Disney's One Too was an American children's programming block that aired on UPN from September 6, 1999 to September 1, 2002. A spinoff of the Disney's One Saturday Morning block on ABC (owned by The Walt Disney Company), it featured animated series from Walt Disney Television Animation aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 14. The block aired on Sunday mornings and weekdays (either in the mornings or afternoons).
In Canada, the Disney's One Too block aired on Family Channel, a specialty channel that has long been associated with The Walt Disney Company due to its carriage of Disney-produced feature films and television series (and formerly served as the Canadian broadcaster of Disney Channel's original programming, replaced by a Canadian version of Disney Channel).
In January 1998, UPN began discussions with The Walt Disney Company (owner of rival network ABC) to have the company program a daily two-hour children's block for the network. However, attempts to reach a time-lease agreement deal with Disney were called off one week after negotiations started due to a dispute between Disney and UPN over how the block would be branded and the amount of E/I programming that Disney would provide for the block; UPN then entered into discussions with then-corporate sister Nickelodeon (both networks were owned by Viacom) to produce the new block. That February, UPN entered into an agreement with Saban Entertainment (which at the time was part-owner of Fox Family Worldwide, the parent subsidiary of Fox corporate parent News Corporation that produced competing block Fox Kids) – which distributed two series already seen on the UPN Kids block around that time, Sweet Valley High and Breaker High – to program the Sunday through Friday morning block.
