Ah yes, I remember this intro to Disney movies on CBC as a kid growing up in the 1980's. Such happy memories, the world seemed more magical back then.

Damn I miss these days

I knew this intro existed! I was starting to think I imagined it! lol!

Back then, Disney could do no wrong. God bless 1980's innocence & those graphics!

Where the hell did my childhood go? Please take me back!

Now you can do all of those things on your phone!

I still get goose bumpy with this opening. Between ABC, NBC, and The Disney Channel I miss this opening soooooooo much.

I just had to comment this video again, when those synth drums kick in I still have goosebumps, I miss those times when Disney was really magical, kids these days are really missing out, how can some people hate the 80's? It was my favourite decade!

Seeing John Candy bean himself in the racquetball court scene from "Splash" is one of my most enduring memories of this series of opening montages.

A time when you need only to hear this from the other side of the house and run jump into the couch for a warm cozy Sunday night.

OMG I miss this so much. My favorite disney intro!

Classic, Iconic, and Legendary! It just rocks - enough said.

That brings back the good memories of my childhood

One of my all-time favorite Disney intro:-) 2/18/23

As someone who is a sucker for intros, opens, bumpers, outros, and similar video segments, on behalf of my generation, I thank you for your service to the art of intro creation.

I miss the year 1986.

The nostalgia with this is so overwhelming it's almost palpable. I was around kindergarten age, and can vividly remember watching this with my family Sunday nights on the pull out couch.... the memory seems like a completely different reality altogether after all these years.

YEAH! I love this 80's Disney intro! Man! I wish that they would still advertise it on TV today.

In Poland it was broadcast in the 90's lol but as "Walt Disney presents" block and with different shots of movies

Geez, I wasn't alive yet during the 1980s and yet I still got a nostalgic tear at this. Then again I love 1980s nostalgia as much as I love 1990s nostalgia so....

wow! i remember this, my mom recorded Alice and wonderland sometime in 1988 and it had this intro in it... the tune always gets stuck in my head, even 29 years later. lol!

I remember those days. every Sunday night on ABC.

I never knew this intro existed but the version of When You Wish a Upon a Star I also heard from the NBC & Disney Channel intro for The Magical World of Disney. Either way I get emotional whenever I hear this track.

That tune always made me feel emotional.

Been forever since I heard this. Always brings back memories of my childhood. The ones I saw was a bit different though since I was only 2 in 1986.

Every Sunday night was Disney and homemade pizza. Miss those times.

Being an 80's kid, I grew up on this. This was Disney's Golden Age. This age up to the early 90's was what defined Disney. These shows along with Care Bears, Mother Goose's Rockin Rhymes, Dumbo's Circus, The Cat from Outer Space, the Not Quite Human film series, Gary Owens & Eric Boardman's Dinosaur specials, and even DTV. Nowadays, it's all about kids-pop music, kid-soaps, and other stupid senseless bullshit. The only good that came out of it was George Tekai's guest appearance on the space episode of Sweet Life on Deck, and the original Zenon & Halloweentown High (they're the only two modern Disney films series I can tolerate). Everything else sucks. T__T;

@80sCommercialVault

Disney did *not* really have a close relationship with ABC back then and The Disney Sunday Movie was the first association between the two companies in 25 years. ABC did air the original Disneyland TV show from 1954-61, but Walt left them for NBC because they weren't broadcasting in color. NBC aired Disney programming for the next 20 years. Even this association in 1986 was tentative, as ABC cancelled it in 1988 and Disney moved back to NBC for the next two years.

@@80sCommercialVault Wow. I had no idea Murder, She Wrote was so popular. My parents never watched it so I never think about it much. I know 60 Minutes was popular but I thought the Disney Sunday movie was on after 60 Minutes ended, I was 6-8 years old at the time so my memory probably isn’t the most reliable. Jaguargator9 did a video about the first time ABC tried to make Sunday Night Football in the late 70’s and it was a ratings disaster because they couldn’t compete with 60 Minutes and All in the Family.

@cbsteffen NBC had "The Magical World Of Disney", which used the same music and some of the visuals.

The death of Frank Wells was definitely a blow to the Walt Disney company, specifically to the the Theme Park division. He will be missed. You can keep Eisner and Katzenberg though. Eisner transformed a perfectly good parking lot at Disneyland into an empty amusement park, and axed the traditional animation department at Disney. Katzenberg is responsible for all of those Dreamworks CG disasters that give me nightmares. Eisner & Katzenberg defined the term "corporate meddling".

I remember this like it was yesterday! I cried a little...

We're looking at YOUR work here!? God, you are a master of your craft! Wherever you are today, if you left, you should come back and show the new generation how it's done. I LOVED this as a kid! Thank you very much!!

The current Disney Channel rarely shows anything remotely "Disney". The real reason why things like the Disney Sunday Movie don't exist anymore is that cable channels like Disney and Nickelodeon took away a huge slice of the demographic pie, and the networks decided that programming aimed at children just wasn't profitable enough anymore. The result? No more family friendly cartoons on primetime (Except for the stalwart holiday specials) and no Saturday Morning Cartoons.

This bring smile to my old fat cynical face. Damn it, disney!

I didn't realize that about Jittlov. I'm glad he got "discovered" so to speak. He was an inspiration to me.

I agree! High School Musical and such are ok but kids need to know what being a disney kid is, which is to watch the classics!

This was the best of the intros!

And yet, you and a handful of people like yourself managed to pull it off. Congratulations.

i remember,yes i do :D omg,it was so long time ago...i watched it every sunday :))) THANK YOU for posting it...my childhood is right next to me :)

I have always loved the part with the cameraman letting viewers peer into the movie camera... I desperatly love and miss the 80's! If I recall there was a disney sunday movie every sunday night on channel 3,5,or 9..a time for kids and parents to settle in and watch a wholesome movie that was non-objectional. It was from like 7-8:30, or 7-9,,and then it was bed time for school for us kids!

the best of all the intros

Yeah, Disney is notorious for being stingy with their releases of classic films and shows. And when they end up DO releasing them, it's in VERY small amounts so when you eventually find them they go for 2 to 3 times what they were priced at originally. Case in point: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh and the Guy Williams Zorro series, both of which are super expensive now to get on DVD but weren't when they first released.

A lot of people don't realize that the main reason Disney HAS sank was due to the death of one of their main creative overseers. Frank Wells and Jeff Katzenberg came on board with Michael Eisner in 1984 and the three of them spearheaded creative efforts for years - they are the ones responsible for the amazing things we got out of Disney from the late 80s/early 90s.

@mattjnor98 His point is that the Disney Company is now a purely profit-driven enterprise and no longer considers taking risks or breaking creative ground like it once did. Walt Disney was a capitalist, but prided himself in constantly making gambles and putting creativity before profit. Also, I personally think Disney has created very little of value in the last 15-20 years. The problem is more systemic than the garbage they program on the Disney Channel.
