Disney Classic channel idea

Anyone else think we need a Boomerang-style channel for Disney animation? It could be called Disney Classic or Disney Retro

The morning could consist of shows skewed towards younger audiences from the 90s (like The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Jungle Cubs, Recess, even Lilo & Stitch the Series, etc...) that aren't sometimes too childish like a lot of Disney Junior stuff. Then the afternoon would of course be ruled by tons of Disney Afternoon programming, the later, the more darker tone, start off the day with DuckTales, TaleSpin, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, transistion towards Mighty Ducks, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, etc... Retro, old school Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse & Pluto cartoons could be the late night programming. No live action, and the most recent animation on there should be Kim Possible, Dave the Barbarian & American Dragon: Jake Long, nothing more recent than that stuff.

Other shows...
House of Mouse
Quack Pack
Goof Troop
Aladdin
Hercules
The Little Mermaid
Timon & Pumbaa
The Legend of Tarzan
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
Bonkers
Pepper Ann
Gummi Bears
Fillmore
Lloyd in Space
The Proud Family
Teacher's Pet
Disney's Doug

etc...

They could show a different animated movie every weekend on Saturday nights & Sunday nights, as long as it's animated any Disney movie would be eligible (Walt Disney Animation, DisneyToon, Pixar, etc...).

-I know Toon Disney used to do something similar, but Disney XD has becoming more of a tween focused live action/animated hybrid channel. A channel catered to 90's fans would be great and would be an awesome way to introduce an entire generation of great programming to a whole new audience.
-As for 90s-00s live action comedy shows, I'd love to see Disney XD introduce a late night block of reruns for shows like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, etc... I think it'd be the perfect spot for them.

@SketchFox7, that would be a great idea. I'm glad to see you included Gummi Bears in your list. Although I'm not familiar with all the shows you mentioned, other than knowing their names, I think you picked some great ones that should be brought back. I say don't stop at the 80s and 90s but include some real classic stuff as well.

If they do this, I hope every old Marvel Animated series gets shown on this!

@tabaer- Yeah, I'd want House of Mouse in the afternoon, which plays a mix of older shorts and recent one, plus has it's own story on top of that. Then the late night stuff, like 1am-5am could play retro cartoons going as far back a Steamboat Willie even!!!

@SugarGuyWrecker- That's actually a great idea! they could have a dedicated Marvel block somewhere on the schedule. 90's X-Men & Spider-Man were great, I love Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends too.

What if they reran X-Men : Evolution and Spider Man : The Animated Series as part of a Marvel Early 2000s block

Oh X-Men: Evolution would be awesome, I miss that show and there is only very little episodes on Netflix, so that'd be great!

I like the idea. I would take it a step further. I like the WWE Network idea. What if they were to give access to the family of three stations and access to the entire vault. If they were to charge between $9.99 and $14.99, I'd be willing to pay for that all day.
