Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Didn't "The Color of Friendship" win an Emmy or something?
South Africans so racist.
My girlfriend is a Disney Channel Original Movie expert and convinced me to watch this one weekend. It's actually really well done and level headed compared to some of the other Disney Channel movies. It doesn't get too goofy or mushy at any point. I would definitely recommend it for kids and teens
Airborne bros
You didn't post this? Edit: Wow the main character looks a lot like Freddie Highmore in that movie.

Hold on, people actually like brink??
And holy shit, Airborne is even worse.

Yeah, a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program. That movie stood out too me for it's acting and storyline before I even knew what good acting was. That and Tru Confessions, the Disney Channel Original Movie where Shia LaBeouf played the mentally handicapped young teen twin brother of the protagonist.
And of the choices in the OP, Blank Check. It was a theatrical release, so it had the bigger budget (and it showed). And my mom bought me the VHS for Blank Check, so that ends that discussion for me right there.
Mother of god, you cannot make a better top 3 DCOM list than this.

Hell yes, I loved Brink.
Was the main actor ever in anything else outside of Disney? He looks so familiar now that I think about it. Maybe he just had one of those faces.
Yeah, when we were ten.
Terrible acting, terrible dialogue, clichéd plot (like we knew that then), but really well done skateboarding sequences. The latter is all a young boy really needed back in the mid-90s to early-00s.

What was that Disney Channel bowling movie?
The one where the girl who was awful at bowling just spin the ball down the lane super slowly so they could win.
That was great too.

This is a great place to brag -
My Dad's fraternity brother Manny Coto directed both The Other Me and Zenon the Zequel
That's my claim to fame

I freaking love Brink. I think the last good original Disney movie though was Jumping Ship.
Alley Cats Strike.

Kaley Cuoco was in that movie...? What? Man, I want to rewatch a bunch of these now.
Disney should really just upload all its old bullshit that's not gonna get vaulted to netflix or amazon instant.
That and the Walt's Treasures series.
Under Wraps, one of my favorites growing up.

Blank Check was a great kids movie until the kid trapped a bad guy in a metal ball cage and drowned him in his pool.
It was a weird tonal shift.
Alley Cats Strike! The Wikipedia article for this film is ridiculously long.

The implications of this ending are so hilarious.
Does God just break your legs? Do only handicap people go to Heaven?
I seem to recall liking Can of Worms, Don't Look Under the Bed, The Paper Brigade, and Under Wraps.

First Kid is great, but if we're talking Sinbad.. it's Houseguest every time.

Damn. Was gonna post this. Never saw the sequels though
I watched way too many of these way too many times. Off top I remember: Quints, Genius, Halloweentown, Don't Look Under the Bed, Johnny Tsunami, Alley Cats, Smart House, Phantom of the Multiplex, Mom's Dating a Vampire, Zenon, Zenon 2, Halloweentown 2, Halloweentown 3 (with the high school), Zenon: Z3, the mermaid one, think there was a kim possible movie and there was definitely a Proud Family one, oh Even Stevens movie, Get a Clue (the fucking theme song to which is still stuck in my head), Luck of the Irish, that motocross one, Up Up and Away, Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off, The Cheetah Girls...think around there was when I stopped watching Disney Channel.
Okay checking an actual list yeah, I stopped watching around the first high school musical when I was 13. and Mom's Dating a Vampire was Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. And Zenon 2 had the much better title THE ZEQUEL, while Halloweentown 2 was KALABAR'S REVENGE. and the mermaid one was The Thirteenth Year.
of the ones I've listed that haven't been talked about much yet I'd like to highlight:
fuck now I found a link to So Weird clips. this nostalgia hole's not gonna end. thanks op

of the ones I've listed that haven't been talked about much yet I'd like to highlight:
- was Don't Look Under the Bed really scary? Cause I remember being legitimately terrified of it.
- Halloweentown series I found less scary but still scary. in a more fun way. more than anything I think it's funny that I kinda love horror movies now and this is where I started. not by sneaking someone else's friday the 13th, but by watching repeats of Don't Look Under the Bed and Halloweentown (well, and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark) and...
- Phantom of the Multiplex. This was one of my favorites, no joke. but whenever the topic of dcoms has come up among friends (and it has several times) no one remembers this one. But it has Mickey Rooney! For a children's TV movie, it's pretty goddamn meta. Like Scream for pre-teens...shit this was totally how they pitched it.
- I still think about Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off when I cook eggs
- seriously, I dare you to listen to the theme for Get a Clue. dare you. will be caught forever (the President's Daughter theme is crazy catchy too but it's technically not a DCOM
- Had a mad crush on zenon. zenon was cute.
fuck now I found a link to So Weird clips. this nostalgia hole's not gonna end. thanks op
