44 Absolutely Iconic Disney Channel Moments And Segments From The 2000s

Bring back Mike's Super Short Show!

Watching Disney Channel is an interesting experience because even the commercials are all about...Disney. And Disney Channel in the 2000s was just an iconic time all around.

Disney Channel

So let's take a trip down memory lane and remember some of the best little Disney Channel things from the '00s:

1. The old DCOM intro with the kids jumping over film reels...

Disney Channel

Obviously, this one had to be first. Seeing that kid jump over the film reel literally fills me with so much serotonin. Whenever you saw this intro, you knew you were about to have a good night.

2. ...and the later one that navigated through, like, film "sets" of various DCOMs:

Disney Channel

Not as good, but alas, all good things must end.

3. Express Yourself (where Disney Channel stars would talk about, like, their families or America):

Disney Channel

My favorite part about these were how random and far-reaching the topics were. One would be like, Kyle Massey talking about his best friend and then the next one would be Hilary Duff talking about the state of America.

4. Friends For Change (where Disney Channel stars gave PSAs about the environment)...

Disney Channel

5. ...and the "Lights, Camera, Take Action" behind-the-scenes special they did:

Disney Channel

I can't believe it's been 13 years since Demi, Selena, and Miley stopped global warming.

6. BLAM! (where Mickey Mouse characters got serious injuries as some guy shouted "BLAM!"):

Disney Channel

Still not sure what "blam" means or why we were so stoked to watch serious injuries occur.

7. Disney’s 3-minute Game Show (where kids would be quizzed on recent DCOMS):

Disney Channel

8. Brian O’Brian (where some dude named Brian would get up to shenanigans):

Disney Channel

And every time, you would watch and go, "Isn't that Arwin from Suite Life of Zack and Cody?"

9. The classic "You're watching Disney channel" with the Disney stars drawing ears:

Disney Channel

10. Music videos for Radio Disney:

Disney Channel

Disney Channel was practically MTV.

11. ...specifically the covers of classic Disney songs by people like the Jonas Brothers and Ashley Tisdale:

Disney Channel

Never forget the JoBros rock cover of "Poor Unfortunate Souls." Should've cast them in the live-action as Ursula.

12. Shorty McShorts' Shorts:

Disney Channel

These were pretty short-lived (ha – get it?).

13. Miniscule (where creepy-ass stop-motion bugs would do stuff):

Disney Channel

14. High School Musical singalong...

Disney Channel

My poor parents in the other room listening to me scream the lyrics off-key...

15. ...and the dance-along version...

Disney Channel

16. ...and the pop-up version:

Disney Channel

17. Disney Channel Games:

Disney Channel

Better than the Olympics and the Superbowl combined.

18. Imagineer that with Tom Morrow 2.0 (where some robot would talk about Disney rides):

Disney Channel

Still have nightmares about this dude.

19. Cool Pets (where kids would literally just talk about their bird or goldfish for a minute):

Disney Channel

I wanted to be on this so badly.

20. Show Your Stuff (where kids would show off their collections, like Maddy and her iconic snow globes!):

Disney Channel

We all aspired to be as cool as Maddy.

21. Pass the Plate (where Brenda Song would talk about international food):

Disney Channel

(French accent) "Julian! It's not a red bell pepper, it's a spicy pepper! And if we put it in the ratatouille, it will be too spicy to eat!"

22. Shaun the Sheep shorts:

Disney Channel

23. Get Connected (where kids would introduce Disney video games):

Disney Channel

24. Really Short Report (where kids would promote DVD releases):

Disney Channel

For some reason, the hosts' names were weather puns.

25. Movie Surfers (where kids would give a behind-the-scenes look at Disney movies):

Disney Channel

26. As the Bell Rings (where Demi Lovato and friends would hang out between classes)...

Disney Channel

27. ...specifically the part when Tiffany sang the alphabet backwards:

Disney Channel

Where is Tiffany now??? The people need to know.

28. The annual New Year's Eve shows hosted by the casts of Disney Channel shows:

Disney Channel

29. That time we voted for which celeb would make a cameo at the end of High School Musical 2:

Disney Channel

Miley won, obv.

30. That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana:

Disney Channel

Avengers: Infinity War WISHES it was this iconic.

31. Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana:

Disney Channel

32. That Suite Life episode when they put on High School Musical:

Disney Channel

33. That time Selena Gomez guest-starred on Hannah Montana:

Disney Channel

34. That time the Jonas Brothers came on Hannah Montana:

35. Mike’s Super Short Show (where two kids would talk about new Disney movies):

Disney Channel

How old were you when you realized that these two kids were not actually brother and sister in real life?

36. Disney 411 (which gave the latest Disney news):

Disney Channel

37. Disney 365 (ditto):

Disney Channel

If there's one thing about Disney in the 2000s, it's that they would have 8,000 versions of the same thing (lookin' at you, Mike's Super Short Show, Really Short Report and Movie Surfers).

38. Cars Toons/Mater’s Tall Tales:

Disney Channel

39. What A Life! (with kids talking about their parents' jobs):

Disney Channel

41. Re-Micks (where modern music like "I Gotta Feeling" would play over old Mickey cartoons):

Disney Channel

42. Have a Laugh (where they would just play clips of old Mickey cartoons):

Disney Channel

They were REALLY pushing their back catalogue of cartoons.

43. Radio Disney Top 10 in 60 seconds:

Disney Channel

Once again...better than MTV.

44. And finally, this wasn't on Disney Channel, but those old online games like "Tipton Trouble" and "Bueno Rufus":

Disney
