Some people don't understand how coperate synergy works. Certain shows are in a more protected class than others (for various reasons), and this show is one of them. Besides the Disney connection, ABC also doesn't want to piss off Adam and Eddy and have them go to another network. Same thing with Shonda Rimes. They have a relationship, and these people keep bringing them cashcow shows. Also, notice how ABC has Once as a Disney and Pixar show, Agents of Shield as a Marvel show, and I'm pretty sure I read a Star Wars show for ABC is in the works. (Oh, and don't forget The Muppets show as well). They have these francises that make money, they are going to promote them as much as they can, in as many places as they can, so they continue to be popular and make even more money. It's a pretty simple concept, but it works wonderfully.
