Disney Channel Original Movies We Should All Remember

“Let’s watch a Disney Channel Movie”

Disney Channel Original Movies We Should All Remember

Our childhood was built by a number of things. We always talk about what we used to wear and the things we used to say, but most importantly, we will always remember running to the TV every time we heard the words, “Let’s watch a Disney Channel Movie."

Our childhood wouldn’t be the same without these unforgettable Disney Channel Original Movies, and we should all make an effort to bring them back.

Pixel Perfect

Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century

Smart House

Motocrossed

Stuck in the Suburbs

Get A Clue

Brink

Johnny Tsunami

Phantom of the Megaplex

Don’t Look Under The Bed

Model Behavior

Gotta Kick It Up

My Date With A President’s Daughter

Thirteenth Year

Quints

Eddy’s Million-Dollar Cook-off

Cheetah Girls

Cadet Kelly

Double Teamed

Ultimate Christmas Present


When Disney Channel counted down the days until the premiere of the "DCOM," we counted down with them.

But what made us so excited for these movies?

We were always jealous of Loretta in "Pixel Perfect" for her ability to do anything at the press of a button. We definitely started saying “Zetus Lapetus” after we saw "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century." We all wanted to date Protozoa, even with his frosted-tipped hair. We wanted to have our own walls that doubled as screens for S-Club's seven music videos after we watched "Smart House."

"Motocrossed" taught our entire generation that girls could do things just as well as boys could. After watching "Stuck In The Suburbs," we all wanted Jordan Cahill to perform an impromptu concert to save our town landmark. "Get A Clue" fueled all of our hopes and dreams of becoming a spy ... and we all wanted Brenda Song’s outfits.

"Brink" and "Johnny Tsunami" were our first crushes as tweens. "Phantom of the Megaplex" and "Don’t Look Under The Bed" were the scariest movies we had seen in our lives. We all wanted to find our long-lost model twin and switch lives with her after we saw "Model Behavior."

"Gotta Kick It Up" made us want to shout “Si se puede” every five minutes. We all wanted to have that pink velvet dress in our closet after we saw "My Date With the President’s Daughter." As if we didn’t already, "Thirteenth Year" made us want to be Mermaids. Even though we fought every day with our own siblings, "Quints" made us want to have MORE siblings … five baby brothers and sisters, to be exact.

We re-created the fried chicken with cereal after we watched "Eddy’s Million-Dollar Cook-off." "Cheetah Girls" caused a spike in the sale of cheetah-print jump suits, and we all wanted to start our own singing group after it came out. Hillary Duff in "Cadet Kelly" made all of us want to be enrolled in a really cool military school. "Double Teamed" showed us that staying true to who you are is more important than trying to be cool at a new school … and we all wanted to have our own weather machine to make it snow after we watched "Ultimate Christmas Present."


No matter what you liked about it, or why you watched it, there will always be a Disney Channel Movie that changed your life.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
