It featured body switching hijinks and sibling rivalry, which are pretty solid plot points in the kid movie genre.
They were everything to the pre-Internet kid.įor girls who had cable and were in their early teens in the late 90s, Wish Upon a Star was a quintessential 90s teen TV movie.
These Disney movies recycled plots, wardrobes, movie sets, and supporting casts. It capitalized on slightly lower tier teen stars, the Andrew Keegans and Katherine Heigls, not the JTTs and Christina Riccis who were dominating the kid-oriented box office. Wish Upon a Star was one of the Disney movies that were deemed family friendly enough to play incessantly throughout the late 90s.
Remember when Katherine Heigl wasn’t an often maligned TV star/rom-com maven? Remember when the Disney Channel had TV movies with budgets and plots that befit their low quality, limited audience reach, and very targeted appeal?
