They should have a week every year on Disney where they air the old movies. That would be amazing. A lot of those movies are waaaay better than Camp Rock and High School Musical.

Please tell me what you think, and which is you favorite movie!

Answer 1

its old.

Answer 2

They should disney's so messed up these days. I miss all of the old disney movies. Susie Q, Wish Apon a Star, Stepsister from planet werid, Smart House, where some of my favorites.

Answer 3

i saw wish apon a star and susie q on you tube the other day. i agree disney needs to play older movies or at least release them on dvd.  

Answer 4

I feel exactly the same way, new Disney Channel sucks harder than a new Hoover

Answer 5

all i can say is...i wish they did too...

disney movies are my fav <3  

Answer 6

they have new ones

Answer 7

i think it is because they r old. me myself like alot of them.  there r some they show like Phantom of the Megaplex and the scream team they show maybe during October.  they don't think people would watch them because it isn't the in thing right now or 2 many people have seen it and they on't think it would get good ratings.  

Answer 8

i was thinking the same thing!! and i was talking to some of these little girls that watch disney and they like the kissing and stuff! i noticed that the old ones have more action and plot but the new ones are all based around cute guys and relationship drama, kids these days are into that kinda stuff.. weird huh.

Answer 9

Probably because someone else bought out the rights and now they only want to make money off of them because they are classics. People buy classics all the time. Back when the Disney channel was cool, they did play stuff like this....

Answer 10

A lot of them are probably politically incorrect these days

Answer 11

These movies are not PC,  watch them and see... thats why they aren't aired anymore.    

Answer 12

You can probably email the Disney channel and tell them you would like to see some of the old movies.

Answer 13

Theyve played Pixel Perfect a few times within the last couple years. Im pretty sure they played Now You See It... also. But i agree they should play them more!

Answer 14

i have always wondered that!!!!!! i to love old mobies epesialy the disney classics they air those sometime on toon disney and my favorite mocie would be a tie between lady and the tramp and aladin

(p.s. im not a guy ima girl who also loves the movie 50 first dates!!!!!)

Answer 15

Disney doesn't air those shows anymore because the kids don't know those old movies and so the kids arn't gonna watch em. Disney doesn't care if you E-Mail them or protest or whatever you would do to get those old shows back on the air. They only care about the kids. Plain and Simple.

Answer 16

cause disney is one **** up studio

Answer 17

I guess it's a simple case of "out with the old and in with the new." Which is heartbreaking since I do despise the HSM phenomenon. But I would bring back "Susie Q" and "Brink." Those two were super awesome.

My real question for Disney is where did the tradition of "Heavyweights" summer disappear to?

Answer 18

I LOVE Susie Q! I've always wished they would play that movie again sometime; I can't find it anywhere for sale.

I remember wathcing Phantom of the Megaplex when I was younger, too. The poster in the basement of props always scared me, haha.

Now You See It... and Don't Look Under the Bed used to scare me, too.

Jumping Ship, You Wish!, Pixel Perfect, Horse Sense, and Stepsister from Planet Weird, all sound very familiar, but I can barely even remember what they were about now!

These movies are SO much better than all these new "tween" ones. I mean, these are classics. I'm glad somebody agrees. And if you ever find out where we can watch them again, let me know! (=

Answer 19

they show some of those [like dont look under the bed] at halloween

sorry but camp rock is better than all of those

but my favorites on that list are pixel perfect and now you see it...

what about brink? i like that one too

Answer 20

i know huhh?

disney just keeps putting the same movies over and over again

and they forget about the old ones.

my favorite is pixel perfect and now u see it

and ur right.... the old movies are better than these new ones.
