Pixel Perfect: Sam's Mind

Loretta goes into Sam's mind.

[@beulacox1989]

"If I'm so perfect, why do I feel so limited." - the trap of perfection.

This movie was honestly a story really well told. Sometimes I still think of this scene and cry.

Right so sad this movie was well done!

Same!

[@ButterflyPink1121]

Disney WOULD NEVER make a movie like this today. This scene, the first time I watched it never left me. My favorite DCOM

[@AriesMoonTarot]

YOU GET TO BE THE DREAMER BUT ALL I'LL EVER BE IS THE DREAM

[@125BigLou]

AriesMoonTarot💫 this line got me good.

[@AriesMoonTarot]

Revisited this comment at 222 and that’s the number I always see most

[@7supergirl]

The way she says "There's only room for one of us in here..." is so ominous! The first time I watched the movie, I really thought Loretta was going to kill Sam and take over her body.

[@ladyclassicalwrites]

Would've made an interesting ending, for sure.

[@maryj7423]

This is honestly one of the deepest movies I've ever seen. I was so young back then that I couldn't recall it much but its beautiful message remained in the back of my mind.

[@lillyimaginator]

I love this scene so much. Sam felt so bad that she isn’t good enough, but she didn’t even see what she did and achieved in her life. It’s great, to realize life is not about perfection, it’s about PROGRESSION.

[@nakiarobby3996]

👍🏽

[@scarletweb2106]

👍

[@metawolf987]

This scene makes me cry every time I watch it, and it is the reason this is the only DCOM that will stick with me as long as I live. Such a powerful message and life lesson for children and adults alike. I miss DCOMs like this so much.

[@dcomclips7195]

I always ignored this movie until Disney re-aired it for the 100 DCOM celebration. I feel exactly the same way as you.

[@metawolf987]

DCOMClips Hey, you wouldn't happen to know the artist and title of the song that plays immediately after the scene with Roscoe and Loretta trying to "feel" each other, would you?

[@Charles-Pettibone]

The scene where she strums the guitar and her mind returns to life stuck with me. I spent years trying to find it again. So glad I did.

[@jinorism]

I had to google “that one dcom with the girl in the hologram band”

[@KTShea]

This has scene has stuck with me my whole life. It's kinda sad because I remember being so young and just feeling this and understanding it so deeply???

[@xarchanx]

The music she plays in this scene has been stuck in my heart for so long. Thank you for uploading this scene.

[@nolongerinuse488]

xarchanx they should have made that longer or maybe it's sampled from a real song. I've always loved it too.

[@ladyclassicalwrites]

+Pharaoh Skylar it is from a real song. "When the rain falls."

[@specialbreed4209]

Exactly, I literally just said this

[@FalconFlyer75]

one thing u gotta respect about these DCOMs is the fact that they actually put genuine care and effort into it even though they knew the primary audience was kids and they could have gotten away with halfassing it as a result we can come back as adults and really appreciate it in a way we didn't know how to the first time we saw them

[@lcvigilanteproductions3498]

Couldn't have said it any better. 💯

[@reignnyjoseph8531]

You said this better than I couldn’t have ever imagined.

[@JamesBavolacco]

Depression at its finest.

[@specialbreed4209]

The song she played is so beautiful, I remember it when it came out and I’ll remember that piece she played for the rest of my life.

[@jddiggy2343]

Also the lessons in the Disney movies were Real back in the day man God I love it🙏🏿

[@maddimagpie]

I only saw this movie when it first came out on Disney Channel and I've always imagined my mind like Samantha's when it came to being depressed. Watched again the other night, and setting aside the silly stuff Disney did to make it kid friendly, this movie went where few films would. It's poses so many questions about purpose and what perfect really is and I love it for that ❤

[@erikaz1590]

Come to think of it, this really points out how much they're underselling Loretta as just an idol. This girl can go into comatose people and wake them up. That would easily be a multi-million dollar medical tool.

[@christinedomagala3781]

I honestly felt sorry for Loretta. She was designed to be perfect. All she ever wanted to be was normal and have dreams and dance in the rain. At least she died getting that one chance to dance in the rain. I felt bad for Sam too I’m glad they saw eye to eye and Sam grew from that. This movie doesn’t make you cry, I don’t know what will.

[@lonelyberg1316]

This movie was great but it doesn't make me cry

[@sdfdksfjksd]

wow, you wouldn't expect a scene like this from a Disney Channel Original movie.

[@puterboy2]

Loretta is in some ways, similar to Pat from Smart House, they are both computerized creations who long to become human.

[@adalsegu9670]

but when faced with reality ultimately accept death, contemplate suicide which is pretty rad

[@augustjsb]

That's literally every AI in every science fiction movie.

[@apryllebrewster2923]

Omg I remember Smart House . "You can't be our mother Pat you're not real."- Ben "So."-Pat

[@savannahdebose757]

The scene makes me sad because it’s really the last time you see Loretta before she dies. And seeing sam and Loretta having a genuine heart to heart conversation.

[@MorganAFunches]

Agreed!

[@marialoveshiphopp]

I'm 25 and still think about this scene

[@sw8330GKEEPER]

[@mizzphitzbeta]

Watching this as a little kid felt spiritual for some odd reason. Can’t explain

[@lillyimaginator]

I felt so too. This scene is so meaningful and deep

[@mizzphitzbeta]

@@lillyimaginatorRIGHT?! 😭🩵

[@klassicalmuzik]

Not odd at all. It is spiritual. It shows the value of progression, improvement, and the beauty of imperfections. As a society, we strive to be perfect (which is impossible). And when we’re presented here with perfection, we see that it’s limiting and not all it’s cracked up to be. To be told that it’s ok to be imperfect and to make a mistake all in the effort of progression and improvement of self, is a beautiful message.

[@khalliewarned1857]

0:29 this is low-key what depression feels like

[@dominikeleighton]

I LITERALLY THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS A FEVER DREAM

[@iamskinfairy]

All this time I have been searching for this movie. I only remembered the rain scene and the stuck in darkness scene… and I finally FOUND IT

[@kristinamandathimas1860]

It reminds me of how of how I am. Im one to doubt myself. Some think I'm dramatic cause I'm an easy crier. It's just cause I'm so hard on myself.all the time so I when I felt like I've let myself down and get embarrassed so easily I find myself in tears and shut myself down pushing others away but when someone reminds me of a story Ive told them from the top of my head - a dance I've come up with on my own - a drawing. Ive drawn - or a picture I've colored. They remind me of the incredible world I've created for myself through it all reminding me of what I can do when I put my mind to it so when I watch this it makes me think of that and it means something personal to me and it makes it special for me

[@MichaelJONeill333]

This movie will always stick with me. Absolutely loved this movie. 27 now

[@PODSMPSG1]

Loretta can never be real, Sam will always be real. Loretta is what we want, but Sam is what we need.

[@RebelKitty19]

No never wanted Loretta lmao

[@marcoscabezolajr.8408]

Her spirit living on after death shows she was real.

[@Summerof08]

On foe’nem

[@ramonapiercesalvatore5917]

Holy shit this scene this moviw is pretty heavy

[@Alex2468ful]

She spent so much time hating Loretta for the perfection she embodied, but Loretta was the one soul, the one consciousness who would’ve understood Sam the best, she IS Sam in so many ways.

[@taylorbryant4544]

for any the originals fans here...here's Camille lol

[@nogooddeedgoesunpunished362]

MadSimmer - Here's me! Used to watch this back in 2004/5 on Disney Channel.

[@hotcrunchycheeto]

MadSimmer yessssss she was always such an amazing actress

[@Rachhhell]

Gonna sound weird. But I’ve remembered this scene since this movie came out (I’m 25) and it’s taken me so long to figure out what movie it was from

[@Christfaithwalk]

Haha Same! I was happy when I found it on Disney plus. This was the only scene out of the entire movie I remembered, definitely different than I remembered!!

[@nkosihaynes700]

I have the same experience and I’m trying to figure out why this scene is in our subconscious. It’s kinda freaky.

[@Charles-Pettibone]

me too. this was the one scene that i remembered. couldnt remember the larger story or context at all, just the scene.

[@BabsChannel]

This scene has always been disturbing.

[@GMANKOOL23]

I never realized that , but i see it now . How did this get passed by the execs at Disney ???

[@suzietoanoneart]

I used to be scared when I was younger of the beginning scene where it's all dark and gloomy...

[@hartyhart6154]

GMANKOOL23 because they trusted their kid/teen audience enough to feel they were mature enough to handle it. Now everything is dumbed down and everyone is afraid of offending each other. Plus, It’s really not that bad or disturbing, sad and depressing yes, but we’re not watching someone being hanged by their neck or anything here. It’s an effective scene that gets the message across.

[@StilesHoodie]

Disney used to do a lot more mature movies then they do now

[@BabsChannel]

@@StilesHoodie lolol, this isn't mature. I was there in those early Disney Channel days.

[@prosenfi2]

And just like that, she cured a Continuing Vegetative State. I’m honestly surprised this hospital didn’t just keep Loretta around, for the next person in a coma.

[@nickzapotocky1689]

Her mind look like she is very depressed

[@radioheadtv3131]

So she made the classical song “Four Seasons”

[@yael7002]

I love this scene so much

[@vze21gwa]

For a movie about a pretty person, it falls through in casting. Sam is prettier than Loretta. It absolutely makes no sense.

[@erynnwakefield264]

its about the standard of beauty not the actuality of it, the standard being blonde, skinny and white. that even if a girl is pretty, she wishes to reach the standard

[@This_is_Bambii]

@@erynnwakefield264 it's funny because in the show The Originals she is literally a pretty blonde girl.

[@undeadtanuki]

They play two separate songs in this scene (the one during the dream world trasformation and the one Sam plays) that to this day I still havent found the names of :/

[@inuykapolly]

The both songs were created for the film, only... There is no specific band or song. I also searched for a long time, I even saw all the credits for the movie kkkkkkk ... But what I can tell you is that the instrumental music of the dream is very similar to Enya's watermark and the guitar music, it plays on end of the movie. When Sam introduces himself for the first time.

[@ceesan5605]

This scene is futureproof Artists nowadays strive to emulate these times

@ then your a super Saiyan it's that simple

[@mizzphitzbeta]

I mean when I was a kid I knew it had a deep meaning of SOMETHING. Funny story whenever this movie would play at like 2am or 3am and I would wake up in the middle of the night-this scene would always play everytime. I took it as a sign for me to remember 😭

[@Mnemoniforma9.00]

I know KH made Disney fairly chummy w/ Square Enix, but was ripping the scenery from Rinoa rescuing Squall at the end of FF8 necessary?
