'''Disney Cinemagic''' is the movie service for the [[Disney Channel (UK)|Disney Channel in the UK]], available through Sky Digital and Virgin Media. It launched on March 16th 2006, and replaced the British version of [[Toon Disney (UK)|Toon Disney]]. It has a timeshift service called Disney Cinemagic +1 which is available through Sky Digital and UPC Ireland. Despite the name, Disney Cinemagic has no formal connection with [[CineMagic (film festival)|CineMagic]] children's film festival based in [[Belfast]], [[United Kingdom|UK]].

==Channel Description==

'''Roy''' (ロイ ''Roi'') is a [[fiction]]al [[sword]]fighter from the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series of [[video game]]s. His only appearances in the games are in ''[[Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi|Fire Emblem 6: The Sword of Seals]]'' (''Fūin no Tsurugi'' in Japan) and a brief cameo in ''[[Fire Emblem (Game Boy Advance)|Fire Emblem 7: The Blazing Sword]]''. His father is [[Eliwood]], the hero of ''Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Sword'', the first ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' game to be released outside [[Japan]] as the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''Fire Emblem'' in the US.

Disney Cinemagic shows premieres of Disney movies every Sunday and includes regular screenings of Disney movies, typically three to four each day. Disney Cinemagic also shows the archives Of classic Disney Cartoons, newer Disney Cartoons & shorts as well as animated television series such as ''[[Disney's House of Mouse]]'', ''[[Lilo & Stitch: The Series]]'', and ''[[The Legend Of Tarzan|Tarzan]]''. Newer Shows get premiered every few months!

==Aspect Ratio==

Roy's deceased mother is never mentioned in name during ''Fuuin no Tsurugi''. She could be one of Eliwood's three potential wives from the player-controlled characters in ''Rekka no Ken'' (the mysterious half-human/half-dragon dancer Ninian, the cheerful half-Sacaean Lord/Blade Lord Lyndis alias Lyn, or the serious Illian Pegasus Knight/Falcoknight mercenary Fiora). She's left unidentified on purpose, so that the player can decide for themselves who it is.

Unlike its counterparts, [[Disney Channel (UK)|Disney Channel]] and [[Playhouse Disney (UK)|Playhouse Disney]], its movies are sometimes shown in their original [[aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] though these are usually available only on [[Sky Digital (UK)|Sky Digital]]. Notable exceptions are ''[[Tarzan II]]'', ''[[Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World]]'' and ''[[Bambi II]]'', which have only been broadcast in [[aspect ratio (image)|fullscreen]], and not their proper 16:9 ratio. Films in the 2:35 ratio, such as ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'', are cropped to 16:9, the only exception being ''[[The Incredibles]]''. Disney Cinemagic is slowly abandoning this process of showing 16:9 films in their original ratio, favouring prints in [[pan-and-scan]] due to the availability of widescreen on digital platforms.

==Disney Cinemagic in Europe==

==Role in ''Fūin no Tsurugi''==

May, 24 2007 Disney France announced officially that the channel will launch in France for september 2007 (including one hour timeshift Disney Cinemagic +1) , replacing Toon Disney on french satellite platform '''CANALSAT''', this probably means that the channel is ready to launch in more countries despite its small audience. [http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/today/?p=1079]

Roy is the sole "Lord" character of ''Fūin no Tsurugi'', the first ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' game to be released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. In the typical tradition of [[Fire Emblem]]'s Lords, he starts with somewhat shaky base stats, but will soon grow into a high-performance unit. His promotion in relation to the game's length is quite late, with only three chapters (at best) left in the game. His promotion to the Master Lord class is triggered, story-wise, by him inserting the Fire Emblem into the hilt and thereby unlocking the Sword of Seals from Shrine of Seals in Bern, then subsequently drawing the blade.

==Disney Cinemagic Films==

Roy is only fifteen years old<ref>[http://eaichu250.superbusnet.com/feartwork/FE6_OA/Roy.jpg Fire Emblem Characters Artbook]</ref> when the story of ''Fūin no Tsurugi'' begins. Bern had recently conquered the neighboring nations of Sacae (a vast plains country inhabited by mounted nomadic warriors) and Ilia (an arctic, barren nation famous for its skilled and devoted mercenaries), and had turned it sights to the Lycian Alliance. Following the Lycian code, each province is obligated to send their armies into battle against those who would attack the nation-states; Roy is thus called home from his studies in Ostia to lead Pherae's armies in his ill father's stead.

Along the way to Araphen (the Lycian realm closest to Bern), however, he meets the errant princess of Bern and sister of King Zephiel, Princess Guinevere, who had escaped from her land in the hopes of negotiating a treaty with Lycian nobility. Roy quickly agrees to her proposal to search for a peaceful means to end Bern’s aggression, and it is this encounter (along with his tardy arrival at Araphen to a dying Lord Hector) that will eventually lead him on a journey across Elibe to save Earth from another war between Dragons and humans. Roy is also under oath to the dead Lord Hector throughout the game after Chapter 3, in which he promises Hector that he will forever protect Hector's daughter [[Lilina]] on Hector's deathbed.

==Personality==

*''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]''

Roy is an upstanding, thoughtful, and idealistic young man who repeatedly shows a desire to help and support others, shown in his interaction with Guinevere and his friend since youth, Lilina. While he would prefer to avoid blood-shed – a fact reflected in his interaction with Guinevere and his tactical efforts to conserve his soldiers – he maintains a strong resolve to see peace return to Elibe. Unlike most young protagonists, however, he is perceptive and cunning for his age – he tricks a traitorous Lycian vassal into exposing himself, deciphers that the bard Elphin (who is in reality the missing Etrurian Prince Mildain) is more than he seems (though he does not pursue the truth against Mildain’s will), and often reacts calmly and tactically to disturbing news.

Roy is also quite oblivious to the obvious feelings that some of the women in the army develop for him (most via support conversations). Lilina in particular is quite smitten with him regardless of the player’s actions, but he never notices this. He can either marry her or several other women on the army (these ladies being the Sacaean nomad Sue, the dancer Lalam, the Valkyrie Cecilia, the Pegasus Knight Thany, or the Shaman Sophia), but even beforehand he's very protective of Lilina and seems to return her feelings.

==''Super= SmashComing Bros.Soon Melee''===

('''Note''': Due to the [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|constant addition]] of shows that are not going to air on Disney Cinemagic, this section can not be stated as fact.)

Roy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

*''[[My Friends Tigger and Pooh]]'' (Special Screening On June 30th)

He is one of four sword-fighters in the game, along with [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]], Young Link and fellow ''Fire Emblem'' veteran [[Marth (Fire Emblem)|Marth]]. Both Roy and Marth speak [[Japanese language|Japanese]] in all versions of the game.

=== Former Programming ===

In order to unlock Roy in the game, one must complete Classic or Adventure Mode with Marth. Upon completion, Roy will appear and challenge the player; successful defeat of Roy will unlock him.

*''[[DuckTales]]''

Alternatively, Roy can be unlocked by playing nine hundred complete versus matches.

*''[[Jungle Cubs]]''

*''[[The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa]]''

==Events==

Roy and Marth are "clones", meaning that their movesets are very similar in appearance and function, but with different effects. In order to deal the most damage and fight effectively, Roy should for the most part stray away from aerials and focus on the ground. This is because his aerial attacks, while fast (though not as fast as Marth's), are quite weak, whereas his ground attacks are very powerful. Roy should also, unlike Marth, get as close to the opponent as possible. This is because Roy's attacks are superior (both in terms of damage and other properties) in the middle of the blade and weaker in the tip, while Marth's attacks are stronger in the tip and weaker in the center. His weapon, the Sword of Seals, has a wide blade which explains why the damage is greater at the middle of the blade. As he bears arguably heavier armour and wields a [[broadsword]] (a much heavier weapon than Marth's [[rapier]]), and in one hand, no less, Roy is considerably slower than Marth, both in movement and attack speed. This is also likely the reason why Roy's throws are among the worst in the game (it takes a lot of strength to use a broadsword in a single hand, especially with Roy's fighting style). However, he is easily the fastest of all the low-speed characters, and has no trouble holding his own against medium and even some high-speed characters. Also, he has a vastly greater amount of power and knockback than Marth, if his attacks are utilized correctly.

Disney Cinemagic tend to broadcast certain special events occasionally or part of their regular schedule.

===Current Events===

[[Image:Roy1.jpg|frame|Roy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.]]

Roy's most powerful attack is his "Flare Blade" (Can be executed by pressing and holding 'B'), which will produce a massive explosion and deal damage almost sufficient for an instant KO, at the cost of several seconds' worth of charge time and 10% damage to Roy. The Flare Blade is arguably the most powerful attack in the game (causing 50% damage to the opponent) next to Ganondorf's fully charged Up-A Smash Attack (causing 53% damage to the opponent). (However, it is virtually impossible to pull off at its full potential against intelligent human opponents, even in four-player matches.) Technically, it is possible to achieve more damage in a single move than the Flare Blade (due in large part to Roy's own Counter, discussed below). [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s Oil Panic relies on "collecting" projectile attacks; therefore, many say the Flare Blade is the most powerful move as it is independent of external conditions.

Disney Cinemagic brought back the Movie Showdown (after Disney Channel ceased broadcasting years ago) where viewers go to the Vote page on the website and choose one of the two selected films till Saturday at 9am!

Roy's most powerful ''move'' is actually the "Counter". It deals 1.5x the damage of the opponent's attack to them while neglecting all damage done to Roy given that your opponent is within range of the sword. Essentially giving Roy the ability to do extremely high amounts of damage. If the opponent's damage is high enough, it can also send the opponent flying in an unusual trajectory due to how his counter-slash is performed (basically pushing a character over and down which causes it to appear as though they are bouncing off of air). Blocking a powerful move with it (such as Ganondorf's Warlock Punch or another Roy's Flare Blade) can result in an almost guaranteed K.O. Therefore, Counter is considered one of the most powerful moves in the game. By contrast, Marth's Counter deals a consistent 7% (unless made "stale" by repeated use, in which case it may drop to 6%) damage to the opponent, but delays for only about one second after being activated and therefore an overall reliable counter. Unlike Roy's, which has a delay of about two and a half seconds. Roy's counter has a shorter phase in which he will retaliate, and thus is harder to perform and leaves him open to attacks if used at the wrong time.

"Movies to see before you're Nine", is where Disney Cinemagic shows movies suitable for Under 9s every Sunday at 9am! Movies like ''[[Bambi 2]]'', ''[[Dumbo]]'' and ''[[Fox and the Hound]]''

Many inexperienced players will have trouble executing Roy's Double-Edge Dance (AKA, his B-Smash). It is an attack based completely on the direction of the joystick and the timing of the B button. Usually, players are used to pressing B while holding the joystick in one direction, which results in two frontal slashes. To utilize this ability to the fullest, one must alter the combo, pausing for split second for every strike after the first, to choose the direction of the strike (up, down, or right/left), with different attacks having radically different properties (sending the opponent down (otherwise known as spiking), up, left/right, stunning the opponent, making the opponent fly in a trajectory that leaves them vulnerable to a more powerful attack, etc.). The only real drawback to this attack is that in terms of overall damage potential it is one of the weakest of Roy's attacks. Because of this and its multiple functions, as with Marth, Roy's Side-B is meant to be more of a tactical tool than a true offensive technique.

===Coming Soon===

Roy is voiced by [[Jun Fukuyama]] in the game.

My Friends Gadget, Basil, Tigger & Pooh! Features included are ''[[Inspector Gadget 2]]'', ''[[The Great Mouse Detective|Basil The Great Mouse Detective]]'' and a special screening of ''[[My Friends Tigger & Pooh]]''

===Former Events===

Roy's four victory lines are:

*僕は負けない。''Boku wa makenai'' which translates to "I will not lose."

*苦しい戦いだった。''Kurushii tatakai datta'' which translates to "It was a difficult fight."

*真の戦いは、これからだ。''Shin no tatakai wa, korekara da'' which translates to "The true fight is after this."

*守るべきもののために、負けられない! ''Mamoru beki mono no tame ni, makerarenai!'' which translates to "For those who I must protect, I will not lose!"

Emperor's Day: 1st January 2007 Features included were'' Back to Back runs of ''[[Emperor's New School]]'', ''[[Emperor's New Groove]]'' and ''[[Kronk's New Groove]]''

The ''Super Smash Bros. Melee Official Guide'' from ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' classifies Roy as a Type One Up Close Specialist character meaning that he is clearly best for getting into the melee.

==TriviaExternal links==

*[http://www.disneycinemagic.co.uk/ Disney Cinemagic (UK) website]

* Roy was playable in a game before appearing in his native franchise, with him appearing in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' before appearing in a ''Fire Emblem'' game. This was done in part to promote the release of ''Fūin no Tsurugi'' in Japan.

*[http://www.mindthezap.tv/channels/1206-today.html Disney Cinemagic - UK TV Listings and Schedules]

* Roy and Marth were never expected to make it to any other countries, but they were popular enough to do so. It was largely Roy and Marth's appearances in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', along with the huge fanbase in Japan, that brought the ''Fire Emblem'' series to the U.S.

* Those who have played ''Fūin no Tsurugi'' are of a divided opinion regarding Roy. While the majority claim that he is a weak and near-useless main lord character, there are some who claim that he is a fantastic unit and is capable of maxing out nearly every statistic. However, getting a 'good' or 'bad' Roy is always down to the RNG{{Fact|date=February 2007}}.
