28:40 I LOVED The Thirteenth Year. Such an underrated movie. Also fun fact, Kristen Stewart is one of the kids in line at the drinking fountain when he's super thirsty lmaoooo

[digitalzealot]

Omg I've watched most of the DCOMs, and I love most of them 🤗 Glad someone's making a deeper video about the subject. I think my favorites of 90s films are Brink, Can Of Worms, and Don't Look Under The Bed. There are way too many 2000s movies for me to name my favorite of those bc I have lots lol

[urbroz]

OMG I can't believe the first part is finally out, its been really cool seeing you chip away on this vid for the past few months. Cant wait to watch the full thing :3

[raek]

I appreciate your dedication and hard work to this task. I am also a college student and I totally understand the stress of exams and homework so take all the time you need. This part one was great can't to watch the rest.

[uchechianaba]

This was such a fun video!! I can’t believe you do this for free! I grow up with Disney from the hsm era till the descendants one so I love hearing about the ones previously.

I remember watching Zenon on Disney at night. Don’t remember the plot but the fits were so fire

[merciimercy]

ive got no clue what the other video is, but this video hit my recommended and i appreciate that it felt like hanging out with a friend! thanks for the video and take your time with what you need to do!

[toddrickfrancis]

Cant wait to see all the parts. Been waiting for this video. A lot of these DCOMs i havent seen before. A handful of them ive only seen once like The Thirteenth Year, Hounded, and The Color of Friendship, and then theres Halloweentown 1 and Thats all i need to say (2 is better and i dare anyone to disagree) I honestly didnt know what other video you were talking about and then while i was commenting, you said Big Joel and noticed the video in my suggestions, so thank you. Gonna check that out right now.

I started watching Disney Channel A LOT when it was available on larger cable packages. The Famous Jett, Jackson, Bug Juice, So Weird, and The Jersey were my shows.

[JasonBeam]

I vividly remember this era. I grew up watching all these classic made for TV movies (as well as the series produced for Disney Channel). Really takes me back. Thanks for making this!

[MusicalMiranda]

Zoog was my favorite era. :-) By the time it was over, I was out of high school. There were great movies, AND it had the show Bug Juice. 😂 Great video!

[SofiaBerruxSubs]

Horse Sense, Jump Ship, 13th Year and Luck of the Irish are my childhood.

Im Irish American, loved seeing my hertiage on the movie

[cammyrProductions]

Brink has that classic dcom look and feel

[cammyrProductions]

Omg the Zenon franchise is a late nineties early two thousands classic

[RelixYG]

Really disappointed you hate zenon cuz that was one of my favorites

[taylorteal]

ngl as a zenon girl, i almost clicked out when you went off on it with the intensity of a thousand suns ….. wild, but thank you for going through and doing all of this!!! i’ve watched the Other video too, and even though it’s the same topic, i could listen to you talk about them even if i don’t agree!!

[irritableizzy]

Thirteenth year my beloved, I think it’s one of my fav Disney channel movies. Besides MBAV of course lol

[GlitterPenPerspective]

I religiously watched Disney Channel growing up so even if I haven't watched all of these movies in full, I very much remember at least promos for all of these except for Ready To Run...Disney must have aired that once and never again because HUH ???

[colinroberts]

I myself wasn't born until mid-1997, so I never really saw these early entries of DCOMs when they were initially released. Though I did see roughly 14 out of the first 40 covered here several years after the fact, even though some of them I've only ever seen once. For many years, most of the Zoog era DCOMs didn't receive home media releases, and the few that did oftentimes weren't released on any format beyond VHS. This was especially true in how only three of the twelve DCOMs from 2000 were released that way. Even so, the only DCOMs I own on their original format were the first Zenon film (1999), and "Double Teamed" (2002).

So you lucky dog is basically a rendition of The Aristocrats with dogs? Got it 👌
