The Disney Club

"The Disney Club" is a fan-made crossover series based around the products of the Walt Disney Company. The series is meant to act as a love letter to practically everything Disney, from the movies to the cartoons to even the theme parks, as it follows a small group of friends as they explore the strange, mystical and often dangerous worlds that the Disney brand has to offer.

## Season 1

The first season of the show takes place over the course of summer, and focuses primarily on establishing the bonds between all of the main characters and them going on "quests" all around the world in search of adventure and to make every day count.

## Season 2

The second season takes the gang on probably their most daring quest yet, as a mysterious box sends them to worlds beyond - literally. Now split apart by who knows how many directions, the gang must piece themselves back together by hopping from world to world to find each other and survive the crazy worlds they throw themselves into.

## Christmas Special

A Christmas Special taking place inbetween Season 2 and 3.

Just as everyone's getting pumped up for Christmas with the latest additions to their group, tragedy strikes. But, maybe a rather... unorthodox X-Mas Eve might help.

## Season 3

TBA (*This season does not have a definitive plot just yet, but the basic idea so far is to make it a heroing quest about saving the world from a smorgasbord of classic Disney villains led by Maleficent, involving the Black Cauldron and some yet-unused properites, all culminating in a battle at Bald Mountain.)*

## Notes

The story's writing and tone is meant to be a cross between the storytelling of the movies from Walt's lifetime (particularly the Golden and Silver Ages) and the Renaissance era. To be more specific, the artistry seen in those films, aiming to mix the use of lighting, dark tones and, well, wonder/magic of the Golden and Silver Ages with the more complex stories and strong focus on characterization (particularly characters trying to figure out who they are & what they want out of life that have a large drive in the story) of the Renaissance films. It even takes some cues from Pixar's themes of Friendship and Self-Improvement.

The series is heavily inspired by two other Disney-related series':

* The first is the Ducktales 2017 reboot, with a large focus on the the spirit of adventure and the bonds/love shown between all of the characters. It also goes off of what that series did by crossing over with many Disney Afternoon shows & characters and applies that to the rest of the Disney pantheon.
* The second, and probably most obvious, inspiration is the Kingdom Hearts series. This is especially evident in the plot to Season two, wherein the gang go to all kinds of different Disney worlds, even going so far as to have some of the storylines for the episodes in said season being based off of their interpretations in KH. However, there are several differences between that franchise and this series. For one, all the characters featured in the series all originate from some type of Disney property, and while there are some references to other properties the company owns/used to own (like Power Rangers), they are the only ones that are represented in full in the series. Second, not every world the gang goes to is based off of a movie, as should be obvious by the use of many Disneyland/World/other parks' attractions. Added onto that, unlike KH, several of the featured movies' plots get tied into the main show's plot and several of their characters become mainstays in the main cast.

The "theming" for each of the show's three "seasons" can be separated by the themes of the parks at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Season 1 is something of a mix between Frontierland and Adventureland in it centering around, well, adventures involving pirates, old west-type locales and general treks through wild lands, with a hint of Animal Kingdom in how it places a good bit of attention on nature. Season 2 is sort of similar to Fantasyland, though really just in how it's the main "area" that focuses on stuff like the movies and TV shows. Season 3 takes lots of influence from Tomorrowland and Epcot by focusing around technology and the future and all that, though there's still a good bit of mystical/fantasy elements throughout.

While the series' title could be seen as a little too simplistic, it seems to work the best since the series revolves around the vast majority of Disney products. Also, the "Club" part of the title actually has two meanings, as it's a reference to the Mickey Mouse Club and it shows the club-like nature of the main cast (which one could also take as a nod to the Breakfast Club).

It should be stated up front that many of the products here - whether they be characters, story beats or even locations & items - are presented in differently from how they appear in their home movie, series, etc. If anything, this is sort of meant to how Walt and his team interpreted the stories they used in their films during the Golden Age; to paraphrase quotes from the "Inside Walt's Story Meetings" featurette from the Platinum Edition DVD of *Bambi* when bringing up the subject of the movie's original book, "it's sort of a symphony based off of the original stories, as if you follow a story point-for-point, you'll be handicapped throughout the storytelling process". So, while many plot points and character arcs featured in this story are retooled from the characters' various source material, they are by no means meant to be direct adaptations. This is just meant to be the writer's personal interpretation about how all of these products would interact if they crossed paths with each other. That said, it should be made perfectly clear that (the majority of) the shows, movies and other material presented in this series are great in their own right, and the writer fully supports the official material.

The main cast/gang in the series is mainly includes characters from some of Disney's most popular animated shows from the past decade (mainly Phineas and Ferb onwards) and several characters from the main Animated Canon (especially those made under Walt's supervision and the Renaissance era to reflect the influence the two eras have on this story) as a way to show a mix between two of the company's most celebrated divisions. The main idea behind the group is to sort of make them a next generation of groups like the Goonies and the kids from Stand by Me, or even the Ghostbusters - a close group of friends that are often seen as weird/eccentric but have a strong sense of adventure and love for the supernatural, mixed with a good amount of influence from adventure/quest-type stories like Indiana Jones and the Lord of the Rings.
