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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
