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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
