New Disney is the 2000's era. On Disney Channel, just as a show is about to end its run, they come in with a new show ready to start its course. This generation's Disney Channel are mostly shows that don't teach life lessons and are mainly consumed in focusing on the popularity of the main characters. Disney Channel showed children how to overcome the social norms and to be your own individual. On a show called "Austin and Ally" one of the main characters represent a lazy girl that always quits her jobs whenever she doesn't feel like doing what her boss is asking of her. That doesn't teach valuable lessons to 7-12 year old that learn from the things that they view everyday. 

New Generation Disney Channel shows also try too hard. The humor created is not appealing to a family, only young children. The shows now aren't family shows. Family shows are shows that every one in a household can sit down and watch and actually relate to everything being broadcast on the screen. The current shows playing now are being set to only the minds of the younger generation of children. This has made Disney Channel's ratings drop. Disney Channel was once not only an way for kids to relax after school or weekends, but also an easy way for them to obtain entertainment while learning basic everyday life skills. 

For 90's babies, Disney Channel is a television network that they grew up on. From That' So Raven to Even Stephens, it was a channel that you could always go to for laughter and enjoyment. This time period is known to us now as "Old Disney" because of all of the changes that has been made to Disney Channel like the canceling of these shows and the changing of how Disney Channel is set up. "Old Disney" was family based and had t.v shows very relatable. Mostly all of the shows had families on them with different races like African-American, Hawaiian, Chinese, and Caucasian. This Disney taught life lessons and wasn't just there to make jokes for the little kids to laugh at. Parents, kids, and teenagers all could find entertainment from these past shows. For example, on "That's So Raven", one episode talked about discrimination where they felt that we were not be treated equally. Also, when the school was serving unhealthy meal options. That was an episode on health and fitness being important for everyone. "Lizzie McGuire" showed kids that despite peer pressure and dealing with high school, you can come out victorious if you stay true to yourself. To an extent, New Disney can't compare to some of the characteristics of Old Disney.
