You can find the full list here  and any movies that have been missed because of various reasons like availability are on this list here. 

There were a lot of movies that I watched alone since my boys are busy, but I still loved (almost) every minute of this challenge!

Here are my favorites of this year.

Favorite Live Action Movie: It comes down to Cinderella and Cool Runnings! I'm going to have to go with Cinderella

Favorite Animated Movie: It's between Cinderella (my childhood favorite), Cars, Bolt, and Big Hero 6. Winner is Big Hero 6. I just adore this movie and everything about it. 

Favorite Disney Channel Movie: Brink

Favorite Sequel: Cinderella 3

Least likely to ever watch again: 1 movie actually had half of a star, the lowest rating I ever gave! That means Don't Look Under the Bed, I will not be watching you ever again!

2016 was a roller coaster of a year. I know 2017 has a lot to bring in the movie world and I'm excited to get some more of these movies watched and rated! I will be switching up my layout again and seeing what works best for the challenge. Change is good!  I'm going to keep on going in alphabetical order because I love the variety it brings. 

Duck Tales: the Movie

Duck Tales was a great TV show. I loved the movie, too! (even have the updated video game!) 

This movie is entertaining. I think kids today would still like it and the show. 

Down the Long Hills

Down the Long Hills is a made for TV movie that was on ABC. It tells the story of two young little kids who have to continue on their trail West after their wagons and campgrounds are attacked.

Mostly I thought the movie was sad. The little girl doesn't realize most of the movie that her mom was killed. I was excited when I realized the boy was the same boy from Honey, I shrunk the Kids though! 

Doug's First Movie

Back in the day, when ABC had "One Saturday Morning" cartoons, they bought Doug from Nickelodeon, made him a little older in high school, and progressed his story a little. Then Nickelodeon came out with their Rugrats movies so Disney tried to do the same with Doug. 

Every early 90's kid I know loved watching Doug Funny get into shenanigans with Skeeter, Roger, Patti, Porkchop, and the gang. 

Double Teamed

Time for a sports-themed DCOM! And possibly the only time Disney used two different actresses to play identical twins instead of using the split screen method! 

I love this movie because I like basketball, I think twins are neat, and it came out when I was still interested in DCOMs as a teen. 

Double Switch

This is a Disney Television Movie that involves one of Disney's favorite techniques, screen splitting! They could do this a hundred more times I still love to see it. This particular movie has identical strangers, not twins. I love the identical strangers - Lizzie Maguire has one, the Mickey version of Prince and the Pauper, and that model one with Justin Timberlake in it... 

  

I would watch this one again. It came out the year I was born and is so typical late 80's. I loved it. 

Double Platinum

This movie was aired on ABC and is about a famous singer who left her daughter for her career and one day she finds her again and helps her become a famous singer, too. There is a lot of drama.

Don't Look Under the Bed

This is a Disney Channel Original Movie that has a bit of a Halloween feel to it since it is about a boogey man and imaginary friends. 

I did not like this movie and it took me at least 4 tries to actually get through the whole thing. It apparently has some strong fans, though. 

Disney's American Legends

This is another set of short stories from Disney about a few of America's heroes. It is educational and short and easy to follow. 

I'm just not the biggest fan of the short stories I have been watching. 

Dinosaur

When I see a kids dinosaur movie, I'm always comparing it to the first couple of Land Before Times. Don't lie - you are, too. This one just didn't compare well. In Disney's defense, I think it was their first try at computer animations mixed with real landscapes (without Pixar being involved). 

The kid didn't seem too impressed either... In fact, I bet if I went and asked him now if he even remembers it he won't. 

Diamonds on Wheels

This movie was pretty suspenseful and funny! Get ready for a big heist in this Disney movie from the 70's. 

This movie is good if you are in the mood for a bit of 70's comedy. 

Desperately Seeking Santa

This is another ABC Family movie about Christmas. In this one, the main character is a PR manager for a mall and she hosts a contest for a new hunky Santa that she ends up falling for. 

It certainly isn't the best Christmas movie ABC Family has had to offer, but if you are one of those people who just love watching random Christmas movie after random Christmas movie, then here you go. (and you are in good company) 

Descendants

Next up is another DCOM - Descendants! I liked the movie. I'm a fan of continuing on classics or re-telling them. I thought this was a clever spin. 

If you are looking for a DCOM with music that isn't your typical teens in a high school or camp or beach setting and has some familiar characters, then this is the movie for you. 

Den Brother

Next up on the list is a Disney Channel Original Movie about a kid who pretends to be a Den Mother to help out his little sister's troop while he is suspended from his hockey team. 

It was an OK movie. I wasn't too impressed. I don't mind the little girl, though. She is in one of the current TV shows. 

Davy Crockett and the River Pirates

Another Davy Crockett adventure! Well, there are a couple of adventures. I think I liked this one better than the other. Davy and his friend get into all sorts of trouble again and show off how brave and talented they are. 

Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier

Next up, Davy Crockett! I'm not going to lie, I thought he was pretty dreamy. Ending was obviously sad. I didn't like all the violence but I suppose it is pretty true to our nation's history so of course it is in there. The relationship he had with his friend was pretty funny. 

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Next up is a Disney movie called Darby O'Gill and the Little People. The movie is set in Ireland and I'm Irish so this was fun to watch. 

Dadnapped

The other day we watched Emily Osment in Cyberbully and now we are watching her in Dadnapped, filmed 2 years earlier. This movie is a DCOM about a girl who wants to go on a vacation with her father who happens to be a famous author. He gets "dadnapped" by some fans and she has to save him. 

Cyberbully

Cyberbully is one of ABC Family's more dramatic and serious TV movies. It is about a girl who gets her own laptop and joins a social media website. She ends up getting bullied by her classmates online and has to learn to deal with the bullying.

I didn't used to cry during movies but ever since I had a kid it doesn't take much anymore. This one had me crying and the struggles kids deal with these days with the online bullying. 

Crimes of Fashion

Crimes of Fashion is a great ABC Family Original Movie starring Kaley Cuoco. It is an entertaining movie if you're bored and looking for something chick-flicky. 

Cow Belles

Time for another Disney Channel Original Movie with some of my favorite celebrity sisters, Aly and AJ!

In this movie, the girls play spoiled teens who are put to work at their dad's dairy. They start off very bad at their jobs. Someone steals all the money from the dairy's account and the girls have to help the workers save the dairy. 

Cool Runnings

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's Bobsled Time! 

We are beyond excited for this movie! So many good quotes and overall, a great story about a group coming together to try and defeat the odds. 

We highly recommend this one for your older kids and you! 

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

This made-for-TV movie was based off of a book called Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. The book was a remake of the Cinderella story but from the perspective one of the stepsisters. 

The movie was not my favorite version of Cinderella but it is meant to be different. I still want to read the book! 

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Oh, Lindsay Lohan. Your Disney movies are gold. 

Lindsay plays this dramatic teen who has lots of angst and lies a lot. Megan Fox is in this movie playing the mean girl and I just love that every time she pops up on the screen she has a theme song playing. It makes me feel like I desperately need one so people know I mean business when I walk into a room. 

Condorman

This was a cool movie! I wasn't expecting it. It had spies and superheros and was a fun movie to watch. 

Overall, I recommend it! It was good.

College Road Trip

Next up, a movie about a girl who is looking at colleges and has a very overprotective father. I'm sure I won't be the same way when the kid goes to college..... OK maybe I'm lying. 

The movie was good and entertaining overall. Sometimes that is all you need.
