BELLA THORNE, ZENDAYA, STEFANIE SCOTT, 
NICK ROBINSON AND MARY MOUSER STAR IN 
"FRENEMIES," A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE ABOUT FRIENDSHIP,
PREMIERING FRIDAY, JANUARY 13

Bella Thorne and Zendaya (both of "Shake It Up"), Stefanie Scott ("A.N.T. Farm"), Nick Robinson ("Melissa and Joey") and Mary Mouser ("Body of Proof") star in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Frenemies," an anthology that follows three pairs of friends as they navigate the delicate balance when besties go to worsties, and back again. With themes of staying true to yourself, celebrating family and friendship, and following your dreams, the movie is set to premiere on FRIDAY, JANUARY 13 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. 

"Frenemies" follows the lives of three very different sets of friends dealing with the ups and downs of friendship.  The first story follows Halley and Avalon, best friends who are overjoyed when a publisher wants to turn their fashion blog into a magazine, but their friendship is put to the test when they learn that the magazine only wants one of them to stay on as senior editor. The second story follows the inseparable science-whiz Jake and his dog, Murray.  Jake is excited to introduce Murray to his new science project partner (and crush), Julianne, but there's something about her that Murray just doesn't like – and the feeling is mutual.  In the last story, tomboy Savannah who comes from a large, high-energy family meets privileged, uptown girl Emma, who looks like her twin.  The two girls become fast friends and decide to trade places for a while, but realize that life on the other side, isn't all that it's cracked up to be. 

Beginning Friday, December 15, visitors to DisneyChannel.com will get to meet   the "Frenemies" characters and play a three-part mini-game dedicated to the different storylines in the movie.
