I must admit, I’m starting to get quite excited about the Wizards of Waverly Place Movie. First of all, we have the Movie Poster. Very well done, IMO.
The following is an excerpt from a Disney press release that outlines the promotional schedule leading up to and including the event.
“Wizards of Waverly Place” ranks as TV’s #1 scripted program among the targeted kid demographics in second quarter 2009. It registered all-time series highs in Total Viewers (6.0 million), Kids 6-11 (2.5 million) and Tweens 9-14 (2.5 million) on June 26, 2009.
In anticipation of the movie, www.DisneyChannel.com will present an exciting two-part game, “Journey to the Cave of Darkness” and “Quest for the Stone of Dreams.” Users can also upload their own photo to become part of the Russo family vacation snapshot, as well as explore and collect hidden objects and unlock bonus behind-the-scenes footage from the movie.

Austin and Jennifer Stone will introduce their favorite “Wizards of Waverly Place” episodes in a “Wand Picked Wizards” programming event. All 16 episodes will air Friday, August 28.

props to Sel and crew for an emmy nom. very good doing.
Wow, I didn’t know that much stuff about her even existed!
ive been watching her for a while. ever since the beginning.ive missed a lot i dont know how to download videos from like you tube. but ive got a lot of t. v. stuff. watching E.T. and Extra and E! and Daily 10. and Access,TMZ. Disney Channel has stuff. if you have disney east you can see whats ging to be on dis. west in 3 hours.and record.
you all have got to go to You t
Tube; select Selena Gomez, and see her thank you for all her fans birthday gifts. shes crying. from happyness. its a rare thing.
Happy Birthday Selena!!!!!!!!
but i am getting to the point where im a little tired of recording the “ent.” shows. its a lot of work. but it is worth it when something Selena comes this way.
but i think ive about had enough. theres just too much stuff out there. i bought Alex Russo dolls for the kids and passed up on the magic wand and make-up kits. theres just too much. but i do have every ep., crossover ep., movie, promo etc. you can get. you know that stuff will never be released on dvd .Hanah Montana made it to dvd. but thats the first Disney show to be released in complete seasons. i doubt wowp will ever be. but yes i do have the, 2 so far, special dvd releases of about 3 or 4 shows of wowp on dvd.i love Selena.
im a dork
Selena is BIG. she is one of the BIGGEST clebs to children, kids teens, and even adults.oh and the tweens. ha ha .she has nearly 600,000 followers on her twitter accont. she is number 20 in popularity on you tube. i dont even know what else. like ive said, theres just too much to get it all anymore. She Has Blown Up. and shes been blown up for a long time. and to think that less than 2 years ago she was nobody. at best; the girl on Hanah Montana.but i knew her even before that.
imadork
****************if you go to You Tube to watch Selena’s Thank You video, notice how unique her buck teeth are. ive never seen teeth like hers. and its one of the things that makes her so beyond beautiful.
looks like no ones reading and commenting. well just in case; SELENA GOMEZ ON THE VIEW.8/5/09.Wed.
I don’t remember what her teeth looked like in that video.
they are just as “buck” as can be. but they are square shaped. very sharp. they are just as i’ve never seen before. and i have seen lots of girls.
and i dont mean any negativity. they are one (among many) of her outstanding qualities.shes just gorgeous.
i mentioned Nicole Anderson. she is really cute. she is more of the type of girl that i would date. where as Selena just mystifies me. too much. too much.
I don’t know much about Nicole Anderson. I’ve only seen a few pics. And I haven’t watched JONAS.
poster’s not at all good.I dont think it will be as good it should have been like Hannah montana the movie!!
i am watching Sel’s pick of her favorite episodes. i’d not have known w/out you WebmasterGreg. thank you. Yes of course i’m recording it. i havent decided on recording the other casts faves. i’m a Selena gomez fan. though i do like her support team. She is the star.
dont forget to see her on Jimmy whats his name on Thursday late night.
Wand picked wizards is just an excuse to promote reruns. 😛
