10 Most Unrealistic Disney Channel Original Movies

Disney Channel Original Movies are fun and nostalgic, but these are hilariously unrealistic at the same time.

Disney Channel Original Movies encourage viewers to use their imaginations. Some viewers like to suspend their disbelief and immerse themselves in a fantastical storyline. Life is real enough, so why not kick back and embrace the fantasy?

Even if a DCOM is far-fetched, it represents the familiarity and warmth of old-school Disney Channel goodness. Here are ten of the most unrealistic original movies from the glory days of the network. Everyone believes different things about ghosts and the supernatural, so there are no Halloween movies on the list. Just crazy scenarios, technological phenomena, and memorable characters. Take a look at these movies on Disney+.

10 Get a Clue

Lindsay Lohan worked on a lot of projects in the 2000s, but she was no stranger to Disney! After her 1998 dual breakout role as Annie and Hallie in The Parent Trap, Lindsay played Casey Stuart in 2000’s Life-Size, Lexy Gold in Get a Clue (2002), Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday (2003), Lola Step in 2004’s Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and Maggie Peyton in Herbie Fully Loaded in 2005. Get a Clue is a fun DCOM to revisit because it’s a detective flick for kids. Lexy and her friends get involved in a high-profile case when their beloved teacher, Mr. Walker, goes missing. It’s an edge-of-your-seat adventure with a great cast, including Charles Shaughnessy, Bug Hall (from The Little Rascals), and Brenda Song. However, the chances of teenagers solving a dangerous “crime by dinnertime” and coming out alive are scarce.

9 Stepsister from Planet Weird

Aliens are a touchy subject, but really–how many 14-year-old girls try to stop their families from becoming one because one family is human and the other is alien? Megan (played by Courtnee Draper) doesn’t take too kindly to aliens Cosmo and Ariel, but Ariel wants nothing to do with Megan and her human family. It’s a creative imagining of what aliens look like in the year 2000, but it’s not a realistic story.

8 Starstruck

Sure, one could go on vacation, stalk a pop star, become involved in the pop star’s life, and fall in love with the pop star. Let’s be honest, though–how often does that actually happen? Even back in 2010, celebrities were pretty well protected.

Sarah Olsen accepts the challenge and drags her sister, Jessica, on the hunt for pop star Christopher Wilde. Somehow, Jessica Olsen becomes a part of Christopher Wilde’s life, but she’s not even a fan! Love is in the air once the two spend more time together.

7 Stuck in the Suburbs

Stuck in the Suburbs (2004) could have been Starstruck’s prequel. Danielle Panabaker plays Brittany Aarons, a teenager who wants nothing more than to stand out in the mundanity of suburbia. When Brittany meets a cool new girl named Natasha (played by Brenda Song), she begins to reinvent herself. She stops dressing and acting exactly like the soccer team, and she starts emulating Natasha. When Brittany and her friends attend pop star Jordan Cahill’s music video shoot, Brittany and Eddie, Jordan’s assistant, accidentally switch phones in a pedestrian collision. Thus, Brittany controls the Palm Pilot and the life of a famous pop star. It’s hard to imagine how this could happen with a pop star and a fan in real life, but the music in this movie rocks.

6 The Ultimate Christmas Present

Allie Thompson is not an unlikely character–plenty of DCOM protagonists struggle with motivation in school. However, she tries to solve her problems in a pretty unrealistic way. Allie and her friend Samantha get their hands on Santa’s weather machine. Allie then causes a snowstorm so that she can procrastinate more on her homework and get out of school. That weather machine is not an everyday gadget, but the 2000 movie is the best in the limited amount of Christmas DCOMs over the years.

5 Avalon High

Avalon High (2010) is one of a kind. It follows Allie Pennington as she finds her place in a new high school. Her parents are scholars of Arthurian legend, and their career soon informs the course of Allie’s life. She comes to believe the Order of the Bear, a society that upholds the reincarnation of King Arthur. Convinced that her crush and star football player Will Wagner is Arthur, Allie prepares to protect him from evil Mordred. Not the average day in high school, that’s for sure. Definitely watch it, though.

4 Smart House

Ryan Merriman is DCOM royalty. Who could forget The Luck of the Irish, A Ring of Endless Light, or Smart House? There are some dubious circumstances in the plot of Merriman’s first DCOM back in ’99. Smart House is about the Cooper family. Nick is a widower with two kids, Ben and Angie. Ben Cooper (Ryan Merriman) has turned into Mr. Mom. He cares about the well-being of his family, often at the expense of being a kid.

When Ben enters a contest and wins a computer-operated house, the family initially benefits from its technological advances. The nostalgia factor runs high when Ben and his friends use the house’s instant projection feature to dance along with British boy band Five’s hit “Slam Dunk.” Anyway, the computer system, known as PAT (Personal Applied Technology) goes on a power trip after Ben programs more maternal instincts in her, and things get scary for the Coopers. The PAT they once knew as nothing more than a voice becomes a hologram that can multiply herself. While artificial intelligence does present some concerns, this movie is (hopefully) an exaggeration.

3 Pixel Perfect

The holographic technology of Smart House is amped up a little bit in Pixel Perfect. Roscoe (Raviv Ullman) wants to help out his best friend Samantha with her band, the Zettabytes (in case it wasn’t obvious that the movie is from 2004, there ya go). The Zettabytes are in need of a lead singer who can dance, but no one is making the cut. Computer genius Roscoe decides he’ll create a frontman for the band. It’s an unsettling idea in hindsight, but the story is interesting. Roscoe’s creation is a hologram named Loretta Modern, so boom! New lead singer. Check the film out on Disney+ to see what happens when a young man prioritizes a hologram over everything.

2 Minutemen

A 2008 arrival, Minutemen played with time travel. It was one of Jason Dolley’s many roles, and it also starred Luke Benward and Nicholas Braun. Benward’s character, Charlie Tuttle, is a wiz kid bound for NASA. With his pals Virgil (Dolley) and Zeke (Braun) on board, Charlie cracks the code for time travel. The three friends become known as the Minutemen. They use their time machine to manipulate the things of the past, but they mess up when they mistakenly open up a black hole. Cool movie, but let’s hope this doesn’t ever happen in reality.

1 The Poof Point

More time travel, 2001-style. The Poof Point was one of Tahj Mowry’s DCOMs. He plays Eddie Ballard. His parents, Norton and Marigold Ballard (Mark Curry and Dawnn Lewis) are scientists working on their time machine. When they have a mishap with their machine, the parents gradually travel back in time, becoming younger and younger mentally. Eddie and his sister, Marie, must find a way to fix everything before their parents go “Poof!” and are no more.
