Also...I thought this thread could be used to speculate new DCOMs for different DC stars.

Also, many DCOM stars have appeared in DC series. Stars from things like High School Musical, The Cheetah Girls, etc. have appeared in The Suite Life and That's So Raven. Nearly all of the people from HSM have been in The Suite Life, and Adriene Bailon has been in TSR as a bully, numerous times. Don't know if it counts thought. Oh, and that black dude from High School Musical will be in a DCOM of his own, called Jump.

Well, I think Annilese Van Der Pol is very good on "That's So Raven," but nearly everyone else I talk to doesn't like her. They think Chelsea is so unbelieveably dumb that she isn't funny. I personally think she is one of the highlights of the show. Now, I've never seen her in anything else, and the character Chelsea doesn't seem to often be put in situations that let us see any other signs of acting ability from her. It could be that she is just not a good actress and that Chelsea is the only character she is good at playing, or it could be that the general reaction from people is that they don't like Annilese. From what I've heard of her, she has a good singing voice. Better than Ashley Tisdale in my opinion. However, you don't see her doing a song for any Disney film, be it direct to video or theatrical. Since TSR bagan, Raven did a song for "The Lion King 1.5" and "The Haunted Mansion." Annilese was in the DCCoS music video's for "The Lion King" and "Cinderella," but hasn't been given her own music video. I'm just gonna assume that the general public doesn't respond to her well enough for Disney to put her in the lead role of a DCOM.

Goofystitch, I couldn't agree more.

And if you've ever seen the DCOM Stuck In The Suburbs, she has a song on its soundtrack called "I'm Over It." She was given a music video and it's a great song thanks to her great voice.

I have to agree with the folks who think her character is so dumb that it isn't funny. I mean, they make her dumber than the guys from Dumb and Dumber.

Nothing Yet....but just watch...

You’ve forgotten that Hannah Montana’s Mitchel Musso starred in Life Is Ruff. He portrayed Raymond Figg, Kyle Massey’s best friend, in the movie.

She was gonna have her own animated series........

I don't thnik it's because Annilese is a bad actress. Because in the scenes where Raven and everyone have to be more, um, "dramatic" and heartfelt Annilese seems the most geuine while Raven and Orlando Brown seem sort of fake, even Brenda Song seems that way when she does more serious scenes.

I too love Annilese, she is great on the show, the show should almost be That's So Chelsea and still work.

oh its called Kabot

Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe Anneliese probably doesn't *want* to be considered a Disney Channel girl? Like...maybe once her contract is through with Raven, she'd venture out into different non-Disney roles to expand her craft? Not every Disney actor stays with the company forever, and the ones that do probably choose to.

if that is the case, then I say good for her. Raven and Billy Ray Cyrus are enough to carry the Disney Channel right now. I really hope she makes it. I think she's great.

But isn't That's So Raven about to come to an end?

After which, is allegedly a spin-off about Raven in college, along with a Cory spin-off. Too much of the Baxter family on the Disney channel! Aauugghh!

I miss the days when Disney channel produced single-camera shows that were not just cookie-cutter comedies. When can we see the likes of So Weird, Jett Jackson, and Even Stevens again?

I'm pretty sure I missed a few others as well...

I think it's sad that Anneliese Van der Pol has to play such a dumb character. She really is a great actress and according to IMDB:

IMDB wrote: A graduate of the Musical Theater Program at The Orange County High School of the Arts, California, Anneliese (pronounced AH-na-LEE-zah) has already made an impressive mark in the world of entertainment. For her captivating performance as Eva Péron in the Buena Park Civic Theater production of Evita (1996), she not only won rave reviews from the Los Angeles Times but also earned a place in history as the the youngest actress - at the age of 15 - to play the role in a professional production. More recently, Anneliese starred as Laurey in Oklahoma! (1955) for Austin Musical Theater, and was nominated for Best Actress In a Musical.

I wish she'd release a CD or something because she does have a great voice. "Candle on the Water" was probably the best track on Disneymania4 because of her and it was new to the series and lesser known than most of the other covers. Also, in addition to "Over It" she also sang "A Day in the Sun" for the That's So Raven soundtrack.

Thanks Kram! I can't believe I forgot those.
I updated the list...but I left out the WWoD movies...since they're not DCOMs.
If anyone else can think of other DC stars that starred in other DCOMs.
From any TV show that was ever on DC.

That's all I can think of right now. I tend to block some movies from my mind after awhile...

Disney also didn't produce "Tales from Avonlea," yet they released the first season on DVD. "So Weird" is my all time favorite Disney Channel show. I really wish it would get a DVD release. With Disney Channel's shows, it seems like they come up with the idea, or buy ideas, and then send it to small companies to make the shows. I read about "Lizzie McGuire" and it seemed like Disney did most of the casting, with some input from Stan Rogow productions, and then kind of let them do their own thing. I read that the Disney executives had a lot of issues with the episode where Lizzie buys her first bra and they didn't want to air it, but the producers convinced them and it ended up being one of the top 10 rated episodes. Does that mean that "Lizzie McGure" was not made by Disney? I say that because Disney a.) started the show, b.) paid for the show, and c.) had input into the creation of each episode that it is Disney AND Stan Rogow. Same with the other shows. Disney created "So Weird," "Jett Jackson," and "Even Stevens" and then sent them to small production companies to be made. Disney owns them, Disney funded them, Disney helped create them. They are Disney. You could argue that "Avonlea," "Ready or Not," and "In a Hearbeat" are not Disney, however, because they are made by Canadian production companies and Disney buys the U.S. rights to them. The most recent Canadian bought shows on Disney Channel are "Naturally Sadie" and "Life With Derek."
