Around the turn of the millennium, Disney started to churn out its own movies on the Disney Channel. They came to be known as Disney Channel Original Movies. You can now find all of them as part of the content library on new streaming service Disney+.
Although not all of them were slated to be classics, some turned into major film franchises. Plus you can start watching them all thanks to the free seven-day trial.
High School Musical gave us the love story of Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, which kickstarted Zac Efron's and Vanessa Hudgens' careers. The franchise was so successful, it resulted in three films and another movie spin off.
And now Disney+ has brought it back as one of its new originals, in a TV series called High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
Some other careers that majorly benefited from a Disney Channel Original Movie were the Jonas Brothers who starred in Camp Rock.
So rekindle those memories and sing your lungs out to "Breaking Free" and see which current film stars started off on the Disney channel. You can also watch The Cheetah Girls, Wizards of Waverly Place, Smart House, The Even Stevens Movie and more.
Check out the full Disney Channel Original Movie list below.
