Anyone Remember This?

Anyone remember this?

I'm adding one to the list; we've figured out a couple of them from that list already so good job there. #4 is Star Kid, which came out in 1997 and was released on video in 1998. And I discovered #5 today- it's You Wish, and it ran for one season back 1997-1998 on ABC's TGIF block. Knowing this, I'm guessing that the film I'm thinking of thus miiight be from 1997 or 1998, but of course there's no guarantee. 

I'm asking about it on the You Know That Show...? forums at TV Tropes as well, but I haven't gotten any nibbles yet. Maybe a family member would have more information.

Family film, live action. It’s about, or at least features, a girl, 12ish, whose father is a comic book artist. There’s a scene at a birthday(?) party, at a pool, and there’s a live 60s-esque band who’ve been hired to perform, singing lyrics along the following lines: “ooh, she’s daddy’s little girl” (trying to search these lyrics only turns up an unrelated song.) The other kids there are making fun of the girl because of something in the latest issue of her father’s comic book. It’s a vaguely TMNT-esque publication, with anthropomorphic animals as the characters, and the Master Splinter-type character has his adopted-daughter-type figure start wearing a training bra now that she’s growing up; all the girl’s friends recognize this as being a thinly veiled stand-in for the girl’s own blossoming into womanhood and tease her for this.
