Disney channel stars(Christy Carlson Romano)


The sweet-voiced Christy Carlson Romano got her start as one of the orphans in a production of Annie. She later toured with The Sound of Music as one of the Von Trapp children (with Marie Osmond playing the role of Maria) but growing up with the nickname "Aretha Franklin Wannabe" pointed to something more ambitious. Playing a singing banana in Woody Allen's Everybody Says I Love You wasn't enough either so Romano auditioned for the role of Tawny, a secondary character on the Disney Channel's original comedy Even Stevens. She didn't get it, but instead got the lead role, Ren Stevens. Disney later used Romano to be the voice of Kim Possible, an animated action gal whose show became a hit. In 2004, Disney released her self-titled debut album. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

[edit] Plot
The show revolves around Cory Matthews; the other characters often serve to help him cope with his difficulties in achievement in school, his moral conflicts with his best friend, Shawn Patrick Hunter, and his trouble understanding his girlfriend Topanga Lawrence. Shawn is dissimilar to Cory; he is a social rebel, he has an unsupportive family, and he has success with women, something which Cory envies at times. Cory's mother and father (Amy and Alan Matthews) are hard-working people trying to make a decent living in order to raise their three children (by the end of the series, a fourth child, Joshua Matthews, is born). Their other two children are Eric Matthews, the funny, handsome, half-witted older brother who tries to distance himself from Cory at all possible times; and Morgan Matthews, the younger sister, who sometimes uses her position as means of getting what she wants. Cory, with his stubbornness and laziness, struggles with his friends to get through school. To help them, there is Mr. George Feeny, Cory's teacher and neighbor. He tries as hard as possible to get them through school and he eventually does. Finally, there is Topanga Lawrence, Cory's first love, and in the later seasons, his fiancƩe, then wife. Topanga and Cory's relationship is the main focus of the later part of the series, and at the end of the series, Topanga, Cory, Shawn, and Eric leave suburban Philadelphia for New York City while later new-comers to the cast, Jack and Rachel join the Peace Corps and Angela goes to Europe with her father

[edit] Plot

[edit] "Checkin' Out"
Raven steps up to organize an important photo shoot showcasing Donna Cabonna's new fashion line for young men at the Tipton Hotel in Boston because Tiffany, the usual assistant, is sick with a lip fungus. Donna gives her a Secretech, a device for secretaries that helps organize events and has Raven conduct a video conference on it. She assures Donna that she knows how to use one, even though she doesn't, and no one can help her. She accidentally sends the photographer, Pistache, to the Tipton in Milan, Italy. Also, the models (Juan and Kvelte) did not get their plane ticket from Raven, so the models are stuck in the made-up country of Budapragoslovakia. As a result, Raven substitutes the fashion models with Zack and Cody, and she pretends to be Pistache. Donna Cabonna finds out the bad news so she tries to take matters into her own hands by impersonating the photographer too. As the two Pistache impersonators are doing the photo shoot, the real Pistache comes in, having arrived by "an outrageously expensive private jet." She notes that Zack and Cody are not the models she chose, but they are even better. She tells them to turn around and she takes pictures of their backs. The episode seems to end on a happy note with Raven's vision that has Donna Cabonna saying that the boy's line is a success. However, the episode turns sour when Raven misses her flight because the alarm on her Secretech does not work.
Meanwhile, Cory and Eddie find out that Chelsea is a natural at paddleball, so they try to get Chelsea to break the record for the world's longest paddleball session so they can claim the prize money. They think they have the record in the bag until the competition -- none other than Stanley -- proves to be a formidable paddle ball opponent. Chelsea scams Stanley and wins the title and prize money. She then feels bad and ends up giving Stanley the money. Cory and Eddie are furious with Chelsea because Stanley has scammed her.

[edit] "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana"
After the Tipton's concierge Irene tells Raven that her flight is cancelled, Raven is stuck in Boston. She then has a vision that one of the twins (the one wearing a black sweater vest) is in danger of being attacked. Raven tells them that she has a "feeling" that the one in a sweater vest is in trouble and should avoid sneezing followed by bells. Cody, the only twin that wears sweater vests, becomes paranoid and avoids anything that remotely resembles Raven's "premonition" - even the surprise birthday party that he Zack and the other Tipton employees are throwing for Carey. Zack wears Cody's black sweater vest to Carey's surprise party so that Cody isn't in danger, but becomes in danger when Arwin's present goes out of control. Upon hearing sneezing and bells, a frantic Zack lands head first into the cake!
Meanwhile, Maddie is trying to help Raven by getting London to wear one of Raven's original designs, but London swears she'll never wear anything that's not from a famous designer, even her diapers were made by designers. So Maddie switched the label of London's Attoro Vittali and sews it onto Raven's dress. London wears the dress thinking that it is a Vittali original. Maddie tells her the truth, and London gets upset that Maddie lied to her. Pop star Hannah Montana checks in and admires Raven's dress. London, who has known Hannah since she (Hannah) sang at London's birthday party changes her mind and says that she loves the dress. Hannah asks Raven to make her a dress and goes to look at London's. However, her ring gets caught in the dress and it tears.

[edit] "On the Road Again"
When Hannah Montana stays at the Tipton Hotel in Boston, she befriends the candy counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick, who talks about the career Miley's father Robby had back in the day. Now, Miley believes that her dad gave up his dream to sing so that Miley could pursue her own career. To give him back the stage life, she recruits the help of his former manager to get Robby back on the road. Robby Ray goes to San Diego while Roxy takes care of Jackson and Miley. Unfortunately, Roxy is very overprotective and will not let the children go out of her sight. Jackson gets fed up and goes to San Diego, followed by Miley and Roxy. Billy Ray Cyrus (as Robby Ray) performs "I Want My Mullet Back" in this episode. However upon seeing his father perform and of the offer to go on tour with Toby Keith, Jackson changes his mind. However Robby also changes his mind because he doesn't want to leave his kids again. At the end of the episode both Billy Ray and Miley perform an encore performance of "I Want My Mullet Back", complete with mullet wigs. Maddie shows up as a crazed Robby Ray fan, but is chased away by Roxy. Although Maddie appears in the episode she is not credited at the end.

[edit] Production
The crossover is the third crossover that the Disney Channel has done. The first one was of Aladdin and Hercules: The Animated Series called Hercules and the Arabian Nights, the second was Lilo & Stitch: The Series with American Dragon: Jake Long, Kim Possible, Recess and The Proud Family (albeit as different episodes), but this is the first live-action crossover. The second live-action crossover deals with The Juicer from That's So Raven appearing on Cory in the House episode And the Weenie Is.... The third live-action crossover happened when President Richard Martinez and Sophie Martinez from Cory in the House appeared in the Hannah Montana episode Take This Job and Love It!. The fourth live-action crossover dealed with Raven Baxter appearing on the Cory in the House episode That's So in the House.
Michael Poryes co-created That's so Raven (with Susan Sherman) and Hannah Montana (with Richard Corell) while Corell directed episodes of those shows including The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

[4]

that's so raven

Seasons 1-3 were produced by Brookwell McNamara Entertainment. The fourth and final season was produced by Raven's Production Company Thats So Productions.

Phil of the Future


Phil of the Future is an American comedy children's television series that was produced by 2121 Productions (a part of Brookwell McNamara Entertainment). Phil of the Future's original title was The Out of Timers. It debuted on June 18, 2004 on the Disney Channel and ended on August 18, 2006. It centers around the Diffys, a family from 2121 who get stuck in the 21st century during their trip through time. The series focuses on their attempt to fit in while trying to fix their time machine and return to the year 2121.
As of January 2007, the second season of "Phil" has been nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award (Children's Series) for "Broadcast Blues," (written by David Steven Cohen) and a Directors Guild of America Award (Children's Series) for "Not-So-Great-Great Grandpa," directed by Fred Savage.
The television series ended on August 18, 2006, though Phil of the Future is still frequently shown on the Disney Channel.

Manoux: Curtis is a Caveman (Cro-Magnon, as mentioned in Dinner Time.) who stowed away in the Diffy's time machine when they went back to visit the Stone Age.

Goof Troop

Goof Troop was an animated series created and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation from 1992 until 1993 on ABC and on The Disney Afternoon. It centers around the families of the classic Disney characters Goofy and Pete. The character voices in the series were provided by Bill Farmer (Goofy), Dana Hill (Max), Rob Paulsen (P.J.), Jim Cummings (Pete), April Winchell (Peg), Nancy Cartwright (Pistol) and Frank Welker (Waffles the Cat & Chainsaw the Dog).

About the series

[edit] Premise
Goof Troop bears similarity to several early-1950s Goofy cartoon shorts which depicted the Goof as a father to a mischievous red-haired son. Goofy, now as a widower, moves back to his hometown of Spoonerville with his 11-year-old son Max. As it happens, Goofy and Max end up moving in next door to Goofy's high school friend: Pete, a used car salesman and owner of Honest Pete's Used Cars; Pete's wife Peg, a real estate agent; and their two children, 11 year old son P.J. (Pete Jr.) and 4 year old daughter Pistol. Max and P.J. become the best of friends and do practically everything together. A large portion of humor comes from the relatively normal Max's personality sharply contrasting with his father's.

[edit] Broadcast history and feature films
Like its predecessors, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin, it premiered as an hour-long TV movie, which was later broken up into a two-part pilot serial. It was later added as a part of The Disney Afternoon block of syndicated animated series during the 1992-1993 broadcast season. Following its cancellation, reruns aired on ABC Saturday Morning, The Disney Channel and later on sister cable channel Toon Disney. Reruns were shown on Toon Disney until January 2005, when Dave the Barbarian was added to the network. The program made a return during September 2006, and the Christmas Special is still aired on Christmas. The program returned to Toon Disney on November 3, 2006 and has aired in different timeslots since, it currently airs weekdays at 10:00 a.m./9:00 a.m. central.
Goof Troop was adapted into the feature film A Goofy Movie (1995) and its direct-to-video sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000), The latter of which takes place a few years after the series. The two movies featured Bill Farmer, Rob Paulsen and Jim Cummings reprising their character roles from Goof Troop in these two movies, with Jason Marsden providing the voice of a now-teenager Max, as actress Dana Hill, who provided the voice of Max, died on July 15, 1996, after suffering a massive stroke related to her diabetes.
Goof Troop was released on DVD alongside Quack Pack on February 14, 2006. Also, the episode "Calling All Goofs", is included as a bonus feature on the Region 1 DVD release of A Goofy Movie.
A coda of sorts came with 2005 'Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas' DVD release. This DVD featured a CGI short in which a grown up Max brings home a girlfriend for Christmas and is embarrassed by his Dad's goofs.

Lilo & Stitch


Lilo & Stitch is a 2002 American animated feature film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution on June 21, 2002. The film was written and directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, and was the second of three Disney animated features produced primarily at its animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. The film was rated PG for "mild sci-fi action".
Lilo & Stitch was nominated for the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, which ultimately went to Spirited Away.

Plot
An extra-terrestrial mad scientist named Dr. Jumba Jookiba (David Ogden Stiers) is imprisoned for illegally experimenting and creating creatures to cause chaos and destruction. His latest experiment is Number 626 (Chris Sanders): a cute, little, blue alien who is deceptively strong, fast, intelligent, destructive and indestructible.
Captain Gantu (Kevin Michael Richardson), a shark-like alien, is assigned to take 626 to a penal colony, but during the trip, 626 manages to escape in a smaller spacecraft, and crash lands on the small Hawaiian island of KauaŹ»i, on Earth. Masquerading as a dog (but looking more like a koala), 626 is adopted by a little girl named Lilo Pelekai (Daveigh Chase) who is living with her 19/20-year-old sister Nani (Tia Carrere) after their parents died in a car accident. Lilo is lonely and a bit of an outcast until she finds a new friend in 626, whom she names "Stitch." Stitch initially attempts to escape the island but finds that it is impossible because he is afraid of the water and cannot swim because his body is too dense. Stitch resigns himself to stay with Lilo when he spots that he is being watched by Jumba and Galactic Agent Pleakley (Kevin McDonald), who have been assigned to recapture Stitch without being detected by humans. Lilo notes Stitch's violent tendencies and attempts to teach him to relax.
Nani and Lilo are visted by a social worker, former Central Intelligence Agent and current interplanetary diplomat Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames), who tells Nani that she must find employment and improve their living conditions, otherwise he would have to take Lilo into foster care. Nani, with the help of her boyfriend David, tries several times to find employment, but is unable to secure a position as Lilo's attempts to tame Stitch by having him behave as Elvis Presley generally lead to disaster. After one such tiring day, David offers Nami and Lilo a day of surfing at the beach. While the three of them are trying to help Stitch learn how to surf, Jumba and Pleakley attempt to capture Stitch from underwater, leading to Stitch grabbing onto Lilo and dragging her under. David manages to rescue both Lilo and Stitch, but Nani believes that Stitch was attacking Lilo, and sends him away from Lilo much to Lilo's dismay. Stitch returns to Lilo's house alone.
After Jumba and Pleakley's failure, Captain Gantu is assigned to capture Stitch. This leads Jumba, no longer bound by Galactic Code, to aggressively chase Stitch in one last effort, ending in the destruction of Lilo's home. Nani returns home just after this occurs, unfortunately timed with a check-up visit from Cobra Bubbles, causing Lilo to run off fearing that Stitch was responsible for the destruction and didn't care about her, only to be captured by Gantu. Stitch attempts to save her but is instead accused of Lilo's capture by Nani. At this point, Stitch finally speaks to her in English and shows that he is an alien and that he does understand the meaning of ohana, which means "family" and "that nobody gets left behind or forgotten". Jumba is able to capture Stitch in this moment of understanding, but Nani pleads Jumba to let Stitch free and to help save Lilo from Gantu, and he reluctantly does so.
Employing Jumba's spaceship, they and Gantu give chase around the Hawaiian mountains. Stitch manages to land on Gantu's ship and attempts to free Lilo but Gantu reconfigures the angle of the afterburners to blast Stitch off the ship. In a momentary state of unconsciousness, Stitch wakes up just in time to save a frog from being run over by a gasoline truck. Hijacking the same truck, Stitch drives it straight into an active volcano. Stitch taunts Gantu and releases the fuel into the lava. The explosion launches Stitch straight into Gantu's cockpit. Gantu tries to smash Stitch but ends up getting thrown off the ship. Stitch rescues Lilo just in time before the ship explodes. When everyone lands in the ocean, David is coincidentally surfing nearby and he helps transport everyone back to shore.
Immediately, The Grand Councilwoman arrives to arrest Stitch, but becomes reluctant to do so when she sees that he has reformed into a civilized creature. Lilo, prodded by Cobra Bubbles, presents her certificate of adoption which makes her Stitch's legal owner, causing the Grand Councilwoman to release the little creature. Stitch's sentence to life in exile provides a loophole; he is now in Lilo and Nani's care as his warders. The movie ends with both Jumba and Pleakley staying on earth to help rebuild Nani, Lilo, and Stitch's home with some of their own alien technology, and with Stitch being fully accepted into Lilo's family.
Throughout the movie, the message provided tells the audience that family must stick together in all cases, however difficult. It also stresses the importance of Lilo and Nani's Hawaiian culture and how it must be kept alive. Furthermore, it is also meant to remind children of the importance of good behavior as well as adults that not all children are "rotten to the core", and that every child has some goodness deep inside.

The Emperor's New School


The Emperor's New School is an American animated television series on the Disney Channel. It is follow-up series to the Disney movie The Emperor's New Groove. It features all four members of the core cast (Yzma, Kronk, Pacha, and Kuzco) from the movie. In the TV series, Kuzco (the emperor on which the show and movie are based) has to pass all his classes in the kingdom's school before he is able to rule again.
This show does not include all of the voice actors from the original movies. Eartha Kitt (Yzma), Patrick Warburton (Kronk), and Wendie Malick (Chicha) return, making them the only three actors to be part of all three associated projects. J.P. Manoux reprises his role as the voice of Emperor Kuzco as he did in the series "House of Mouse", replacing David Spade, who voiced the ruler in both movies. The Buzz on Maggie star Jessica Di Cicco voices the new character Malina. Fred Tatasciore voices Pacha instead of John Goodman. However, John Goodman did return in Season 2.
In Australia, it recently began airing as part of the Seven Network's Saturday Disney program. Seven has a long-term program supply agreement with Disney/Buena Vista.
The second season of the show premiered on June 23rd, 2007.[1][2]
Since May 29, 2007, The Emperor's New School has been moved from its Saturday time slot at 4 and 4:30 to its daily time slot at 1 a.m (every day). The show also airs Saturday mornings on ABC Kids

Major Characters

[edit] Kuzco
Main article: Kuzco
Kuzco (played by J.P. Manoux, who also plays Curtis and vice principal Hackett in Phil of the Future) is a temporarily dethroned emperor (or an "emperor to be", as the theme song and a few characters state) who must pass all of his classes in order to regain his full title. He is often gullible, narcissistic, and spoiled. In addition, he is often naive and oblivious to the actual state of affairs (or stops paying attention). Perhaps due to an educational neglect earlier in his life, Kuzco cannot comprehend when Malina uses certain terms (like in "Fortune Cookie Day", when Malina shows him the definition of "gullible").
He has a crush on his classmate, Malina, to whom he often refers as a "hottie-hot-hottie". In "Rabbit Face", he stated he intends to make her his empress.
He is often condescending and abrasive to his classmates and the subjects of his empire, but this is because he resents having been thrown off the throne. Although it has been revealed in "Bride of Kuzco" that he would be willing to forsake his classes and his obligations to resume his rule, it has likewise been revealed that he cares more about Malina than being stuck in a bad situation.
Episodes such as "Bride of Kuzco", "Kronk Moves In", and "Guakumentary" seem to support the hypothesis that Kuzco is growing as a character and may hopefully be changed for the better because of his experiences. Each episode in the first season served to teach Kuzco a lesson about his behavior. Conversely, in the second season, the focus has been shifted a bit from him.

[edit] Yzma
Main article: Yzma
Yzma was the emperor's royal adviser until her firing in the Emperor's New Groove. Although she covets Kuzco's throne, it is unclear how she would attain it since she is no longer in line for the throne in any sense. She constantly schemes for Kuzco to fail and disguises herself as Principal Amzy (Yzma spelled backwards) in order to achieve that end. Unfortunately, her schemes seldom run from A to B and she overlooks things that lead to the plan's foiling. A running gag with this identity comes from Kronk's inability to comprehend that she and Principal Amzy are one and the same. She often has to rip off her disguise in order to make him understand.

[edit] Kronk
Main article: Kronk
Yzma's assistant. Although he is clearly less intelligent than her, Kuzco, and most of the cast, he can have surprising insights, such as to things that Yzma overlooked in her plans. He often forgets things (such as consistently pulling the wrong lever to the "not so secret" lab) and gets carried away, resulting in him leaving the subject rediscussed. As stated in the movie, Kronk is a Junior Chipmunk (and this appears in many episodes, such "Kronk Moves In", "Squeakend at Bucky's", "Chimpunky Business", etc) . In "Kronk Moves In", he mentions that he enjoys manual labor. He also enjoys cooking spinach puffs (another trait that is mentioned in many episodes). In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco pegs Kronk's age at late-twenties, yet Kronk is disguised as a student despite this.

[edit] Malina
Main article: Malina (The Emperor's New School)
A popular, stereotypical, headstrong, 'A+' average cheerleader, who is one of Kuzco's best friends (and since Kronk is actively engaged with Yzma in trying to kill/permanently dethrone Kuzco, Malina may be considered Kuzco's only real friend, aside from Pacha and his family). Kuzco has a crush on her, which he shows openly. Several times she has shown she might like Kuzco, such as when she offered to dance with him despite his losing in "Clash of the Families" , her obvious disappointment when Kuzco canceled a date he had with her in order to marry a princes and regain his throne ("Bride of Kuzco"), or stating that she doesn't want to be empress if Kuzco continues to behave a certain way (thus implying that she does indeed want to be his empress). She helps him out frequently, sometimes being the only reason that Kuzco can get through whatever trial faces him (such as dragging him for presumably miles in "Emperor for a Day").
Malina sometimes becomes blinded by success and turns selfish and greedy. In "Emperor's New Tuber", she fantasizes about being on parade and everyone cheering for her. She resorts to cheating in order to win, because she cannot bear the thought of losing. In "Picture This", she freaks out over the thought of a bad portrait of her being immortalized. This led to her destroying all the yearbooks she could find and finally, risking Kuzco's and Kronk's lives trying to destroy the last yearbook contained within a time capsule.
Malina is also an overachiever/perfectionist. In "Girls Behaving Oddly", she panics at the thought of an A-. She cannot figure out her place without relating to her grades, her physical appearance, and her social status (in "Girls Behaving Oddly", as a cheerleader).
Malina's occasional selfishness (which, as Kuzco stated in "Picture This", even exceeded his), greed, and desire for praise resemble Kuzco's drives. And, like Kuzco, it seems that these negative characteristics don't necessarily disappear after something bad has happened as a result.

[edit] Pacha
Main article: Pacha (The Emperor's New Groove)
Pacha is one of Kuzco's best friends and always supports Kuzco on his road to becoming Emperor. He serves as a father figure to Kuzco. He and his family took Kuzco in when he had nowhere else to go.

[edit] Mr. Flaco Moleguaco
Kuzco's short tempered (and short in height) teacher. He often finds Kuzco annoying and also tries to play on his weaknesses. He also threatens to fail Kuzco quite often. However, it was revealed in Kuzcogarten that Mr. Moleguaco found his class boring without Kuzco and gladly welcomed him back when Kuzco returned to class. His last name seems to be guacamole, having the first half placed after the second, a perfect example of a spoonerism.

[edit] Bucky
The squirrel that makes various appearances in the show. He dislikes Yzma and is good friends with Kronk. He was also Kuzco's tutor in the episode Squeakend at Bucky's.

[edit] Chicha
Pacha's loving wife. She's like a mother to Kuzco, but is often exasperated with his lack of helping out around the house, and his selfish nature. She's prone to being sarcastic, much of which is directed at Kuzco or his actions.

[edit] Chaca, Tipo, and Yupi
Pacha and Chicha's children. Chaca is the oldest, and can sometimes be bossy, often arguing with her younger brother or making negative comments about Kuzco. Tipo is in the middle child, a tad bit more calm than Chaca, but still prone to bickering with his sister or Kuzco. Yupi is the youngest, and little more is known about him other than he is a baby, but is still strangely a professional at canoeing. Jessie Flower voiced Chaca. Shane Baumel voiced Tipo. Tara Strong voiced Yupi in The Yzma that Stole Kuzcoween.

[edit] The Royal Record Keeper
Keeps track of Kuzco's record in school and also reminds Kuzco of the limitations to his power that are in place until he graduates
