Any Disney Channel Movies You Actually Like?

I remember how every night at seven o'clock the Disney Channel would show a movie. It could be live action, animated, original to the channel or an older film.

This was back when the UK Disney Channel was a bit like an all day Live and Kicking kind of thing.

You Wish, the Halloween Series (barring the 4th one), I almost liked minutemen until I realized the implications were rather unfortunate...

Stuck in the suburbs, read it and weep.

I remember that! Here in the States it was every day at 8:00. Now, they just show new episodes of Hannah Montana or whatever. I miss that. They almost never show their older movies anymore.

Hmm, I actually liked the Zenon trilogy, Up, Up and Away, Luck of the Irish, Edddie's Million Dollar Cookoff,Brink! and Alley Cats Strike.

They were actually OK.

Ooooh. Brink!

That was one I saw that actually inspired me to make my own ripoff version of it. It was a shitty story, but it was the only disney movie that made me do it.

^^ I never liked Alley Cats Strike, but it was written by Kel so I tried to give it a chance anyway.

The Zenon movies are oddly endearing... like the kind of thing you wouldn't usually like except for the fact that you do. Disney's good at that.

I fondly remember Luck Of The Irish as being like that mermaidman movie but more entertaining.

And Up, Up and Away! was like Sky High except I didn't hate it. Didn't that movie star that kid who was in that show where he was an alien? Alan Weird, I think it was...

I remember really enjoying Pixel Perfect and Smart House.

Also, I totally forgot there was more than one Zenon movie...they just sort of blended into each other for me I guess.

Also, does anyone remember that one film with Tia and Tamera and Tahj Mowry and the grandmother who uses the anti-aging soap? That was fun, if cheesy.

^^ Alan Strange Actually. And he was in that show? I better chuck up on that. I liked Luck of the Irish too, it helped inspire some of my superheroes and super-villains actually.

I nigh forgot about Pixel Perfect actually, I kinda liked it. It was interesting.

Pixel Perfect and Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off.

I almost forgot about Pixel Perfect. It had such a beautiful ending.

Princess Protection Program is pretty watchable actually.

I saw it, it seemed kinda...narmy.

Yeah, but many movies are popular for being narmfests. Besides, it's a DCOM, you can't watch it without expecting Narm.

Well, more narmy than normal, then.

I saw a film about a blind teenage musician who subsequently becomes a wrestler. I thought it was quite good, though I can't remember the title.

It's on wikipedia. Apparently it only aired twice, if I remember correctly. Negative reception.

I like the movies without much singing. While I enjoy musicals (and that includes some of the Disney Channel's musicals) they are so common for Disney that it makes a nice change of pace when something without too much singing comes on.

Seventeen Again. Not the one with Zac Efron, the one with Tia and TJ Mowry.

To be honest, I really wanted to like Avalon High because I loved the book. BUT, they absolutly destroyed the plot and character designs. Her parents were not in on the whole "Will is king Arthur" thing, hell NO ONE except Morton and Elle had any clue about it! It's like the writers read the spark notes and went "This is good enough!" *head desk*

Seventeen Again. Not the one with Zac Efron, the one with Tia and TJ Mowry.

Huh, I liked that too. In fact, there are few Disney Channel Movies I absolutely despise. I think the poor things need more love.

I think someone needs to go all Nostalgia Critic on these movies' asses and decide whether they are actually good or not. Liveblog potential, eh?

I liked their earliest ones. Zenon, Halloweentown, etc. Then they just kept... making them, they started to look the same to me... and then I said, "Okay. That's it."

um... Punks/Punx (I forget how it's spelled) and Blank Check.

I liked Up Up and Away—-and while I respect the decision to go differently than the later 'Sky High', I just wish they could have given the kid a non-power power, like Doug Ramsey. The family's kind words aside, I don't entirely believe that his feeling of outsider status was just in his own head.

Halloweentown, Luck Of The Irish, Get A Clue, Seventeen Again, Stuck In The Suburbs, Pixel Perfect, Color of Friendship, The Thirteenth Year, Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire, Quints, Cadet Kelly, The Cheetah Girls, Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off, Now You See It..., The Even Stevens Movie.
