Disney didn't do themselves any favors by reviving Disney Channel Original Movies with one of the worst possible remakes. The classic Adventures in Babysitting featured some date rape and homophobic jokes,
so it wasn't all that great either, but the movie was about a group of stranded kids getting through the nitty gritty of Chicago. The remake was Disney-fied and turned
Camp Rock gets mixed reviews but anyone who watches this movie more than once learns quickly that they've made a mistake. While the songs can be catchy, Disney was
trying to build off of the success of High School Musical and they did not succeed. Appreciate the vocal talents of Demi Lovato and The Jonas Brothers in the albums
Lindsay Lohan was phenomenal in Parent Trap, which started her Disney career. Not all her movies were successes, though, and Get a Clue was one of them. Basically Harriet the Spy,
Everyone loves a good story about rich girls who learn about the other half and change, but Cow Belles was laughable in how they accomplished this. Aly and AJ
Princess Protection Program is a throwback to when Selena and Demi were besties. The movie was about a princess (Demi) who needed hiding by a military professional and his daughter
(Selena) who couldn't stand her. While it's nice to see their friendship flourish, the level of extravagance this princess needed could give Duchess Kate a run for her pound.
Seeing Tia and Tamera reunite as sisters in Sister, Sister was amazing! Twitches was overkill with the rushed storyline and polar opposite behavior of the characters. If it
While many Disney Channel Originals seem to involve magic, this one took it to a new level. Tyra Banks is a gorgeous model and fierce business woman in real life,
The cartoon series had its moments but there were always certain things that were a little too quirky, like the talking baby and grandma's crazy behavior. The movie was that
The sequel made it to this list to show how far Zenon fell. From saving the space station in the original to now finding a celebrity to communicate with aliens,
the concept took a turn for the weird. Although Disney Channel Originals are no stranger to alien movies, only one involving Zenon could make it onto our list.
Science project gone wrong? More like the smartest kid in the world develops a clone. While the ending is very strange and wouldn't make sense in a non-Disney movie, everything
While Cadet Kelly used to be a personal favorite for the fun flare Kelly brought to the strict ROTC life, it kind of downplays the intensity of what military academy students

If you weren't watching Kim Possible as a child what were you doing?! The movie was totally worth watching because it's when Ron and Kim finally get together!
The sequel to the hit original was the last of the decent Halloweentown movies, and that's why it made this list. Kalabar attempts to get revenge after his plot from
Centering on a boogeyman, this is by far one of the creepiest movies that the Disney Channel has ever produced. If you feel like getting scared for the evening, try
Betrayal, vengeance, revenge, kidnapping, what more could a movie need? A teen's presentation is stolen, and when he tries to prove it, he ends up kidnapping his principals dog. He
Wendy Wu is like the real life version of Mulan except it's modern day and she's dealing with a mystical being. For a magical time, and until they make the
Movies about the troubles friends go through can hit home sometimes. In The Cheetah Girls, the characters rise to fame together and have power struggles, but in the end things
One of Disney Channel's biggest successes is High School Musical, the only original to land a sequel in theaters. While the movie is cheesy, it's hard to resist the
This is basically the real-life version of The Little Mermaid except it's about a boy, and instead of becoming a human he becomes a merman. At the time, Chez
This was a Halloween classic for Disney Channel. While I totally understand Shawn's predicament about getting passed over for a job, I don't think haunting a movie theater is how
A Disney Channel Christmas Original, The Ultimate Christmas Present is a nice movie about a white Christmas that becomes unstoppable, even for Santa Claus. The movie has a lot
Jump In has similar themes to Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off; someone pursuing their passion even when it's not what their parents want for them. This, combined with young
As one of the best Halloween movies ever made, Underwraps was an adventure that left you with many questions, like why the parents of these children didn't question where they were
on a weeknight. It doesn't have the same terrifying magic if you're watching as an adult, so if you want some screams you might want to try a real mummy

This movie was crazy in all sorts of ways and therein lies its appeal. Zenon was a stellar girl living in a stellar world who got grounded to Earth. She
This is one of the more serious movies produced by Disney Channel, but it is definitely worth watching. It's about death and growing up and trying to find a little
Although based on a true story, Double Teamed differs a bit from what actually happened. However, it's worth watching simply for the message of how siblings can be dysfunctional
Another movie about siblings not getting along, You Wish takes on the scenario of what your life would be like if you didn't have a sibling anymore, and how you'd
You can't do it all, no matter how hard you try, and sometimes you have to make difficult decisions. It's even harder when your younger sister starts to be better
at your game than you. Basically, everyone's life in a nutshell, right? Lucy Beale is tough as nails in this action packed movie that makes you appreciate hard work!
We've seen it in almost every TV show and movie; who wouldn't want to have grown up and gone to school on the sunny shores of Southern California beaches? Well
Luck of the Irish has Ryan Merriman in it, so it automatically gets bumped to the top! The movie is about cultural appreciate and learning more about your heritage.
This is one of Disney's better movies. It's about a young man who is blind, moves to a new town, and struggles to fit in. The determination he demonstrates when

Sometimes it takes walking a mile in someone else's shoes to understand what you take for granted. If you want to watch a movie that makes you appreciate what you

By far one of the best Disney movies, and almost our number one, The Color of Friendship is about racial prejudices during the apartheid. Why is it one of the
best? Considering what's been going on the past few years in America, it seems like we haven't learned a lot and should take a lesson from these two young girls.
boy who has autism, the difficulties he and his family face, and what people around him do. It's a great movie for some reflection, and hopefully one that'll get us
Disney Channel Original movies were the reason we existed as kids. It was all we could do to wait for the latest Friday night Original release. Then when Disney took a hiatus from creating Originals we waited for the random marathons where we could catch a glimpse of Ryan Merriman in Smart House, not realizing how ahead of its time the movie was (thanks Google Home and Alexa).
