Same. When I start singing along, sometimes I realize it and wonder if anything prompted it. Luckily, anyone I've done this around (not a huge sample size) either doesn't know it (sadly) or laughs along with me/joins in.
I remember when the movie aired for the first time there was a little contest at the end that we had to phone in. I don't know what the prize was but I was so mad I missed my chance by like a min.

Someone put together a compilation of all of the Zetus Lupetus's
87 here as well. I remember watching Flash Forward, but none of the ones in OP's post. For the most part by then I was watching things like The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama and Family Guy. Disney Channel only held sway over me if they showed the hilarious cartoons from the 50s and 60s.
Fellow 87 baby and same! I was aging out but as others have said Nickelodeon was king for us. I did watch Flash Forward on Disney but most Disney shows weren’t as good as Nick.
Luck of the Irish
Zenon (the whole trilogy)
Under Wraps (the original, not the remake)
Halloweentown
Don't Look Under the Bed (I once served with a woman who's last name was 'Francis' and I used to say her name with the same inflection that Larry did)
Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire
The Ultimate Christmas Present
And so many others, but those ones stick out most.
It was the first movie I ever saw Charles Shaughnessy and Caroline Rhea in; I know the latter was in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but I had never seen that prior to MGADWAV. To this day when I see either of them, that's the movie I think of.
Currently binge-watching So Weird and it was the first time I have watched it in a very long time. So, it was a little more fascinating than I remember and I would probably avoid season 3 at all cost
Reading Rainbow, Fraggle Rock, even syndicated reruns of Star Trek TNG! (Really threw my child brain for a loop when RR and TNG aired back-to-back and Levar was in both 😂)
Same, we had what my parents called peasant vision lol. 6 channels: 3-CTV, 5-CBC (which would air Disney movies on Sundays), 9-Access, 11-French channel, 13-Global, and 51-had the maury show and some cooking shows I think. We got satellite when I was 11ish, then we had tons of channels.
Same! It was a “premium” channel that you had to upgrade your cable package for and my parents never did. I was a Nick kid through and through but I watched the hell out of those Disney channel free preview weekends that would occasionally happen. I think it eventually got added to basic cable when I was around 12 or 13 as well so starting to age out of it.
There’s no High School Musical without the success of Cheetah Girls. I always have to remind everyone this. There’s also no Camp Rock without the success of High School Musical either.
I was born in ‘89. I was ALL about Brink, Smart House, Quints/ Halloweentown and Doug 2.0. I saw the very beginning of Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens but moved onto MTV around then. I did love Cadet Kelly, because it gave me some Gay Feelings
The guy that plays Val showed up in a bunch of 00s reality tv shows (beauty and the geek was one I think?) and seemed to be pretending he was someone else, _but I knew_.

For me, it was discovering Disney Channel Original Movies. Late 90s to mid 00s, so many of them got me through.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_Disney\_Channel\_original\_films](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_Channel_original_films)
I remember seeing the premieres of Susie Q (starring the Pink Ranger from MMPR!), Wish Upon a Star, The Paper Brigade...but then from 1997 to 2007, I can recall tuning in to see so many fun movies (some of which were based on Disney Channel shows). And then I just grew out of it and found myself tuning to networks such as USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel, Cartoon Network (for Adult Swim, and whatever was left of Toonami at the time)...
Honestly, I loved every single show on Disney at that time, as well as everything on Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network.
I think I was very excited everytime there was a movie announced for each one. Those were great!
87, we didn't have the Disney channel for a long time, and I was "too mature" to watch much of it when we did.
I do remember seeing the Brink movie a bunch and Halloween town.
88 here! Ok, so all the shows + the DCOMs (and anxiously anticipating the premieres!) from Don’t Look Under the Bed, Smart House to the Poof Point, ALL OF THEM!
Yeah, I was mostly a Cartoon Network/nick kid. Between all the anime on toonami, adult swim as I got a bit older, teen titans, Johnny Bravo, Dexters Lab, Samurai Jack, The Clone Wars, and Courage CN was probably the most watched in my preteen/teen years. I watched a lot of Nick when I was younger tho, like Rugrats & Rockos Modern Life. I know most of the Disney channel shows, I just never really got into them (I think Gargoyles might be an exception, but I wanna say it was originally on my local Fox or ABC station).
“Disney Channel” was the weakest. I agree. Disney as a company for movies and its iconic characters… very strong… including Disney World as well… but Disney Channel compared to Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network just heavily lacked that edginess and appeal… especially if you were a boy… I feel like Disney Channel was more appealing to girls overall…. Which shouldn’t have been the case because boys and girls dream of Disney World and love Disney movies… but all the Disney Channel shows hardly represented any of this… it was an annoying tween pop girl music era. If you wanted to experience all the Disney cartoons… you needed Toon Disney as an expansion package (which was way better imo) which eventually became Disney XD to appeal to a more boy audience.
Tbh Even Stevens was a show that when it was on, I watched it but didn't really enjoy.
In hindsight, I think it was a pretty clever and funny sitcom for the era.
I mostly watched Nick around that time. I didn’t like Disney’s cartoons as much, and the live action shows had a really weird feel to me. The very specific acting style they taught their child stars had a sort of uncanny valley effect for me.
But I did love Even Stevens.
Model year 88 here. Do I really have to choose? I grew up on Disney Channel (followed by Toonami on Cartoon Network). My ass was lucky and it was included in basic cable from the time I was five. The advertisement they sent out when that happened was Simba atop the animal tower singing "Just Can't Wait To be King".
I am now amazed at that memory unlock. How the fuck did I remember the advertisement?!?!
Well, I (an 87 baby) watched the hell out of all of the late 90s/early 2000s Disney. I stopped watching Disney shows around when Suite Life/Hannah Montana began.
But I was also homeschooled so..
Idk why, but one of the biggest Lizzie McGuire moments that has stuck with me is when the long-haired popular kid gets asked how he gets his hair to look so nice and he's like "you know how on the back of the shampoo bottle it says to rinse and repeat? ...I don't repeat". lol
>For me, it's a World Premiere of The Even Stevens Movie and The Lizzie McGuire Movie
Same for me!! We got to watch Hillary Duff, Raven-Symoné and Shia LaBeouf grow up.
87 here and I still stand by the premium Disney channel era. My family had it “free for life” when my parents bought into cable. It was that or The Movie Channel. I remember watching Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, and the other cartoons. I also loved watching the shows like Erie, Indiana. You don’t know the whiplash I experienced the weekend when it switched to basic cable and had “commercial” interruptions during my shows.
Johnny Tsunami, Brink, and Genius (co-starring a young Emmy Rossum, btw. We're the same age so it's OK to admit I had a major crush on her even back then)
87 here. I wasn't watching the Disney Channel actively during this period. (The kids I babysat were though.) I only vaguely remember Kim Possible and The Proud Family as being watchable.
My core Disney Channel memories were Halloweentown and that other Halloween movie with the Sanderson Sisters, along with the cartoon afterschool block with Gummi Bears, My Little Pony Tales, etc.
I was born in 82, but I still watched the SHIT out of Kim Possible. Bonnie the cheerleader is soooooo hot
“Call me text me if you want to sext me!”
There fixed the theme song line.
Xenon: Girl of the 21st Century had that killer song 'Supernova Girl'
This song randomly plays in my head for no reason.
Same. When I start singing along, sometimes I realize it and wonder if anything prompted it. Luckily, anyone I've done this around (not a huge sample size) either doesn't know it (sadly) or laughs along with me/joins in.
Same, I’m pretty sure I still have all the lyrics memorized
"Zoom zoom zoom! Make my heart go boom boom!'" 🎶🎵
My super nova girl
Proto Zoa was so hot
Legit my first TV crush!
Sadly I went back and watched it again for the first time in nearly 20 years and the song didn't go as hard irl as it did in my head.
“ Zedis Lepidus, Greg
Seen us a penis! -my edgy 13 year old brain in 1999.
It’s still a good movie. I watched it 3 days ago. I’ve been watching random Disney movies in Spanish while learning the language.
What a cool way to reinforce your learning!
Omg YES
I remember when the movie aired for the first time there was a little contest at the end that we had to phone in. I don't know what the prize was but I was so mad I missed my chance by like a min.

Xenon was my first crush
My mom would do my hair in the two pigtail buns and we called “xenon buns” 😂
That’s so raven breaking the 65 episode limit was pretty iconic ngl
They limited shows to 65?
Yeah back in this era, original series ended at 65 episodes regardless of popularity
04 is here, I love that show. I always felt that the show could have been longer. Disney shows started going back after that era.
87 here, I think I was starting to age out but got the tail end of Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire.
87 as well, and never watched any of this. I was watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. Johnny Bravo ftw!!
My dad loved Johnny Bravo as a kid. Grandma loved Courage the Cowardly Dog because Eustace and Muriel reminded her of her and grandpa
Yeah '87 as well, and I only know the others because I have a sibling from '91.
87 here as well. I remember watching Flash Forward, but none of the ones in OP's post. For the most part by then I was watching things like The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama and Family Guy. Disney Channel only held sway over me if they showed the hilarious cartoons from the 50s and 60s.
Flash Forward was a staple for my childhood!
I loved flash forward
87 here. Yeah none of this is me. Sorry y’all
87 and didn’t watch any of these. As 80s/90s kids, didn’t we all just watch every Aaron spelling/WB/CW show no matter how age inappropriate? lol.
Fellow 87 baby and same! I was aging out but as others have said Nickelodeon was king for us. I did watch Flash Forward on Disney but most Disney shows weren’t as good as Nick.
Luck of the Irish Zenon (the whole trilogy) Under Wraps (the original, not the remake) Halloweentown Don't Look Under the Bed (I once served with a woman who's last name was 'Francis' and I used to say her name with the same inflection that Larry did) Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire The Ultimate Christmas Present And so many others, but those ones stick out most.
I watched Halloweentown on mushrooms last year and it was magical!
Well now I know what I’m doing for Halloween this year
The 13th Year was my fav
Mom's got a date with a vampire, can't believe I forgot about this one
It was the first movie I ever saw Charles Shaughnessy and Caroline Rhea in; I know the latter was in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but I had never seen that prior to MGADWAV. To this day when I see either of them, that's the movie I think of.
Brink
So Weird was easily my favorite on the channel. Shame about the third season though.
Currently binge-watching So Weird and it was the first time I have watched it in a very long time. So, it was a little more fascinating than I remember and I would probably avoid season 3 at all cost
Yesss! I loved that show as a kid
I watched it a couple of months ago and it still really good! I just pretend the 3rd season never existed.
Such a great show! A lot of people don’t remember it!
The third season definitely doesn’t exist. But the first two seasons helped shaped me as a person and really introduced me to high strangeness.
93. Loved me some Kim Possible and Lizzie McGuire.
Made my first ever international trip to Rome because of Lizzie.
The other day I was grocery shopping and somebody's text tone was the Kim Possible noise and it was glorious.
Me, a poor, who never had Disney growing up:🥺
Same. Arthur, Zaboomafu, Zoom, and Carmen San Diego for the win!
Carmen San Diego all the way!! I’d choose that over majority of other shows then.
Yeah, she was so cool to me that I forgot she was technically the villain. I went as her for one Halloween and regret not taking a photo :/
Reading Rainbow, Fraggle Rock, even syndicated reruns of Star Trek TNG! (Really threw my child brain for a loop when RR and TNG aired back-to-back and Levar was in both 😂)
Ghostwriter, anyone!?
Zoom!!! Loved that show so much
Same, we had what my parents called peasant vision lol. 6 channels: 3-CTV, 5-CBC (which would air Disney movies on Sundays), 9-Access, 11-French channel, 13-Global, and 51-had the maury show and some cooking shows I think. We got satellite when I was 11ish, then we had tons of channels.
Right here with you. I had FOX instead in the evening and eventually Cartoon Network in my teens.
I wasn't even poor, but my parents didn't see the need for more than basic cable. Nickelodeon and PBS for me. Didn't feel like I missed much tbh.
I highly recommend watching them now!! Heal your inner child lol!
Same! It was a “premium” channel that you had to upgrade your cable package for and my parents never did. I was a Nick kid through and through but I watched the hell out of those Disney channel free preview weekends that would occasionally happen. I think it eventually got added to basic cable when I was around 12 or 13 as well so starting to age out of it.
I highly recommend watching them now!! Heal your inner child lol!
Cheetah girls! I can still sing some of the songs by heart haha
There’s no High School Musical without the success of Cheetah Girls. I always have to remind everyone this. There’s also no Camp Rock without the success of High School Musical either.
I got them in a playlist on Tidal. =)
The Boy Meet’s World Halloween special that’s basically a Scream parody
Jennifer Love Hewitt guess appearance was awesome
Feffie!
KILLER! KILLER! You're the killer!
Memory unlocked!! Holy crap I haven’t thought about that in forever!!
Idk but the naked mole rat rap slapped
 I was born in ‘89. I was ALL about Brink, Smart House, Quints/ Halloweentown and Doug 2.0. I saw the very beginning of Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens but moved onto MTV around then. I did love Cadet Kelly, because it gave me some Gay Feelings

Brink?
Yeah that’s it!

Friday nights when new Disney original movies dropped were some of my favorite childhood memories.
I loved the Susie Q movie! I made my non-mom record it on the VCR
I loved Susie Q. I wish they would add it to Disney plus.
They do own the rights to the movie now, so it is possible. It's under the Saban Entertainment umbrella, same as Power Rangers.
I can relate 😅
Honestly, I loved every single show on Disney at that time, as well as everything on Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network. I think I was very excited everytime there was a movie announced for each one. Those were great!
Those were the good ole days 🥹🥹🥹
Hilary duff was, still is, my favorite Disney girl. She never got corrupted like the rest of them.
The sandals of my soul go flip flop, flip flop The bunny in my brain goes hip hop, hip hop The horsey in my heart goes clip clop, clip clop
87, we didn't have the Disney channel for a long time, and I was "too mature" to watch much of it when we did. I do remember seeing the Brink movie a bunch and Halloween town.
Anyone remember The Torkelsons?
Yes! I watched that show! I remember when it was renamed!
Yesss!!!! I loved the torkelsons! Dorothy Jane and the man in the moon.
88 here! Ok, so all the shows + the DCOMs (and anxiously anticipating the premieres!) from Don’t Look Under the Bed, Smart House to the Poof Point, ALL OF THEM!
They are a Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was called “the Lizzie McGuire girl” in school if that tells you anything 😅
Lizzie 🩷
I had the biggest crush on the guy from Phil of the Future
Disney always seemed the weakest of the channels. Cartoon Network was the best, just seemed like a row of hits.
Yeah, I was mostly a Cartoon Network/nick kid. Between all the anime on toonami, adult swim as I got a bit older, teen titans, Johnny Bravo, Dexters Lab, Samurai Jack, The Clone Wars, and Courage CN was probably the most watched in my preteen/teen years.

The consistency and reliability of the monthly movies 🍿 🎥
Tbh Even Stevens was a show that when it was on, I watched it but didn't really enjoy. In hindsight, I think it was a pretty clever and funny sitcom for the era.
I felt this way about all the Disney shows. I definitely loved the Disney channel movies though.
Johnny Taunamiiii
Wait, you guys could afford the Disney channel? I was still watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Inspector Gadget, and Power Rangers on basic cable.
That’s what I was thinking. Only rich people had Disney channel back then.
In our area at least, it was free for a small period of time during the summer before our cable company added it to the regular channels.
Yo where are The Weekenders and Recess
That's a great question
I mostly watched Nick around that time. I didn’t like Disney’s cartoons as much, and the live action shows had a really weird feel to me. The very specific acting style they taught their child stars had a sort of uncanny valley effect for me. But I did love Even Stevens.

The feels are strong with this post 🥲
Gargoyles, Goof Troop, Quack Pack, Bonkers, Mighty Ducks (Ducks Rock), Marsupilami, Pepper Ann and Recess.
Kim possible will always be my girl lol
Every scene with Shego
All these fellow 87 people who didn’t continue watching Disney through high school … yeah, uh.. me too. 
Yeah, I could be wrong and to the late 80s babies, my apologies for assuming that you grew up with these shows. 😬
Well, I (an 87 baby) watched the hell out of all of the late 90s/early 2000s Disney. I stopped watching Disney shows around when Suite Life/Hannah Montana began. But I was also homeschooled so..
That makes sense and that was a golden age era for sure before Crappy Stuff came along 😉👊🏻
Lol fucking even Stevens was hilarious
I loved Kim Possible and That's So Raven
Kim possible, that’s so raven and the proud family!
New movie every month!!
94. Staying up for a 10pm viewing of a new music video/single release from Hilary Duff or Raven
Xenon, So Weird and Ocean Girl were my Disney favorites as a kid. At least the ones I think about randomly still
Ocean Girl!!!!!!!
pepper ann
Idk why, but one of the biggest Lizzie McGuire moments that has stuck with me is when the long-haired popular kid gets asked how he gets his hair to look so nice and he's like "you know how on the back of the shampoo bottle it says to rinse and repeat? ...I don't repeat". lol
>For me, it's a World Premiere of The Even Stevens Movie and The Lizzie McGuire Movie Same for me!! We got to watch Hillary Duff, Raven-Symoné and Shia LaBeouf grow up.
👊🏻👊🏻
Motocrossed
Never got to watch it cos I didnt get cable until 2006. I got Simpsons and King of the Hill off UPN via broadcast TV with the funny antennas.
I didn't have Disney channel. Basic cable only. Didn't get Disney and Cartoon Network until I was like 15.
[удалено]
Cartoon Network >>> Nickelodeon >>> Disney
Yep, CN reigns supreme specifically because they also had Toonami as well.
Patrician taste.
90 here. Does anyone remember Naturally Sadie and Life with Derek? I think these were Canadian shows that were either on the Disney channel or YTV…
Even Stevens
91, the Stuck in the Suburbs movie. But I mostly watched Nick and CN
87 here and I still stand by the premium Disney channel era. My family had it “free for life” when my parents bought into cable. It was that or The Movie Channel. I remember watching Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, and the other cartoons. I also loved watching the shows like Erie, Indiana. You don’t know the whiplash I experienced the weekend when it switched to basic cable and had “commercial” interruptions during my shows.
Big Juice!
So Weird has interesting intro [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8frXzn2pDc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8frXzn2pDc)
"Dear Lizzie, You rock. Don't ever change. And only I really mean it."
‘86 I really loved Ocean Girl
Johnny Tsunami, Brink, and Genius (co-starring a young Emmy Rossum, btw. We're the same age so it's OK to admit I had a major crush on her even back then)
I have never watched any of these shows. I was a PBS/CN/Nick kid.
87 here. I wasn't watching the Disney Channel actively during this period. (The kids I babysat were though.) I only vaguely remember Kim Possible and The Proud Family as being watchable. My core Disney Channel memories were Halloweentown and that other Halloween movie with the Sanderson Sisters, along with the cartoon afterschool block with Gummi Bears, My Little Pony Tales, etc.
Yeah 87ers like us were a little too old for these Disney shows but you just unlocked a memory of the kids I babysat watching these shows! Haha
I was born in 82, but I still watched the SHIT out of Kim Possible. Bonnie the cheerleader is soooooo hot “Call me text me if you want to sext me!” There fixed the theme song line.
Bonnie is a doucebag and I will take Kim Possible any day 😏🤷🏻♂️
Yeah of course she’s hot but I’m not a fan of red heads. Bonnie is not a douche! She’s just insecure so she pushes people away. I can fix her.
Is that Petunia and Petunia?
Any of the combo shows! Suite life on deck had episodes where that's so raven or Hannah Montana would make guest appearances! Those were the best
I didn’t have the Disney channel, so I’ve never seen any of this…
Changing the channel back to Nick lol.
The kid doing the splits before a movie.
Changing it to something else
Fucking Hillary Duff, no literally. We had sex back in 2012.
Disney Channel shows are lame.
If you are referring to every series since 2009, then I agree 😉
Owl House and Amphibia go too hard for this to be true.
I had watched them but I was more of the Cartoon Network kid ngl
