holding strong in those late slots across Europe.

User4: Definitely seeing a pattern here with ‘The Tofus’ and ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’. I’m curious, does ‘Quelli dell’intervallo’ have a big following in Italy? It’s interesting to see it featured so prominently in the late night slots.

User1: Yes, ‘Quelli dell’intervallo’ is quite popular here. It’s a light-hearted show that seems to work well for late-night viewing. Plus, since it’s an Italian show, it adds a local flavor that probably resonates well with the audience.

User5: I wonder if the presence of a local show like ‘Quelli dell’intervallo’ helps meet certain content quotas or requirements for local programming in Italy?

User2: That’s a great point, User5. It could be a strategic move to balance imported content with home-grown shows, ensuring compliance with local broadcasting regulations while keeping the audience engaged.

User4: It’s fascinating to see how each region tailors its overnight schedule not only to meet regulations but also to cater to local tastes. Thanks for sharing this, User1. It really highlights the diversity and strategy behind scheduling decisions.
Write a follow up where Germany has 5 shows at night, Spider Riders is one of them, the others are the usual European overnight fodder shows
User1: Just got the scoop on Germany’s overnight Disney Channel schedule. Looks like they’re running a set of five shows through the night. Spider Riders made the cut here as well!

User2: Interesting! What are the other shows in the lineup?

User1: Here’s what the schedule looks like:
- 12:00 AM: ‘The Tofus’
- 1:00 AM: ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’
- 2:00 AM: ‘Spider Riders’
- 3:00 AM: ‘The Tofus’ (repeat)
- 4:00 AM: ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ (repeat)
- 5:00 AM: ‘Spider Riders’ (repeat)
- 6:00 AM: ‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir’

User3: So it seems ‘The Tofus’ and ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ are almost a staple in the late-night slots across Europe, and now Germany is integrating ‘Spider Riders’ more frequently too.

User4: That’s quite a lineup. ‘Spider Riders’ is a bit different from the usual relaxed vibe of ‘The Tofus’ and ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’. It’s cool to see it in there, possibly appealing to a slightly different audience who are up late.

User5: Absolutely, it brings a nice variety to the usual mix of content. I also notice ‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir’ popping up as the morning approaches. That’s a popular one!

User2: Yes, it looks like they’re trying to cater to various tastes throughout the night, which is smart. Keeping viewers engaged with a mix of calm, reflective shows and then adding some action-oriented ones.

User3: Do you think this sort of diverse scheduling helps maintain viewer interest during those non-peak hours? I mean, balancing different genres well into the early morning?

User4: Definitely, they’re likely aiming to appeal to different demographics that might tune in at different times. Late night could be attracting a younger, perhaps more engaged crowd seeking action, while the very late or early morning hours might need more calming content for a different audience.

User1: Right, it’s about striking the right balance and possibly even introducing shows to people who might not usually watch them at more conventional times. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, everyone!
Write a follow up where a user says 2 shows aren’t part of the staple lineup anymore, and he questions how B&TLO and The Tofus are apparently more important than those 2
User6: Just noticed something interesting in the latest schedules. It seems like two shows that were regular parts of the overnight lineup aren’t featured anymore. Instead, ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus’ continue to dominate these slots. I’m really curious—how have these two managed to stick around while others got the boot?

User7: That’s a good point, User6. It does make you wonder what factors into these decisions. ‘Bubuc & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus’ are indeed staples, but are they genuinely more popular or valuable for Disney Channel compared to the others that were removed?

User8: I’d speculate that it might have to do with viewership figures during those time slots, or perhaps these shows fit better with the regulatory content quotas we discussed earlier. They could be seen as safer or more reliable choices to fill the slots.

User9: Also, could it be that ‘Bubu & The Little Owlo’ and ‘The Tofus’ have broader international appeal? If these shows perform well across different regions, it might make sense for the network to keep them as regular fixtures, benefiting from economies of scale in programming.

User10: Indeed, and let’s not underestimate the power of content that doesn’t demand heavy engagement. Shows that are easy to jump into at any episode and don’t require sequential watching might naturally perform better in those irregular overnight hours.

User6: That’s a fair point! But still, it’s kind of disappointing to see less diversity in the lineup. I was a fan of one of the shows they dropped. It’s a shame that variety seems to be taking a back seat to whatever algorithm or criteria they are using.

User7: Totally agree, User6. I think it would be beneficial for Disney to maybe rotate their selections more frequently to give other shows a fair airing and keep the overnight schedule refreshing.

User8: Maybe we should start a feedback thread or a petition to bring this issue to Disney’s attention? If enough viewers express a desire for more variety, perhaps they might reconsider their strategy.

User9: Great idea, User8! Count me in. It’s really about letting them know what the audience thinks. After all, they should be interested in keeping their viewers engaged and satisfied with the programming.

User10: I’ll help draft that feedback. It’s important that the broadcasters know we care not just about what is shown, but how it’s shown. Let’s hope we can make some impact and bring back some of our favorites while keeping the lineup fresh.
Write a follow up where a user lists the 2 shows shafted so the other 2 could take priority, also 1 show has became a unofficial staple, airing in a few countries, although not as many as Bubu or Tofus
User11: I looked up which two shows got dropped to prioritize ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus.’ It turns out ‘What’s With Andy?’ and ‘Wunschpunsch’ are the ones that got the chop. It’s kind of frustrating because both had their unique charm and a decent fan base.

User12: That’s really disappointing! ‘What’s With Andy?’ especially had some great comedic moments. It seems like a loss to the diversity of the lineup, replacing it with shows that, although good, don’t offer the same level of engagement.

User13: And speaking of patterns in programming, have you guys noticed how ‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir’ has become a sort of unofficial staple? It’s not as ubiquitous as ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ or ‘The Tofus,’ but it’s consistently appearing in late-night schedules in several countries now.

User14: Yes, I’ve seen ‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybiug & Cat Noir’ a lot during late nights when channel surfing. It makes sense, though. It has a broad appeal, not to mention a strong following. Probably why it’s catching on more widely, even if it’s not as frequently as the others.

User15: It’s interesting to see how some shows become these staples across multiple regions, whether officially or unofficially. ‘Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir’ being one such case. I guess it hits that sweet spot of engaging content that’s suitable for irregular hours.

User11: Honestly, I think a bit more rotation wouldn’t hurt. Keeping ‘Bubu & The Little Owls’ and ‘The Tofus’ continuously might make the schedule predictable but at the cost of stifling other potentially great shows from getting the same exposure.

User12: Absolutely, there should be a balance. Perhaps introducing themed nights or more rotational programming might help keep the overnight content more lively and exciting, while still meeting any regulatory needs.

User13: That’s a solid suggestion, User12. Seasonal rotations or themed nights could bring back shows like ‘What’s With Andy?’ and ‘Wunschpunsch’ for fans, but also keep the staples for those who enjoy them. Worth proposing to Disney!

User14: Let’s compile some of these suggestions and present them officially. Maybe a well-thought-out proposal could influence some upcoming scheduling choices.

User15: Great idea! Let’s take the lead on revitalizing the overnight schedule. It benefits us as viewers and keeps the channel dynamic and fresh. Who knows? Maybe it’ll set a precedent for others to follow.
