Also included were nature and animal programs similar to the True-Life Adventures released in theatres, as well as various dramatic installments which were either one part or two, but sometimes more. In early 2017, it was announced that the series would premiere The Little Mermaid Live!, a live-action/animation hybrid adaptation of the 1989 musical classic. [2] It aired on November 5, 2019.

Theatrical films were also shown, but with the advent of cable television and home video, they were not as popular. The 1997 revival followed this format as well, with rare exceptions. A miniseries entitled Little House on the Prairie ran for several weeks under the TWWOD banner. Incidentally, one offering in this ABC revival, the 1965 theatrical film version of The Sound of Music (aired generally during Christmas time), was actually released by 20th Century Fox, not Walt Disney Pictures, although it was allowed to air under the "Wonderful World of Disney" banner. Films from the Harry Potter series also occasionally aired under the banner even though they were released by Warner Bros. Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. From 1979 to 1981, " Disney's Wonderful World", a disco-styled theme was written to emphasize the new visual changes, even though the format remained the same. This song was written by John Debney and John Klawitter.

All of the episodes from are listed in the 1997 book The Wonderful World of Disney Television: A Complete History by Bill Cotter. From June to August 2007, a dreamy, remix of "When You Wish Upon a Star" and a brand-new opening title sequence (to promote the new Disney.com) are used for ABC airings in the United States. This theme is short-lived until the new intro came. Sadly, books/reading are almost a thing of the past as everything is available on the Internet so even home-schooling has very little use for books like this.

From 1983 to 1986, an orchestral medley of "When You Wish Upon a Star" and songs from several Disney movies was used as the theme song. This format remained basically unchanged through the 1980s, though new material, as discussed earlier, was scarce in later years. From 2007 to 2008, another orchestral arrangement of "When You Wish Upon a Star" (in actuality, the theme from the current Walt Disney Pictures logo composed by Mark Mancina) and a brand-new opening title sequence (depicting a montage of the company's work) are used for ABC airings in the United States. In 1995, an light, orchestral arrangement of "A Whole New World" (used in the movie Aladdin) was used.

September 2004 – September 2005: Saturday, 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. (or until 10:00 p.m., depending on the length of the movie) From 1981 to 1983, " Walt Disney", a short disco arrangement of "When You Wish Upon a Star", arranged by Frank Gari, served as theme against some elaborate, then-state-of-the-art computer graphics. CBC Television in Canada also used this title sequence and theme music for their own versions of the show. The sequence was also used as the opening sequence on international Walt Disney Home Video releases until 1987. urn:oclc:778972219 Scandate 20100602170507 Scanner scribe18.sfdowntown.archive.org Scanningcenter sfdowntown Worldcat (source edition)
