Pixel Perfect - When the Rain Falls

[@ittybittyhipster]

I always really liked this movie, and I think the reason no one ever really talked about it is because it was ahead of Disney. It was too mature for the typical disney audience...which is why i loved it

[@payrolljustin9800]

Exactly lol

[@flores14777]

Yes... but it was such a good movie

[@dredednotez26]

Disney movies at that time knew that their main demographic at that time were transitioning into adulthood!! It was a good time in life

[@AwinoWrites]

People didn't like it?

[@erikaheck8261]

I often feel like this movie was ahead of its time

[@TheJemiHeart]

this movie gave me all kinds of feelings... i miss the old disney :(

[@danielcardenas7230]

I know me too

[@alteredperceptions3813]

They taught life lessons back then. Now they teach kids to use smart phones & crave to be famous.

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

Me too.

[@Bernard-yc5bb]

Me too better than Disney now

[@nebulavontage6113]

I rememberers crying as a kid because it was like Loretta died and Sam sang this song as a tribute to her

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

Me too. The scene, it was touching.

[@ericjones149]

My mom never understood why I was crying, but singing these “Disney” songs all my life. The relevancy. But somehow it’s hitting different now. 😭😭

[@sydneyreid7401]

Yesss

[@MzMayaJ]

Me too

[@hbb5613]

This movie legit gave me existential crisis as a kid but I still loved it, Disney was so daring back then

[@Laurenlife]

i just finished watching this and it really sucks how disney will never make movies like this anymore i missed it when disney made movies that had such a strong message behind it yet none of us really understood them until we got older this movie teaches you to not be so pressured into being the perfect person and to not pretend to be someone that you're not and the most important thing to do is to be yourself it's really sad how back then when we were kids disney & nickelodeon were made for teenagers but then as soon as we became teenagers it started to be for little kids and now kids will NEVER understand these kinds of movies that we grew up with

[@aw62875]

u are so right! our childhood was the prime years for Disney and nickelodeon...I stopped remember going to nickelodeon studios for vacation...I think they turned it into a restaurant/hotel now

[@alteredperceptions3813]

*crying* Long Live 90s/00's Disney !!!

[@kiarajay4504]

agreed

[@operasinger89]

Lauren I sobgreatful to be a 90s baby. Everything as a kid was a it's pinical. Disney channel movies, anime playing on toonami,.. man I miss being a kid.

[@beckystutzman6899]

Exactly! This and "Tru Confessions" had such an impact on me even before I fully understood all the complexities of emotions behind them! Now the movies are all fluff with sassy kids and stupid parents.

[@IceQueen975]

When I was a kid I just thought this was a very pretty song. Grown up I cried because now I really *get it*.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I cried too

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

i cried as a kid and now cause of what happened before song

[@lurategh]

Even my dad liked this song! I remember this tugging at my heartstrings. Even as a kid I thought this movie was a little more "mature" than some other DC movies. I thought the acting was good, and I was amazed that it dealt with certain philosophical themes like Loretta's yearning to be human, Roscoe's feelings for someone not "real," and all the implications those situations come with. Of course, there were things that bothered me too, like how the singing voices were blatantly older people. :P

[@JasminesKitchenn]

This movie touched my soul back then..still does now 😢

[@itgirl1002]

this was soooo sad for me when I was a kid. I wanted to cry during that rain scene.

[@laurenconrad1799]

Even after twelve years or so this song still gives me goosebumps.

[@wizardwarrior713]

This is probably the best DCOM ending. Nowadays, Disney Channel endings are like- "Problems solved- let's celebrate with showy music and dancing and all that partying stuff!" But this ending isn't as flashy and is more humble and the song is more true and more meaningful, as was the moral of the story. The ending's much more touching than the modern DCOMs'. It deserves more attention.

[@titij7733]

Anyone else was on the verge of tears when they realized Loretta was the one doing back up vocals 😭

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

I was. That was just really touching.

[@emilyottsrocks3082]

This was me!!! ❤❤❤

[@DistantlyCold]

I miss these types of movies on Disney

[@alteredperceptions3813]

This was before the illumanti took over Disney channel. It was still pure during this era

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

Me too. Such good Disney nostalgia.

[@NykMorris]

This was my very favorite DCOM, right along with the Zenon movies, but I think this one was so powerful and wonderful because image and perfection is something we all struggle with and it is presented in such an abstract way through this movie. It was underrated back then but I think that this was one of the best, and most relevant, DCOMs after just watching it again as a grown up.

[@torimani]

Totally agreed

[@sebaspaz0103]

Also the first Cheetah Girls, Stuck in the Suburbs, Tiger Cruise and Cadet Kelly!

[@20-NYC]

How was it under rated back than?

[@Laurenlife]

92NycGirl because no one really paid attention to the strong message behind it before cause looking at it now is SO FUCKIN relevant today cause all the industry cares about is the look and not the talent which is EXACTLY why music today sucks as hell

[@metawolf987]

+Lauren Not just relevant now, the message in this movie is timeless. We as human beings, are not meant to be perfect. And once we realize that, we can live the life we were meant to live.

[@LapisGarter]

The part where she enters Sam's brain and wakes her up and then the ending was so nice.

[@20-NYC]

I appreciated these Disney films even more than the popular ones but they have such a meaningful message. Great music and moving.

[@wizardwarrior713]

Loretta's talent is in pop rock songs (high, fun & energetic) and Sam's is in inspiring ballads (kinda lower, but beautifully flowing) I love when she discovers that. This DCOM ending is the BEST! It's so much better than the ending of HSM, Camp Rock, and Starstruck, don't you agree? Disney Channel thinks, "ok, we need sad breakups & a happy, partying ending." But Pixel Perfect is different. It has more than that.

[@sydneyreid7401]

Yes

[@wildsilverfox3149]

Every now and then I always come back to this song and this movie. It was definitely ahead of its time. Disney is all about the 💰 now days. Don’t make em like they used to and don’t do good music like they used to. Pixel perfect was well..perfect. They should defo do something with this. 💛✨

[@taylorfesmire407]

This song had 12 year old me REALLY going through it 😓😞 But seriously, I think this movie was ahead of its time for Disney! I didn’t always like Disney Channel Original Movies, but this one always stuck with me, especially this song. I had it on my first MP3 player and listened to it well into my teens lol. I’m 28 now and re-discovering how good/meaningful these lyrics are...

[@punkfunk3737]

Someone should make a petition so Disney would release this movie on DVD!!!!!!

[@clarknaima2880]

I would always think about doing that but they wont listen.and its said because you'll be lucky when you catch it on disney because if you missed it thats it. Unless you want to hear a crappy version on youtube

[@19Liana96]

I thought it was

[@amandagrigsby4555]

+Lindsey Drennan right now you can watch them all on the Disney Channel website!!

[@maryj7423]

It isn't??? That's too bad!!!

[@ericjones149]

It’s 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣. We need to protest.

[@Monster123421]

Number one underrated song for Disney!!

[@trysometruth]

About a dozen years ago I was cleaning around the house when I heard this song coming out my daughter's bedroom. (Pixel Perfect had just aired for the first time on Disney and my oldest daughter had begged me to get the soundtrack CD.) I stopped in my tracks and listened to the song and it was surprisingly good; a beautiful lyric and great music. I walked to her door and leaned in and asked her what was playing. She said "This is the Pixel Perfect soundtrack - now you know why I wanted it so badly!" I didn't know that a Disney TV movie could be such a thoughtful and moving work -- they really had some serious talent involved, clearly.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

trysometruth I recorded this movie on VHS. My mom came to check in on me and saw me crying. She asks what's wrong. I said she died and her friend is singing her memory. I hear song this alot since my mom died in 2005

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

My mom never saw this movie and had no idea why I was crying. When my friend's dad died I heard this song in my head when I heard the news. 4 years after this movie aired and forgot it

[@andre77ification]

Even to this day this song gives me goosebumps. One of the few songs that makes me want to cry.

[@winterxnights3768]

ahhh memories. crying at this scene because I remember this was basically when Loretta died... her voice is lovely with this song. omg I miss old Disney.

[@clarknaima2880]

And they said that she was there singing with sam

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

I know exactly how you feel. Because I feel the same way about this scene. And long live the old school Disney

[@peachygoogles6359]

Not even Camis assets are goin to get ya any attention... And since we already imported Cameran and Cam’ron we know who you mean. I can’t stand you. All you had to do was stay out of my way and leave my brothers alone and nothing bad would’ve happened. You ruined everything. I hope someday someone can make you watch daily homevideos of all the bad stuff ya done while the rest of your peoples have a nice dinner without you criticizing everything they do and using other people to make them feel down. Like for example, no one is going to negatively critique (when they’re not involved in any way) a rap or song until you show them how to because you’re a delusional hating wench and I’m Ali’Caylah ya dumb broad enough with your technical rhetorical bs you don’t know real rhetõric and I saw some of your college stuff it was very important that I let you know I found your paper to be shallow and pedantic. Just admit to YOUR nonbrothers from PIRU N’ BONE that you and Themma have been in a pacto de zomodaraffsaz exageradasss to ruin your family’s life and for what? For no reason! Then you’d send your mom to the store for cheese and hide the cheese or toss it so that she could think she was losing her mind

This song popped up in my mind today when it started raining. Missed this movie 💙

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

This song was really touching and it gave me the feels. Matter of fact, it still does. Wish I could go back to these times when Disney didn’t end all this.

unpopular opinion: this was the best dcom Disney ever made

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

It was. It was a meaningful movie

[@quentinfields9375]

I could never pick just 1 to be my favorite but it’s very high up there. I really wish I could time travel just to spend 1 day watching this disney channel.

[@JACCO20082012]

I don't know if it was the best but it's certainly in the top 10 with Susie Q and Don't Look Under the Bed.

[@metawolf987]

The scene in Sam's mind 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. Well, this and Minutemen, but that had lesser emotional impact because it was all boys. Such a powerful message and life lesson for children and adults alike. And this song was such a perfect and natural follow-up to that scene. I miss DCOMs like this soooo much :'( . I wish I could show this movie to my niece now that she is older, she was too little to even want to watch a movie like this back when it released. Even if she doesn't connect with the movie like I did, I just wanna be able to say, "that's Leah Pipes, 9 years before she starred on The Originals" xD :3 .

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

Pixel perfect showed you can make a mature movie that kids understand and still is fun but has a lesson

[@metawolf987]

@@Truecrimeresearcher224 Yeah, Disney used to do that regularly with their DCOMs. But all that changed after High School Musical. As far as I can remember, Invisible Sister was the only throwback to older DCOMs. With the Original Series', Ultra Violet And Black Scorpion seems to be a throwback to older shows, but the modern social media culture is bogging it down I think.

[@heladodefresa6037]

Now I know why everytime I finished that movie I felt a hole in my heart. It's because this movie was beyond other Disney's films, the plot was for "mature" audience one way or another.

[@clarknaima2880]

I feel like crying when i watch this movie and when i hear the songs. In the middle its sad because shes like i wished you never made her and then loretta looks. And at the end its even sad because we look in her mind and see everything is broken and loretta is gone
