I wasn't a Disney Kid by any means. Never had any desire to go to their parks, but I didn't mind watching their shows or movies, though they often weren't my thing.
Probably the one I most loved was Darkwing Duck. Had a nice satirical flare and humour, and now that I think about it, I should take a peek at some episodes to see if it has held up. Others are Rescue Rangers, Ducktales and Talespin, you know, the usually 90s fare.
Gargoyles here in Canada was shoved off into Saturday morning, so I never got a chance to really watch it (like Exosquad) due to not being a morning person.
It was after my time, but catching bits of it here and there I think I would have enjoyed Recess as well. I always recall a bit where the nerdy kid talked to his military father about fighting bullies and the father told him about Belgium in World War I and the fight they put up. The kid brightened up and assumed the war ended with Belgium fighting off Germany in triumph only for his father to laugh and tell him Belgium got their ass handed to them.

Not one I necessarily hate, but one I found odd as a kid, and now find cringy recollecting, was Goof Troop. The concept of creating a family sitcom centered around Disney characters for
kids was a rather odd hybrid of 80s sentiments mixed with a lot of 90s cool thrown in.
Still, we got the intro for it, which was rather catchy (Though that was in a time in TV when often the best thing about many series were their intro and little else; see Baywatch).
Where Triton f-ked up though was that he never dealt with Ursula when he had the chance. Didn't he care that she had turned a good hundred of his people into pelops? I guess though the argument could be made that she wasn't doing anything wrong - she never hid the consequences of her magical contracts after all. ''Do this, this is the payment, this is the forfeit''. She never once lied.
The "father-figure who is willfully ignorant to the threat close to him" is a trope that is near literally timeless. Osiris is betrayed by his brother Set because Osiris refused to see the threat his brother posed, for instance.
Keeping on topic, it's the same with the Lion King and how odious Scar is, yet is kept around by Mufasa without any distance being made between the two which might have allowed the betrayal to not be as sudden.

I think we all can see the lewd joke in this, so I'll leave it to your imagination to make.
