Throwback: Original Disney Channel Movies

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winona chapter.

Growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s, nothing was better than a good DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie).  Finding out which movie was playing could either make or break your Friday night as a third grader.  It’s hard to narrow it down because there are SO many good movies, but here are some favorites.  The nostalgia is so real.

 

Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century  

We all wished we could have been Zenon’s BFF and lived in space with her. Don’t forget the hit song “Supernova Girl.”

 

The Thirteenth Year

Who wasn’t a little jealous that Cody Griffin started turning into a Mermaid (Merman) on his thirteenth birthday?!

 

My Date With The President’s Daughter

We all dreamed of having Hallie’s life as the President’s daughter, but all she wanted was to live an ordinary life. Oh and the theme song for this movie would be stuck in your head for days.  

 

Smart House

Besides the fact of the crazy, robotic mom, it was still the coolest house on the block.

 

Life Size

“Shine bright, shine far, be a star!”  Who didn’t know every word to Eve’s signature song?

 

The Ultimate Christmas Present

Getting in the Christmas spirit, this was definitely Disney’s best holiday movie.  It was every kid’s dream to find a snow machine and cause a snow day.  Am I right?

 

The list could go on for days! If Disney Channel decided to replay some of these movies, I’m sure all the 90s babies would tune in!

Meet our writer Courtney D. Jones! Courtney is a junior at Winona State University majoring in Mass Communications- Advertising. She is consistently busy juggling school, working two jobs, and on the recruitment committee for Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, so coffee is a necessity. But not just any coffee, it must be Starbucks Blonde Roast, with a dash of peppermint mocha creamer and a fourth of a packet of sugar. She has a die-hard love for all things beauty and fashion, and dreams of owning everything on her Pinterest boards one day. With her bright and bubbly personality, she loves meeting new people and sharing a good laugh.
