Background

On September 14, 2002, Disney's One Saturday Morning was renamed to ABC Kids. The block came to an end on August 27, 2011, and was replaced the following Saturday by Litton's Weekend Adventure.

1st Ident (September 14, 2002-September 2, 2006)


Visuals: Each ID is set in a stadium, with some cheerleaders and various characters from ABC Kids-broadcast shows (usually those from Disney Channel) doing an event that leads to the ABC Kids logo (a blue ABC logo with "Kids in red with a white outline) being revealed. The ABC logo interacts with the people in most .

Variants: Many were made, including the following descried below:

  • A cheerleader backflips, then the screen cuts to some more cheerleaders holding up their proms and a close-up of a crowd cheering. A billboard with the ABC Kids logo is seen in the next shot, with another cheerleader twirling. Two more cheerleaders on the stadium field hold up their proms. The ABC Kids logo is seen on the stadium field as the camera zooms in on it.
  • Kim Possible's boyfriend, Ron Stoppable, spots her on a chair with a parachute attached to it. Then, a ball with the ABC logo on it is thrown to Raven from That's So Raven. After a clip from Lizzie McGuire is shown, Suga Mama Proud from The Proud Family throws another ball that reads "ABC" towards Oscar Proud, who spreads his legs to allow the ball to pass through it. Penny Proud tells Oscar to watch out for the ball and it hits him in the back. A boy is seen hitting a ball with his bat before teleporting to catch it. The ABC Kids logo is seen, with the logos of the shows that aired on the block surrounding it and flying away.

Technique: Primarily CGI, traditional animation, and live-action, with chroma-keying technology.

Audio: Usually a hip-hop tune with cartoon sound effects and an audience cheering. An announcer may also say something, with examples shown below:

  • "We'll be back with more Power Rangers Wild Force on ABC Kids!"
  • "Power Rangers Dino Thunder is back on ABC Kids!"
  • "Ooh! We'll be right back on ABC Kids!"
  • "We'll be right back on ABC Kids!"
