The Proud Family is an American animated sitcom that ran on the Disney Channel, from September 21, 2001 to August 19, 2005.

Production

The Proud Family was created by Bruce W. Smith and was produced by Jambalaya Studios. Originally piloted for Nickelodeon, it was eventually picked up by the Disney Channel and started airing in September 2001. An original pilot was made but was never shown to the public.[2] Many of the later episodes of The Proud Family were produced using Adobe Flash.[3]

The series is the first Disney children's cartoon which did not premiere on network/over-the-air television, which had been done since 1984 when the Television Animation unit was started. It marked the first animated Disney Channel Original Series, and, incidentally, the only original animated series from Disney Channel not associated with, and to be produced exclusively by Disney's Television Animation arm.
