The Color of Friendship is one if not the best Disney Channel Original Movie. I'm not gonna lie, it is quite rare to see an actual good Disney Channel movie nowadays. The last time they did something good was Let It Shine. And the problem with their movies nowadays is they reserve plots that are generic and their quality of storytelling pretty low, even for TV standards. This would result for them to be either mediocre at best or horrible at worst. But before they have became an embarrassment, they were just simple teen movies back in the early days of their television program. And this movie is the most enjoyable one they have made about races. It presents both the different cultures of America and Africa and the bigotry of other races (and unfortunately are still happening to this day). And honestly, I have never saw Disney Channel have the courage to present a message like this. Powerful messages is something we should get more out of Disney Channel, not just mediocre ones. Which would make both the story and the characters a lot memorable. This is probably an important one for you to check out considering this review has been posted for Black History Month. However, the commentary on this would more be something adults to fully understand. Honestly, Disney Channel has not just lost their touch with their recent films, but also with most of their sitcoms that try to be comedic and wacky instead of making them fun. But when watching the movie, it feels the program does have their charm of actually make good quality projects. But hey, at least they've made good cartoons in recent years.
