Disney Channel Original Movies

“Teen Beach Movie”

By far, one of the most popular Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMS) of my generation is “Teen Beach Movie”. A spoof on the classic “West Side Story”, except this time featuring a feud between surfers and bikers. This movie is goofy, sweet, and overall just a fun time. It’s the perfect summer flick, and by far one of the most defining movies of my generation. 

“Lemonade Mouth”

The introduction to rap and alternative music for my generation, “Lemonade Mouth” is a classic movie about a band of students who seemingly have nothing in common aside from the fact that they met in detention. This movie is one of my all time favorites. Featuring great music, a good story, and an even better band of characters, “Lemonade Mouth” is truly the perfect DCOM.

“Hannah Montana: The Movie”

I grew up as a die hard Hannah Montana fan, so with the release of “Hannah Montana: The Movie” in 2009 I was absolutely mesmerized. This movie is filled with good music, such as “Hoedown Throwdown”, great characters, and a dynamic story. This movie is fun and will absolutely mesmerize young viewers, as well as bring an air of nostalgia to older viewers such as myself. 

“High School Musical”

My all time favorite film series, “High School Musical” is what truly defined my childhood. These movies may be a little too old for kids now, having been released in 2006, but they are classic in my books. They feature wonderfully cringey story lines, a tale of high school romance, and music that will get stuck in your head for ages.
