During the 2000s and 2010s, Disney Channel aired special editions of several of their original movies that featured pop-ups with fun facts about the movies. These were referred to as the “What’s What Edition” or “Pop-Up Edition” in promos and on the title card. These pop-ups had facts that ranged from why the writers chose certain elements to something funny one of the cast members said on set. There were also some pop-ups where an actor from the movie would appear and say something. There has not been an archive of the pop-ups in a transcript format.

This format of special edition was seen in other children’s programming around this time period, such as the “Avatar Extras” edition of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which have been archived and are available on streaming platforms. <ref>[https://youtu.be/yzAnm9A5CSU The Avatar Extras version of “The Boy in the Iceberg”]</ref>

These editions were produced by Plastic Cow Inc. <ref name="cow">[http://plasticcow.com/#our-work-jump A highlight reel by Plastic Cow Inc. which includes "15 Pop-up Trivia Editions" of Disney Channel Movies and Series]</ref>

These would have aired only a few times each, as they were special editions and not the standard edition of the movies. Additionally, none of the DVDs for these movies, except The Cheetah Girls: One World, contain the “What’s What/Pop-Up Edition” as a bonus feature or setting. These special editions also cannot be found on Disney+ or other streaming platforms.

==Films==
There were at least 12 movies that had a “What’s What Edition” or a "Pop-Up Edition", as stated by Mickey Corcoran, the producer of these editions, on his website.<ref>[http://mickeyla.com Shots of Mickey Corcoran's work on some What's What Editions in the "Show Reel" video]</ref> There were also 3 episodes of Disney XD shows that had "What's What Editions".<ref>[http://adamproduces.com/wp/features/ Clips of Adam Mellema's work on some What's What Editions.]</ref> The movies that had these editions are:

There were production orders for What's What Editions for Minutemen and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, but neither of these made it to production stages. There was also a "Pop Goes the Evil" version of Descendants 3 that aired on November 24th, 2019 <ref>[https://twitter.com/bestofdoherty/status/1196392068446208001 A tweet with the trailer for Descendants 3: Pop Goes the Evil Edition.]</ref>, but this was created by a different company and has a very different style to the "What's What Editions". <ref>[https://twitter.com/beingtoswift/status/1196152780848877570 A tweet mentioning a What's What Edition of Descendants 3, and a possible airdate.]</ref> 

==Availability==
There is little information on when exactly each edition aired and how many times they aired on Disney Channel. The oldest movie is High School Musical, which premiered in January 2006 and the Pop-Up Edition aired that November.

It seems the What's What Editions of Starstruck, Lemonade Mouth <ref>[https://twitter.com/AhRheanna/status/690060714241835008 Tweet stating Starstruck or Lemonade Mouth What's What Edition was on Netflix.]</ref> and Princess Protection Program <ref>[https://twitter.com/theonly_mg/status/32720974348550144 Tweet stating Princess Protection Program What's What Edition was once available on Netflix.]</ref> were once on Netflix, although there is little evidence outside of tweets from people who remember this.

These editions also have extra content provided, in the Lemonade Mouth What's What Edition, there is vocal commentary from the cast.<ref>[https://twitter.com/WeAdoreRaura/status/494916582234402816 Tweet stating the Lemonade Mouth What's What Edition had vocal commentary from the cast.]</ref> In Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam What's What Edition, Disney Channel showed the alternate ending of the movie,<ref>[https://twitter.com/jameskolasinsk1/status/1447323645236457473 A tweet stating the alternate ending was in this edition of Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam]</ref> where Camp Rock win over their opponents Camp Star. This alternate footage is not an extra on any DVD release nor has this alternate ending been found online. The alternate ending was confirmed to have been filmed by extras on the set and the cast.

Several bumpers and promos of these editions of the TV movies have been archived. However, there is very little archival of the movies themselves.
