Dragon Club

Dragon Club (Chinese: 小神龙俱乐部 (Little Dragon Club) was a daily Chinese children's programming strand produced and operated by Disney Media Distribution that aired on syndicated television stations across China. The block was originally launched as a venture between ABC Distribution Company and its subsidiary DIC Entertainment before the Disney buyout of Capital Cities/ABC and the block then became Disney branded and focused.
==History==
Dragon Club launched on September 19, 1994. The block was created as a way for DIC and ABC's limited partnerships DIC Entertainment, L.P. and DIC Productions, L.P. to supply animated programming to the Chinese market. At its key, Dragon Club aired in a prime time slot on over 40 syndicated television stations across China.
The block continued on and became a Disney block after the Capital Cities/ABC purchase in 1996, and began airing Disney cartoons.
In 2002, another Chinese Disney block - Disney Animation World, merged into Dragon Club.
The block silently ended on January 1, 2019, for unknown reasons.
==Panda Club==
A sister block - Panda Club (Chinese: 熊猫俱乐部), was launched on October 2, 1994, and had a somewhat similar range of programming as its sister block, mostly focusing on DIC cartoons before later switching to Disney shows.
Very little is known about this block and it only shown on four syndicated channels across China before ceasing broadcast in 1999.
==Programming==
The block originally launched with a mixture of DIC Entertainment cartoons and other acquired faire, and after Disney took over broadcast Disney programmes were added in addition to local Chinese animated shows and live-action.
After the 2006 primetime foreign cartoon ban in the country was put into place on September 1st, the block exclusively became local animated programmes and foreign live-action series which were not affected by the ban.
