Disney Announces Lemonade Mouth 2

by
Well... this didn't take long. Lemonade Mouth was a pretty big hit, but a sequel already? They're gonna kill any legit street cred the original ever had... Also, there's talk of a Shake it Up movie now too. Not that that should come as a surprise. Anyway, here's the press release.
DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIES "LEMONADE MOUTH 2" AND "SHAKE IT UP" IN DEVELOPMENT Disney Channel announced at Licensing International Expo 2011 that Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) "Lemonade Mouth 2," the sequel to the hugely popular movie, is currently in development, along with a DCOM based on the hit buddy comedy series "Shake It Up." The music-filled kid, tween and family movie "Lemonade Mouth" is a dynamic story in which music intersects with themes of communication, personal development and empowerment. Central to the core storyline are five teenagers who are profoundly changed when a music teacher motivates them to throw "what-ifs" out the window, pursue their true passion, form a band and, ultimately, seize the opportunity to express their unique selves – despite lack of support from the school administration. After premiering in April as the year-to-date's No. 1 cable movie in Total Viewers and No. 1 television movie with Tweens 9-14, in its 16th telecast, ”Lemonade Mouth” is still going strong, again ranking No. 1 for the day among Kids 6-14 and Tweens 9-14." "Lemonade Mouth 2" will reunite fans with Olivia, Wen, Stella, Mohini and Charlie, and feature all-new music. The hit buddy comedy series set in the world of a tween dance show, "Shake It Up, Chicago!," has generated development plans for a DCOM debut. The comedy series features two high-spirited characters, best friends CeCe Jones and Raquel "Rocky" Blue, whose dreams of becoming professional dancers are realized when they become background dancers on the most popular teen dance show, "Shake it Up, Chicago!," a gig they land thanks to their longtime and well-connected friend, Deuce. Between learning a wide range of new dance styles, navigating the backstage antics at the show (especially with their rivals Tinka and Gunther) and their newfound social status at school, the girls experience new and fun adventures, some that test their friendship. "Shake It Up" is TV's No. 1 series with Kids 6-11 (1.8 million/7.3 rating) and Tweens 9-14 (1.6 million/6.7 rating), and through its first 17 original airings, is pacing as the No. 1 cable series of all time with Tweens 9-14, 2011 to date. [Source: NTI, 12/27/10-6/12/11, US ratings, based on trackage data with minimum 6 telecasts.] Disney Channel has presented more than 80 movie titles in its DCOM franchise since 1997. From the first movie, "Under Wraps," to 2007's record-breaking "High School Musical 2" and "Camp Rock," the DCOM franchise has connected with the millions and millions of kids and tweens who watch them every night. In the U.S., across all basic cable, DCOMs dominate the ratings, having produced basic cable's No. 1 original movie telecast among tweens for nine consecutive years and the No. 1 movie in Total Viewers for four consecutive years, an indication of strong co-viewing by kids, parents and families. The highly anticipated DCOM "Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension," based on hit animated TV series "Phineas and Ferb," is set to premiere FRIDAY, AUGUST 5 on Disney Channel, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13 on Disney XD and also on the ABC Television Network (date TBD).

Debby Ryan’s Jessie Filming Update

by

Here at DC Fans, we've been excited for Debby Ryan's new show Jessie for quite some time. Well, I'm proud to be one of the first to bring you an inside report from the taping of very first episode, last Friday, June 17th 2011.

Debby Ryan's Jessie Filming Update

The show is filming at Hollywood Center Studios on the same soundstage where Wizards once filmed. sonny/So Random also films here, and Suite life on Deck also filmed at Hollywood Center Studios.

Debby Ryan's Jessie Filming Update

In the new series, Debby plays recent HS graduate Jessie who was raised in rural Texas. She wants to be a singer/actress and comes to New York to chase that dream. She ends up as a live in nanny to four kids, three of whom are adopted from all over the world. The parents are like “Brangelina” with the mom an ex-model and the dad having a movie background. So Jessie quickly finds herself hired and on the job.

Debby Ryan's Jessie Filming Update

Emma is the oldest and the only biological kid. She's played by Peyton List. Luke is next oldest and is a bit of a trouble maker. He's played by Cameron Boyd. Ravi is a ten year old indian boy who also has a pet Komodo dragon!? He is played by Karan Brar. Zuri is the youngest at seven, and is played by Skai Jackson.

There was mention in the press release of a 20 yr old door man named Tony. He's played by Chris Galy but it seems unlikely he and Jessie would end up as a couple. There's also a lazy, sarcastic butler named Betrum that's not very nice to Jessie. He's played by Keven Chamberlain.

Debby Ryan's Jessie Filming Update

Along with the producers, Debby has put a lot of work into developing this show and building each character's back story. It's very much unlike any show Disney has ever ordered for DC. If it succeeds it could be a major game changer for the future of the network. If it fails, well, expect more shows built on the HM formula for a loooong time.

The show is expected to premiere in the fall. We will of course continue to keep you updated as we learn more.

Her and her new So Random cast mate Audrey Whitby have a lot of pics together.

I wonder if they were friends before she joined the cast, or if they just sort of met on set and got along?

I know Allisyn is 15, and I'm guessing Audrey is right in that age range too.

Oh, and here's a pic of Allisyn w/ my gurl Tiffany Thornton. <3
