Disney XD

**Disney XD** is an American pay television channel owned by the Disney Branded Television and Disney Entertainment units of The Walt Disney Company. It is the replacement channel of Toon Disney since February 13, 2009, and is aimed primarily at older children ages six to eleven years old.

Phantomstrider finds Disney XD as his current favorite Disney channel, compared to the modern main channel. Not only did he find this to have the charm of early Disney Channel, but also have uniqueness in its shows that make it stand out. Apart from a few exceptions (like Two More Eggs & Pickle and Peanut), he finds that a lot of the Disney XD cartoons have this endless optimism that is so intense that it’s almost infectious, and he loves it. Whether it would be original cartoons (Yin Yang Yo!, Kick Buttowski, Motorcity, Penn Zero, etc.), Marvel cartoons (Ultimate Spider Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes & Assemble; etc.), cartoons based on Disney franchises (Tron: Uprising, The 7D, etc.), or cartoons that are shared with Disney Channel (Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder, etc.), Strider likes that Disney XD has the brightness and colorfulness he’s come to except when watching a Disney channel. Right now, we really don’t know about Strider's thoughts on the Disney XD sitcoms/live-action shows. While Strider says that he doesn’t like many of the modern Disney sitcoms, we have not seen any Disney XD sitcoms in his Worst Disney lists. We’ve only seen modern Disney Channel sitcoms (with only 2 early Disney Channel sitcoms Strider personally dislikes) during those lists, as Disney XD was not mentioned at all outside of their weakest cartoons. The answer of whether or not Strider likes the Disney XD sitcoms is currently unknown.

Regardless if Strider does find their teen sitcoms cringy or not, Strider appreciates that all of Disney XD's shows (whether good or bad) look not at the nihilistic empty side of life, but focus on brightening the perspective of all their viewers in a balanced and realistic way.

## His Favorite Disney XD Show

Phantomstrider considers Star vs. the Forces of Evil his favorite Disney XD show due to its clever humor, colorful visuals and likable main characters.

## His Least Favorite Disney XD Show

Phantomstrider's least favorite Disney XD show is Pickle and Peanut. He doesn’t like this cartoon because of its immensly lazy animation, teen pandering and gross-out humor. Strider does admit that even the worst of Disney XD isn’t as terrible as the absolute worst of Disney Channel (he’s talking to you, Hannah Montana), as he can at least kinda see it as a tacky/teen replacement of *SpongeBob*. Also, compared to most of the other worse modern cartoons from the 2010s, it’s not as bad (compared to the even worse modern 2010s cartoons that have less episodes), and there were only 42 episodes overall (compared to the even worse modern 2010s cartoons and especially Disney's worst show, Hannah Montana, that have more episodes), which means less episodes for Disney fans to witness the horror of.

Phantomstrider: (purified sarcasm) Oh no! I am out of footage! (trying to hide excitement) I guess we’ll have to move on! Yay!
(crowd cheers)

But like all of Disney's shows, Strider does appreciate that Pickle and Peanut looks not at the nihilistic empty side of life, but focus on brightening the perspective of all their viewers in a balanced and realistic way. That could also be why it was only #7 in Worst Modern Cartoons, as Strider then said "And that cannot be said for the later worst modern cartoons on this list."

## Lists Strider Includes Disney XD

* He made Best Gravity Falls Episodes, which shows his absolute favorite episodes of the Disney Channel/XD cartoon, *Gravity Falls*.
* *Two More Eggs* and *Pickle and Peanut* were #5 and #2, respectively, in Worst Disney Channel Shows, which is kind of funny since they are both from Disney XD and not Disney Channel. Strider was most likely making this as a list of his least favorite Disney shows in general, and these 2 are his least favorite Disney XD shows, as the rest of the list are correctly from Disney Channel.
* *Pickle and Peanut* was #7 in Worst Modern Cartoons.
* *Gravity Falls* and *Star vs. the Forces of Evil* made it to Best Modern Cartoons at #4, and #3 respectively. *Wander Over Yonder* made it as an honorable mention.
* *Wander Over Yonder*, *Gravity Falls* and *Star vs. the Forces of Evil* were #6, #2, and #1 respectively in Best Disney Channel Cartoons, which is interesting as these Disney XD cartoons are also from Disney Channel.
* "Weirdmageddon" from *Gravity Falls* made it to Spookiest Cartoon Episodes at #9.
