=== Background ===
Made-for-television films were produced for the Disney Channel as early as 1983, when the channel officially launched. However, up until August 23, 1997, they were released under the "Disney Channel Premiere Films" label. On October 25, 1997, Disney Channel started producing their own TV movies under the "Disney Channel Original Movies" banner. The first official Disney Channel Original Movie was ''Under Wraps''. On June 24, 2016, Disney Channel premiered its 100th original film, ''Adventures in Babysitting'' (a remake of the 1987 film of the same name).

'''Logo:''' In an outdoor environment at sunset with grass, shrubs, and houses, we see a cream-colored '50s-esque car come driving down a road, before coming closer to us to show that it is actually levitating. All of a sudden, its front end and bumper slide out and the car opens up a la a Transformer to reveal green chairs, a projection screen that grows, a film projector, and bags of popcorn and drink cups that slide out from the inner sides of the car. The camera pans up to the projection screen as the car has fully transformed, as it shows a purple-colored film countdown with the 1997 Disney Channel logo in the center. As the countdown animates, "ORIGINAL" at the top and "MOVIE" at the bottom are wiped in.

===5th Logo (June 24, 2016)===


'''Logo:''' We start with a close-up of a laboratory-like environment with what appears to be some neon lights. We see a gear with the logo for ''Halloweentown'' on it spin around as a light lights up as it rises. The gear then reveals the logo for ''Descendants''. We then cut to another close-up, this time showing two gears with the logos of ''Teen Beach Movie'', ''The Cheetah Girls'', ''Camp Rock'', ''High School Musical'', and ''Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie'' on them. We then cut to yet another close-up with some more neon lights with a gear with the logos of ''Good Luck Charlie: It's Christmas!'', the reboot of ''Adventures in Babysitting'', and ''Zenon'' on them. We then cut to the number "''100''" made out of neon lights (with 6 outlines surrounding it and with the second "''0''" having Mickey Mouse ears) with "CELEBRATING" on top of the "''10''". Below that is the current Disney Channel logo with a black rounded rectangle that reads "ORIGINAL MOVIES" next to it. It is not lit up at first, but once the camera (which is at an angle) turns to face the logo head-on, everything lights up. A few blue and purple spotlights shine on the logo as we see some pixie dust fly by.

'''Logo:''' On a pink background, with a stylized Mickey Mouse head engrained, a yellow outline of the same head is seen to the right of the screen. Little emojis are seen on the bottom of the screen, floating from right to the left side of the screen. Parts of a yellow tab with it appears by sliding from the left, coming from the yellow outline. While this is happening, the background becomes light blue. When the tab is done forming, a white circle with the stylized head in the center of it appears, and it causes the tab to become larger and contain the 2014 Disney Channel logo. The tab goes away, leaving the logo and causing the background to become gray and two searchlights appear to the left and the right of the logo and start animating. When the tab goes away, a yellow banner, which design is similar to the one seen in the 5th logo slides down below the Disney Channel logo and the words, "ORIGINAL MOVIE" is written on it in purple.
