ABC Kids is a three-hour block of animated cartoons and live-action children's television shows, broadcast on the ABC network in the U.S. and (until 2002) on the CTV network in Canada on Saturday mornings. It was initiated in 1997 as Disney's One Saturday Morning, taking on its current name in 2002.
It was created as a successor to the Disney Afternoon, and originally featured some of the shows that had been on it. A spin-off, Disney's One Too, aired in syndication every weekday in the afternoon.
