Disclosure: I received a copy of Disney’s ZOMBIES complimentary, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Have a Disney ZOMBIES Movie Night!
One of Disney Channel‘s most recent original movies was one that I absolutely loved, and was quite unique: ZOMBIES. Disney’s ZOMBIES is a movie musical, that takes place 50 years after a zombie apocalypse. Now that zombies are no longer a danger to the typical person, they are able to be enrolled at a regular high school for the first time ever! ZOMBIES centers around zombie Zed, who is determined to play football even though zombies have never been on the football team at Seabrook High School. Throughout the film, zed and cheerleader Addison work together to try to embrace their differences.
The movie is reminiscent of the early 2000’s Disney Channel Original Movies, with catchy musical numbers and beautifully choreographed scenes. Yet at the same time the film is very unique, with its bubblegum-pastel color schemes and a 1950’s sci-fi feel, reminiscent of the kitschy atomic age. The zombies are no virus-infected Walking Dead monsters, but instead are affected by toxic waste and are pleasantly color-blocked. Kids will love the bubbly acting and poppy musical numbers, and parents will enjoy the sweet (but never saccharine) Romeo-and-Juliet story, with a decent amount of palatable social commentary.
Disney’s ZOMBIES is now out on DVD, and to have your own family movie night at home, I created a couple simple movie night snacks that are Seabrook High’s school colors: pastel green and pink!
