Disney Cinemagic is the movie service for the Disney Channel in the UK. It launched on March 16th 2006, and replaced the British version of Toon Disney, Disney Cinemagic is similar to the British version of Boomerang. It has a timeshift service called Disney Cinemagic +1 which as of 2006 is only available through Sky Digital. Disney Cinemagic is available on Sky Digital, Virgin Media and NTL. Cinemagic shows premieres of Disney movies every Sunday and includes regular screenings of Disney movies, typically three to four each day. Disney Cinemagic also shows The Archives Of Classic Disney Cartoons, Newer Disney Cartoons & Shorts as well as animated television series such as Disney's House of Mouse, The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa, Jungle Cubs, DuckTales and Lilo & Stitch: The Series. Unlike its counterparts, Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney, its movies are sometimes shown in their original aspect ratio though these are usually available only on Sky Digital. Notable exceptions are Tarzan II, The Trumpet of the Swan, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World and Bambi II, which have only been broadcast in fullscreen, and not their proper 16:9 ratio. Films in the 2:35 ratio, such as Lady and the Tramp, are cropped to 16:9, the only exception being The Incredibles. Cinemagic is slowly abandoning this process of showing 16:9 films in their original ratio, favouring prints in pan-and-scan due to the availability of widescreen on digital platforms.
Despite the name, Disney Cinemagic has no formal connection with CineMagic children's film festival based in Belfast, UK.
