As any 90s kid, the highlight of most of our friday nights was getting to watch the newest Disney Channel Original Movie. I think it is time that we take a trip down memory lane…
1. Brink!This 1998 Disney film featured the super dreamy Andy Brinker, a member of the “Soul-Skaters.” Andy’s crew was all about skating for fun and not for money, that is until they come into conflict with a group of sponsored skaters. The two teams eventually battled it out in extreme skating competition, where Andy’s team wins it all!
2. Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century What could be better than a Disney movie set it space?! After Zenon is grounded to Earth, she uncovers a villian’s plan to crash her space station. Luckily the quirky Zenon saves the day! I guess Proto Zoa was right, she is a “super nova girl.”
3. Smart House Remember when that one teenager won a computerized house that ended up turning into a super over bearing cyber mom?
4. Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire In this movie, the Hansen children are willing to do anything to get their divorced mother out of those house, including unknowingly setting her up with a vampire. YIKES.
5. The Luck of the Irish Kyle Johnson was just your ordinary junior high school student. He did well in school, played basketball, and hung out with his friends. That was until someone stole his lucky coin and he realized he was actually a leprechaun!
6. Double Teamed This film tells the real-life story of Burge sisters. These twins had a love for basketball that eventually led them to play in the WNBA.
7. Cadet Kelly This film featured the beloved Hilary Duff (aka LIZZIE MCGUIRE) as she plays the free-spirited Kelly Collins. Kelly ends up attending military school after her mother marries the Commandant. She must learn how to balance her care-free personality with the rigid structure of military school.
8. Gotta Kick It Up You do not have to be a dance fan to love this movie! Gotta Kick It Up follows the life of a teacher who aids a group of Hispanic girls as they figure out who they are while participating in a dance team.
9. The Cheetah Girls Come on, we all still know the lyrics to all of the songs. This Disney favorite’s plot concerns four girls who attended a Manhattan performing arts school, and set out to win their school’s talent show!
10. High School Musical OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE! This is the movie where we first fell in love with Zac Efron, sang “We’re All In This Together,” and wished our real life could always be like a musical.
This is a very limited list, but I hope it was a refresher. Next time you have nothing to do and are completely out of things to watch on Netflix, revisit some of these old films. I promise you will not be disappointed!
