Disney Channel

1st ID (1983-1986)
Nickname: "The Mickey Mouse Satellite"

ID: On a black space background, we see a satellite shaped like Mickey Mouse's head emerging from the left of the screen. As it moves to the right, a trail of blue stars follow behind the satellite, eventually covering the screen & fading to reveal The Disney Channel logo in teal with the words "THE DISNEY CHANNEL" in Handel Gothic emerging underneath & shining along with the logo itself.

Variants:


 * A slightly longer version exists with a violin stinger at the start, before the rest of the logo plays normally.
 * There's a short version which omits the part with the Mickey satellite and Jerry Bishop's voice at the end.
 * A Spanish version exists where the logo says "EL CANAL DISNEY" & has a different announcer. This version was only seen on Spanish versions of Disney Channel VHS tapes.

FX/SFX: The star trail following behind the satellite.

In the transition, the two girls look up, thinking it's snow, then the camera zooms out to see the girls pillow fighting inside the snowglobe, before going back to the original scene.
 * Dog Bath: We see a girl giving her dog a bath. After that, the dog shakes off the excess water, with bubbles on the screen that form the Mickey Mouse head shape. The girl is surprised and then walks up to her dog, as the bubbles form the logo with the Disney Channel text appearing from the left.

We see a POV of a train going on the tracks which then goes into a tunnel and when we go out, it turns into what appears to be a rollercoaster video game, with the tracks looking like what's seen on Vekoma/Arrow Dynamics rollercoasters. Some fruit can be seen on the tracks, which include strawberries, cherries, and bananas. As we go through another tunnel, we go out and see the tunnel-shaped with the Mickey Mouse head, and the Disney Channel text in white appears. The 4-note jingle is played from a train whistle.
 * Fish: As with the Train ID, this one was also done in CGI. A gold coin is dropped underwater. Various road signs are also seen in the underwater background. A whale shark tries to get the coin, only for a pufferfish to reach it, which causes the whale shark to chase the pufferfish and try to attack it. The camera then follows the whale shark and the pufferfish as we fly past a stop sign, accompanied by dramatic music, and the sounds of screaming and car horns honking. The whale shark then ends up eating the screen, and then it cuts to a boy wearing an orange hoodie, and he notices the pufferfish and walks away. The Mickey Mouse head shape is painted on a black brick sidewalk and the text in white fades in. The 4-note jingle is played from water drops.
 * Valentine's Day: It's a modified version of the "Pillow Fight" ID, with the transition colors being pink and hearts seen during the transition. This ident aired during Valentine's Day in 2008.
 * Thanksgiving: It's a modified version of the "TV Dinner" ID, with a turkey being seen flying through space during the transition.

 * Pepe says, "Hola! I'm Pepe, and you are watching Disney Channel, okay." Then Pepe draws the Disney Channel logo with the wand and laughs happily.
