Here's what I like about Disney Channel Original Movies: they are fun, free of offensive content, age appropriate and uplifting. In a day and age when media is what it is, those qualities are appreciated. So while Disney Channel movies may be a little cheesy and most won't win any awards for artistic merit, they have an important place.
16 wishes follows in that tradition with a quirky story about a girl whose sweet 16 birthday starts out all wrong, but her luck changes when a random woman offers her a box full of magical candles that have the power to make all of her birthday wishes come true. A new take on the old adage, "Be careful what you wish for," 16 Wishes conveys positive messages about friendship and values, and it reminds kids that there's no need to grow up too fast -- really. The movie is aimed at young girls and tweens (about ages 8-14) and is rated TV-G. The movie premiered on Disney Channel last night and will encore this evening, tomorrow, and throughout the month (check your Disney Channel listings).
