Anyone remember Disney Channel Original Movies?

Brink. Zenon: Girl of the Twenty-First Century. Zenon: The Zequel. The Thirteenth Year. Halloweentown. MotoCross.

Were these the bomb or....not???

Slimy!

 

High School Musical and Lemonade Mouth were ace.

 

You can't make a "does anyone remember" thread with something that is

1) ongoing

2) not old enough to be nostalgic

Of course people remember these. They're still happening and it was only 13 years ago anyway.

 

Yeah, I have to agree with Luigi. I've noticed a pattern lately with people around my age nostalgically obsessing over the same things - which aren't that far removed - constantly. If I have to sit through one more conversation about how great pogs were or how much we loved Doug and the Rugrats, I might lose it. Is this just something that people in their 20's do? Or is it about the way Millenials were raised?

 

But Rugrats and Doug WERE great, and Pogs were fun too.

I miss Rocko's Modern Life.

 

Team Pup n' Suds? What do they pay you in, kibbles n' bits?

 

Then 9/11 happened and things were never the same.

 

Pogs were not fun. Pogs only gave other children yet another thing to make fun of me for, in this case, not having, to go along with all of their other stupid crap.

Sure, collecting and paying for cardboard circles with pictures on them was super cool, but playing with rocks and pretending that they were spaceships was crazy.

 

Of these, I only remember Smart House and Halloweentown.

And Rugrats wasn't good then, isn't good now. Pogs were always ridiculous.

 

But... it's Alf. Remember Alf, Bart? Well, he's back, but in pog form!

 

I remember them, loved them, and would (secretly) maybe watch them again. There was another terrible one about St. Patrick's Day I watched too much too.

I watched the Disney Channel movies and even then I think the only ones I ever really liked were Halloweentown 1 and 2 and The Luck of the Irish, and I always found the third act of the latter silly anyway. I saw a lot of the though like the Zenon ones and Cadet Kelly and the one about the Hawaiian surfer guy, as well as the third (and fourth? I think there were four...) Halloweentowns. I don't think I'd watch any of them today except maybe the first Halloweentown.

I still enjoy Rugrats, mostly the stuff before the first movie came out, but some of the stuff after as well until Kimi came along. I even subscribed to Rugrats magazine way back when which had original comic stories and games. I even still have my issues at my parent's house, though they're not in the best condition and I haven't touched them in years.

As a kid I always preferred Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network to Disney Chammel and Kids' WB (even though I watched a lot of shows that aired on both CN and WB), though I watched all of them to a degree. I'd probably still watch them today if more of my old favorites were still on the networks, even if only in reruns. Sometimes when my family goes on vacation we stay at places with Boomerang and I watch that for hours on end, late into the night. Usually I switch back and forth between that and C-SPAN.

 

What the heck are pogs? Definitely don't remember thosese.

So yeah, after making this thread, I went and looked these up on Wikipedia, and wow, can't believe Brink was 13 years ago. My friend nad I were obsessed with that movie. Of course, what a bull**** message it actually has: If you love doing something, don't you DARE do it professionally!!

Slimy!

 

Halloweentown, Under Wraps (the mummy), Zenon, Brink, Can of Worms (aliens), Luck of the Irish (leprechauns), the Thirteenth Year (mermaids/merman), Smart House, Johnny Tsunami, Don't Look Under the Bed, Genius, You Lucky Dog, Quints, the Other Me, Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, Phantom of the Megaplex, ... good times. I remember my sister loved Cadet Kelly too.

 

Those all bring back such good memories. I still can't believe they were putting one a month! I also remember "MotoCrossed," AKA "Twelfth Night on Dirtbikes."

There were also ones I didn't really care for, like "Dog Goned" or whatever it was caled, with Shia LaBoof as the bad guy.
I remember Zenon and the Zequel, but the third one was after my time. Now, I have to admit, I wanna watch it.

Slimy!

 

I've never seen a Disney Channel original movie. I don't feel like I'm missing much.

 

Saved By The Bell was the ****ing business.

 

I loved Brink. I grudgingly liked Cadet Kelly.

 

I must've been lucky, because the Disney Channel of my youth showed classic Disney stuff and other animated fare from other studios, like those Looney Tunes movies that were a collection of classic shorts with new animated footage as a narrative filler in between.

The Nick of my youth showed foreign exported kids' shows from Canada and elsewheres, and things like the '70s Star Trek animated series. Although, I will admit Rocko's Modern Life was awesome.
