The 15 Best Disney Channel Original Movies

It's not all about High School Musical.

Let's face it: Disney Channel was all of our childhoods. We all loved watching "Lizzie McGuire", "Kim Possible", "Hannah Montana", and "Wizards of Waverly Place" after school. But more than the shows, we grew up watching Disney Channel Original Movies.

When the intro played "Let's watch a Disney Channel movie / Let's watch a Disney Channel movie / We're gonna watch a Disney Channel movie / Let's watch a Disney Channel movie" while kids jumped over blue film strips, you knew it was time to break out the popcorn, call your friends on your Motorola Razr and gush over the newest Disney Channel film.

Last month, Disney announced that it is airing a DCOM marathon in honor of releasing its 100th film. Disney will air the 51 most popular DCOMs starting Friday, May 27 at 10 a.m. ET until Monday, May 30, and will play the rest of the films in June. Feeling nostalgic yet? Here's the 15 best DCOMs:

1. High School Musical

It's obviously the best DCOM because it gave us great music, Zac Efron, and Vanessa Hudgens.

2. Stuck in the Suburbs

"More Than Me" and "Make a Wish" were probably your ringtones and on every mix CD you owned.

3. The Cheetah Girls

Cheetah print and tracksuits, 'nuff said.

4. Cadet Kelly

Somehow Hilary Duff made military school look cool.

5. Johnny Tsunami

It made us want to learn how to snowboard and use the word "bruh."

6. Camp Rock

"This is Me" was sung at every talent show after the movie came out.

7. Halloweentown

It's the best movie about Halloween.

8. The Thirteenth Year

Who didn't want to be a mermaid after this came out?

9. Cow Belles

It's a classic.

10. Luck of the Irish

He turns into a leprechaun, how cool is that?

11. Princess Protection Program

Friendship goals.

12. The Even Stevens Movie

Shia Labeouf stills thinks it's funny.

13. Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie

This movie was high-key stressful.

14. Gotta Kick It Up!

Si se puede!

15. Get a Clue

It had Lindsay Lohan.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
