The Real Women of Disney


Well aren't these ladies all grown up? One thing these girls all have in common is that they are huge Disney stars. They have all had their own Disney Movies, TV Shows and record deals. There seems to be a formula when it comes to breeding the next star. They need to be actresses, singers and dancers. Triple threats. They become hugely popular with children and make millions for Disney. Then they grow up - and they completely detach themselves from the mouse ears. Here is a list of my top 5 Women of Disney's past.

1. Hilary Duff
She was the first, the original and the best. She starred as Lizzie McGuire in the TV show and then the movie. She also had other made for TV movies such as Cadet Kelly. After the movie she left Lizzie behind. Since then she has had 4 albums and three compilation albums, starred in films such as Cheaper by the Dozen and had bit parts in TV shows like Two and a Half Men. Also she is the first to have a baby and get married. I love Hilary. I want her to do more stuff - but for now I will just enjoy her hugely popular Instagram profile.

2. Raven Symone
Star of That's So Raven. The funniest show to come from Disney in my opinion. She also starred in 2 Cheetah Girls Movies (both very entertaining). Since she left Disney she has done bits and pieces. I really enjoyed her sitcom, State of Georgia, but like all the shows I like it eventually got cancelled. She is now a star on Broadway in the musical Sister Act, I desperately need to see this.

3. Miley Cyrus
The Queen of Disney. Her show and movie for Hannah Montana was huge! She got world famous and had hit songs in every chart. She was a phenomenon and you can't even argue with the fact. Since leaving Disney she has probably had the biggest transformation. She has targeted a much older crowd than the tweens she entertained for years. Gone are the lovely locks of hair and say hello to tattoos and punky blonde hair. I personally like her new music and her transformation. She seemed trapped with Hannah and I think now she doesn't give a shit and she is just being Miley.

4. Selena Gomez
The beautiful and talented star of Wizards of Waverley Place. She is an amazing comic actress. She also did the movie for TV show. Not as good but she then did one more season of the show so all was forgiven. She hasn't officially left the brand as she just did a TV movie and brought her character back. However, when not working for Disney she is doing more grown up stuff. Spring Breakers was definitely a huge detachment and her music is more grown up and more suitable for the clubs than a quinceanera.

5. Demi Lovato
Demi started out in a Disney movie called Camp Rock and her voice shocked us all. For such a young lady her voice is very mature. She then got her own show called Sonny With A Chance. It wasn't great but it showcased her skills. Unfortunately through personal struggles she left the show and Disney. After getting healthy she has now become a judge on The X Factor and released number one albums. If I was to listen to any former Disney Stars music it would most definitely be hers.

Right now we have a new generation of Disney stars coming through. I don't watch Disney anymore but you can't ignore the power house of it. Ones to watch out for are Bridget Mendler, China McClain, Zendaya and  Bella Thorne - they already have their own shows and record deals - world beware.
