Top 10 Most Rewatched Disney Channel Moments
#10: The Tipton Commercial “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” (2005-08)
Welcome to the Tipton! Ah, who could forget that wonderful commercial for our favorite fancy hotel? Throughout this episode of “The Suite Life,” the staff goes wild trying to make the perfect advertisement, gifting us with three potential versions to choose from for this list. While London’s attempt is full of hilarious gaffes and Mr. Moseby’s version is nothing short of brilliant, we had to go with the third and final iteration. With a catchy tune beautifully sung by Carey and surprisingly smooth dance moves from Zack and Cody, we’ve got this one on repeat.
#9: “Breaking Free” “High School Musical” (2006)
Another Top 10 Breaking Character Moments on Saturday Night Live
We’re soooooaring! Flyyyying! Perhaps the most iconic song from one of Disney’s most iconic movies, this amazing Troy and Gabriella duet solidified their status as the Disney Channel it-couple. “High School Musical” is chock full of stellar songs, including another stand-out duet from these lovebirds, but this anthem wormed its way into our heads and hearts and never let go. Towards the end of the film, Troy and Gabriella race against the clock to try and make it to callbacks to deliver us this beautiful moment. They almost didn’t make it, but we’re so glad they did. Try not to sing along at the top of your lungs - we dare you!
#8: Aaron Carter’s Cameo “Lizzie McGuire” (2001-04)
In 2001, it didn’t get much cooler than Lizzie McGuire, and it didn’t get much dreamier than Aaron Carter. This episode of the famous teen show replayed in young girls’ hearts for years. When Aaron Carter comes to town to shoot a video, Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo sneak on set. Things go haywire and the trio eventually gets caught, but after some convincing, one of them is allowed to meet Aaron. Selflessly, Lizzie lets Miranda be the lucky girl – but her good mojo comes back to her in the best way. Having left her tape recorder in Aaron’s dressing room, Lizzie heads back to get it – only to get caught under the mistletoe with Mr. “I Want Candy'' himself.
#7: “We See Right Through Your Funky Hat” “Wizards of Waverly Place” (2007-12)
Here’s a test – when you see a person in public, and they’re wearing a strange hat, do you automatically think “overslept, hair unsightly, trying to look like Keira Knightley?” If so, you might be a “Wizards of Waverly Place” fan. Alex Russo and Harper Finkle’s friendship has a lot of memorable moments, but the “Crazy Hat Song” has to take the cake. With catchy lyrics and cute choreo, BFFs everywhere tried to recreate the “Crazy Hat” dance, making it a lasting moment in Disney Channel history.
#6: “Do You Carry a Lunch Box?” “That’s So Raven” (2003-07)
Throwback to when everyone would yell this at their friends in the cafeteria at school! In this episode of “That’s So Raven,” our favorite psychic and her crew dress up as a fake celebrity and her entourage to help Raven’s dad get his job at a restaurant back. Just about every line in this scene is outlandish and outrageous – from “Does you know who I be?” to “Get me J-Lo!” But this is always the line that has us belly-laughing and rewinding the most. It’s a strange thing to say on its own, but Chelsea’s A+ delivery really takes it over the top.
#5: The Cheetah Girls’ Final Performance “The Cheetah Girls” (2003)
Top 10 Most Rewatched Animated Disney Channel Moments
The first Cheetah Girls movie had us all roaring for more. Like “High School Musical,” this film is filled with incredible jams from top to bottom, but “Cheetah Sisters” does the emotional work of bringing the girls back together from their fallout at the end. In addition to the perfect song, everything about the surrounding scene is unforgettable – from singing Toto out of a hole, to the matching sweatsuits and headbands (hello 2003!), to the outstanding choreography, this performance solidified the Cheetah Girls as Disney icons.
#4: The PRNDL “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” (2005-08)
Top 10 London Tipton Moments from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Where to begin with London Tipton? Moreover, where to begin with her love/hate relationship with Mr. Moseby? The two have plenty of memorable moments together, but Mr. Moseby teaching London to drive stands out from the rest. This entire scene is a crowd-pleaser, featuring electric chemistry between Phill Lewis and Brenda Song, but nothing beats Moseby’s reaction to London’s...creative name for the gear shift. He tries to keep his cool when London wants all the mirrors facing her, and when she refuses to buckle her seatbelt for fear of wrinkling her outfit. But PRNDL...that’s a gear too far.
#3: The Jonas Brothers Cameo “Hannah Montana” (2006-11)
Top 10 Disney Channel Characters We All Had A Crush On
Sweet niblets, it’s the Jonas Brothers! Is it any surprise that the highest rated “Hannah Montana” episode of all time included the famous trio? Not to us, it’s not! This moment is rewatchable and important for a lot of different reasons. It marks one of the first times audiences got to see the Jonas Brothers on their television screens as actors. At the time the episode aired, stars Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas were dating, making her the envy of teen girls everywhere. And, of course, it gave us the jam “We Got the Party.” Everywhere we go, everybody knows - we won’t forget this cameo any time soon.
#2: Kim & Ron Kiss at Prom “Kim Possible: So the Drama” (2005)
Top 10 Darkest Disney Channel Moments
What’s the sitch? Well with this entry, it’s romance. We spent years wondering whether our favorite cartoon best friends, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, would finally realize their feelings for each other. After seasons of will they/won’t they, we got what we’d been waiting for in the TV movie “Kim Possible: So the Drama.” While captured by Dr. Drakken in yet another attempt at world domination, Ron confesses that he loves Kim. His confession encourages her to keep fighting Drakken and ultimately prevail. At the end of the film, the two go to prom where they share a beautiful kiss, teaching a generation of kids the meaning of OTP. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Sí, Se Puede, “Gotta Kick It Up!” (2002) We Still Say This Daily Under Our Breaths to Motivate Ourselves “Undercover Superstar”, “That’s So Raven” (2003-07) History in the Making, Indeed Jake Tells the World He Loves Miley, “Hannah Montana” (2006-11) We’re Still Reeling from That Sound the Reporter Makes The Final Dance, “Cadet Kelly” (2002) A Two-Girl Revolution in All Its Drill Team Glory Phil & Keely Finally Get Together, “Phil of the Future” (2004-06) We Hope Phil Waited for Keely in the Future... Even If She Was Really Old
#1: “What Dreams Are Made Of” “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” (2003)
This 2003 Disney masterpiece is filled with rewatchable moments from start to finish. From shopping sprees, to motorcycle rides through Rome, to finally seeing Lizzie and Gordo kiss, we could have gone with a number of moments. But, nothing beats the final performance of “What Dreams Are Made Of.” This is the moment we get to see Lizzie finally come into her own. The evil Paolo has been revealed to be a fraud, so Lizzie gets to sing to a crowd of thousands, first with Isabella, and then by herself – and at the Colosseum, no less! This moment inspired a plethora of fans to grab their hair brushes and dance around their rooms, wishing for that Italian pop star fantasy to come true.
