Magic is a word that has become synonymous with the Walt Disney Company. It should come as no surprise that nearly 10% of the 100 Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs) so far have featured magic as a major theme and in this, the fifth guide to all 100 DCOMs, we shine a spotlight on the most magical DCOMs of all time. (Be sure to check out Part 1: Science Fiction, Part 2: Sports, Part 3: Spooky Films and Part 4: Music)

The Luck of the Irish

My favorite film in this category has become somewhat of a St. Patrick’s Day tradition in my house.

And when his mother shrinks, he discovers that he is half-leprechaun and having the gold coin in his possession would allow his Leprechaun family members to pass as human. Now Kyle must face off with the evil leprechaun who stole his coin in order to save his family. (Airing Wednesday, June 22nd, at 12:00 AM)
