Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Chicken Little Demands Pants Equality at the 78th Oscars!

Black tie, optional. Pants, apparently negotiable. The Oscars channel's only new upload revisits an animated presentation in which Abby Mallard asks why Disney's ducks keep getting left out of the wardrobe department.

In "Chicken Little Demands Pants Equality at the 78th Oscars!", Abby points to Mickey Mouse, Goofy and even Pinocchio as characters allowed proper clothing below the waist. Chicken Little responds by removing his shorts in solidarity, then hurriedly reconsiders when she reminds him the whole world is watching. It's an archive comedy sketch, with Zach Braff voicing Chicken Little and Joan Cusack voicing Abby, rather than a new appearance by the characters.

The upload drew a modest few thousand views. Elsewhere in the archive, animated presenters are finding a much larger audience: "Mickey Mouse Wasn't Ready to Present at the 75th Oscars!" has reached roughly 6.6 million views and carries the most daily momentum. Jennifer Garner's reminder about the teleprompter solves Mickey's frantic search for the nominees. Woody and Buzz's anniversary appearance also remains active, followed by Chris Rock's joke about Russell Crowe's commitment to period films.

Across the channel, weekly viewing came to about five million views, while subscribers held steady. Daily views are a little below their usual level. Among nearby entertainment channels, Peacock had a particularly substantial week, while Bravo collected a similar weekly audience to Oscars. Here, the distinctive thread is the ceremony's cartoon guests: even an envelope-reading assignment can become a wardrobe dispute.
