Disney TV Movies that Need Sequels


After Monday's exciting news that Life-Size, Tyra Banks' greatest contribution to television, is getting a sequel, a world of opportunity opened. The 2000 straight-to-TV movie became an instant guilty pleasure, but it was just one of Disney's many original movies to premiere on ABC or Disney Channel. There are plenty of others that deserve sequels of their own, but we're focusing on the best of the pre-High School Musical era -- because let's be honest, nothing was ever the same after that. Before that franchise, Disney Channel movies were adorably cheesy with cute, if completely unbelievable, storylines. Since the ill-fated day that Zac Efron had to choose between drama club and the basketball team, the movies lost all of their charms and became mere vehicles for the network's latest stars (all of whom were required to sing, apparently). Here are some of the classics (we use the word lightly in all respects) that haven't gotten sequels yet, and are long overdue:

I loved Susie Q so much. They shouldn't touch it. Was [i]My Date with the President's Daughter[/i] a Disney original? That was right before Eric (don't know his real name) got the pudge. I wouldn't mind a sequel to that.

REMAKE SMART HOUSE!

I think it was an ABC movie but it's close enough since they own Disney or Disney owns them whatever

Oddly enough, I was just thinking about My Date with the President's Daughter the other day. Idr why tho, lol.

OMG How has no one mentioned the famous Jett Jackson?! That show was the best. I had such a huge crush on Lee Thompson Young.

LOL @ Cadet Kelly

and ESPECIALLY LOL at "Christy Carlson Romano" which always sounded like a weirdly long and plain name to me. Like, could her three names be any more basic?
zoombinilover 9th-Dec-2012 03:54 am (UTC)
I get Christy Carlson Romano and Anne Hathaway mixed up sometimes. Here are my reasons.

1. Both were with Disney.
2. Both sing (Christy Carlson Romano was in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway -- I actually think that's my main confusion).
3. Ren Stevens. You know Anne Hathaway would've played that role in a heartbeat. Because I'm pretty sure Anne Hathaway IS Ren Stevens.

I missed part of the beginning of the Color of Friendship, and didn't know it was based on a true story, AND didn't realize it took place in the 70s until halfway through.



I know. I know.
twowaymirrrors 9th-Dec-2012 03:51 am (UTC)
AND didn't realize it took place in the 70s until halfway through.

Neither did I and I could not figure out why everything looked so old and outdated

I had to write a History of Photography paper on South Africa and I was thinking about that movie the entire time.
tutuhead 9th-Dec-2012 06:02 am (UTC)

gbeastly 9th-Dec-2012 03:52 am (UTC)
I remember in middle school watching TV and seeing promos for Cadet Kelly and thinking to myself "Omg what kind of dumb kid would even watch that?" and then the next day at school all these popular girls in my theater class were talking about "omg did you see Cadet Kelly?" And I was all YOU ARE 13, YOU ARE ALMOST AN ADULT.
violue 9th-Dec-2012 03:53 am (UTC)

black_phoenix 9th-Dec-2012 03:55 am (UTC)

At 13 I was getting more into Disney. That was prime Lizzie McGuire time for me.
daydream11 9th-Dec-2012 04:40 am (UTC)
13 year old me loved Disney shamelessly. That's when HSM came out.
saintclaire87 9th-Dec-2012 03:53 am (UTC)
Brink! :) I loved Zenon, Susie Q, Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire, The Color of Friendship, Under Wraps, Tower of Terror and etc. Phantom of the Megaplex was on back in October and it was the first time I've seen it since in years.

And speaking of Erik, I would love for a So Weird reunion. At last bring back Fi and give the show a better ending.
black_phoenix 9th-Dec-2012 03:54 am (UTC)
uhm WENDY WU?
brucelynn 9th-Dec-2012 03:57 am (UTC)

black_phoenix 9th-Dec-2012 04:01 am (UTC)
I mean, whatshername started banging Tattoos McGee Cyrus, but whatever, just give me more violence!
electricknight 10th-Dec-2012 02:02 am (UTC)
I think it was cancelled because of her pregnancy.
redaodai 9th-Dec-2012 03:55 am (UTC)
I didn't have cable as a kid or teen so I don't think I've seen most of these movies.
hypnology 9th-Dec-2012 03:56 am (UTC)
Phantom of the megaplex is my favorite dcom.
_beka 9th-Dec-2012 03:57 am (UTC)

missmoelove3 9th-Dec-2012 05:28 am (UTC)
Loved Bug Juice! not ashamed to say that I still look online for episodes every now and again. And when that one popular girl with the short hair got sent home for having 'things' she wasn't supposed to?
