The Even Steven Movie and Cadet Kelly were both great movies growing up watching in the summer. 😢 Time sure does fly by fast.

[@jaclynsanture6643]

I enjoy 'Cadet Kelly' its funny and heartwarming

[@thomasbowers1210]

I sure do miss Christie Carlson Romano!

[@aliceramdom.s]

I did watch the even stevens tv show

[@RealTalk1411]

It feels good to see Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off on the list. That film was highly underrated and had lots of underlying tones and messages. A Top 20 List and Going To The Mat didn't make it. Smart House only got an honorable mention. They should've made the list for sure. No Minutemen and Double Teamed. Double Teamed didn't even get an honorable mention. What about Stuck In The Suburbs and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior. A DCOM based on Chinese culture. How monumental that was.

[@kellyl13]

Yeah, Smart House was probably the only truly creepy movie they did.

[@aliceramdom.s]

what about "mum's date with a vampire" ?

[@trinaq]

Yes, "Jump In" was always my jam as a kid. It's a shame that it doesn't receive more recognition, and Corbin Bleu is great in the lead role, playing well off his real life father.

[@saarahali1512]

I really liked Jump In

[@Omar-wq9dz]

I always liked Jump In too

[@ConnorMiller417]

This brings back so much childhood memories. Disney shows today are a joke compared to these that my generation grew up with. Back then, you couldn’t wait to come home from school to watch Disney shows. I miss those days. 😢

[@jimbo9208]

there not jokes just you dont like them

[@aliceramdom.s]

what about "mum's date with a vampire" ?

[@hilarywitt]

I’m so glad Tru Confession made this list. Shia LaBeouf needs more credit for that movie. As someone with a mental disability, that movie pulls at my heart when Eddie talks about how he’s tired of being different.

[@FlagCutie]

This movie was the first time I saw a usually comedic actor go for a serious role and totally blow it out of the park.

[@aliceramdom.s]

I don't like the word "disability" at all. so you should have used "learning difficulties" or "special needs"

[@jacobasuncion3132]

This was a good and definitely brought back some nostalgia list I would also add: Johnny Tsunami (1999) Alley Cat Strike (2000) Right on Track (2003) Full-Court Miracle (2003) Minutemen (2008) Dadnapped (2009) Hatching Pete (2009) Den Brother (2010) How to Build a Better Boy (2014) Invisible Sister (2015)

[@yucabeth]

Good till hatching Pete and down

No I remember it too

[@Rockmanbalboa]

That's a classic

[@maggiebulloch9536]

[@juliannagoodwin2875]

My #1 underrated DCom. It introduced me to Will Fridle before I watched Boy Meets World. I didn’t know he was Ron Stoppable until years later.

[@Enbydexterous7]

I still get the song stuck in my head every now and then 🤣🤣🤣

I am literally crying! My friends and I always talk about these movies and all these young kids are looking at us like we are crazy! I am now going to watch all of these again! ❤

[@aliceramdom.s]

😶

[@fandomshark]

What I love about “The Even Stevens Movie” is you don’t need to know the show to be able to watch it. It works perfectly well as a fun, stand alone film.

[@aliceramdom.s]

I watched the tv show before the flim so

[@willieg7895]

I'm surprised that "gotta kick it up" didn't make the list. That's one of the only Disney original movies I remember outside of Cadet Kelly and Even Stevens.

[@aliceramdom.s]

what about "mum's date with a vampire" ?

[@ShadowMage-]

Smart House, Moms got a date with a vampire, phantom of the megaplex, cadet Kelly, even Steven's movie, luck of the Irish, Eddie's million dollar cook off, and jump in was my favorites to watch as a kid. My dad loves jump in and wants to watch every once in a while. I dont know where they would be placed but Dont look under the bed, now you see it, my date with the president's daughter, wendy wu homecoming warrior, and minute men were my favorites as well

[@aliceramdom.s]

it is "mum's date with a vampire"

[@SarahSquarah]

The Color of Friendship came at an important time in my adolescence and was truly educational for me. I love it to this day!

[@FlagCutie]

It makes me cry every time.

[@aliceramdom.s]

what about "mum's date with a vampire" ?

[@jacarriusdoesthings]

Jump In was one of my favorite DCOM movies ever made.

[@Leesers05]

I'm kinda happy about this! I grew up on ALOT of these movies but Right on Track, Ally Cat strike, Minutemen & sooo much more deserved to be on there. I also was VERY happy that Tiger Cruise was mentioned cause it's one of my favorite movies. Now I want to rewatch some of these movies!!

[@dragonfirenetwork4554]

Jump In truly an underrated gem with some banging songs

[@Chloe4656.]

Definitely underrated

[@lucy-louthebeagle4511]

When I was in colorguard in high school with 2 of my childhood friends. They are twins and both had jokingly told us the reason we salute is because of Cadet Kelly. And I don't remember exactly which twin said it but one of them went "Thanks Cadet Kelly" and it was a prominent film for all 3 of us to reference while in color guard. I loved watching it growing up and watching it as an adult again brings back memories of happier times

[@dustinkopperman6797]

The Luck of the Irish and Starstruck and Jump In slipped under radar and underrated on TV or on the DVDs or on Disney Plus

[@linwheeler]

I loved “The Other Me” starring Andy Lawrence and “Model Behavior” that Justin Timberlake starred in!!!

[@PHSDM104]

Model Behavior wasn't a DCOM. It was a TV movie that premiered on ABC.

[@linwheeler]

@@PHSDM104 regardless I still loved it. However it was still produced by Disney.

​@@PHSDM104 a what?

[@aliceramdom.s]

[@PHSDM104]

@@linwheeler Not saying it wasn't good. It just doesn't fit this category.

[@tastebudswithtariq2330]

Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off is the one underrated movie that I remember. I like it. It's a disney channel teen drama that looks like it's based on a Food Network Star's origin story.

[@aditbiju3717]

I used to watch Cadet Kelly and I actually enjoyed that movie.

[@MovieFan34]

Anyone else also remember Jumping Ship, Toothless, The Jennie Project, Rip Girls, The Other Me, Susie Q., Hounded, Camp Rock, Right on Track, Get A Clue, You Lucky Dog, The Scream Team, Up Up and Away, Going to the Mat, Twas the Night, The Paper Brigade, Stepsister from Planet Weird, Miracle in Lane 2, Now You See It, The Poof Point, Wish Upon a Star, Tuck Everlasting, A Ring of Endless Light, and the original Under Wraps?

[@PHSDM104]

What about Up, Up and Away? It was basically Sky High BEFORE Sky High. Also, The Other Me. I still can't hear Bringin' Da Noise by NSYNC without envisioning that cafeteria scene.

[@aliceramdom.s]

yeah and right then you shouldn't listen to that song

[@klydejohnson7520]

I forgot about mom's got a date with the vampire and. I love smart house❤❤

[@juliescott317]

I watched Brink and Horse Sense over 100 times, also had my roller blades until I was 35....such nostalgia

[@crysvdz]

GOTTA KICK IT UP?!?! As a little Mexican girl when that movie came out, it meant the world to me! I was really hoping it would be on here.

[@animationtap]

The most underrated movie for me has got to radio rebel it reminds me of how much I love Debbie Ryan's performance style and the music on the sound track just makes me smile. Though not many know of it I definitely think more should. My childhood in 1 hour and 30 minutes 😂

[@aliceramdom.s]

what about "mum's date with a vampire" ?

[@JoeyHubbard89]

0:33 Phantom of the Megaplex. Seen this movie more times than I care to count. It’s a mystery film that takes place at a movie theater. A movie mogul like me could never get tired of this. And that speech from Mr. Mickey Rooney? Does it get any better than that? 1:45 Brink! Never seen this one from start to finish, or at all for that matter. But knowing it stars Walter E. Jones from MMPR and Space Cases, who I have met twice so far, definitely makes me wanna check it out for the first time. 2:48 Cadet Kelly. I’ve never seen this one all the way through, but I think it’s time to stop waiting around. I also haven’t seen Get A Clue with Lindsay Lohan from start to finish. I’d like to watch those two films back to back. 3:59 Go Figure. I’ve seen this one at least three or four times and I always enjoy it. 4:59 the Luck of the Irish. I’ve never seen this one all the way through, I used to always catch it in the middle or something. But ever since I saw Final Destination 3 and Halloween Resurrection, I’ve been a huge fan of Ryan Merriman. So it’s time to watch from start to finish. 6:15 Avalon High. Haven’t seen this one yet, although if I’d known that the beautiful Britt Robertson, who would go on to star in The Longest Ride and Tomorrowland was in this film, I’d have watched it a long time ago. 7:27. Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook-Off. now this is one that I definitely never get tired of watching. It’s got a great story about following your dreams and passion, plus I love a good movie with food in it. Although I gotta admit, when I first saw the promos for this movie, I was actually under the impression that it was gonna be a spinoff movie of That’s So Raven because Orlando Brown is in this film and his character on That’s So Raven is also named Eddie, so I thought it was gonna be about him. 8:20. I loved Even Stevens and the movie. It made me a fan of Shia Labeouf and Christy Carlson Romano. That show was just as underrated as the movie. I have actually met Christy Carlson Romano once at a con, and she was super fantastic. 9:34 Read It and Weep. I’ve only seen this movie once, not because I didn’t like it, more like I just gradually forgot about it. I actually love both of the Panabaker sisters and have had the privilege of meeting Danielle once at a con. But I’ve watched Stuck in the Suburbs more than this one, but I think it’s high time for a rewatch. 10:33 Horse Sense. I’ve yet to see this movie, although I did watch the sequel Jumping Ship several times because it was an adventure film, which I enjoy. But after all these years, it’s high time I watched the original film that preceded it. 11:34 You Wish. I’ve only ever caught parts of this movie when it aired on tv. This is basically a modern tale of It’s a Wonderful Life imo. But I need to watch it from the start to better understand it. 12:14 Cow Belles. I watched this movie only once, when it premiered on the channel because I loved Alyson Michalka from Phil of the Future. Strangely I didn’t do the same when Now You See It premiered, which I regret. But yeah it’s time to watch this movie again. 13:03 the Thirteenth Year. I love this movie to the moon and back. I always caught it when it was rerun on the channel. Mermaid movies always fascinate me. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen it. Plus I had a crush on Courtnee Draper from The Jersey. 14:01 Starstruck. I watched that when it premiered but haven’t watched it since, not because I don’t love it, but never caught it on reruns. Sterling Knight from Sonny With a Chance was cool. 15:01 Tiger Cruise. Ah, what a wonderful movie. I remember catching it when it premiered on the channel and fell in love with it. I’ve seen it many times over the years, more than I can count. I actually got to meet Hayden Panettiere earlier this year at a con and I told her how much I love her films and I expressed my condolences over the loss of her brother Jansen, who played little Joey in the film. Looking back, I think the film was actually too short and didn’t put enough emphasis on the relationship between Anthony and his brother Kenny or between Joey and his mom. The most focused relationships were between Maddie and her father Gary; Tina and her sister Grace, and Chuck Horner and his son Danny the cook. Other than that, the movie is fantastic. 16:17 The Color of Friendship. I literally just finally watched this gem of a movie for the first time earlier this week, and all I can say is, why the H did I wait 24 years to watch this fantastic, provocative movie? It’s perfect on so many levels. 17:23 Jump In! I watched this when it premiered and I loved it from start to finish. I really need to watch this one again. It’s a fantastic movie with a great story and a rockin’ soundtrack to back it up. Cue up Push it to the Limit. 18:16 Pixel Perfect. I don’t remember if I saw this when it premiered, but I do remember watching it a lot when it aired in reruns. This movie is so damn awesome. Ricky Ullman was so cool. And the songs, are out of this world. 19:16 Motocrossed. I’ve only seen this one once so far and am about to watch it again right now after I leave this comment. This was an absolutely overlooked movie. It showed that people can and should be able to do whatever they enjoy doing, regardless of gender. It’s a fantastic movie. 20:30 never saw Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire from beginning to end, but it’s definitely something I would enjoy. Maxwell Sheffield from The Nanny playing a vampire? How awesome. Haven’t seen Bad Hair Day but it’s on my watchlist. I’ve watched Smart House about three or four times at least. Still makes me laugh. Quints I haven’t seen from beginning to end, but I do love Kimberly J. Brown from the Halloweentown films so perhaps it’s time to give it a go. 21:52 Tru Confessions. Now this is most definitely one of my most favorite DCOMs of all time. As a man with mental disabilities myself; Aspberger’s Syndrome, ADD, and Bipolar Disorder, I can often relate to how Eddie Walker feels, to be different from everyone else and not feel normal. This movie will always be special to me. Shia my man, this was your best role ever. Here are some honorable mentions I would like to throw in; Rip Girls with Camilla Belle A Ring of Endless Light Stuck In the Suburbs Gotta Kick it Up! Going to the Mat The Other Me The Poof Point Alley Cats Strike Now You See It… Full Court Miracle Right on Track Double Teamed Ready to Run Stepsister from Planet Weird The Jennie Project Buffalo Dreams Life is Ruff Hounded The Scream Team And Miracle in Lane 2

Never understood why Lizzie was the bigger show. I was obsessed with even stevens. It still holds up so well too. From this list Motocrossed was a favorite of mine. Color of friendship was awesome. Mom's got a date i watch every Halloween. Tru confessions deserves number 1 for sure. Shia was amazing. My whole family cried so hard. Don't look under the bed is my other top favorite. Jumping ship i liked more than horse sense. Genius was fun! Obviously Halloweentown was amazing.. shout out to wish upon a star and susie q. I remember obsessing over those two movies. They were premeier films, not originals but i still still think of them that way. They were very risque and so good. 2003 was when it just started getting bad and the writing suffered. I quit watching that year.
