The beloved Disney animated show Phineas and Ferb returns with a new revival season, continuing the summer adventures of the titular characters and their sister's attempt to bust them.
Since the 1980s, Disney has produced a lot of animated shows that became childhood staples for Millennials and Gen Zs to this day. Some of them have even spawned a franchise with reboots, spinoffs, feature film versions, and other kinds of extensions.
In celebration of the release of the Phineas and Ferb revival, here are the five Disney animated shows we would love to see get revived.
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers continues to be one of the most beloved Disney animated shows in history, and it even led to an original Disney+ film in 2022 that served as a follow-up to the series.
It would be a great idea for Disney to revive the original animated series today, given how the characters of Chip and Dale continue to have an appeal to kids today, and more adventures that they can write surrounding them.
Recess
Recess is the kind of Disney animated show that would be interesting to get a revival treatment, considering how the school culture has significantly changed today since the original aired.
A new take on the series could incorporate the use of social media and how it has become a popular way of communication among students during recess time in schools.
Kim Possible
Kim Possible remains one of the most popular Disney animated shows. A live-action TV movie version was even released in 2019 on Disney Channel, 12 years after the original ended its run at that time.
Considering the massive popularity of the spy genre today in film and TV, it would make sense for Disney to revive Kim Possible today and reflect the current times and the advanced technology that could be available to the characters' disposal.
American Dragon: Jake Long
American Dragon: Jake Long lasted for only two seasons, but it made an impact among the audiences who watched when it was airing in the mid-2000s and is considered to be one of the childhood favorites.
There was so much potential that the series could have explored more if Disney had given them the chance to produce more seasons, which is why a revival is not a bad idea for them to consider. You may even argue that this would have been more popular today than the time it was released.
The Emperor's New School
The original The Emperor's New Groove movie has become the subject of many memes throughout the years, even though it is not usually in the list of all-time beloved Disney animated classics.
With the continuing popularity of the franchise, perhaps reviving The Emperor's New School could be a good idea for Disney to consider. They might also use it as an opportunity to address the criticisms of the original run surrounding the objectification of Malina and the lack of educational value.
