Which DCOM (or 10) are you most looking forward to revisiting? Drop all your excitement in a comment below.
well now I wish I had cable
Oh, me too!
Go for PlayStationVue. It’s 50 a month and all you need is a hi speed connection. I’m going to get it when my cable contract ends.
I mean we torrent a lot and we have Hulu and Netflix so I can get all these
Movies easily; but it would be nice to just be able to tune in.
I really hope they show Color of Friendship. That was a great movie. Glad you can also buy it.
That’s the one movie I was looking for, in that list. That was an awesome and sweet movie.
do you know if this, by any chance, will apply to disney latin america (mexico, to be more specific) ??
I can’t wait for this although the scheduling’s confused me a lot. AND WHERE’S THE FAMOUS JETT JACKSON MOVIE?
Um, hello? Where is Phantom of the Megaplex? Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire? The Ultimate Christmas Present?!
* Oops, in my excitement, I skipped part of the article. This is only 51 movies of the marathon for Memorial Day weekend. I’ll be watching out for the 3 I mentioned throughout June!
Oops, I missed that too. Will be on the look-out for The Famous Jett Jackson Movie then!
I love Vampire and I’ve never seen Megaplex and some of the other movies, so I’m looking forward to loading my DVR!
I’d just like a full schedule, so I know what to record when…
I love phantom of the megaplex!!! And mom’s got a date! I’m so excited about this movies!
oh I hope this will be on disney channel canada too.
I’m dying. This is such a smart move – especially having them be available for purchase! My 90s and 00s self is freaking out… Zetus Lapetus!
Man… why does Disney have to show Johnny Tsunami at 3 in the morning (especially as that’s the only Lee Thompson Young appearance in the marathon)? At least they’ve got the Kim Possible movie going!
Why on earth are all the good ones on at like 2am?
Lemonade Mouth my favorite! Too bad they were unable to coordinate a part two. My oldest to youngest kid spans 17 years apart I think I have seen every movie and lived through each crazy phase.
Hmmm, time to add that external drive to the TiVo!
Why are they not showing movies that are in a series together?! That bugs me! Also, they missed some great great movies!!!
Disappointed- thought they meant every one ever – there’s definitely older ones not on that list
I’m afraid they are only considering the movies made after 1997 when the ‘DCOM’ banner started being used. If so, we won’t see any of my generation’s movies. That stinks. If love to see Not Quite Human, Double Switch, Parent Trap 3, and Mr. Boogedy (just to name a few).
ITA! When I first saw this I was all excited because I thought I’d finally get to rewatch “Goodbye Miss 4th of July”. That’s the first movie I ever watched on the Disney Channel.
OMG I totally forgot about Not Quite Human! I loved those movies when I was a kid. I was already lamenting the fact that Susie Q is too “old” to be included in the marathon, and now I’m even more disappointed…
You’d think they’d air the series in order, rather than randomly, all over the place, and backwards.
Seriously. I can’t think of a single rational reason to air sequels before originals and on separate nights. Did the scheduler find it to hard to decide a natural order because there were so many and just right them down in the order they pulled the names out of a hat?
Oops, I must be really tired; I meant “write” not “right”
They’re not even airing them in order. WTF?
WHY are they playing sequel out of order! Everything on friday is #2, and the originals are not se tot air until monday? how did that make any sense
Who ever said Disney was smart? Lol
Umm…Wish Apon a Star, My Date with the Presidents Daughter, Suzie Q? Clearly they forgot about all the classics
None of those are Disney Channel Original Movies (no matter what Wikipedia says). Wish Upon a Star was an acquired film made by Columbia TriStar Pictures with distribution owned by Warner Brothers) the channel just aired a lot. My Date with the President’s Daughter was made for the Magical World of Disney on ABC and Suzie Q was an acquired co-production made before the 1996 DCOM brand.
PHANTOM OF THE MEGAPLEX!!!!
Glad they’ll be airing old classic movies again! Bummer they skip out on other movies.
What about Model Behaviour? That was a DCOM…..
What about genius?! luck of the Irish?!?! What was the one about dirt bikes?!? My kids race dirt bikes, would love to show them that movie!
Motocrossed is the one with dirt bikes and is on the marathon list. I’m sure they’ll show the other two during June as part of the 49 movies not mentioned here.
No, it was it wasn’t. :)
Model Behavior is not a dcom. It originally aired on abc’s wonderful world of Disney on saturday or sunday nights back then and then on Disney a few times after that.
How about on DVD? I own both Twitches movies and all four Halloweentown movies on DVD.
I want all three Zenon movies, Johnny Senami, Double Teamed and Right on Track.
I also own Cadet Kelly on DVD.
Would love to see My Date With the President’ s Daughter!
I’m really excited for this! Though I already have some of these burned on dvd when they’ve aired before, I have missed a few that, at the time, I didn’t have an interest in but want to give them a shot this time around.
