It’s quite common in the Disney media world to see actors start out with Disney Channel shows and move on to Disney movies and recording contracts. Disney+ is full of films starring the company’s most well-known names.

Nostalgic viewers of various ages might remember when their favorite actors first got started. For fans who would like to see some familiar faces, there are plenty of opportunities to see seasoned Disney stars in all kinds of movies. What are the connections between their series roles and their movies?

10 College Road Trip: 4.3

By 2008, Raven-Symoné had already been in numerous Disney shows and movies. It doesn’t have the highest rating, but her feature film that year, College Road Trip, is actually hilarious and full of stars that Disney Channel fans would know.

It’s not every day that there’s a Disney movie about preparing for college, and Raven’s road trip with Martin Lawrence reveals how exciting and frightening that process can be both for students and parents. There are also some fun, smaller roles for stars like Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior), Margo Harshman (Even Stevens) and High School Musical’s Lucas Grabeel.

9 Den Brother: 5.4

Den Brother (2010) is one of most underrated DCOMs of the 2010s. It stars Hutch Dano and Genevieve Hannelius as siblings who get an unusual chance to bond. When Emily Pearson’s (Hannelius) Girl Scout troop needs a new den mother, her brother Alex (Dano) is forced to step in to keep the troop afloat.

The ice hockey star meets his match with a bunch of determined and resourceful girls. Hutch Dano was a series regular on Disney’s Zeke and Luther while Genevieve Hannelius starred on Dog with a Blog after appearing in several other Disney Channel shows.

8 Cadet Kelly: 5.5

Fans of 2000s Disney know that Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens) and Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) worked together in Cadet Kelly. What some people don’t realize is that this iconic DCOM starred yet another Disney Channel series regular.

Shawn Ashmore played Tyler Connell on one of Disney Channel’s most dramatic shows, In a Heartbeat (2000-2001). Sarah Gadon, who played Amanda in Cadet Kelly, had a recurring role on In a Heartbeat.

7 Princess Protection Program: 5.6

Those who were tween Disney Channel fans in the late 2000s are likely to remember what once seemed like an unbreakable friendship: Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.

The stars played real-life best friends in Princess Protection Program (2009), but they were already recognizable before that. Selena began Wizards of Waverly Place in 2007, and Demi had completed the first Camp Rock (2008) and secured her starring role on Sonny with a Chance in 2009.

6 Minutemen: 5.8

Minutemen (2008) is one of Disney Channel’s only movies to feature time travel. Luke Benward, who would later have an arc on Good Luck Charlie, plays a math and science genius who builds a time machine. Jason Dolley (Cory in the House, Good Luck Charlie) and Nicholas Braun complete the triumvirate as Virgil Fox and Zeke Thompson, respectively. Virgil, Charlie, and Zeke don winter athletic gear whenever they travel through time.

Chelsea Kane, who would later play Stella on Jonas, is Virgil’s love interest. This movie was Jason Dolley’s second Disney Channel Original Movie out of four.

5 The Last Song: 6.0

The Last Song (2010) brought out Miley Cyrus’s flair for dramatic acting. In the popular theatrical movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ novel, Miley plays Ronnie, a talented pianist who has given up her gift after watching her parents go through a divorce.

Ronnie and her brother, Jonah, stay with their dad for the summer and learn that he is terminally ill. While Ronnie learns to love her dad and her music again, she also falls in love with Will Blakelee (Liam Hemsworth). Though the selection isn’t typical for Disney+, it’s nice to see the lead of Hannah Montana in one of her first more mature roles.

4 The Game Plan: 6.1

The Game Plan (2007) stars Madison Pettis from Cory in the House as Peyton Kelly, a young girl who runs away and finds her father for the first time while she is supposed to be at camp.

Her dad is Joe Kingman (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), a star football player who doesn’t give kids a second thought. Peyton changes his heart and even gets her own bedazzled room at Joe’s luxury condo. This family movie is still funny and touching today.

3 Descendants: 6.4

The Descendants trilogy has become one of Disney’s biggest franchises of recent years. On a slightly different plane from its live-action remakes, the Descendants movies focus on the children of classic Disney villains. The films are also led by some of Disney Channel’s biggest stars of the last decade.

Dove Cameron played twins Liv and Maddie on Liv & Maddie, the late Cameron Boyce played Luke Ross on Jessie, and Boo Boo Stewart and Sofia Carson both guest-starred on Disney shows before they were in Descendants.

2 Clouds: 7.5

Clouds (2020) is based on the true story of Zach Sobiech, a teenage musician and songwriter who died of osteosarcoma in 2013. Sobiech is portrayed by Fin Argus, and Disney star Sabrina Carpenter (Girl Meets World) plays Zach’s friend and musical partner, Sammy Brown.

The film includes Zach Sobiech’s hit song “Clouds” as well as the duet he writes with Sammy Brown, “Fix Me Up.”

1 The Greatest Showman: 7.6

Many fans flocked to theaters in 2017 to see Zac Efron sing and dance again, but they especially enjoyed Zendaya’s outstanding performance. The Greatest Showman features the Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover star as Anne Wheeler, a beautiful trapeze artist and love interest for Efron’s Phillip Carlyle.

Zendaya’s voice is so clear and powerful against Zac’s on their duet, “Rewrite the Stars.”
