5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best Disney Channel Original movies....., March 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thirteenth Year [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I just can't seem to get enough of those Disney Channel Original movies! THE THIRTEENTH YEAR is about a 13-year-old named Coddy Griffin. When Coddy was born, his mother (who's a mermaid) had to abadon him on land to protect him from harm. He couldn't live in the water until 13, when he becomes a merman. Later, a human couple find him in their boat and take him home and adopt him. Years later, when he just turned 13, Coddy begins to realize that he is a bit different from his family and friends! It starts to occur while he's swimming at a swim meet on his school's swim team (he's the star and fastest swimmer on the swim team, by the way) and he starts to grow a fin and scales. He even starts sticking to walls and such! While all this is happening, Coddy is trying to win over his crush, Samantha. And trying to avoid the nerdy, but smart, Jess. Jess figures out that Coddy is a merman, though Coddy doesn't believe him because he thinks mer-people do not exist. Then he ends up meeting his biological mother, who really is a mermaid, and ends up learning the truth about his life. I highly recommend this movie and any other Disney Channel Original movie - and any of the Wonderful World Of Disney Original movies, too! Great, fun movie you can watch over and over again without getting bored. Very entertaining with great acting. Not at all cheesy or [...]. A must-see.

The thirteenth year, August 11, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Thirteenth Year [VHS] (VHS Tape)
At the begining of this movie, we see A baby being left on a boat by a mermaid. This "Baby" named cody starts noticing some Wierd changes. First he startts to grow scales on his arms and legs when he gets wet. He becomes very thirsty. His nerdy friend, Jess; a science loving brainiac, does some tests on him, and concludes that all of his symptoms show that he is turning into no other than a mer-man. His adoptive parents don't know what to do with him, his girlfriend, Sam, starts to notice something going on with him, and Jess tells him to stay away from water. Cody does not want to let his swim team down, or turn into "fish boy."
I really liked this movie. I saw it at age 12, and totally fell in love with it. I am so in love with it, I HAD to buy it.

cute and funny enough to ignore the corniness., July 15, 2004
This review is from: The Thirteenth Year [VHS] (VHS Tape)
My little sister and I saw this Disney Channel movie in a hotel room, and she loved it so much I bought it for her. It's too bad that it costs so much now. This movie about a boy discovering who he really is (a merman) is wonderful for children, and also for adults, as long as they don't expect something more than a made for tv movie aimed at kids. It has its fair share of cheese, and the special effects aren't great, but it's good for a few laughs and a fun 90 minute distraction. I'd have to give it five stars, based mainly on sentimental value. But don't take my word on it. It's worth renting and seeing for yourself.
