by Karlton JahmalBuzzFeedBuzzFeed StaffI’m Karlton, the Senior Editor and Operations Lead here at BuzzFeed, I work with the sponsorships and branded teams, but also write and edit a wide variety of articles.Over the past five years, I've also written and edited a variety of topics, from celeb interviews to politics and sports.
In the forever nostalgic r/Millennials thread on Reddit, Excellent_Demand_354 wrote, "I was perusing Disney+ recently and saw Brink! pop up. After watching it I started getting recommendations for all the other extreme sport movies that Disney put out... such a weird trend in movies haha but they were so fun. Got any favorite movies/scenes from this era?"
The responses opened up the deepest chasms of memories from wrinkles in my brain I didn't even know existed. While most answers drew from Disney Channel films, others noted actual Disney movies. Here are some of the best reactions:
