The Disney Channel Original Movie

I'm going to look at Disney Channel Original Movies. Why? Because I'm bored. And I have a fondness for pop culture. And screw you. I don't have to explain myself! Anyways...

There are certain channels like Sci-Fi, Lifetime, or Hallmark that have garnered a certain expectation with the original movies they produce. Mainly the expectation of unintentional hilarity and/or sappiness. The Disney Channel Original Movies seem to invoke a response of fondness for them-even while acknowledging their silliness. These movies (and The Disney Channel itself) are relatively new arrivals to the world of pop culture, but something that summons such strong nostalgia to this newest generation of adults may be worth taking a look at. Also, they are silly and that is usually fun.

Personally, I have not seen as many Disney Channel Original Movies as others, and the last one I saw was a few  years ago. So, I'm curious. As an adult (technically, not emotionally), will I like these movies? Are they any good? And not just for children, but for anyone. What was it about those movies that made them enjoyable, and are they still as enjoyable now? First up: Northern Lights.
