13 Disney Channel Original Movies You Completely Forgot About

Back in the day, the best part of a Friday night was waiting for the new Disney Channel Original Movie to premier. Let's take a look at some of the wonderful movies that tend to be overlooked during reminiscing sessions. Here are some of the forgotten:


1. "Susie Q" (1996)


2. "The Paper Brigade" (1996)


3. "Genius" (1999)

So this movie is apparently so obscure now that you can't even find a trailer for it. If you don't remember, this movie was about a child genius, Charlie, who creates a new identity so he can make some friends that are his own age. Starring a baby Emmy Rossum and Trevor Morgan (who is kind of a babe, now).


4. "The Color of Friendship" (2000)

Remember when Disney channel got real for a second?

Remember now???


5. "Alley Cats Strike" (2000)

What do you get when you mix the early 2000s, retro teenagers, and a bowling rivalry? Disney Channel Original Movie magic.


6. "Phantom of the Megaplex" (2000)


7. "Stepsister from Planet Weird" (2000)

In case you forgot, this one's about a girl who finds out that her stepsister and stepdad are really aliens from outer space.


8. "The Other Me" (2000)

So, Andy Lawrence clones himself so that his clone can go to school while he stays home all day and plays video games (a new level of lazy, no doubt). While at school, his clone finds out that frozen pizza rocks, and then this happens:



And it was wonderful.


9. "Up, Up and Away!" (2000)

A family of superheroes (whose weakness is foil...) tries to defeat the evil, criminal mastermind who is brainwashing people through technology.


10. "Tru Confessions" (2002)

In this one, Shia LaBeouf plays a handicapped boy who becomes the focus of his twin's homemade documentary.


11. "Pixel Perfect" (2004)

Ricky Ullman ("Phil of the Future") creates a holographic singer for his friend's band. He becomes obsessed with this hologram, much to the dismay of his best friend (who, of course, is secretly in love with him).


12. "Tiger Cruise" (2004)

(Throwback to music video trailers.)


13. "Now You See It..." (2005)

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

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.

"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.
