This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Seattle U chapter.

Who doesn’t love the classic Disney Channel Original Movies? They had just the right amount of heartbreak, laughter and of course corny jokes. So here are, in my opinion, ten of the best Disney Channel Original Movies. Some of them are even on Netflix so you can instantly relive the good old days when you didn’t know what a midterm was. 

 

High School Musical

It may be one of Disney’s more recent release, but to me the HSM trilogy will always be the antithesis of my childhood. Who could resist the star cross lovers, Troy and Gabrielle, and their hidden passion for the arts that would ultimately bring them together? And let’s be real for a while we all thought high school was going to be nothing more than one dance number after another…Such a disappointment. Go Wildcats! (On Netflix)

Cheetah Girls

Talk about your classic BFF movie! Four friends who start an all-girl singing group that become famous, but that very fame is what tests the strength of their friendship, can it make it past all the glitz and the glam? Of course they can it’s a Disney movie, friendship conquers all!!!! (On Netflix)
