The Disney Channel had original movies long before "DCOM"—Tiger Town (1983) comes to mind. tregoweth 18:00, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] That's So Raven:The Movie

No one knows if this movie is going to be a theatrical or DCOM release. DON'T put it on there. (Just like The Lizzie McGuire Movie) Tcatron565

There's a Movie for That's So Raven? My sister's gonna freak now. o_o 64.12.116.7 22:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Future movies

Can someone please point me to where you guys/girls are getting the information about future movies? I have heard absolutly no word on a sequal to High School Musical, or Cow Bells (Which hasn't even aired yet!). Wikipedia is Not a crystal ball, and we should only place the information on here if a credibal source reports on it. If no proof is posted in 24 hours, I'm removing all the future movies that no status is known on. --lightdarkness 03:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the source linked to on the main article, regarding High School Musical. The producer states that the series is intended to be a 3 part, and the second has been written, but no where does it say "Disney has picked up the second and thrid movies". I'm sorry, but we should simply not list them until official word is given that Disney is going to be making them, and that they will be DCOM's, and not other releases (May it be theatrical, or on another Disney station (ABC)). --lightdarkness 19:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I strongly agree. Tcatron565 3:38 CST 2/02/06
Done, please do not add it back in unless there is an OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE from Disney. --lightdarkness 20:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
When you first see the commercial, put the release date (even if it only says the month) on here. If it's already there don't bother. Tcatron565
I have seen that people are putting on movies after Coe Belles. Do Not do this. When Cow Belles has premiered, you may put on the next movie and only the next movie. NOT any others.

Actually, Everyone already knows about Read It and Weep and Cheetah Girls 2. They even have a Disney 365 on it.

How do you people know about the "Jump" Movie and the "Double Dutch"?

If it is not listed on IMDB, you cannot put it on Wiki. It must be verified. This is not my personal ruling as I am following verdicts that exist throughout wiki. There was a movie I thought was cool, but it got removed because it was listed as cancelled on IMDB. Wiki is not a crystal ball. User:Lord Hawk 17:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Life Size

Does anyone know if Life Size is a DCOM? Tcatron565 4:36pm c 2/07/06

Life size is not a DCOM.

Judging by IMDB, I'm gonna say no. It was obviously made by Disney, but it wasn't a DCOM. --lightdarkness 22:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Nope, Life Size is not a DCOM, because the disneychannel list says Life is Ruff, then the next one is The Luck of the Irish.
I know it's not a DCOM, but the site is missing a few movies. They take it off when the movie isn't doing very well if views. Tcatron565 16:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fake Movies

I just removed a comment about a Halloweentown 4, and added a comment not to add movies that haven't been annouced. I found no indication on anywebsite that Halloweentown 4 is to be made, and why on earth would they make a fourth one anyways :D Please keep an eye out for fake movies, and remove them as such. --lightdarkness (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] High School Musical 2

I've temporarliy removed High School Musical 2. the president of Disney Channel Worldwide has stated that it won't be ready til 2008, and I don't think we should list it until we get a confirmed date. That January 17th 2007 date was just a rumor started by fans, no truth to that information. --lightdarkness (talk) 06:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Someone get rid of High School Musical 3.

Also, TV.com said "Cadet Kelly 2" is coming out, but IMDb doesn't have a profile yet.

Someone put on the article that High School Musical 2 is going to be apart of Disney Channel's So Hot Summer 2007. If it's comming out in 2008, why is it listed? I know, a dumb question, but still, I'm not going to edit, for one, Wiki scares me. o_o; 172.162.231.10 00:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Future Movies

There has been several editors and non's adding future movies, and removing them. We need to come up with a solid convention to follow here. Do we list them or not? I think Tcatron565 said it the best, only putting movies on the list when they have been advertised on Disney Channel. Even though we know many of these movies are being produced, we shouldn't list them on this page until their release is nearer. Does anyone else have an opinion on this matter? yes i do and i think u guys have to make the movie quicker bc i cant wait that long for it to come out --lightdarkness (talk) 21:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inappropriate tone

Nearly all the DCOM articles have an inappropriate tone. Has anybody noticed that? --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 05:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time

I've removed Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time becuase it isn't a DCOM. If it was, it would've been considered Disney Channel's first Original Animated Movie. Kim Possible: So the Drama is Disney Channel's first Original Animated Movie. Therefore, Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time isn't a DCOM. It was just made by Disney. -Rosepuff12 23:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia is not a crystal ball

I have removed the 2008 entries, and commented out everything from Q4 2006 to 2007. They can probably come back once all of the following are confirmed for each:

  • Title is certain (no works-in-progress, working titles, etc.)
  • Production is known to be complete (IMDB might give a hint)
  • Premier airdate has been confirmed (including the day in the month)

If any of these isn't known, what we have is mere speculation. 81.104.165.184 09:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I had to remove the future dates cause someone added them again.Please don't add future dates cause Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball.--Cute 1 4 u 02:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Because some of the anons don't get the picture, that we are not to add future, unconfirmed movies (which is against wikipedia policy), I've semi-protected the page. This has gone on long enough. --lightdarkness (talk) 05:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big Fat Liar

Big Fat Liar is NOT a DCOM. It is just a movie produced about 2 years ago, and premiers on Disney Channel. Do not put Big Fat Liar there.

[edit] P.U.N.K.S

Where do you come up with this stuff?--haha169 18:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

In the supplement to the book "Disney A to Z: The Updated Official Encyclopedia.", which everybody can download from the official site, it states that P.U.N.K.S. is a DCOM. This document is updated monthly. As long as I see, the information related to P.U.N.K.S. has not been amended or removed since it was added. If anyone thinks that P.U.N.K.S. is not a DCOM or the inaccuracy of the supplement, shouldn't he/she report the errors to the author of the supplement via email first? Isn't all the information in Wikipedia based on the official documents?

[edit] Citations

I don't know if this is just me or not, but whenever i click on the cittions for the future movies, nothing happens. Wwhat should we do about this? --Jak 13:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I think we should close this article again to anonymous or newly reigistered users because they are the ones adding these speculative movies against the wishes of the majority and continue to do so when they are reverted. User:Lord Hawk 22:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Cheetah Girls 3 and Twicthes 2

WHY ARE THEY BEING REMOVED?? THERE IS LINK PROOF!!!!!!! Jtervin 20:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Those sites are not counted as being authentic, in that they are not based on decisions by the Disney Channel producers and do not state that either is in production. User:Lord Hawk 21:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Ok fine The Cheetah Girls 3 not bein true I get that but Twitches 2 is a direct statement from TIA MOWRY HERSELF!!! WHY THE FUCK IS IT STILL GETTING DELETED?? WHAT IS SHE...LIEING??? HELL NO Jtervin 19:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Calm yourself. You do not convince others by typing in caps like some panicky fan. You were told why they were removed. Tia is not an authority on production, Disney is. Disney has stated nothing to the effect that this supposed movie will ever exist. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 20:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok So I am just asking WHY DO U THINK TIA IS WHAT...LIEING TO THE PERSON? I MEAN SHE IS AN ADULT AND THAT WOULD BE VERY DUMB. YOU CAN'T FACE THE TRUTH...AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! Jtervin 18:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cadet Kelly

I thought Cadet Kelly was the highest rated DCOM ever. Try going to Cadet Kelly and High School Musical page. There says that Cadet Kelly is the highest rated DCOM.

  • Cadet Kelly got just 7.0 million viewers. High School Musical beat it and then The Cheetah Girls 2 did. Twitches almost beat it, though.172.163.197.68 22:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Then, if Cadet Kelly received 7.o million viewers, why is it not on the list of highest DCOM debuts?

  • Maybe someone needs to put it on there and take The Even Stevens Movie out.LAUGH90 21:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, we need a good official link for the top 10 debuts. I only know three for sure. For when Return to Halloweentown comes out. So if anybody knows a good website like that, please place it on here. Tcatron565 16:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


id like to ask right quick on the list of all thos dcom where is

  • Seventeen Again-Tia & Tamera Mowrey's grandparents use a soap that makes them younger again

[edit] High School Musical or The Cheetah Girls 2

Sblngpedia11 22:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, I knew that! (Thank you by the way). What I was talking about was which is now and soon to be the most succesful DCOM. Especially when it comes to Soundtrack album sales, DVD sales, Award nominations/wins and such.

And Don't Forget About "The Little Vampire" Which Also Is A Great Movie! Fun For Kids Teen Adults And Seniors Of All Ages!!!!!
