'Nancy Drew' Contest The new 'Nancy Drew' Movie opens today, and one of the articles about the movie compared Nancy to KP: "Nancy Drew might seem like a hard sell to the tech-savvy girls of today. Written in a time before cell phones, computers and iPods, Nancy is a bit different from modern-day teen sleuths Veronica Mars and Kim Possible -- those crime-solving girls in low-rise pants, armed with high-tech toys and smart-mouthed sidekicks." Full article here: http://savedisneyshows.org/news/index.php?article=148 SDS is hosting a 'Nancy Drew' contest giveaway thing in association with Warner Brothers pictures.

Save Disney Shows Day Results The email totals from sdsmail.org have been posted on here on the forum. The KP fans where there, but what happened to everyone else? There are over a hundred people on this mailing list now, not counting the people who get it from a yahoo group, and yet no more than 35 people sent an email through sdsmail.org. Where is everyone? Anyway, we have more events coming up for all of our movements, so please make sure to participate in the next one! An opportunity not to be missed I would like to thank William Robinson for bringing this to my attention: A window of dialogue has opened..... This letter was published in the 5/21/07 issue of TV Guide: Aw, How Suite I'm so glad to see The Suite Life of Zack & Cody getting recognized [Family Page, 4/16]. Though it's on the Disney Channel, it can be enjoyed by all ages. --- Dave Carlson, Livonia, Mich. Now, this is a good thing because attention is being given to Disney Channel. A nod to Suite Life will make fans glad. Most importantly, the idea that Disney shows are family entertainment is highlighted.... But right now would be a nice time for Disney Channel fans to make their opinions heard by TV Guide. The floor is open to you... Animation fans? Tell them shows like Kim Possible are also great family entertainment. If you're grown up and love the animated shows, mention that as well. If you're sad to see programs like Lilo & Stitch end, it's a good time to mention that too.... The fans of other live action shows should speak up too. Phil of the Future fans can offer reasons why that show is family friendly, and that it shouldn't have been canceled. Suite Life fans could chime in, and agree with the letter writer's opinions. This is just a suggestion to use an opportunity. I'm not saying you should dump upon Suite Life, but merely let this magazine know what you feel about your favorite Disney Channel shows. If nothing else, it can show them you value their family focused programming. Letters TV Guide Radnor, PA 19088 letters@... Include your name, address and phone number.

Save W.I.T.C.H. Day #1 is May 15th, 2007! It's time to step up the save W.I.T.C.H. campaign. Our first Save W.I.T.C.H. Day #1 is May 15th. Visit http://savewitch.org/day.html for all the details. Save Phil Day #15 is May 21st, 2007! The Save Phil movement started with a bang in December 2005, and continued strongly through the summer of 2006. But participation fell off, and while more people join everyday, more give up each day. So the time has come to make a stand. Day 14 went well enough that is worth continuing the fight, but we desperately need everyone to participate. If we can't make have an event comparable to what we've done before, then we're just wasting our time. So let's prove the naysayers wrong and save this show now! Visit http://savepotf.org/day/ for all the details. Kim Possible Legacy Day #2 is June 7th, 2007. We kept Kim alive in 2005, but now is the time to secure her legacy for all time. KP's fourth season is amazing, but it will be over soon enough. If we want to see the show have any chance of continuing in any form (whether that be a fifth season or another movie) we have to start pushing for it now. Disney was ready to throw Kim away after what was supposed to be her last adventure (So the Drama) in 2005. The fans brought her back, but Disney's logic still needs changing. We want KP to live on forever, and that requires a strong episode base to draw from. Legacy Day #1 was a decent effort, but it's going to take more to get the show renewed again. Let's show Disney that the fans still care - a full five years after the premiere of the show! For more on KP Legacy Day / Save KP Day please visit SaveKP.com. Save Jake Day #3 - June 10th 2007 Our first Save Jake Long Day was a strong, and the second day was okay, but we need a big third day to happen. As we've learned from prior campaigns, the second and third events are the most important for setting the wheels in motion. We've compiled everything needed for this event on our website, here: http://savejakelong.com/day.html This concludes this edition of the SDS newsletter(s).

Contacting the Media I received in my inbox today, issue 101 of the TiVo Newsletter. The editor of this newsletter, Shanan discussed a new show that she found and liked, and ended her editorial with the question: "What are you watching?" Well, let's tell her about KP, Phil, AmDrag, etc. Disney owns a share of TiVo, but they should be independent enough that we might be able to get some good publicity. Send Shanan one email at: editor@.... While you're at it, you should send an email to Pluggedin@... and/or bya@.... Plugged In is a new fox news morning show that puts an emphasis on Internet related news. BYA (Because you asked) is another morning show that tries to answer good questions that aren't being answered elsewhere. If a sizable number of people sent one email (please, no more than one per day) we might have a decent chance. Three emails from everyone could big help for all the movements, but it has to be everyone for this to work. And remember, if you really get into it you can always use the media contact email program to reach more media outlets. Kim Possible Kim Possible Legacy Day #2 is June 7th, 2007.

     Hi, all--

     I just joined today. I'm a member of Save Kim Possible, and I happen to
enjoy
     W.i.t.c.h. as well (the comics more than the cartoon, though).

     I put a link to Save Disney Shows on the Kandrakar.com forum, so there
     may be some more people joining soon.

It was November 2005 when the renewal of Kim Possible was announced. Now, over a
year later, we know when the fourth season will start.

  At 8pm Eastern/Pacific on February 10th, Disney Channel will show four new
episodes of the series. They are:

  8:00 -- 401 -- Ill-Suited
  8:30 -- 404 -- The Big Job
  9:00 -- 403 -- Trading Faces
  9:30 -- 409 -- The Cupid Effect

  And on New Year’s Eve, Disney premiered the first promo for Season four. The
video is available for download from Kim Possible Fan World at this URL:
http://www.kpfanworld.com/video/commercial_1.mpg

  In the 15 second promo, Ron has a nightmare about his new relationship with
Kim.

  It's wonderful symbolism for Ron's nervousness. Kim was fooled by Eric in StD.
She thought he loved her, but he not only betrayed her, he was specifically
created to betray her. Ron knows that he cares about KP, but in the back of his
mind, he's worried that the "real KP" wouldn't like "a loser like him." He's
scared to death that this won't work out - as we all would be. And this
nightmare is a reflection of that fear. And that makes it a perfect teaser
because it shows us that their new relationship will be complex. It won't be a
two minute conversion to bunnies and roses.

One thing that caught my eye a few days ago on eBay was a W.I.T.C.H.
Gameboy game. Apparently, it was to be released in the US last
September, but Disney canned it before it was released. Here's the
amazon.com listing:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009ELZXS/ref=reg_hu-wl_item-
added/102-8532771-6951304

But, the game is available overseas, and that's why you can buy it on
eBay.

As one might expect, I'm really ticked off about this. They created
the game. They had planned to release it, and had a release date set
for it. But then they pulled the plug at the last minute. After
spending all that money in development, they would only pull it if
they thought it would sell extremely poorly.

And if they weren't willing to distribute a game that they had
already made, it looks like they aren't planning to renew the series
either.

We have to do something about this.

The senior vice president and general manager of Buena Vista Games is
Graham Hopper. You can write to him at this address:

500 S. Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521

The email addresses are unconfirmed, so please mail a copy of your
emails as well.

You can also call the main Disney switchboard at (818) 560-1000 and
the toll free number which is (800) 874-1687.

Additional Disney contact information is here:
http://help.savedisneyshows.org/

I'm happy that the fans were there for KP, but I can't believe that the
fans of all the other shows I've wanted to save can't seem to gather
enough support to get anything done. I refuse to lose W.I.T.C.H. next.
IF it's the last thing I do, we are going to save this show. But I need
your help, and the help of many more fans. I know there are a lot of
international fans, and we know those international fans were a big
part of KP's renewal. If we can reach enough people, we can do this.

A good place to start is to reach out to as many W.I.T.C.H. fansites as
possible. I don't know how "developed" the online fan base is, but I
hope someone here knows of places we can start.

There are 26 of us in this group right now, lets try and double our
membership in the next 30 days. If we can't make that goal, then we'll
know that we have to try something else.

After two weeks, our host has reinstated our account. Our Save Phil day on 9/21 and the additional bundled events including a Kim Possible day on 9/25 generated a lot of emails over several days. This put a lot of strain on the shared server, and that's why we were suspended. So we've had to remove the email programs for now. It's possible we may be able to get a limited version back up, but that won't be for a while if we ever do. On the plus side, everything else on the site is exactly like we left it. The regular forum is open again, and all the posts are still there. And the profiles are still messed up from when I was playing with it before the site was suspended. I'll be getting that fixed soon. As for fundraising, we still need your donations. The current plan expires in early November and we only have $53.92 available of the $80.64 we have raised so far. See http://savedisneyshows.org/donate.html for a breakdown of how much we've raised and what we've used so far. Also on that page is my mailing address for checks and money orders, and our paypal address. Hopefully we won't have anymore problems with the site for a long time, but whenever the site goes down again, we will be using http://g2i.us/sds/ again, so keep it bookmarked so you can find it whenever we need it. Once again, thanks everyone for your patience throughout this ordeal.

Subject: [Hilary Duff Fans] A Decade of Disney Channel

Here's an interesting article from the Hollywood Reporter about how
Disney has changed and become a success, since switching from a pay
cable channel in the mid-1990's. It's rather lengthy, but I think a
few people here will find it interesting.

Disney Channel a youth market creative force

By Kimberly Nordyke

When Disney Channel hit its adolescence in the mid-1990s, the cable
channel underwent an age-appropriate, top-to-bottom transformation.

After 13 years as a pay service, Disney Channel accelerated the
shift to the basic tier. Little kids were out as a primary target
audience; tweens and young families were in under the new regime
that arrived in 1996, led by former Nickelodeon and FX executives
Anne Sweeney and Rich Ross.


A decade later, against all odds and the fickleness of its 9-14
target demo, Disney Channel is on a tear. The push into live-action
original scripted programming has yielded a string of hits,
including its first to reach the 100-episode milestone, "That's So
Raven," and most recently, the "High School Musical" phenomenon. The
made-for-TV toe-tapper, which some have dubbed "Grease" for the
MySpace generation, exemplifies the Walt Disney Co.'s skill at
turning successful TV programs and their stars into cottage
industries extended far beyond the channel.

Industry insiders say the cable channel has become a leading
creative force for youth entertainment that has gone a long way
toward taking the Disney brand into the 21st century.

"I think what the channel does great in that they have found that
sweet spot where traditional Disney values meet MTV culture," says
Debra Martin Chase, executive producer of the Disney Channel movie
musical franchise "The Cheetah Girls," starring "Raven's" Raven-
Symone. "They do this in a way that is organically multicultural, in
a way that reflects what our society is today."

Businesswise, Disney Channel is a cable cash-cow for its parent
company, generating more than $700 million in revenue last year,
according to industry estimates. But perhaps more importantly, it
has taken off as a star-making platform for the young talent that
filters through its shows.

Shia LaBeouf was the star of the first live-action series to have
real traction, "Even Stevens"; in 2003 he starred in the successful
tween feature "Holes" for Disney and in last year's "The Greatest
Game Ever Played." Hilary Duff launched her multihyphenate career
on "Lizzie McGuire," and she had a highly successful telefilm
in "Cadet Kelly." More recently, the network is making stars out of
14-year-old twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who lead the cast of "The
Suite Life of Zack and Cody," and Miley Cyrus, daughter of country
singer Billy Ray Cyrus and star of the newly launched series "Hannah
Montana."

Disney Channel's growth during the past decade played a big part in
Sweeney's elevation two years ago to the top television post at
Disney, as Disney-ABC Television Group president and Media Networks
co-chairman. At the same time, Ross was promoted from head of
programming to president of Disney Channel Worldwide; more recently,
Disney said Monday that Ross also will now preside over the Radio
Disney Network, a 24/7 radio network devoted to kids, tweens and
families that will become part of the Disney-ABC Television Group.

Gary Marsh, Disney Channel Worldwide president of entertainment,
also has been a pivotal player in the channel's transformation.

Ross says he and Sweeney realized early on that Disney Channel
needed a new strategic focus with its shift from pay to basic tier.
While Nickelodeon was the 800-pound gorilla in the marketplace with
kids in the 2-11 age range, Ross saw a big void in programming aimed
at the slightly older kids that have long been a hard demo for
television to reach. The term "tween" wasn't yet a household phrase,
but Ross was confident that a new "kid-driven, family-inclusive"
strategy would be the right path for the new-model Disney Channel.

"There were not a lot of entertainment options (for the tween
demo)," Ross says. "We knew the way to get them was with live-action
programming."

It started with original movies that gave them enough traction to
move into live-action series with such shows as "The Famous Jett
Jackson" and "So Weird." But it was with the debut of "Even Stevens"
in 2000 that Disney Channel finally hit tween paydirt. That show
provided a lesson to Ross and Marsh of the importance of sticking
with an actor they believe in, even if it takes a few tries to find
the right vehicle for his or her talents.

"The ('Even Stevens') pilot tested terribly -- (LaBeouf's) character
was a depressed loner, and no one liked him," Marsh says. "But we
were convinced he was a star, so we redeveloped the show from
scratch as a comedy and picked it up straight to series."

Star quality is just one of the characteristics that Disney Channel
execs look for when they're casting a show. They're also looking for
a supportive family behind the child and always make it a point to
meet their families before casting them, which tells them a number
of things about the kids themselves, including whether they really
want to get into acting or are being pushed into it, Ross says.

In addition, "we're looking for kids who are able to not just nail
the part but also have the personality to transcend the role and
define the character," Marsh says, also noting that "Raven"
originally had a different title and star -- with Raven cast in the
sidekick role -- before being reworked so that Raven became the star
and the character's personalities were changed to better suit the
actress' personality and talents.

Ross and Marsh note that it's important for the families to be
included in the professional lives of their young star-in-the-
making. Sometimes, the actors' family members will even become part
of the cast. One example is "Hannah Montana," which also stars
Cyrus' father, who joined the series after she got her starring role
and the execs realized their father-daughter chemistry would be hard
to beat with another actor in his role.

The way the Disney Channel execs see it, the network serves as sort
of a talent incubator of young thespians for all divisions of the
Walt Disney Co. For example, Raven-Symone also voices a role on the
network's "Kim Possible," released a solo album on Disney's
Hollywood Records, has roles in "The Cheetah Girls" and its upcoming
sequel as well as in the company's feature film "The Princess
Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," recently signed an acting and
producing deal with Walt Disney Pictures and is a business partner
in a "Raven"-branded consumer products line.

In the case of "High School Musical," the telefilm's script has been
licensed for local student theater productions starting in the fall,
Disney Theatrical Prods. has a 90-minute stage production in
development for a regional tour and the movie and soundtrack already
are a hit in such international territories as Australia, with the
movie's debut across Europe set for September. In addition, the
stars all have other projects in the works -- not to mention
the "High School Musical" sequel, set to premiere next summer.

Michael Poryes, co-creator and executive producer of "Hannah
Montana" and "Raven," says the channel's selective approach to
development helps them focus on finding gems rather than volume.

"When they make a pilot, they really want it to go to series. ...
They really get on board and make a concerted effort for your
success, which is terrific," he says.

Fellow "Hannah" executive producer Steve Peterman adds that Disney
executives trust the judgment of their creatives -- citing the fact
that Miley Cyrus wasn't the most experienced actress who auditioned
for "Hannah" but the execs agreed to take a chance on her "because
we felt like there was something so special about her."

Marsh says the network's track record in fielding hits also has been
aided by sticking to a handful of overarching guidelines when
developing new series. For one, the show has to reflect the real
world that kids live in -- everything from the clothes they wear to
the music playing in the background. Shows must have comedic
elements, but story lines also need to offer its youthful viewers
some "navigational tools" for life, whether it's a practical matter
of dealing with a bully at school or a more philosophical message
about the importance of honesty and integrity.

Finally, Marsh says, Disney Channel shows must always present an
optimistic view of the world, appropriately enough, and the shows
must appeal to a range of viewers -- not just tweens but also
younger kids as well as the adults who might be watching with them.

Whatever the formula, it's working for Disney Channel around the
world. Among basic cable channels, Disney Channel has been No. 1 in
tweens in primetime in the U.S. since 2000, averaging a 4.3 rating
with the demo year-to-date.

"The channel has helped redefine what Disney means to the world.
It's a 24/7 reflection of Disney," Marsh says. "We're showing that
Disney can live in the real world as well."
