Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Disney Adventures was a magazine that started printing in 1990 by The Walt Disney Company. If you were a kid at any point between then and 2007 (when the magazine was canceled), you more than likely begged your parents to buy you at least one copy, because each issue featured a popular Disney character or Hollywood celebrity on its front cover.The magazine basically featured any standard story or article you'd find in, say, Entertainment Weekly, but written in a less formal manner and aimed at kids (there was a period where most of the articles were actually written by kids, for example).Perhaps the most memorable thing about Disney Adventures, though, were its comics in each issue, which were later consolidated into a single section, the Comic Zone, in 1995. During the early half of the 1990's, the magazine's comics were mainly based on Disney's currently-running animated properties, such as the shows on The Disney Afternoon programming block. Later on, however, the Comic Zone began to expand its horizon to running excerpts of other independent comic books, such as Bone, The Simpsons and Little Gloomy. Then, in 1997, the magazine ran its first original comic, The Adventures of D & A (described here on Platypus Comix), which opened the way for more original properties in the Comic Zone.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })During the One Saturday Morning era of Disney Television Animation, the Comic Zone gradually shifted its focus away from Disney's new animated television properties (some shows, like the Hercules series and Teacher's Pet ended up getting only one comic, while some like Teamo Supremo never got featured in comic form at all) and instead put it on original comics like Society of Horrors and Jet Pack Pets (although they would still occasionally feature a short comic based on one of the Disney Animated Canon films, particularly if there was a new video release coming for the film in question). From then on, whenever a Disney animated property did get a comic story, it was a rare occasion that the story would be longer than four pages.The magazine was suddenly canceled in 2007...two issues after it celebrated its 17th anniversary.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Notable comic and storylines published in this magazine include: Space Mickey And The Throgg Ray Wars - A 3-issue graphic novel storyline with painted art, featuring Mickey Mouse, well, IN SPACE! Unfortunately has never been reprinted. The Perils of Mickey - A 2-issue sequel to the "Blaggard Castle" storyline from the Mickey Mouse comic strip. The Legend of the Chaos God The Adventures of D & A Super Music Action Ready Team Disney's Tall Tales Gorilla GorillaAdditionally, Disney cartoons, films, and TV shows that got featured in comic form in the magazine: 101 Dalmatians Aladdin Bonkers A Bug's Life Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Darkwing Duck Dave the Barbarian Dinosaur Dinosaurs Doug DuckTales The Famous Jett Jackson Gargoyles Goof Troop The Great Mouse Detective Hercules The Hunchback of Notre Dame The Incredibles The Jungle Book Kim Possible Lilo & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch: The Series Lloyd in Space Marsupilami Meet the Robinsons The Mighty Ducks Mulan The Muppets (only one short in final issue; writer/artist Roger Langridge then went on to create The Muppet Show Comic Book) Nightmare Ned Pepper Ann Peter Pan Pirates of the Caribbean Pocahontas Power Rangers (2002-07, during Disney's ownership of the franchise) Quack Pack Recess The Replacements The Rocketeer Robin Hood Roger Rabbit The Schnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show Spy Kids TaleSpin Tarzan Teacher's Pet Timon & Pumbaa Toy Story W.I.T.C.H.

comment
Recursive Reality: The short Darkwing Duck comic titled "Cogito Ergo Something" has Launchpad holding up a dandelion and positing the existence of countless Recursive Realities to Darkwing. Sure enough, the perspective changes, and we see another world inside the dandelion seed where an alien Launchpad is presumably saying the same thing to an alien Darkwing about an alien flower. Then the perspective changes to inside the alien flower, and we see the "normal" world again (inside the inside), where Darkwing promptly blows the whole idea off as nonsense and blows the dandelion seeds to the wind.

comment
Early Installment Weirdness: Really, it depended on when you first started reading the magazine. However, the first official issuenote  There was a preview issue in Fall 1990 that laid out the original format and mainly featured a couple of DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin comics in particular was quite a bit different than what readers would see throughout the rest of The '90s. For starters, the magazine itself was billed as the "Official Publication of The Disney Afternoon." Zip Code and Ticket had threadbare layouts, there was a technology feature called "Cyber," an action section called "Impulse," and the puzzles section was called "Xoxxox."

Adaptation Distillation
 Disney Adventures (Magazine) / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: More often than not, the comics based on the TV shows were generally pretty good, but the comic adaptations of the Disney Animated Canon were shoehorned in quite a bit. (Here's an example, which reduces the "Colors of the Wind" sequence from Pocahontas to a mere two frames.) Their ''Donkey Kong 64' comic, in which King K. Rool's Kremling mooks look like miniature versions of K. Lumsy and the storyline bears very little resemblance to the game.

Animated Adaptation
 Disney Adventures (Magazine) / int_a68421bb
comment
Animated Adaptation: Actually, "Animated Adaptation Which Was Already Adapted From Animation". One of the Recess comics, "The Long Hot Recess" from 1998, was slightly re-made into an episode, "The Coolest Heatwave Ever", in 2001. Some elements of the plot were changed. One Pepper Ann comic about Pepper Ann attempting to gain access to her school's teacher's lounge was later adapted into an episode of Recess with TJ's gang attempting to do the same. The Recess episode even had the same twist ending.

Off-Model: In the comic adaptation of the first ten minutes of The Return Of Jafar, Abis Mal is completely clean shaven, which is completely at odds with his black goatee in the actual movie and on the animated series. One TaleSpin comic about a magic mirror had some truly horrendous coloring errors, including one that made Don Carnage's face bright magenta for the majority of the story.

One I Prepared Earlier: Parodied in a comic featuring Timon and Pumbaa. A fictional cooking show uses fake ones they prepared earlier. As it just so happens, the day they were doing pigs was the day that A) they forgot to put in the fake and B) the day Pumbaa climbed into the fake oven. With hilarious consequences.

Cross Through: 1994's The Legend of the Chaos God story arc linked the continuities of TaleSpin, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, DuckTales, and Darkwing Duck. The story focused on a god-like dragon sorcerer that was sealed in an ancient jewel trying to free himself by reuniting the jewel with its setting, a golden necklace. The story concluded with the Chaos God being freed and fighting Darkwing Duck.
