Disney Junior is a TV channel in Southeast Asia that used to be called Playhouse Disney. It's owned by The Walt Disney Company. This channel is mostly for kids aged 2 to 8 years old.

You can watch lots of fun shows on Disney Junior. These include new TV series, movies, and other popular kids' programs. Disney Junior also had a special time slot on its sister channel, Disney Channel, called "Disney Junior on Disney Channel." This special block of shows ended on July 31, 2018.

Disney Junior, along with Disney Channel and Disney XD, stopped broadcasting in Singapore on June 1, 2020. This happened on both Singtel and StarHub TV. The streaming service Disney+ was planned to launch in Singapore later.

On August 5, 2020, Disney Junior started broadcasting in high-definition (HD) quality on Astro in Malaysia because many people were watching it. However, on January 1, 2021, Disney Junior and its sister channels stopped broadcasting in Malaysia. This was because Astro decided not to renew their agreement with Disney. Instead, Astro added new kids' channels like Nick Jr. and Boomerang.
