Truly, Disney Channel Original Movies are unique creations that have over two decades of history. These television films cover almost every topic or occasion, especially music and lots of basketball, sometimes together! Most of the movies feature a lead character in middle or high school who is presented with a specific challenge in the midst of growing up.
As much as fans love these movies, their plot details don't always add up. In increasing order of ridiculousness, enjoy a refresher on these zany movies. Then, feel free to check them out on Disney+!
10 Camp Rock
Even certain fans of Camp Rock's (2008) soundtrack can admit that this musical movie is quite difficult to follow. Mitchie (Demi Lovato) is an aspiring singer/songwriter who gets the chance to go to a music camp when her mother is hired as the caterer. The whole plot of the movie revolves around Mitchie lying about her identity so that she can be cool.
Of course, the teen is discovered by the mean girl, and all the lies unravel. Mitchie is magically still able to perform in the Final Jam and gain the admiration of Joe Jonas, who plays a fictionalized version of himself named Shane.
9 The Cheetah Girls: One World
The Cheetah Girls: One World (2008) is generally less liked than the first two Cheetah movies for one reason: it doesn't have the talents of Raven as Galleria. There are other aspects of the movie that make it kind of ridiculous, even though it can be fun to watch. Chanel, Aqua, and Dorinda go on a big audition and think they're going to be in a Hollywood movie.
They mistake Bollywood for Hollywood, though, so they're going to India. While it's nice to see Disney pay attention to another culture, the plot isn't that convincing and is a little predictable.
8 Pixel Perfect
Raviv Ullman is known fondly for his role as Phil on Disney Channel's Phil of the Future, but he was also in a 2004 DCOM. Pixel Perfect centers on best friends Roscoe and Samantha. Roscoe (Ullman) wants to help Sam find the perfect lead singer for her band. After no luck with auditions, Roscoe uses his technological capabilities to create a hologram to join the band. The hologram, Loretta Modern, finds her way into Roscoe's heart and makes Sam intensely jealous.
When Sam falls off the stage and loses consciousness, Loretta ends up inside Sam's brain. The hologram plot was much more believable in Smart House, but it's a little creepy and almost too out there for this movie.
7 Radio Rebel
Radio Rebel (2012) got some press in 2020 when fans started poking fun at Debby Ryan's way of acting like a shy girl. Ryan plays Tara, a high school student who gets incredibly nervous talking to others.
In a premise that doesn't make a ton of sense, Tara has a secret life as a radio show host in which she is known as Radio Rebel. The teen uses her platform to revolutionize the school, and once again, the mean girl tries to ruin everything.
6 You Lucky Dog
You Lucky Dog (1998) is Kirk Cameron's one and only DCOM, and he plays a defunct dog therapist named Jack. Jack's usual mind-reading powers have dwindled, but he still knows exactly what a dog named Lucky is thinking. In a strange twist of events, Lucky is set to become the heir of a large inheritance.
Jack, the dog therapist, gets to become Lucky's trustee, but disgruntled family members step in to try to take back what they think is rightly their cut. This is the second DCOM ever, and it is interesting to watch, but it is also confusing.
5 Hatching Pete
In Hatching Pete (2009), Jason Dolley and Mitchel Musso play best pals in high school. Pete (Dolley) is a more soft-spoken guy, and Cleatus (Musso) is the school mascot.
When Cleatus realizes that he is allergic to the giant chicken suit, Pete agrees to play the mascot, and that switch-up becomes a more permanent arrangement. Also starring Tiffany Thornton and Josie Loren, the movie's humor comes from the fact that everyone thinks Cleatus is still the guy in the suit when it is really Pete. As DCOMs go, there are much more palatable and realistic plots out there.
4 Return To Halloweentown
Speaking of Halloween, Return to Halloweentown (2006) is easily the most notoriously disliked Halloween film Disney Channel made. The plot takes Marnie Piper to college at Witch University, but every fan knows that Marnie is no longer played by Kimberly J. Brown here.
Nothing against Sara Paxton, but it just isn't the same without the actress who played Marnie three times already. The storyline also invents new villains that aren't all that convincing, and viewers have very mixed feelings about Marnie dating Lucas Grabeel's character, Ethan.
3 Girl Vs. Monster
While most spooky Disney Channel Original Movies are pretty easy to watch, Girl vs. Monster (2012) doesn't fit that category. Olivia Holt plays Skylar, the daughter of monster hunters. She is mainly focused on singing, and she has no idea about the monsters until she accidentally unleashes one.
Olivia Holt is great opposite Luke Benward, but the special effects aren't very believable, the point of the movie isn't that compelling, and it isn't very scary in comparison to other Disney Channel Halloween fare.
2 Stepsister From Planet Weird
Stepsister from Planet Weird (2000) stars Courtnee Draper as Megan Larson and Tamara Hope as Ariel Cola. Megan and Ariel are about to become stepsisters, but there's one small caveat: Ariel and her dad are aliens.
While some Disney Channel movies can get away with such fantastical elements, this one doesn't quite pull it off. The film is a favorite for some longtime DCOM fans, but it's really far-fetched and doesn't necessarily have that rewatchable quality that other films from its era have.
1 Teen Beach 2
In 2013, Disney Channel dipped into the 1960s beach party genre with Teen Beach Movie. The first was a creative idea, putting two twenty-first century teens into a 1960s film called Wet Side Story (a terrible parody title of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story). The main characters, Brady (Ross Lynch) and Mack (Maia Mitchell), return for Teen Beach 2 (2015) and realize that Mack's necklace is still stuck inside the movie.
This time, the movie's characters leave the screen and get a taste of Mack and Brady's world. While the music is catchy and the characters are fun, the plot is a little silly this time around.
