Thread Title: Major Shake-Up at Disney XD UK: Reverting to Jet0ix, Major Show Changes!

Post by DisneyDude101:
Hey everyone, big news for Disney XD UK fans! Looks like the channel is undergoing a huge part makeover - they’re changing the name back to Jetix! This brings so many childhood memories. Plus, they’re shaking up their current programming majorly. They’ve already dropped two shows. Thoughts on which shows made the cut and which ones didn’t?

Reply by JetixJunkie:
Whoa, really?! That’s insane! It feels like stepping back into the early 2000s. Do you know which shows got cut and which are staying? I hope they keep some of the good ones!

Reply by DisneyDude101:
Yep, it’s happening! The shows getting the axe are “Yo-Kai Watch” and “MECH-X4.” But not all is lost. From what I heard, only four of the existing Disney XD shows are staying. They’re keeping “DuckTales,” “Big Hero 6: The Series,” “Star Wars Rebels,” and “Marvel’s Spider-Man.”

Reply by ToonFan4Ever:
Only 4 shows surviving? That’s harsh! Glad “Star Wars Rebels” is still in, but really sad about “MECH-X4”. Any news on what new or returning shows Jetix might bring to fill up the rest of the schedule?

Reply by HeroUp:
So, they’re really rolling back to Jetix, huh? Honestly, could be a good chance to reintroduce some classics. Maybe bring back some shows like “Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!” or even something like “Galactic Football”.

Reply by DisneyDramaQueen:
Devastated about “Yo-Kai Watch”! 😢 My kids loved that one. Wonder why they chose to keep “Marvel’s Spider-Man” over more diverse content. Any rumors on what Jetix’s vibe will be? More action-oriented, or will they try to diversify?

Reply by DisneyDude101:
@DisneyDramaQueen, there’s talk that Jetix will blend classic action with new-age animation to attract both nostalgic viewers and the younger generation. So, potentially a good mix of action and varied content. Should be interesting to see what direction they officially go in.

Reply by ClassicCartoonChamp:
Can’t wait to see what they do with Jetix! Keeping “DuckTales” and “Big Hero 6” at least shows they’re keeping some quality content. Let’s hope they bring back some old favorites and maybe some fresh, engaging new series! Fingers crossed 🤞.

Reply by JetixJunkie:
Definitely a mixed bag of feelings. Losing some good shows, but also potentially gaining a unique blend of classic and new. Let’s keep the updates coming as we hear more about this massive shake-up!

Replacing “Gravity Falls” and “Phineas and Ferb”?! Those are huge shoes to fill. The new stuff looks exciting though. “Jackie Chan Adventures” and “W.I.T.C.H” reboot sound promising!

Reply by JetixJunkie:
Mixed feelings here… “Star vs. the Forces of Evil” had such a good run, sad to see it go. But, really thrilled about Astro Boy reboot, it could be intriguing, fingers crossed they do it justice.

Reply by DisneyDramaQueen:
Ugh! Can’t believe they’re axing “Milo Murphy’s Law”, it was so underrated! Excited for “Monster Buster Club” though, didn’t think that would ever come back!

Reply by ClassicCartoonChamp:
“Jackie Chan Adventures”? Now, that’s a throwback! But seriously, “Guardians of the Galaxy” was a solid fit for the channel. Hope the new lineup maintains the action and fun that made those series popular.

Reply by NostalgiaNerd:
Totally agree about the shock swapping out “Guardians of the Galaxy.” However, Jetix seems to be pushing for a good mix of action and adventure with these new series. Let’s hope this revamp brings in the viewers and keeps the Jetix spirit alive!

Reply by HeroUp:
Thanks for the update, DisneyDude101! Here’s hoping Jetix manages to capture both old fans and new audiences with this drastically changed lineup. Quite a gamble, but could be worth it! Anyone know when the new shows officially start airing?

Thread Title: What’s Replacing Phineas and Ferb & Gravity Falls on Jetix?

Post by CuriousCartoonFan:
Just read about the major changes as Disney XD UK turns back to Jetix! But, I’m a bit unclear on some details. “Phineas and Ferb” and “Gravity Falls” are both beloved shows, and they’re among the seven cut from the lineup. What’s going to fill their specific slots? I noticed “Astro Boy” and “Jackie Chan Adventures” were mentioned as new additions, but are these the direct replacements, or do we have other shows taking their prime-time spots?

Reply by DisneyDude101:
Great question, CuriousCartoonFan! Here’s how it’s breaking down. The slots previously held by “Phineas and Ferb” and “Gravity Falls” are indeed getting fresh content, but not directly from “Astro Boy” or “Jackie Chan Adventures.” Here’s the updated breakdown:

Replacing “Phineas and Ferb”: “Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu” will take over this slot. It’s been transferred from another channel and is expected to deliver some high-energy action that fits quite well with the spirit that “Phineas and Ferb” had in terms of adventure.

Replacing “Gravity Falls”: “Legends of Chima” will fill this slot. While different in tone and style, “Legends of Chima” offers a complex mythos and adventurous spirit that could appeal to fans of the mysteries of “Gravity Falls.”

Reply by ToonFan4Ever:
“Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu” and “Legends of Chima” are interesting picks. “Ninjago” has a solid fan base already, so it might be a safe bet. “Chima,” though, wasn’t on my radar as a successor to “Gravity Falls”. Curious to see if it captures a similar audience.

Reply by NostalgiaNerd:
Both “Ninjago” and “Chima” seem to be more action-oriented, compared to the adventure-comedy blend that “Phineas and Ferb” and “Gravity Falls” offered. I’ll miss the wit and ingenuity of the original shows, but I’m willing to give these replacements a shot.

Reply by JetixJunkie:
It’s a bummer that “Gravity Falls” is out—I loved its unique charm. “Legends of Chima” has big shoes to fill, but it could be good for younger viewers who enjoy extensive world-building. As for “Ninjago,” my little brother loves it, so it might just be the right kind of energy to replace “Phineas and Ferb.”

Reply by DisneyDramaQueen:
Replacing such unique and character-driven shows with purely action-themed ones is risky. Personally, I think the humorous and clever essence of “Phineab and Ferb” might be missed. Hope “Ninjago” and “Chima” bring something special to the table!

Reply by DisneyDude101:
Definitely, the shifts reflect a stronger push towards action-adventure rather than the eclectic mix we had. It’s going to be fascinating to see how these changes play with the Jetix audience. Let’s keep an eye on the rollout and viewer reactions!
Write a follow up where they backtrack and put slightly more close to home shows in that slot (another humorous cartoon in P&F’s slot) and GF is replaced with another, slightly similar show, Both of which are part of the "Arriving 7", Both are returning from Jetix OG though
