Let's try this again

Breakdown of DCOMs based on whether they could cross over with CTDL; this is not a list of which do, but which could

I did not consider anything after 2004. Main two disqualifiers are "other supernatural element" and solely-personal-opinion "Bush-era vibes." "Doesn't conflict" means it doesn't have either of those but I don't really feel like the same universe based on, again, purely subjective vibes. By contrast, "crossover possible" means it doesn't conflict and I could hypothetically see it working

I would love to know your thoughts on these!

Don't Look Under the Bed - No, supernatural

Cadet Kelly - No, EXTREME Bush-era vibes

Tru Confessions - No, Bush-era vibes

Get a Clue - No, Bush-era vibes

Gotta Kick It Up! - Technically doesn't conflict but it's weird because it's based on a true story so going to say no

A Ring of Endless Light - No, supernatural (but it gets a few points for having otherwise similar aesthetics to TTY/shared production team/plagiarizing the third act plot/re-use of stock footage)

The Scream Team - No, supernatural

2003

You Wish! - No, supernatural

Right on Track - Haven't seen this but the summary gives me Bush-era vibes so going to say no

The Even Stevens Movie - No, plain and simple

Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off - Doesn't conflict

The Cheetah Girls - 50/50 on this one based on vibes and I haven't seen it in a while so not sure how much it might conflict/whether it references post-9/11 actual events

Full-Court Miracle - Technically doesn't conflict but it's weird because it's based on a true story so going to say no

2004

Pixel Perfect - No, weird tech that I'm counting as supernatural

Going to the Mat - Haven't seen this but the summary gives me Bush-era vibes so going to say no

Zenon: Z3 - No, supernatural

Stuck in the Suburbs - Doesn't conflict, crossover unlikely but gets extra points for 90-esque popstar fandom, playing with the advent of new tech and influence on teen culture, and thinly veiled queer subtexts

Tiger Cruise - This specifically references 9/11 which does not happen in the CTDL universe so no

Halloweentown High - No, supernatural
