Disney Channel - Are you excited about the new movie "Radio Rebel"? If you are then you don't have to wait long as Disney will premiere "Radio Rebel" on February 17th, 2012 at 8pm.
POPULAR YOUNG ACTRESS
DEBBY RYAN STARS IN "RADIO REBEL,"
A DISNEY CHANNEL
ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17
Fan favorite Debby Ryan ("Jessie") stars as a teen who
secretly breaks free from her painfully shy self and into the persona
of a bold podcast host who rocks her Seattle high school with music
and the message to 'be yourself,' in "Radio Rebel," a
Disney Channel Original Movie based on the novel
Shrinking Violet, premiering FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17 (8:00
p.m., ET/PT). The soundtrack will include Debby
Ryan performing the smash hit "We Got the Beat."
Ryan
stars in Disney Channel's comedy series "Jessie" which
premiered in September 2011 and is pacing to be the #1 cable TV
series of all time among Kids 6-11. She also
starred in the movie "16 Wishes"
which delivered an impressive 5.6 million Total Viewers in June 2010.
She first gained popularity among kids, tweens and families in
Disney Channel's hit series "The Suite Life on Deck."
In
"Radio Rebel," Ryan plays Tara Adams, an introverted high
school junior who can't bring herself to speak in class -- and
especially when the newly-popular rocker, Gavin, is in her midst.
Tara can't imagine anything more intimidating than when her drama
teacher teams her in class with Gavin and his prom date, the school's
cliquish queen bee, Stacy. Her shyness at school notwithstanding,
alone in her room at home, Tara casts herself as Radio Rebel and, as
host of a nightly podcast, showcases her passion for music and
self-expression and her message to abandon cliques and celebrate each
other's differences. Radio Rebel quickly gains fans on campus --
especially when her show lands on a big, local radio station -- much
to the chagrin of the school's principal who considers Radio Rebel
and her message to be in clear defiance of the school’s
"anti-distraction policy." Meanwhile, Gavin raves about the
mysterious host and her taste in music but still, shy Tara – now
oddly jealous of her alter-ego – can barely finish a sentence in
front of him. As students clamor to learn the identity of Radio Rebel
and the show's popularity extends across Seattle, Tara's two worlds
begin to collide, reaching an apex when Radio Rebel is nominated
prom-queen and the school, in turn, bans prom, causing a backlash
from her fans. Now, Tara wrestles with two even bolder moves --
organizing an alternative to the prom and revealing that she is Radio
Rebel.
