Review: Disney High by Ashley Spencer Rating: 3/5
This was an interesting recap of the golden age of the Disney Channel in the 2000s and how the company's demands weighed on the stars it made. But its focus on the financials and the scandals dimmed the asides about how damaging the Disney Channel machine was for so many people.
Each chapter follows one of the big stars -- think Miley, Raven, the Jonas Brothers -- but I really would've liked to have seen more input from people like Cristy Carlson Romano, Alyson Stoner and David Henrie, the Disney Channel actors who never reached "peak" stardom but were still very present for a very long time on the scene.
A fun walk down memory lane for anyone who grew up on High School Musical and Hannah Montana but don't expect too much commentary on the legacy Disney Channel's personal ethics have left on Hollywood.
