He wasn't the first big name to pop up on the channel.

With the premiere of "Under Wraps" in 1997, Disney Channel began its era of original movies. Nearly 20 years later, 99 DCOMs have aired, including "Brink!," "Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century," and "Halloweentown."

In honor of "Adventures in Babysitting," which will be the 100th DCOM when it premieres on June 24, Disney Channel is going to air all of its original movies, starting with a four-day marathon of the 51 most popular ones over Memorial Day weekend.
