"I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company" -- Walt Disney

First off, this is not a campaign to change the current Disney Channel. Rather, it's a campaign to get a new Disney Channel, a new station, on television. Why, you might ask?

The Disney Channel is ignoring the very principles Disney was founded under and is spitting on the Disney name as a whole. If certain areas in this
company ignore their principles, they stop the Disney name from flourishing.

Disney is not just a company, but also a man. Walt Disney was a pioneer whose philosophy for the Disney Company was always to entice people to enjoy
all of his masterpieces by providing nothing but "high quality family entertainment." The company he built currently preaches about family, yet
at the same time ignores the very aspects and principles of family entertainment upon which they were built.

After all, "this" is where Disney came from; "this" is where Disney was more of a magical legacy than a generic brand name, such as Nickelodeon or MTV. When the Disney Channel began to ignore these ideals, they helped to stop the Disney name from
flourishing into what it was destined to be and what Walt always meant it to be.

"That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old. They
patronize; they treat children as inferiors. I won't do that. I'll temper a story, yes. But I won't play down, and I won't patronize" -- Walt Disney

Through the "old" Disney Channel, people of all ages were introduced to wonderful old movies. It was on Disney that many first saw a lot of the
Disney classics as well as Hollywood classics like the musicals of Rogers and Hammerstein. It used to be programming that parents and children could
watch together. At least the Disney Channel had Vault Disney; that us until 2002, when all "classic" Disney was phased off the air. Why wouldn't today's generation like Old Yeller, Davy Crockett, Five Mile Creek, Mickey Mouse Club, Zorro, Spin & Marty, Walt Disney World Inside Out, Dumbo's Circus, Pooh Corner, White Fang, Iron Will, Flight of the Navigator, Tron, Disney's nature specials, etc? This is where Disney came from; films and programs like these are true family classics; and they deserve to be showcased on television!

"You’re dead if you aim only for kids" -- Walt Disney

Now the only group the channel plays to is the 12 and under crowd. Disney is about family and once this channel was for family. Now it's a commercial
filled, mostly un-watchable channel. One might as well watch Nickelodeon or MTV.

There could have been installed just a few shows that would be popular with the young crowd, but instead the entire channel has been converted to a
preteen/preschool dreamland.

"I do not make films primarily for children" -- Walt Disney

Many children today who end up watching the older classics on DVD actually do like them. They like them very much, in fact. The problem, though, is
that their parents are the ones who actually want the discs, and as a result these kids wouldn‘t even see these movies if it weren't for them (the
parents). By deciding not to air the old films and television specials, the current company is not giving them more of a chance with a younger
generation; a generation that deserves to know the history, the legacy, and the beauty of Walt Disney and his vision.

"The important thing is the family. If you can keep the family together -- and that’s the backbone of our whole business, catering to families --
that's what we hope to do" -- Walt Disney

Help start up a Vault Disney or Disney Family Channel and put family programming there. What is the harm of mixing in classic Disney films and TV
shows, for current and future generations to enjoy, with great non-Disney family fare? The very building blocks of this great company: its morals, its principals, its values are shown in these timeless treasures. The next generation deserves to know who Walt Disney was. He is certainly one of the most beloved men of all time. Everyone deserves to know what he stood for. And we deserve to tell them.

Please sign this petition, which is the third in our campaign. There have been well over 400 gathered on the first two.
