Disney Channel Fans

We have some news shots of On Deck cutie Debby Ryan filming her new movie 16 wishes last month.

From the looks of the plastic wrap around the cameras, I don’t think the weather was cooperating that day…

Anyway, Debby looks amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing this movie.

Disney’s official press release follows

“16 Wishes” – This movie comedy, starring Debby Ryan (Disney Channel’s “The Suite Life on Deck”) and Jean-Luc Bilodeau (ABC Family’s “Kyle XY”), tells the story of Abby, a girl who’s been eager to reach her 16th birthday and has kept a secret wish list since she was a little girl. But, when the big day actually arrives, she makes a wish that changes everything. The movie is a co-production of MarVista Entertainment and Disney Channel, and is slated to premiere on Disney Channel in the U.S. in summer 2010.

Remember the Feb highlights post? It looks like Disney’s gonna start giving us monthly highlights.

March is gonna be a big month for DC Fans, starting with a special Suite Life on Deck.

“Once Upon a Suite Life” – During Ms. Tutweiler’s history lesson, Zack, Cody and London fall asleep and dream of themselves in classic fairy tales. London dreams that she is the evil witch trying to poison Snow White (Bailey), so she can be the fairest in the land; Cody imagines he and Zack are Hansel and Gretel as they get lost in the forest and find a candy cottage and Ms. Tutweiler, a witch; and Zack dreams of Jack and the Beanstalk, in which he trades the family cow for magic beans, in a new episode of “The Suite Life on Deck,” premiering FRIDAY, MARCH 5 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

Then March 14th is a huge day, with the previously announced Hannah Montana S3 finale, and the Premiere of Sonny with a Chance Season two

“Walk A Mile In My Pants” – Sonny rallies everyone together for a “Walk-A-Thon For Books” and gets Tawni to donate her “Tawni Hart’s Extreme Skinny Jeans” for all of the participants to wear. Eventually everyone starts dropping out as a result of SPS – Skinny Pants Syndrome, in a new episode of “Sonny With A Chance,” SUNDAY, MARCH 14 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

It will be followed by a new JONAS, which is surprising. I thought they already used up all the S1 episodes. And there’s no way they could be done with a S2 episode already.

“Exam Jam” – As the JONAS World Concert Tour draws closer, Joe and Stella come to terms with being apart from one another over the summer. Meanwhile Kevin and Joe devise a plan to help Nick ace his geometry test after their dad threatens not to send the brothers on tour unless they pass all their school exams, in “JONAS,” premiering SUNDAY, MARCH 14 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

After that epic weekend, we get a new Wizards of Waverly Place.

“Detention Election” – Justin’s chances at becoming Student Body President are put in jeopardy after someone wallpapers Principal Laritate’s office with posters from Justin’s campaign and he is accused of masterminding the prank. Meanwhile, Alex befriends Stevie, a rebellious new girl in school, and Jerry, Max and Harper get stuck on a Ferris wheel during their trip to Coney Island in “Wizards of Waverly Place,” premiering FRIDAY, MARCH 19 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

And a new On Deck. This series must be nearing the end of the season, although I haven’t checked exactly how many more remain.

“Marriage 101″ – Ms. Tutweiler assigns her students a project where they must act like married couples and manage a household. Cody and Bailey are the quintessential perfect couple, and Zack and London make a surprisingly good couple too. When Woody and Addison have a child – Marcus – they learn how difficult adult life can be, in a new episode of “The Suite Life on Deck,” premiering FRIDAY, MARCH 19 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

And then we’ll wrap up the month with two more new Sonny with a Chance episodes.

“Sonny Get Your Goat” – When Sonny and Tawni learn the “Check It Out Girls” sketch is popular in Glendovia, Marshall arranges for an exchange program, not realizing that the Glendovians think the girls are real check-out girls and want them to be cashiers for a store’s grand opening. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady wear mustaches to fit in with their Glendovian exchange student, in a new episode of “Sonny With A Chance,” SUNDAY, MARCH 21 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

And

“Gassie Passes” – When the cast of “So Random!” finds out they are starring in a new movie based on their “Gassie” sketches, Demi showers the pup with affection by giving him too many dog treats. When Gassie passes out, the cast fears the worst, only to discover that Sonny’s treats caused Gassie to fall ill. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady receive money from a secret investor, who turns out to be Dakota Condor, to mass produce the Gassie lunch boxes that Zora invented, in a new episode of “Sonny With A Chance,” SUNDAY, MARCH 28 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

Of course, Jennifer Stone’s new movie “Harriet the Spy: The Blog Wars” also premieres this month on the 26th. But no one cares about that.

Well, we’ve known for a while that Debby’s been shooting a new DCOM called “16 Wishes” in Vancouver.

But now we finally have some details courtesy of Stitch Kingdom and twitter.

Debby Ryan of Disney Channel’s The Suite Life on Deck will co-star with Kyle XY’s Jean-Luc Bilodeau in a new Disney Channel original movie set to premiere during summer 2010.

Ryan plays Abby Jensen, who has been planning her 16th birthday for the longest time. She has a secret wish list taped to her closet door, and on her big day a box of Sweet Sixteen Birthday Candles arrives, each of which corresponds to a wish on her list. As her wishes come true, her day gets better and better until she makes a wish that changes everything.

“We are excited to be in business with the Disney-ABC Cable Networks Group and Disney Channel in the U.S. and around the world,” commented Fernando Szew, the CEO of MarVista Entertainment. “We are confident that we have jointly come up with all the key elements that constitute a successful co-production including a fantastically written, fast-paced, comedic script; a wonderful cast and crew, and a bona fide star in Debby Ryan.”

“Sixteen Wishes is a funny and aspirational movie about a young girl who realizes the true meaning of the universal theme, be careful what you wish for,” added David Levine, the VP of worldwide programming strategy, acquisitions and co-productions for Disney Channels Worldwide. “Disney Channel star Debby Ryan brings a unique charm and vulnerability to the role of Abby, one that we know our audience will embrace.”

Surprisingly, it sounds like this will be the “back to school” DCOM that airs in August of this year! I know they got did a quick turn around on Starstruck, but I’m still surprised. Especially with Camp rock 2 in post for almost a full year.

But I must say, I’m glad that Debby’s back to work on Suite Life:
“First day back at Suite Life since the fall!” – Debby via Twitter

I just hope she didn’t miss too many episodes!

I just found photos of Debby Ryan at the premiere of Aly & Vanessa’s movie Bandslam this past August.

Sweet.

Oh, and here’s a great closeup.

Finally! It’s been three weeks since we saw the cover of the Disneymania 7 CD but now we finally have 30 second snippets and the full track listing!

And yes, I am more excited about this album than I am the StarStruck Soundtrack. What’s it to ya?

Disneymania 7 Track listing:
1. I Just Can’t Wait to Be King Allstar Weekend
2. Trust in Me Selena Gomez
3. Real Gone Honor Society
4. If I Never Knew You Tiffany Thornton
5. Stand Out Mitchel Musso
6. Good Enough KSM
7. Little Wonders Savannah
8. Under the Sea Booboo Stewart
9. When She Loved Me Bridgit Mendler
10. Her Voice Drew Seeley
11. Bella Notte Ruby Summer
12. Part of Your World Anna Maria Perez de Taglé
13. What I’ve Been Looking For Alyson Stoner
14. The Gift of a Friend Demi Lovato
15. Hakuna Matata Debby Ryan

Selena Gomez is always amazing, and she certainly has an interesting song. I’m not quite sure she pulled it off, but I’m anxious to hear the whole track!

I refuse to like Honor Society on principle, but they did a pretty good job on Real Gone. I won’t deny that.

Another strong showing from Tiffany Thornton. We already knew she could sing, but she continues to impress. Any chance of a album? If Demi can cut one while filming and touring, Tiff can too.

Wow. I guess Bridgit Mendler can sing. I don’t know why I’m so surprised, but I was very impressed.

Ruby Summer gets a mention because she picked one of my all time favorite Disney songs, from one of my least favorite disney movies. LOL

Alyson Stoner did a nice job on What I’ve Been Looking For, although I don’t know why she did something so contemporary.

Could Demi Lovato not make time to record one new song? The Gift of a Friend does not belong on this album.

Last but not least, they finally got Debby Ryan to sing a real song! Based on that 30 seconds, I wanna say good – not great. Of course, I reserve the right to change my opinion once I hear the whole song.

I just found this fabulous picture of Debby.

Total hotness.

Good news for Wizards and Suite Life fans! Mixed news for Sonny fans.

“Positive Alex” – Alex has a crush on George, the school’s band leader, but is unable to get his attention because he’s turned off by her sour attitude and unenergetic cheers at the school basketball games. Determined to get George to ask her to the school dance, she casts a spell on herself to become a positive person, but Alex’s newfound optimism turns out to be too much when she starts cheering for the opposing team. Meanwhile, Justin has joined the basketball team and is trying to get a big senior moment captured on video, in “Wizards of Waverly Place,” premiering FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

Guest starring is Austin Butler (“Zeke and Luther”) as George.

LONDON OFFERS HER FRIENDS ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO INVENT SOMETHING IN A NEW EPISODE OF “THE SUITE LIFE ON DECK,” PREMIERING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 ON DISNEY CHANNEL

“London’s Apprentice” – When London’s father gives her one million dollars to find an invention to market, she enlists her friends to come up with a unique invention and offers them the cash as a prize. At first everyone comes up with their own ideas, but then they combine their resources, wreaking havoc on the ship with their multifunctional robot, in a new episode of “The Suite Life on Deck,” premiering FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

A million dollar robot? Okay… I’m not sure I’m feeling this one.

Of course, we already know that Starstruck is airing on February 14th.

And Radio Disney’s Jake Whetter says that the new season of Sonny with a Chance “airs right before “Starstruck” premieres on February 14th. ” via Twitter. But if that is accurate, it seems strange that Disney wouldn’t mention it among all these other press releases. Maybe it will be Spring afterall…

It’s official! Production has started on Season 3 of The Suite Life on Deck.

Official disney Press release:

PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN ON THE THIRD SEASON OF
DISNEY CHANNEL’S HIT SERIES “THE SUITE LIFE ON DECK”

Production has begun in Hollywood on Disney Channel’s hit series “The Suite Life on Deck,” a comedy that delivered record ratings in its first two seasons, ranking as TV’s #1 series among Kids 6-11 and, amidst all scripted TV series, in the top two spots among Tweens 9-14 for 2009 and 2008.

A spin-off of the hugely popular “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” the series follows identical twins Zack and Cody Martin, hotel heiress London Tipton, southern belle and Cody’s girlfriend Bailey Pickett and former singing teen sensation Marcus Little on a semester at sea aboard the luxurious SS Tipton. More often than not, the group’s antics make the dutiful cruise ship’s hotel manager, Mr. Moseby, want to walk the plank.

“The Suite Life on Deck” stars Dylan Sprouse as Zack Martin, Cole Sprouse as Cody Martin, Brenda Song as London Tipton, Debby Ryan as Bailey Pickett, Doc Shaw as Marcus Little and Phill Lewis as Mr. Moseby. Recurring cast members are Erin Cardillo as Ms. Tutweiller, Matthew Timmons as Woody and Windell Middlebrooks as Kirby.

Alright, I’d admit that press release doesn’t tell us much that we didn’t already know, but at least we know they’re back to work now.

I don’t know how Tommy2.net does it, but here’s the cover of the new Disneymania 7 CD

Looks like they finally got Debby to sing a song!

I think Tiffany’s song will be her version of “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Snow White.

Who knows what Selena and Demi’s songs will be, but I’m looking forward to those too.
