As we grow older, we often forget the movies we adored as children. We come across them on Netflix and remember the times we watched them as kids and can't believe where the time has gone. Though there are so many movies we could list, I narrowed it down to ten that I think will hit you right in the feels- at least that's what they did to me.
1. The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)
This movie is what dreams are made of (get it?) The Lizzie McGuire movie was one of the best original Disney Channel movies that came out in the 2000's. Staring Hillary Duff as "Lizzie," we all dreamt of going to Rome, Italy and becoming a pop sensation. If you say you haven't jammed out to "This is what dreams are made of" off the movie soundtrack, then you're lying.
2. Zenon Z3 Series (1999)
"Zetus Lapetus!" The Zenon series was another Disney Channel original series that gave us all a glimpse into what the future would be like. Staring some of our favorites: Kirsten Storms and Raven Symone, we're shown what it was like to live in space (mind you this movie was made in 1999). Plus who didn't love jamming to Proto Zoa- the boy band from the movie?
3. Home Alone (1990)
When Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) is left home alone during Christmas vacation, he defends his house against burglars by setting traps such as: icing the steps, and heating the doorknobs. The movie is not only funny, but also gives you a few prank ideas if you're ever looking for one.
4. Jumanji (1995)
When two kids, Judy and Peter (Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce) play a board game they realize it's no ordinary game. When Alan Parrish (Robin Williams) is released from being trapped inside the board game, it brings dangerous obstacles that will only vanish once the game is finished. This movie is a classic to any kid born in the 90's!
5. Space Jam (1996)
Michael Jordan stars in this movie alongside with Bugs Bunny and the whole Looney Tunes cast. Bugs Bunny asks Michael Jordan to join his basketball team after he tricks the Aliens into playing a game for the Looney Tunes' freedom. If you haven't seen the movie, you've certainly heard the song "Space Jam," off the movie's soundtrack. Welcome to the space jam...
6. Stuart Little (1999)
Mr. & Mrs. Little decide to adopt a brother for George Little (Jonathan Lipnicki). They come across Stuart (voice of Michael J. Fox) a mouse who acts just like a human. George and Stuart become best friends, but snowbell the cat isn't fond of the new house guest. The movie follows the obstacles of having a mouse as a son, and is just as comedic as it is heartwarming.
7. Spy Kids (2003)
If you've ever wanted to be a spy, you most likely got the idea from this Disney Channel Original movie. Two kids Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara) become spies to save their ex-spy parents after they are kidnapped. The mission becomes more than just saving their parents when they realize they are dealing with an evil mastermind who plans to make clones that run the world.
8. Freaky Friday (2003)
Anne Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) and mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) can't seem to get along. When eating at a Chinese restaurant, the two read a fortune that causes them to switch bodies. For an entire day, the two must see the world through the others eyes which ultimately leads to the two of them finally coming together. The movie also had it's fair share of tunes, with artists such as Lindsay Lohan and Simple Plan on the soundtrack! Who remembers Simple Plan?
9. The Luck Of The Irish (2001)
Kyle Johnson (Ryan Merriman) a high school basketball player realizes his lucky gold coin is stolen from him. Kyle begins going through strange changes and realizes he is half leprechaun. In order to get the coin back, Kyle makes bets with an evil leprechaun that lead him on risky adventures, ultimately teaching him about his heritage. This movie was a Disney Channel original, and still occasionally plays on throwback Disney nights (sigh).
10. Double Teamed (2002)
For girls who loved sports, this movie was a must-see. Two twins, Heidi Burge (Annie McElwain) and Heather Burge (Poppi Monroe) have potential of becoming WNBA stars. At their new school, the two become stars on the court (and off) and begin to be noticed by college scouts. Based on a true story, the movie ends with the two twins playing in the WNBA against each other, though in reality they never faced each other on the court.
