Movies

 * Notes


 * 1) Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure was released on home video on April 19, 2011, but it aired on Disney Channel on May 22, 2011 as a Disney-branded "Disney Channel Original Movie".
 * 2) While Tangled: Before Ever After effectively serves as the one-hour pilot to mh:besttvshows:Tangled: the Series, it was advertised as a "Disney Channel Original Movie" by Disney Channel.

Notable non-Disney Channel Original Movie films
The following films were not originally premiered under the "Disney Channel Original Movie" label, though they were sometimes later promoted as such:


 * Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars (March 26, 2010)
 * 16 Wishes (June 25, 2010)

Why It Used to Rock

 * 1) The idea of having a movie division for a television channel is a great one, and shows us one of the reasons why Disney is so amazing.
 * 2) What inspired Disney Channel to have this idea was the films that aired on the channel before this division was made, like Tiger Town, Love Leads the Way, The Undergrads, The Parent Trap II, III and Hawaiian Honeymoon (all decent sequels to the original Parent Trap), The Christmas Visitor, Rock N Roll Mom, Chips, the War Dog, Mark Twain and Me, all 3 Not Quite Human films, Spies, On Promised Land, The Four Diamonds, The Little Riders, and The Paper Brigade. The success of these movies have put this idea into motion and it’s awesome, so we have to give a shout out to these TV movies for making this division possible.
 * 3) Their first film, Under Wraps, was decent and a good way to start off the Disney Channel Movies.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of their films were bad, like The Thirteenth Year, Zapped! (2014), Frenemies (2012) Freaky Friday (2018), and Kim Possible (2019 live-action).
 * 2) Depending on your view, their movies can be too nonsensical and cheesy.
 * 3) Their films eventually began to decline in quality.
 * 4) Under Wraps is supposed to be a comedy, but even then the movie has some pretty dark moments (the opening scene where the heroes watch a horror movie featuring a man getting stabbed in the head with a knife, a scene where a salesman has a dagger in his stomach, and a scene where the heroes bind and gag the mafiosi villains with organs).
