Pixel Perfect - Notice Me

[@Kiya4ever]

when this first came out I just thought ricky ullman was such a beautiful creature.

[@katiegates23]

Bhaha there was this kid in fifth grade who looked like him. Sucks Ricky Ulman got less hot.

[@tracy-anncommock6390]

yea he was, loved him in Phil of the future, and that evil Pim Diffy lol!!

[@Kiya4ever]

Oh yes of course, but back then he had to go by Ricky :/ smh disney

[@alteredperceptions3813]

Ricky looks like a pinto bean now..

[@jalissaoneal5808]

Michaela, we all did girl! i was convinced I'd be Mrs. Ullman one day lmao

[@toughangel17]

i don't understand why she is doing ballet and backflips during a band performance

[@Tigerheiress]

toughangel17 like could she be anymore extra like she just did an effing battmatte in the middle of the song. And the hair flip at the beginning like im lost

[@secrethumanmachine]

so u can notice her

[@FlyyGirl1000]

Lol the hologram bitch did say she was perfect, so she had to outshine the band & do shit that you typically don’t see everyday

[@RedStorm1392]

toughangel17 I never understood that as a kid lol

[@ChristheDunce]

It’s AI going rouge... It must be stopped!

[@Johannalee13]

Why are these old disney songs suddenly so relateable?

[@joannanidey227]

right?

[@marskeins]

Jo :p for real tho

[@leonelcarita]

We grew up

[@tatianalee4131]

Just your perception

[@zeusa4048]

MAN!!!

[@sassy54546]

Disney needs to replay this instead of the other lame movies they come up with now.

[@SpicePrincess1890]

+sassy54546 A lot of their old movies have such powerful, realistic meanings and could actually help a lot of kids today. Tru Confessions, Pixel Perfect, Buffalo Dreams...

[@musiclover_kb4913]

+Spice Princess Got that right. I watched Tru Confessions for the first time ever last night, and it was excellent.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

***** Yeah well I never heard of it when I was growing up. It was one of many Disney Channel movies that I didn't know about as a kid. Hell I didn't even know Shia Labeouf did anything for Disney Channel outside of Even Stevens until 2 and a half years ago.

[@SpicePrincess1890]

Kobe Busia Then you, my friend had a deprived childhood.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

Spice Princess During that time, I was living overseas in West Africa, and in Ethiopia. During those times, I would only come to the US in the summer. I didn't grow up in the US my whole life, so that explains a great deal of why I missed out on so many Disney Channel movies growing up. The only ones I actually remember from before I turned 10-11 years old were Smart House, Alley Cats Strike, and Miracle on Lane 2. Most of my memories of Disney Channel movies come from the High School Musical series, Cheetah Girls series, Stuck In The Suburbs, Read it and Weep, Life is Ruff, Wendy Wu, Jump In!, movies like that.

[@SosOBadass]

I've always wanted a full version of Sam singing this.

[@ericjones149]

Yesssssss!!!!!!

[@retrospective6209]

Sam sings a lot better than Loretta

[@franciscojimenez4974]

We were robbed

[@lurategh]

haha I remember even as a kid I thought the stage moves were too much

[@camillewilliams7646]

They still are.

[@m00dsw1ngs]

honestly though hahaha

[@autumntrotter952]

Noone thought it was suspect that she was doing flips and was singing without a mic

[@Gerthie2x]

Bruh 😂

[@JUStCALLMEZIMM]

man.. 90s and early 2000s Disney movies where so good.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

+JUStCALLMEZIMM I tried to find this movie, but it was nowhere to be found

[@anedwards6740]

+Kobe Busia they have a bunch of them on the Disney app

[@musiclover_kb4913]

***** Isn't 2004 still considered pretty early in the 2000's?

[@musiclover_kb4913]

***** Mid 2000's would start with 2005. That's how I see it.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

***** The 2000's consist of a decade, from 2000-2010, so why would the middle start with 2003? The middle period of a decade always starts with the midpoint. Anyway it's obvious we're not going to agree, so u have a nice day.

[@KittyKatt69]

When I fell in love with Ricky Ullman lol. I used to watch this only to stare at his handsome self, but I also felt bad for Sam.

[@DiamanteDea]

Raviv

[@KittyKatt69]

This movie was on last week

[@KolossalYouth]

+Diamante Dea Back then, he went by Ricky

[@knicholsch]

Yess. Phil of the future. 😍

[@Tigerheiress]

Nubian Goddess oo hes so cute

[@wizardwarrior713]

This is a good scene because it proves that though Loretta rocks at "Nothing's Wrong with Me", she sucks at singing something actually relatable. Being "perfect", she has no idea what insecurity and crushes are, no idea what she's singing about. She's so happy and flirty at something that's supposed to be down-to-earth- she even does a flip out of nowhere! But people love it cuz they want "perfect", not real. Oh man I love this movie. Such a good message, as well as a cool story concept.

[@fantasyfiction101]

My generation: Pixel Perfect Next Generation: How to Build a Better Boy

[@danilang3504]

fantasyfiction101 Pixel Perfect, my generation, was by FAR better.

[@SuperLovebug8]

Pixel perfect was and is still the best

[@ilovecoikies5848]

fantasyfiction101 pixel perfect is waaaaaaaaaay better than how to Build a boy

[@ruhsaanjones4750]

😂😂😂

[@FranciaMichelle]

When this came out I was too young to understand what it actually meant. They used Sam's voice but made it seem like the other girl was singing because she's skinny, blonde and pretty, just like today. There are a lot of normal looking people like Sam writing songs and singing but they never get noticed because they don't have "the look".

[@sonikagill9814]

Francia Michelle IMO Sam was prettier then Loretta facial features wise !

[@FranciaMichelle]

Sonika Gill 7 years later and I’m 25. And nah bro. Both were pretty girls. Period.

[@Jayla_C30]

Francia Michelle yes, exactly!

[@sidekick929]

Francia Michelle I’m 23 years old and I just now learned that the same voice was used for both girls I swear I never noticed

[@christina7215]

I have brown hair and all my sisters are blonde.... all the lads at my school I liked were blonde. Natural blonde people are definitely beautiful.. I always wished I was blonde naturally, still do.

[@kaylamcnabb3329]

The older you get the more your in love with the old movies and shows on Disney

[@lahiruthomassooriyabandara9405]

Such wonderful memories

[@B.Coin9]

"A hidden note, a secret crush" That is my favorite line.

[@taytubeofficial]

The swooshing during the backflip kills me

[@josephborynski3910]

*Disney Employee:* "Hey, guys, I finished working on that song for Pixel Perfect, but I just realized that it sounds a lot like 'Complicated' by Avril Lavigne." *Disney Executive:* "No, problem, we'll just hang a giant poster of Avril Lavigne in Sam's bedroom. That way, we can imply that Sam is heavily influenced by Avril Lavigne in her songwriting."

[@sophie-pw7eh]

I don't find the similarities but take a like because we love Avril here💗

[@supershifra]

😂

[@annaratliff545]

I got more of a Ashlee Simpson vibe from this song

[@ElizabethDiaz-nl5li]

I watched the movie again and noticed Sam had two Avril posters in her room lol

[@janeborstad2191]

Also always reminds me of Strong Enough by Sheryl Crow for some reason

[@kut_throat_kris]

OMFG I knew Ashlee Simpson's pieces of me reminded me of something

[@zerudez]

omfg IKR. i was just listening to that song and knew it sounded so familiar.

[@KolossalYouth]

kriselda garza Lol all these songs from 2004 sounded the same.

[@jennikifm2]

It does sound similar to this. And I love that song too. Though it’s a shame that Ashely doesn’t sing the song. She lip sings. (Or is it syncs?)

[@jamilabrown6093]

Jennifer Poole she sings the song she just didn’t sing it that one time on snl

[@Lysieclarke]

STOP IT 😭😭😭

[@FlattsFan183]

I feel like that hologram is just way, way, way too bubbly for this song. Like, this is not a super happy tune; it's basically a lament about unrequited love, and she's bouncing around and grinning like she's at a beauty pageant? And the audition guy doesn't think this is weird?

[@Decadence13666]

+FlattsFan183 I thought that the dance moves were weird in general, not just for that song but in general. I just cant get passed them even today years later.

[@DallasBall]

+FlattsFan183 That's kind of the point though. She is a computer program she could never understand what unrequited love is, or feel it.

[@Decadence13666]

+Dallas Ball I never even thought of it this way but you may be right. She is just a computer program she knows nothing about real emotions just what she has been programed to know about. Thank you for giving me a diffrent perspective on it.

[@caseyj5637]

+FlattsFan183 the cover changes the meaning.

[@trysometruth]

+FlattsFan183 Of course, that's the point. And the audition guy? He's looking for one thing: does the performance "pop"? Can he market this band? Will it pull people in? The meaning of the song is window dressing for him... it's great if it's a good lyric, but he's all about the $$$$.

[@KolossalYouth]

Notice Me and all of the other songs from the movie actually were sung (and written!) By Spencer Redford (Loretta). She had released a CD the same year this movie came out and they used her songs.

[@janiebear8907]

Jayde Slayde really? How strange

[@calebramos7902]

Daaaaamnnn that's awesome

[@trysometruth]

And.... Spencer Redford doesn't seem to explicitly get credit for her songs (credited to the Zetta Bytes if credited at all) and... she seems to have fully retired to point that she almost could be said to have disappeared 😶

[@ThickBarbie-qu6ep]

That's not true Spencer Redford sang the songs but she didn't write them. Just watch the movie again and rewatch the ending credits. Nothing Wrong With Me is written and produced by two men Denny Weston Jr. and Ty Stevens and Notice Me was written by Mladen Haze and Lyle Oliver. Get Real is Written and produced by Jamie Houston and When the Rain Falls was written and produced by Jamie Houston

[@DeathBecomesH3r]

Was i the only one that cried at the end when Loretta's spirit thingy had to leave and she took over Samantha's body so she could feel the rain for the first time. Ugh, i seriously blubbered like a baby lol

[@cchh1]

I remember I liked this movie but I hated how that DAMN PIXEL danced around the stage

[@xoxSelenaGomezFanxox]

CHL. I'm just realizing that now... 😂

[@shardaecotton8926]

Ikr that damn pixel freaked me out. Til this day she still creep me out. Mainly she annoys me to no end.

[@sophie-pw7eh]

The song is sad but she's still dancing around full of happiness and pretty weird moves, omg akgbkfbf

[@jakethepillowsnake4098]

Ricky Ullman's character: Huh. I wonder why Sam isn't happy with having Loretta in the band. Sam: *literally writes a song called "notice me"*

[@schrdngrskat3847]

Yeah, he was so oblivious. He was nodding along, smiling at Loretta while Sam was singing to him 😭😭

[@Naomiiiii]

I knew I recognized her from something! She's awesome in The Originals!

[@Tgmb321]

I almost shit myself when I made the connection

[@Barbzzybooks]

Tgmb321 and Twilight.

[@FitnessSweets]

Naomi Frye Every time I saw her in something, I'm like, "It's the chick from this movie!"

[@KurtCobainsMicrophone]

Barbie Ann She wasn't in twilight?

[@Barbzzybooks]

Yes she was. She played Irene. The denali sister that snitched on Bella and Edward in Breaking Dawn part 2

[@markitaoliver2173]

Omfg I miss this disney

[@caseyj5637]

We get it, you can do ballet.

[@TiyaBabiiee]

LMAO!

[@Tigerheiress]

[@zeusa4048]

Lmfao she was a great performer

[@jessicalarson6358]

I was 10 years old when this movie came out. Am I the only one that likes the acoustic version better?

[@cerealrocks03]

no I like the acoustic version too

[@xoxSelenaGomezFanxox]

[@devilishly0angelic]

haha i was 8 when this came out... crazy i still know all the words to this song

I was 4. lol.

[@rashawnhayes2512]

I'm about to cry my eyes out... seriously!!!! I really miss the old days.. wish I can go back... but at least I have memories.

[@noon3d]

How about now

[@boys_and_the_booze5104]

You can tell they modeled Loretta's character after Britney Spears.

[@DanicaDelRey]

I remember downloading this song off lime wire and then listening to songs off my mp3 on the bus to school everyday!! ahhh child hood memories

[@ericjones149]

Yesss! And that song Sam sang at the end. I know it by Soul, not by Heart. 😭😭🖤💙🖤💙

[@varictess]

[@andreevans8130]

Best memories of my life as a kid was these Disney movies . 90s kid !!!

[@miguelcoronel9883]

so i was randomly singing this song & i was like "where have i heard this song before"? so here i am lol. pixel perfect was my fave childhood movie ❤ diesney was the bomb back then.

[@isabellepaisan21]

this part actually makes me angry because its Sam's song

[@akeelahtf9845]

I wish they had a full version of Sam!!!!! Her part gave me chills and was my fav

[@emilyparr2747]

Loretta's version kinda has this alanis morisette vibe. Love it

[@grandsextile]

I still knew all of these words??????

[@angiecycy4630]

Wow I had forgotten about this movie 😭😭😭 I want to take a weekend out to rewatch Disney old school movies

[@16050390]

On May 27th, 2016 Disney Channel will be doing a 4 day long DCOM movie marathon of 100 of their movies old and new

[@ThePrincessCH]

I think Sam is the better choice for this song. She seems to have more of a disposition for it.

[@GreenBanana675]

Christine Huang Watch the movie and you will know why she didn't sing it... You must be young..

[@alliewinkler4689]

Viewing With Telly I think what they meant is that they liked Sam’s version better and not that they didn’t see it

[@carteranimationz2897]

What's interesting is that this movie is so real in the face that the music industry is all about appearance and imagine, Same clearly had talent and can sing but the hologram with her movements and looks received the attention

[@ThePrincessCH]

@@GreenBanana675 I've seen it, I just think the song sounds better from Sam.

[@klausherondale6926]

Sam plays cami in The Originals

[@SuperLovebug8]

Absolutely one of my favorites from DCOM it's just so damn real and powerful. Especially this song when Sam sings it you feel her sorrow but the blonde is too happy when she sings it.

[@josephhernandez5986]

I miss my childhood 😢 very good memories with these disney movies. I remember every Friday night they would put on a Disney movie and I would always look forward to it after school.

[@boolash15]

Omg she plays Cami from the Originals :) ♡♡♡

[@carmenc3473]

I was like she looks so familiar now I know! You're right that is her.... who would have thought lol

[@boolash15]

[@roboppi6368]

Poor sam. When I was younger I thought she was just an obnoxious brat. But now I get it. No wonder she got mad. Those songs were meaningful to her. It was part of her soul. And the only way for someone to hear them was for some hologram to cheapen them and just turn them into generic fake plastic.

[@JACCO20082012]

I remember wanting to learn this song on the guitar so bad in high school for my guitar class. Never got it quite right.

[@justlegal21]

I like how the girl sings it at the beginning way better than the actual version....sounds way better and her voice is amazing..anybody knows how to get the first acoustic version?

[@colinyates1991]

For all the people complaining about Sams attitude look at it. Yes she’s happy they are successful but look, she used to be the lead and now she’s forced to be back up. She did a lot to throw herself at rosco who was supposed to be her BFF, but he kinda started paying too much attention to Loretta who is supposedly perfect all bc rosco hits a few buttons and makes her that way. She felt Loretta was not only taking her spot in the band, but also her crush and her BFF so easily, I mean when he said Sam wrote it for Loretta, she got so mad bc she didn’t wanna fight but obviously it was for her about her crush on rosco possibly or also just not feeling noticed bc they world... not knowing that deep inside Loretta was also jealous of sam

[@colinyates1991]

And I think that’s what this movie is about, 1) be comfortable being imperfect bc that’s what makes you, you 2) being perfect isn’t what it seems. Jut bc you think someone has it easy and all together doesn’t mean that nothing is wrong bc it still can be even if you don’t see it

[@nicollettes4665]

Did they ever release this to dvd because I would buy this? This was one of my favorite DCOMs

[@emmashuffle6457]

Am I the only who would love to hear the complete version of this song with the full acoustic and singing like in the beginning instead of the pop version. The first version I would actually listen to! On another note, I loved this movie as a kid as well as many other old DCO movies! Wish Disney channel would start playing the old movies!!! I’d still watch them at 25 with my kids if they did!

[@kimberlybeth]
