- Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+: “The show’s humor and relatable stories are as relevant with audiences today as ever. Our audiences have loved rediscovering their favorite episodes of The Proud Family, and we’re excited Bruce, Ralph, Calvin, and the returning cast are creating new stories for their new home on Disney+.”
- Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide: "The genius of the original The Proud Family series was that, under the guise of a family comedy, it provided a brilliant social commentary on our life and times.
