This is my kind of commercials! Aired between the end of one of my favorite episodes of Zorro and before The Parent Trap. I’ve met Hayley Mills and her sister Juliet in person so I don’t think I even need to say how much I liked this!
The network at the time operated as a premium cable channel similar to HBO. It wasn't until 1997 that it switched to a basic cable format with commercial breaks inbetween films - and even then, the commercials weren't actual advertisements but rather promos for various Disney Channel programming and other Disney-related events (although before the switch to basic cable, there have been cable providers that have the network as part of their basic cable packages as far back as the early 1990s).
@@AndrewsMagicandMore Cool. If this movie didn't have the Buena Vista logo in the beginning, was the airing just like early US laserdisc releases where some scenes and dialogue cues were missing?

I wouldn’t have thought of them showing the whole movie from start to finish without a commercial break in the middle.

@@zeldafan1942 Yes, I believe it was.
@@AndrewsMagicandMore Do you also think they could have premiered the second movie immediately after airing the first one?
@@zeldafan1942The sequel's airing occured a few hours after the airing of the original film on that day, at 7:00pm eastern time.
