Disney Channel Original Movies Part 2 by makingsenseofmovies published on 2022-02-12T15:11:02Z What time is it? Time for a follow-up episode of Disney Original Movies. In this fabulous episode, we discuss classics like Cheetah Girls, High School Musical 2, and Wendy Wu. Listen to us evaluate the central friend/family dynamics within each movie. We found that HSM2’s gave secondary characters more room to breathe in a less Troy and Gabrilla focused movie. In Wendy Wu, we were able to appreciate the cultural impact Shen had on each member of the Wu family. Finally, in Cheetah Girls, we questioned why Aqua’s character arc is being brave enough to take the subway, while the others are given closure to layered family problems. Is your taste in Disney Originals more niche? Fear not, we can work this out. If you like the more off-the-beaten-path movies, we spend time unraveling the enigma that is Minutemen. Finally, we do a deep dive into the surprisingly philosophical movie Pixel Perfect, about the band Zetta Bytes who hit it big when Loretta, a holographic AI, joins the band. When Loretta has an identity crisis, she decides she’s gotta go her own way and disappears into the internet before a big gig. Come join Clare and Alaina as we discuss these movies, and so much more!
