Are you getting excited for the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie? I know I am! The movie looks to have plenty of action, comedy and family fun.

The hit Disney Channel series, Wizards of Waverly Place gets the movie length treatment as the Russo finds themselves in jeopardy when Alex Russo (Selena Gomez) casts a spell in anger.

Disney has announced the movie will premiere on the Disney Channel at 8pm on August 28, 2009!

The Disney Channel is amping up its promotion of this movie event.  They will air special cast picked episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place, leading up the movie’s premiere date.  The Wizards cast will host their movie’s presentation for the entire weekend of August 28, 29 and 30, with behind-the-scenes look at the Magic of Wizards of Waverly Place.

Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana Crossover airs THIS Friday at 8pm!

Nine stars from three shows all aboard the S.S. Tipton for crazy Disney Channel fun!

Don’t miss this special event this Friday at 8pm to the Disney Channel.

Disney did a fantastic job with their first crossover event, That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana, which brought episodes of the Suite Life of Zack & Cody, That’s So Raven and Hannah Montana together.  I’m more excited by this second crossover event.  We will get to see great pairings from the various shows, as well as Hannah Montana and London Tipton catching up from the last crossover event.  Too bad Ashley Tisdale isn’t on Suite Life on Deck.  I enjoyed her character (Maddie Fitzpatrick) sharing screen time with Hannah in That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana.

Disney also announced it will release the 90-minute, 3-part event on Disney DVD on September 22, 2009. Special features will include cast bloopers and behind-the-scene footage.

Read the plot for Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana below.  Then watch the Disney Channel commercial.

Part 1: “Cast-Away (To Another Show)”

Part 1 is Episode 25 of Season 2 of Wizards of Waverly Place. Justin (David Henrie) is excited to meet London Tipton (Brenda Song) when he wins an essay contest prize: a cruise on the SS Tipton. Alex (Selena Gomez) and Max (Jake T. Austin) join Justin onboard, where Alex bonds with new friend Bailey (Debby Ryan), but soon gets in hot water when she uses magic to bring Harper (Jennifer Stone) aboard. Meanwhile, Max and Zack (Dylan Sprouse) compete in a series of outrageous challenges.

Part 2: “Double-Crossed”

Part 2 is Episode 21 of Season 1 of The Suite Life On Deck. Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) boards the SS Tipton on her way to a concert performance in Honolulu. To impress Bailey, Cody (Cole Sprouse) enlists Woody (Matthew Timmons) to help him get tickets. Meanwhile, the Russos use a little magic to spice up their vacation – Alex pulls a prank on Justin, for which Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis) blames Zack, while Max introduces London to a magical suitcase.

Part 3: “Super(Stitious) Girl”

Part 3 is Episode 19 of Season 3 of Hannah Montana. While on the ship deck, Miley loses the charm ankle bracelet that her mother gave her and when things start to go wrong, she is sure it’s because she lost her lucky charm also London finds it. Miley as Hannah asks her to give it back but London refuses. Meanwhile, Cody tells Bailey that he has a close friendship with Hannah and promises great seats to her concert but Alex also says she and Bailey can go together.



Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie Soundtrack

To coincide with Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, Disney is releasing a soundtrack to movie.  Premiering in August, Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie will air on the Disney Channel as part of the network’s Summer of Stars.

Here’s the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie Soundtrack Listing:

1. Disappear – Selena Gomez
2. Magical – Selena Gomez
3. Magic (Pilot) – Selena Gomez
4. Strange Magic – Steve Rushton
5. Magic (The Cars) – Honor Society
6. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic – Mitchel Musso
7. Magic Carpet Ride – KSM
8. Magic (Xanadu) – Meaghan Martin
9. You Can Do Magic – Drew Seeley
10. Some Call It Magic Raven – Symoné
11. Do You Believe in Magic – Aly & AJ
12. Everything Is Not As It Seems – Selena Gomez

Now listen to samples from the album:

Unfortunately, I’m not not overly excited about this soundtrack.  I love Aly & AJ (now called 78violet), but their contribution to the album is song that already appeared on “Into the Rush.”  Selena Gomez does sing four of the twelve songs on the soundtrack, so if I’m purchasing it I’m buying it for Selena.  More likely I’ll purchase the Selena Gomez songs off iTunes.

It’s obvious Disney decided to just remake songs that have magic in the title, since it’s for a movie about Wizards.  While it’s neat to hear the Disney music stars’ rendition of these pop classics, I’d much rather Disney offer original music for the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie.

In the episode, Miley is in the hospital recovering from a concert injury, she overhears Oliver (Mitchel Musso) say “I love you.” Assuming he was saying it to her, Miley tells Lilly (Emily Osment), and they hatch a plan to remind Oliver of his feelings for Lilly.

My most favorite Hannah episodes where Miley hatches a crazy scheme and drags BFF Lilly along for the adventure.  This episode should be great!

‘Wizards on Deck With Hannah Montana’ coming July 17

The Disney Channel brings three of its shows together for another Crossover Event!

Last time it was the That’s so Suite Life of Hannah Montana which brought the stars of That’s So Raven, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and Hannah Montana together.  Crossovers are very tricky.  It’s not always easy to blend different styles together.  Inevitably a character or show element is short-changed for the sake of the crossover.  The Disney Channel writes masterfully brought together those three shows to form an almost sleemless story.  It wasn’t perfect but it made for a great hour and a half event!

I hoped that the That’s so Suite Life of Hannah Montana had reached a level of success for The Disney Channel so they’d bring together three more shows again.  I hoped for Hannah, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Sonny With A Chance.  Recently, Selena Gomez guest starred brilliantly on Sonny as herself, thus establishing in “the Sonny Universe” that Wizards of Waverly Place is just a TV show.  Though I doubt the Disney Channel would hold tight to continuity if it meant preventing them from bringing some of their hit franchises together.

Premiering at 8pm July 17, 2009 on the Disney Channel, the crossover event is called Wizards on Deck With Hannah Montana.

The Celebrity Cafe has a break down on the crossover event as well the contest that is coinciding with the event.

Wizards Of Waverly Place: The Movie – Full Length Trailer

During the Friday, June 26 premiere of Disney Channel’s Princess Protection Program, we received an extra special treat in the form of the full-length trailer of Wizards of Waverly Place:  The Movie!  The two-hour movie version stars all the series regulars and will premiere on the Disney Channel August 1 at 8pm.

The movie deals with the Russo family vacation gone wrong.  Parents Jerry and Theresa decide to celebrate their anniversary at the Carribbean resort where they first met, bringing their children along.  Alex (Selena Gomez) becomes upset at the lack of freedom she’s given.  In a fit of anger, she wishes her parents had never met, casting a time reversal spell causing her parents to not meet.

With her brothers Justin and Alex, they must journey into the jungle to find the Stone of Dreams to reverse the spell and save the family.

Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie looks like a winner!  The TV show is fun and the movie version seems to have captured that essence, along with a bit of extra added action and suspense.  Check out the full-length trailer below!

It just kills me to see people lose someone they love, so I want to do as much as I can: give money to doctors and hospitals; get nurses in there that care; put a smile on a little kid’s face. The things we’ve done through City of Hope [a cancer research, education and treatment center] have been amazing: The Jonas Brothers and I have raised nearly $2.5 million through concerts.”
