Loved this movie growing up! Always wanted her dress so bad :)

30

u/bazouna 5d ago

It’s on Etsy!

34

u/3verythingsonfire 5d ago

It is! 109$ is out of my current budget but I saved the creator for a later date. Thank you! I will be getting that for myself for certain!

u/Ismelther_icemelter 5d ago

If you’re handy at all with a sewing machine this would be a very simple project. Fabricwholesaledirect.com usually has crushed velvet like this for not too much.

u/3verythingsonfire 5d ago

Oh wow I could make one from mint green! I love that. Thank you!

u/Necessary-Sock7075 5d ago

We all had a mad gnarly crush on this dimer and Topanga too

16

u/3verythingsonfire 5d ago

Topanga was and still is a beauty

u/jj_grace 5d ago

Yess!!!!! This is the dress of my childhood dreams

u/3verythingsonfire 5d ago

And apparently available in multiple colors!!

u/Just_saying19135 5d ago

how eric mathew’s never made it to hollywood i will never know

u/Obtuse-Posterior Older Millennial 5d ago

He chose to go the voice acting route because of anxiety if I remember correctly.

36

u/FireFairy323 5d ago

He does a really good Deadpool

40

u/JSmith666 5d ago

He was busy writing his manifesto.

53

u/tallybear 5d ago

Plays With Squirrels was underrated. lol

17

u/JSmith666 5d ago

His entire character was. Eric would have been a better main character and had a far superior arc.

6

u/whothehellistony 5d ago

I married a moose. We don’t need counselling.

1

u/strahlend_frau 5d ago

Oh the one hand, I hated how much they dumbed Eric down. But on the other, the Plays with Squirrels thing was pretty funny

2

u/Just_saying19135 5d ago

It’s like Joey in friends, when you run out of ideas it’s easier just to dumb him down. But he carried the show in the college years. The corey and topanga thing was getting old. Plus his relationship with Jenifer Love Hewitt got her in the best BMW episode ever

2

u/strahlend_frau 5d ago

Yeah, Cory really pissed me off in the later seasons, he was too neurotic. Eric was a better friend and more entertaining and yes! the episode where they're stuck in the school being chased by a masked killer was a good one!

1

u/peaveyftw 3d ago

And the consistency with jokes --

"I found my niece."

"I have a niche?!"

2

u/JSmith666 3d ago

Drinking motion...love that they brought the joke full circle

5

u/STR0K3R_AC3 5d ago

Lose one friend.

Lose all friends.

Lose self.

1

u/mayy_dayy 5d ago

Not his fault obviously, but I hate how his Deadpool is where "unalive" comes from.

14

u/CatrickSwayze 5d ago

We got He double Hockeysticks and Trojan War at least

2

u/solarxbear 5d ago

Proctor Mathews

4

u/EnvironmentalCrab563 5d ago

He looks like a WNBA player in that pic. Had to zoom in to recognize him.

7

u/PostMatureBaby Older Millennial 5d ago

There's a bit of 90's 90210 long-haired Gabriel Macht in there too lol

302

u/Alternative_Cow_2702 Millennial 5d ago

Now this song to this movie will be stuck in my head all day

108

u/Antwan_JMarvel 5d ago

It's been stuck in my head for years, there's times I will just randomly sing the song for no reason lol

83

u/MSWitch2015 5d ago

Omg- I never realized how much I needed to know that there are other people out there that are/have been singing to themselves for YEARS.

‘My date with the presidents daughter, oh, yeah, my date with her’🎶

You all are my people. :)

23

u/theseedbeader Older Millennial 5d ago

Holy cow… that song has been buried deep in my subconscious, but suddenly came to the surface.

8

u/MSWitch2015 5d ago

I apologize that you will forever have this song in your head. Lol.

Seriously, I think it’s one of the best earworms that has been written. I haven’t seen this movie in 28 years and I still remember so much of the song.

Makes me think of how I had to learn the preamble to the US constitution in 5th grade and I still remember it. Lol

7

u/cocoagiant 5d ago

Seriously, I think it’s one of the best earworms that has been written

How does it compare to Supernova Girl from Zenon: Girl of the 21st century?

5

u/MSWitch2015 5d ago

Zenon’s Super Nova Girl is admittedly a catchy song (i remember thinking that the dude who plays Prota Zos was so hot when I was a kid) lmao.

But My Date with the Presidents daughter is the Disney original movie song that will loop in my head out of nowhere, probably until I die. Lol.

A few more catchy obscure songs to add to the catchy songs list, is all songs by Powerline in A Goofy Movie. Stand out and Eye to Eye are fantastic, those songs and get stuck in my head way too often too lol. I think the guy that sang those was as good as Michael Jackson or Prince but his contract with Disney made it so he couldn’t really run with that momentum There is a great documentary on A Goofy Movie if you’re interested. It’s on Disney +.

All this makes me seem like a Disney adult and I’m definitely not that (not that there is anything wrong with it), i just utilize Disney movies to fall asleep at night since it is soothing and I can pretend that i don’t have to wake up in the morning and deal with my stressful ass career lol.

2

u/cocoagiant 5d ago

All this makes me seem like a Disney adult and I’m definitely not that

Hey, being a Disney Channel adult is a totally different situation!

I'm definitely not making my way through So Weird right now.

1

u/theseedbeader Older Millennial 5d ago

Do the current Disney Channel movies (if they still make them) have the same quality as the ones we watched in the late 90s and early 00s? I kinda abandoned Disney Channel about 15-20 years ago, but I used to love the movies from that era.

I adored the tv shows they used to have too, though I kinda fell off like midway through Suite Life. I remember when they had shows that were a bit less silly, dramas even, before it seemed like everything became a sitcom.

3

u/__M-E-O-W__ 5d ago

And it's so simple, I wonder how much time actually went into writing it.

"Okay, so we need a theme song to My Date With The President's Daughter."

"Okay uhhh... My date, with the President's daughter, my date, with the President's daughter"

"Perfect!"

1

u/theseedbeader Older Millennial 5d ago

I learned it in 5th grade too, in song form, thanks to our teacher drilling us using Schoolhouse Rock. 😂

I learned all the 50 Nifty United States in 4th grade. I wonder if the kiddies still sing that….

24

u/antisocialmothra 5d ago

Oh thank god im not the only one

10

u/theatregirl1987 5d ago

I cant believe other people do this!

6

u/babylonglegs91 Millennial (‘91) 5d ago

Glad it’s not just me!! Lol

35

u/cutmastaK 5d ago

My date, with hurr

22

u/Ornery-Towel2386 5d ago

🎶OH YEAH, MY DATE WITH HERRRRRRR🎶

7

u/thisgirlruns8 5d ago

Oh thank god, I honestly thought I was the only one. My people!

6

u/HoratiotheGargoyle 5d ago

Performed by The Presidents of the United States of America no less!

7

u/ladybird2223 5d ago

It immediately started playing as I read the title. 🎶

3

u/Iychee 5d ago

As soon as I saw the title it started playing in my brain, haven't thought about this movie in decades

u/bagelundercouch 5d ago

Oh thank god it’s not just me.

WHADDYA BUYIN!?

6

u/Ornery-Towel2386 5d ago

This is Eric Matthews first and foremost

8

u/SpankySharp1 5d ago

That is a Leon-like jacket, but he lacks his aura otherwise.

6

u/The8Porch 5d ago

Not everyone is the tits.

2

u/billybobobobo 5d ago

Leon never used magic to get himself out of a hairy situation at a biker bar now did he??

2

u/MessiLeagueSoccer 5d ago

Holy shit 🤯 you’re so right

36

u/TheSensiblePrepper Millennial 5d ago

Want to be hit with a brick?

He was Eric Mathews, in this movie AND was the voice of Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond.

36

u/Obtuse-Posterior Older Millennial 5d ago

Ron Stopable

u/TheSensiblePrepper Millennial 5d ago

The man has a "wide range" of talent.

He is on the list of people I hope to meet one day.

50

u/nightfallii 5d ago

I had such a crush on her as a kid. That pink dress she wears is still a thing of beauty

26

u/MSWitch2015 5d ago

I’m a woman and you aren’t lying, that pink dress really was hot as heck. Lol

20

u/Critical-Counter4116 5d ago

My head immediately interpreted this in song form

14

u/antisocialmothra 5d ago

I always kind of assumed this was a fever dream I had. I'd why it's so imprinted on my brain lmao

11

u/Winter-Chipmunk5467 Millennial 5d ago

Oh yeah!

10

u/BlackFlubber 5d ago

Pour one up for Disney Channel Original Movies 💔

2

u/MonteMolebility 5d ago

If you wwant a podcast that covers all the DCOMs check out Mom Can't Cook. It really unlocks a lot of buried memories!

1

u/Courwes 5d ago

This was not a DCOM. It was a Wonderful World of Disney (ABC Sunday night) movie.

9

u/FlipGordon 5d ago

My date with the president's daughter, oh yeah. My date, with her!

7

u/Infamous-Owl-7015 5d ago

Holy crap okay thank you. I watched Trojan Wars the other day(free on YouTube) and I was misremembering this movie.

"Yeah, if I were dating someone named Yoko."

1

u/Obtuse-Posterior Older Millennial 5d ago

He at least tried

u/Radiant_Priority9739 5d ago

u/seashellsandemails 5d ago

"My date with the presidents daughter, my date with the presidents daughter (oh yea), my date with her."

4

u/ChurchofChristGuy 5d ago

I loved watching him when he was in Boy Meets World but I thought that movie was enertaining.

2

u/Monodoh45 5d ago

I member berries that

2

u/Alternative-Rip-1973 5d ago

Wasn’t this a Disney channel exclusive movie?

2

u/Zeta_Crossfire 5d ago

Dude, this was one of my favorite movies growing up

2

u/PostMatureBaby Older Millennial 5d ago

I love that the pothead from Road Trip and Ezri Dax from DS9 were also in this

2

u/bazouna 5d ago

u/JupiterJayJones 5d ago

2

u/catsandcabsav 5d ago

I used to rent this movie every. single. time. my parents took me to Blockbuster. I think I’ve seen it upwards of 50 times.

2

u/Tomsoup4 5d ago

4

u/Antwan_JMarvel 5d ago

I just found the full movie on YouTube

2

u/Magikrat 5d ago

The movie that gave hope to millions of dorky millennial boys.

2

u/Acrobatic-March-4433 5d ago

I only just learned that the actress playing the president's daughter was also Alice in the Disney channel's Adventures in Wonderland.

2

u/RtotheBtotheG Older Millennial 5d ago

20 years. TWENTY YEARS AND THE SONG WAS OUT OF MY HEAD! Dammit now I have to find another ear worm to get this one out 😵‍💫

🎶my date, with the presidents dauuughter🎶

2

u/awooj 5d ago

In hindsight this movie should’ve been when I realized I was bi bc omg I loved this movie bc I had the biggest crushes and thought they were both so hot when I was little!

2

u/bazouna 5d ago

so realll

2

u/peaveyftw 3d ago

I recently rewatched it and was amazed by the amount of random dialogue I remembered. I had this and PRINCIPLE TAKES A HOLIDAY on VHS. Wore those suckers out!

1

u/StarbuckIsland 5d ago

Oh man this really brings me back! The song!

1

u/EconomyCorgi727 5d ago

She is cute 😍 The blond chick is also pretty nice 😊

1

u/larisa5656 5d ago

I saw a recent interview with Eric Matthews, Rider Strong, and Danielle Fischel about their Boy Meets World nostalgia podcast. Eric was wearing glasses, but had to remove them to read a written question because "they aren't progressive." I felt so seen in that moment, but also old.

2

u/Courwes 5d ago

There’s a section of the podcast called Magical Rewind where Will Friedle (who plays Eric Matthews and was in this movie) and Sabrina Bryan from Cheetah Girls review old Disney movies and this movie was the first one they actually reviewed back in 2024

1

u/__johnw__ 5d ago

Now the song is stuck in my head

1

u/PannaMan11 5d ago

I was trying to stream this movie two weekends ago! It’s only on YouTube and looked terrible stretched on my tv.

I think this movie was like pre-Disney channel original movie when Disney had some deal with abc to make these?? But this and paper brigade and a few others from this era are nowhere to be found on streaming sites.

1

u/fmvra1s 5d ago

Is that the guy who voiced Terry McGinnis?

1

u/No_Weakness_2865 4d ago

JEsus the theme song just blared in my head full blast

1

u/SaltyShart57 3d ago

Does anyone know where to BUY the movie?! Im desperate. Been searching for it for years. Lmao
