There are four episodes on this DVD, each a part of the Miley Stewart/Jake Ryan saga. Jake is a famous teen actor who wants to go to a regular high school, but apparently doesn t own a blonde wig. He lets everyone know exactly who he is, and is treated as a star which Miley hates.
The four episodes trace their relationship from the very beginning (Jake likes Miley, she hates him) to the end (Miley finally likes Jake, he s gotten tired of waiting for her). It doesn t include the recent episode in which Miley tells Jake that she s Hannah, so don t get your hopes up there. But the episodes teach the kids something important, if they actually listen to it.
is about knowing who your real friends are, being true to yourself (even when you re living a double life), and looking beyond how people act to see how they really are. It s about family even when the family is completely nuts. And there are some lines that only the parents will get, so it s worth watching with your kids once.
I like the fact that Disney decided to package a storyline, rather than just releasing a Season 1 DVD set. Their target market may not have snapped up a multi-disc set, but they ll go for one DVD with a full storyline on it. Or, to put it another way, the parents of Hannah s fans will be more willing to shell out $15 than $50.
So kudos to the smart marketing department at Disney. The video quality is good, and the audio quality is also quite good though parents may want to invest in some headphones for their kids before taking this one on a car trip. That blasted theme song is still running thorough my head.
The only new material on the DVD is one music video (for Nobody s Perfect ) and the Meet Miley Cyrus interview. Don t expect anything controversial out of the interview it s essentially a PR piece letting all the kids out there know that Miley is a real kid, just like them, who has brothers and sisters that torment her and parents that drive her crazy. And the exclusive music video will be all over Disney Channel in a few months, I m sure.
But the real question is, Do the kids like it? And the six-year-old in the back seat of the van watched this blasted DVD five times through this weekend, pausing only to watch the new There are four episodes on this DVD, each a part of the Miley Stewart/Jake Ryan saga.
