My Personal Favorite DCOM! (Part 1)

        Princess Protection Program Poster

        "Princess Protection Program" is a DCOM which was released in 2009, isn't the best DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) to have ever been made, but it is definitely one of my personal favorite DCOMs.
        The premise of the movie is that Princess Rosalinda Maria Montoya Fioré, soon to be queen (portrayed by Demi Lovato) of the fictional country Costa Luna has to escape her country as its being invaded, but has to leave behind her mother. Under the 'Princess Protection Program' she will be protected as long as she stays in hiding in Lousiana with Major Joe Mason (portrayed by Tom Verica) and his daughter Carter Mason (portrayed by Selena Gomez). Rosalinda is told to disguise herself as Rosie Gonzalez, a normal teen girl. 
        Tomboyish Carter, similar to Selena's other role as Alex Russo from the Disney Channel show "Wizards of Waverly Place", and girly-girl Rosie have a difficult time adjusting to one another, but eventually, become the best of friends. The confident Rosie helps the insecure Carter see her own beauty and makes her realize that anyone can be a princess. They face everyday problems like bullies and loss of identity. They act more like sisters than friends and sacrifice themselves for one another. 
        Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez were best friends at the time of this film, and so their friendship was believable, and their on-screen chemistry seemed real. Both actresses played their respectful parts impeccably. 
        I grew up watching this DCOM, so I have a sentimental connection to the film. Friendship has always been very important to me, and this film hits me right in my emotions. Rosie's monologue near the end of the film always makes me cry because having a friendship like Rosie and Carter's is so hard in reality. 
        Because this is a Disney Channel movie there are a lot of plot holes and dumb scenes, but that doesn't lessen my love for this film by much. I've already established that this isn't the best DCOM, but it is one of my favorites. 
        Another reason I love this movie is that it has two of my favorite singers in it, and it produced the iconic "One and the Same" duet between Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. 
        I recommend this movie. What are your thoughts on "Princess Protection Program"? This is one of my favorite DCOMs, what's yours?

Why High School Musical & Descendants Are the Same

 vs          To clear up any misunderstandings, I understand that both franchises were directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega so they will have some similarities in their layouts.         "High School Musical" is a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) that was released in 2006. The movie conveys the message of breaking free of quotas and being your true self, no matter what labels people put on you, through various different musical numbers. The movie follows star basketball player Troy Bolton and overly 'smart' Gabriella Montez, and how music unites the two unexpected couple together.         "Descendants" is a DCOM that was released in 2015, almost ten years after the release of the original High School Musical. The movie teaches the audience that you must make your own choices in life, and you do not have to live the same lives as your parents, even if that is what is expected of you. The musical follo...

Ranking Demi Lovato's Albums!

        Hi! This week I'm going to share my opinion on one of my favorite musical artists: Demi Lovato. This is all based on my own opinion, so you don't have to agree. Currently, she has six studio albums. This list will only include her personal albums (except for "Moves Me" [2004] & "Demo" [?]). This will not include soundtracks or compilation albums from her other projects. 5.  ("Tell Me You Love Me" Album Cover)         In fifth place is her latest album, "Tell Me You Love Me [Clean] (Deluxe) + (Target Exclusive)" which was released in 2017.          I personally don't like this album. It's a good album, but I'm not the target demographic for this album, so maybe that's why I don't like it.          Many of the songs have a more adult theme, so parental consent is recommended.          The album is different from Lovato's previ...

My Favorite/Best Disney Channel Moments (Part 3)

Basically, this is the same concept as the first and second parts but includes different clips. Please if you haven't, go and read the other parts too. Of course, there are going to be major spoilers and all rights obviously go to their respective owner.         The first scene I'm going to be talking about is from the 2011 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie), "Lemonade Mouth", which is based on Mark Peter Hughes' 2007 novel of the same name. "Lemonade Mouth" is how five high schoolers meet in detention and end up forming a band called 'Lemonade Mouth' and also help cope and mend with their lives using music and friendship. This is one of my favorite DCOMs and it actually has really good music.         When Lemonade Mouth is preparing for the 'Rising Star' competition, their worlds' seem to fall apart. Wen (played by Adam Hicks) injures his eye when his father (played by Bob Jesser) asks him to be his best man. The other remaini...
