Disney XD

Well, I have to give Disney XD some props. They showed the movie in a two-hour time slot, no cuts, and they even showed the end credits complete and unaltered, something the Cartoon Network never did. I still can't forgive CN for chopping up HOOPA AND THE CLASH OF AGES and squeezing it into a 90-minute time slot in December 2015. Also, unlike CN, Disney XD has been rebroadcasting the movie, giving those of us who missed it the first time (Dec. 5) a chance to catch it and not have to wait for the DVD.

Still, their marketing efforts have been lousy. I only discovered that the Pokémon franchise had moved to Disney XD quite by chance--and well after the movie had premiered on Dec. 5. I wish they'd simply advertised it on Cartoon Network during CN's regular showings of Pokémon The Series XYZ.
