Disney is starting up a new channel aimed at the pre-school crowd with hopes to get shows based on Marvel characters on it.

Dubbed Disney Jr it'll first be shown in the mornings on regular Disney channel before replacing Soapnet (wait what?) with it.

No word on what marvel characters will show up but Daisy and Minnie are getting a Lavern & Shirley meets Fawlty Towers type show (this is for pre-schoolers?). As well as a show called "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" (young Capt Hook), and Little Princesses (which appears to be a showcase to introduce new princess characters with some originals showing up as teachers at a school.)

Disney Junior will be rolled out for a few morning hours a day in 2011 during the Playhouse Disney slot on Disney Channel. And in 2012, Disney will convert its sleepy Soapnet channel over to Disney Junior full-time.

Guess that makes Mickey & Donald Lenny & Squiggy (LOL).

I think the girls are running a small hotel, similar to Newhart or Petticoat Junction (Shady Rest Hotel). If it's like Petticoat Junction, any plans for Goofy & Clarabelle Cow doing Green Acres?

The kids can call it DisJu.

Why would they put Marvel based shows on there? That makes no sense. They should be in action series for older boys not Blue's Clues.

Why are we even discussing shows for pre-schoolers here? It's embarassing.

Meh, I could care less about it. It's just like Nick Jr. except it's the Disney version.
