Campus Confidential


Next up is an ABC Family Original Movie, Campus Confidential - starring Christy Carlson Romano! We just saw her as the mean girl in Cadet Kelly and now she is dealing with mean girls of her own. 


I liked the story line but couldn't get passed Cornelia being the same girl from Drive Me Crazy which came out 6 years before and she played a high school teenager in that movie, too! It must be nice to still be able to pass for a teenager. 
I feel like this movie came out when ABC Family was making lots of original movies. I can't remember the last time a new one came out. I'd better look into this!

Camp Rock 2


We're back with the sequel to Camp Rock, a DCOM. 


I guess I liked the first one better, but this one did have a bit more story going on with a competing camp and the back story of the camp's owner. I also liked to see the different styles back and forth with the two camps.

Camp Rock


Moving along with another DCOM, we watched Camp Rock. This was huge when I was in college (as were the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato) but I had never seen it before now. I think it was because I was anti-Jonas Brothers at the time. I figured they were just brunette Hansons or something. Anyway... 


It isn't my favorite, but it was alright. The kid liked the songs and the overall story was cute. Apparently it was such a big hit at the time they released a sequel... so on to that one!

Cadet Kelly


On to another classic DCOM - Cadet Kelly! Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano in their Prime Disney years. Amazing.


This movie has a fun competition and some cute romance. It is one of my favorite DCOMs. I especially liked how quirky and different Kelly was when everything else was uniform.

Buffalo Dreams


It is time for another DCOM, Buffalo Dreams.


I found this one to be a little boring. The kid and the annoying kids he races let the buffalo out and almost cause a stampede and then the good kids save the day. That is pretty much the gist of the movie. The end!

Brother Bear 2


The sequel to Brother Bear is next. I didn't realize how many stars voiced the characters in this one. Mandy Moore voices the main female Nita and I was surprised at how many Disney projects she's done, from Princess Diaries to Tangled to Kingdom Hearts. Great, now her first single is stuck in my head. Anyway, on to our thoughts!


The ending was a bit predictable but very sweet. I enjoyed it anyway!

Brother Bear


Next up is a movie called Brother Bear. This one came out when I was a teenager too cool for new Disney movies, so this was my first time seeing it! Here's what we thought.


Overall I liked the storyline, and I thought the little bear cub was super cute. Oh, and the moose brothers! Hilarious! The Kid seemed to like the movie when we watched it, but has now completely forgotten what it was all about.

Brink!


On to a Disney Channel Original Movie, Brink!


It is another rollerblading movie but is more focused on the sponsored teams and competitive sports side of it. I've always liked this one and what pre-teen didn't have a crush on the stars?! This is one I definitely enjoyed re-watching.

Bridge to Terabithia



Moving along in the Disney Movie challenge, I watched Bridge to Terabithia. I never saw this one before so I didn't know what to expect. 


Expect to be super sad! I liked the fantasy world and the wandering around the woods reminded me of my own childhood. The ending was sad and I wasn't sure why it had to happen like that. Overall  I liked it but it wasn't my favorite.

On to the next one!
