Disney Webs Up Spider-Man (Well, Spectacular Anyway...)

Marvel Toonzone reports that Spectacular Spider-Man has a new home for its upcoming season, and that home is Toon Disney. Although it won't be Toon Disney for long. As the story goes on to say:

The Toon Disney network, which is being rebranded Disney XD in February 2009 in an effort to capture the male market, will be the new home for The Spectacular Spider-Man in 2009. Reports leaked out earlier this week revealing where the critically-acclaimed series would be landing for a second season.

Disney XD? That's the best that someone at Marketing could come up with? That sounds like some pitch made out of the 90's. "We'll call it 'XD'. It should market well with the male crowd..." Not as well as X-Disney would, but then that might make your target audience quickly disappointed 18-35 year old males. But that's another story, and one that can easily be found on the internet with a little effort. Er, not that I'd know.

Anywho, the point was that that's where Spectacular Spider-Man will be, most likely this coming March. I know some people will be anxious because the old Disney channel has a history of editing some of their more action oriented titles, but hopefully their theme shift will include going a little easier on that. Not to mention that Spectacular shouldn't need that much editing, anyway. Guarded optimism, people. No need to panic just yet.
