''Disney Adventures'' was a magazine that started printing in 1990 by [[Creator/{{Disney}} 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.

* TheSmartGuy: The eponymous character from the Joe Rocket column, which was discontinued shortly after Tommi Lewis left, was a smart kid who had adventures each month with his friends, and answered science questions sent in by viewers.

* ''ComicBook/SpaceMickeyAndTheThroggRayWars'' - A 3-issue graphic novel storyline with painted art, featuring MickeyMouse, well, [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE!]] [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes Unfortunately has never been reprinted]].
* ''The Perils of Mickey'' - A 2-issue sequel to the "Blaggard Castle" storyline from the Mickey Mouse comic strip.

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 WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon programming block. Later on, however, the Comic Zone began to expand its horizon to running excerpts of other independent comic books, such as ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'', ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'', ''Dr. Watchstop'', and ''Little Gloomy''. Then, in 1997, the magazine ran its first original comic, ''The Adventures of D & A'' (described [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/otherpeople/worstcomixever/deeanday.html here]] on Website/PlatypusComix), which opened the way for more original properties in the Comic Zone.

* TheSmartGuy: Anyone else remember Joe Rocket?

* AdaptationDistillation: More often than not, the comics based on the TV shows were generally pretty good, but the comic adaptations of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon were shoehorned in quite a bit. ([[http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?p=3117221#post3117221 Here's an example]], which reduces the "Colors of the Wind" sequence from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'' to a mere two frames.)

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Really, it depended on when you first started reading the magazine. However, [[http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?229631-The-Disney-Adventures-Archive-Part-2&p=3250690#post3250690 the first official issue]][[note]] There was a preview issue in Fall 1990 that laid out the original format and mainly featured a couple of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' and ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' comics[[/note]] in particular was quite a bit different than what readers would see throughout the rest of TheNineties. For starters, the magazine itself was billed as the "Official Publication of WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon." 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."

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 ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' series and ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' ended up getting only one comic, while some like ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'' 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 Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon 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.

** In the comic adaptation of the first ten minutes of ''[[Disney/{{Aladdin}} 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.

* OneIPreparedEarlier: Parodied in a comic featuring [[Disney/TheLionKing 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.
