D.C.O.M

I remember when I would get so excited to watch the premiere of a new Disney Channel Original Movie. My friends would come over and we would have a huge sleep over and watch the movie like 5 times that night, because they kept replaying them. I was just thinking about all of the movies and I wanted to talk about them and remember my childhood.

Some of my favorites included...

• Halloweentown - This may be my absolute favorite Disney movie. I mean just finding out you have magic one day, that would be so awesome.
• Zenon - I just looked it up and this movie is supposed to take place in 2049...if this is how our future will look I am totally living on a space ship, even if I'll be 55 then
• Smart House- Oh my god I wanted a smart house so bad!!
• Up, Up, and Away - This movie was actually kind of lame but for some reason I loved it. Again, one day just having super powers!
• The Color of Friendship - This was such a touching movie, they really should play it more often cause it is timeless
• Rip Girls - I really love this movie, I wanted to take up surfing after seeing it. Clearly I live in the perfect place for this to happen
• Quints - I think I liked this only because they girl who was in Halloweentown was in it
• Luck of the Irish - I wanted to be Irish after watching this movie
• Tru Confessions - This movie was intense. Very much unlike a normal Disney movie but so moving
• The Kim Possible movie - I loved this show and was so sad that it was ending even though I remember this movie not being as good as the show
• Tiger Cruise - Another really moving movie. So sad and really well done
• Buffalo Dreams - I remember being totally in love with the Native American boy in this movie

After these movies I feel like most of the movies went down hill. They aren't really that good or deep as some of the old movies were. It is sad because I feel like most of these movies really taught us things and now they are just a lot of fluff and no meaning.

Which when you think about it, it's sad. Adults say that the younger generations have lower attention spans and do not care about the world around them, but they are feeding this kind of fluff to them. I mean a ten year old is not going to willingly turn on the news, but if you put the news into a venue for them to enjoy, you are not only teaching them but entertaining them.

Well this took a weird turn, but it is interesting. And I feel like this is happening in a lot of different ways not only these movies but TV shows on many channels.
