Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Its sad that they don't make good shows anymore. When I was young (early 2000's) that was all I watched, now the only thing I watch on Disney is good luck Charlie when I see that its on. The reason they don't make good ones anymore is because they need to be politically correct (because some people are overly sensitive and that will give them a reason to sue). Now they only make shows about how friends matter most, put your friends first, care about your friends, ect. I'm really sick of what Disney Chanel calls "Original Shows." They get almost all of their ideas from nickelodeon. It's a messed up world out there, and TV is only part of it.

The answer to "why did it happen" is that it's cheaper to manufacture a marketable appearance than to find and retain talented artists and writers.
Britney Spears isn't an alcoholic trailer park hick because she was physically beautiful and willing to trade her sexuality for obscene amounts of money. She has no talent at all, if you've ever heard her sing live and unprepared it sounds like something that would end up on the worst of American Idol. But some soundboard wizardry and sexy outfits and they had a sexual icon who sold platinum records to stupid teenagers without enough sense to be able to see the transparent shit that they were told was something they should like.
Take that and apply it to Miley Cyrus. Look at her behavior now. Disney trades on wholesome. That's what they sell, that's what their customers want, so that's what Hannah Montana was. People were all "Oh look she's so great, she's nice and respectable and proper" and they ascribed it to Miley, not to the character she was told to play for the camera.
Now we have the opposite, Miley Cyrus is just another Britney Spears, trading her sexuality for more money before she ages to the point that teens see her as old and she loses the jailbait appeal for everyone older than that, because once that's gone she's going to be nothing other than the once famous daughter of a has been singer.
Let's look back at the 80s. Music was made for adults. Movies were made for adults. Even the cartoons, I can still watch and laugh at Transformers and Thundercats. It was produced by talented artists, because that's what adults wanted.
The 90s was the discovery that advertising to adults is alot less effective than advertising to children. Children are young, impressionable, and lack the life experience or maturity to figure out and define what they want for themselves. Instead we have a constant bombardment of advertising so that by 13 years of age boys think they want to have sex with Britney Spears and girls think they want to be her. It's not until later in adulthood that these kids grow up and realize that Britney was probably a boring lay who is easily out-shined by non famous women who don't depend upon a marketed appearance to impress someone in bed and women realize that the way you look matters less to the people you actually care about in your life than who you are as a person.
And if you want to know who's really at fault? Our parents. Our parents stood by and watched this happen. They bought us Britney Spears and Jonas Brothers and Fallout Boy and Miley Cyrus merchandise, they paid for the concerts, they decided that it was easier to cave to the establishment than to teach their kids to have self respect and taste. Instead of organizing and refusing to accept society, they rolled over like a collective generation of lazy, self absorbed cowards. That's why our government is a mess and our freedoms are gone, that's why our media is shit and the music industry is foundering, that's why we have a massive epidemic of eating disorders as people accept the advertisement of body shapes that do not exist anywhere in nature.
There are two types of people who see an airbrushed magazine cover that represents nothing real about a person and think "that's beautiful"
Pathetic people and children who don't know any better. Our parents were pathetic, and we had to grow up before we could begin to learn any better.

I have to agree with you that the old Disney shows like snow white and Cinderella and fox and the hound were way better than the says that they show on T.V nowadays but I guess the reason why they stopping showing those type of shows on the Disney channel is because they didn't get enough ratings and kids today actually like the new shows on the Disney channel . I don't know why though .

I thought you might appreciate this Disney history video
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I looked for a video that takes you from Walts very start, much like presented in the short clip here all the way through today with his nephew Roy Disney narrating lots of it. It takes us through the successes, how many people were needed to pull it off before technology advances brought them to where they are today. I couldn't find it, sorry. Maybe if you do a search, you'll come up with if. It was at least 45 min long. It talked about Disneys slump in business. As cost of living and everything else rose, it became quite expensive to continue to put together their cartoon movies. Their 2nd slump was of course when computers came along and all of a sudden they had competition and some young artists instead of going to work for Disney went elsewhere like Pixar. Once upon a time, Disney was the only major employer of artists doing this kind of work, now every country is able to do their own animation movies if they want to. Technology makes it so much easier but then it also raises the expectancy of quality and not every artists ability is on par with what is needed today,nor are they up to the grueling amount of time that has to be put into these movies to keep up with demand for more, even with computer technology. Disney company has likely branched off in ways that Walt himself never imagined could be possible, and likely some productions that he wouldn't approve of. I believe Roy is retired now too in early 2000's and have no idea if any living relations of the original Walt Disney have any say or control of what the Disney Empire does today.
It is sad, but no one else can claim to be the first to do what he did. He is the grand daddy of all animated movies, and that is a wonderful legacy to have.

I'd have to agree that the classic Disney cartoons were great but the reason why they stopped making shows like that is because of modern times.
As we get older, everything changes. Most of the generation growing up likes shows like that.
It's with everything. A long time ago there were flip phones, now we have the iPhone. A long time ago we had classic video games, now we have more updated types of video games.

Because television networks try to adjust themselves on the intended viewers. They try to give the viewers what they think they want. And even though you may not like the programs, the generation growing up now actually does... Lord knows why because the shows they make now adays are terrible but it's all about supplying the customer's demands, man. and making theee mula
