Is anyone familiar with the Nickelodeon Show, Double Dare? Is the show where players get to Dare to win that's filled with Spills and packed with Prizes.
As of current, there's 6 Incarnations of that show out there: = 1986 Original = Super Sloppy = Family (Both Fox & Nickelodeon) = Super Special = 2000 = 2018 Reboot
Double Dare all started on October 6, 1986 & changed the look of Children's TV which also coined the phrase: "Psychical Challenge".
The Psychical Challenges are what the players need to take if the players don't know the answer to a question. The part of the show that is well remembered is the Obstacle Course & its very exciting to see the Champion Team win all 8 prizes.
The classic incarnations of the show was first filmed at WHYY in Philadelphia, then in New York & lastly, Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida. Which means, if you were growing up in the 1990s & come to Universal Studios, you would get to see Double Dare and even audition to be on the show. Sometimes, they would see everyone in person by doing Road Shows.
There were plenty of show themes too, not just a Regular theme such as Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, 3D, Tributes and more.
There was one episode in Super Sloppy Double Dare, where the Host took on the Announcer as contestants on the show & the Host won the game. During the Obstacle Course, both the Host & Announcer gained a new perspective for what the contestants go through.
One of the infamous episodes was the WWE Themed Episode in which Bobby the Brains & Gorilla Monsoon appeared on Double Dare in a Cage Match, a Foul was called on both Wrestlers after a smackdown on the 8th Segment but the 2 regular contestants won the Grand Prize.
With other Famous or Infamous Moments from the past across the 6 Incarnations.

Well since I mentioned if anyone is anyone familiar with the Nickelodeon Show, Double Dare, here's more.
Before a show hits the airwaves, it gets tested repeatedly & long before Marc Summers was the Original Host of Double Dare. Before Double Dare's First Show, the show's producers wanted to know how people would react to a show that involves General Knowledge & messy stunts, complete with an Obstacle Course. During the Show's Screen Testing, Jeffery Darby was in charge of hosting the Prototype before becoming the show's Producer. Those parts of the show became what everyone saw in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 2000, 2018 & 2019.
Sometimes, the host said the rules and sometimes, someone else did them. Every Psychical Challenge that's seen on the show are tested & if that Challenge fails during a test run, it won't be seen on the show. But even if a Challenge succeeds in a Test Run, it sometimes doesn't get done live.
The Announcer, Harvey, is known to be shown in silly outfits sometimes on the show.

I found an Incarnation of the Disney Movie, "The Fox & the Hound" but its a Teaching In School Video from 1994.
Sometime in the 1990s to 2000s, Disney made a collection of Teaching Videos based on their movies & Disney Princesses. They made for Schools as a Valuable Educational Tool which branches together Knowledge & Moral Values with Self-Improvement from that movie.
To my knowledge, there's only a few: Snow White Aladdin Cinderella Fox & the Hound Tiger Movie Winnie the Pooh The Rescuers Down Under James & the Giant Peach Discover Spot So, I don't even know how many there are & they are very difficult to obtain.
Here's an example of one: The Fox & the Hound School Video had 5 Segments, during a segment, the narrator would explain what's happening in relation to that Segment, then after the segment, the Teacher would then pause or stop the video for a discussion with the students. When all the segments were completed, a review and conclusion are played. Then, to remind everyone of the values shown. A song would be played. In this case, Big Mama singing "The Best of Friends".
The Narrator's voice some tapes are the same as the Disney Previews until 2006. That Narrator was Mark Elliot.
