Do you remember those lovely ads by Disney Channel that used to be there in the start of the last century?

A Deeper Dive into the Disney Channel’s Wand ID Commercials: The process goes from pre-production through to post-production, and there is always a story behind the scenes and beyond.
Disney Channel struggled in the ’90s to determine its niche market while competing against brands like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon who were on the ball if not ahead. However, taking that idea further, the fact that Disney adopted a targeted approach, indicating that the chosen demographic was “universal”, was noteworthy. Disney Channel, founded on the premise of being the entertainment channel for families and kids, not meant for everyone, was what Mr. Richard Ross, Disney Channel president, stressed.
And so, brand and marketing VPs Eleo Hensleigh and Andrea Taylor strove ahead with this comprehensive endeavor. The channel’s branding, on the other hand, had a makeover, whereby Michel (a black-and-white mouse from the Mouse island) was featured on the logo placed on the bottom left corner of the screen. This was a mechanical basis for a huge amount of creative animations and graphics.
It is a no brainer that Disney Channel’s the commercials for Wizards of Waverly Place developed by Taylor, have proven to be crucial part in boosting the love Disney Channel has on the original owners of the channel. These spots brilliantly emphasized not only the channel identification, but also made viewers feel more empathetic. Through all these, it is apparent that the Wand IDs remain to be an enchantment even after two decades not because of Penny Proud’s act but rather is the result from Kyla Pratt’s magic present in the “The Proud Family.”
Kids have always been the ones to approach me, enthusiastically mimicking the hand gestures just so they could smite the villain, and then try to create the same magical moment just by saying, “Mickey, Mouse” ears,” before finally add the earrings as the final step.
