Product Description

Kirsten Storms (TV's SEVENTH HEAVEN, ANY DAY NOW) stars as the irrepressible Zenon, living on a space station in the year 2049. Her outrageous antics are just what you'd expect from most 13-year-olds, but this one gets "grounded" for sleuthing in a restricted area of the spacecraft. Sent to Earth to cool her jets, Zenon is determined to return home to warn her family and best friend Raven-Symone (DR. DOOLITTLE, TV's THE COSBY SHOW) of an imminent danger! But our intergalactic do-gooder must overcome a few obstacles ... nobody believes her, the local teenagers confuse her, and Earth's gravity is really getting her down! It's stellar fun for the whole family -- no matter what planet you're from.

The Most Stellar Made For T.V Movie Ever!!!
I'm not a big fan of made for t.v. movies. I don't mind watching them once in a while, but they're not the best thing to waste your time doing. Anyway, I had read the little childrens book to my sister a couple years ago, so I decided I'd watch it when I heard Disney was going to make it. The book was about trouble maker Zenon who lives on a space station in the future being sent to earth to stay with her grand parents. She found it booring until her dog had puppies. I thought the book was so stupid. But Disney wrote a completely different story for the movie. In the movie, Zenon is in 7th grade, not 5th grade like in the book. When she is accidentially in the wrong place at the right time, she witnesses someone loading a virus into her space station that she lives on. When no one believes her, her parents ground her to earth, which is considered a very dangerous place to live because of pollution and earthquakes and such. She has a little trouble fitting in, but she ends up falling in love and discovers everyone in the space station is about to die because of the virus. Now she dosen't have much time to get back into space and save the day. I reccomend if you haven't seen it, that you go to your local video store and rent it, or maybe wait and see if the price drops. I guarantee you'll like it. Disney recently made a sequal called "Zenon: The Zequel." The first one was better though!

Out of this world!
A kids' movie adults will actually enjoy! It explores newworlds (literally) and gives the audience lots of visual treats:special effects, wild outfits, and lots of action. Zenon is a smart,capable teenage girl who's a bit out of the ordinary--she lives on aspace station in the mid-21st century. Other than that, she'sperfectly normal--in fact, she's recently gone head over heels for apopular music group. Zenon has a knack for getting into trouble,though, and when she pushes the limits just a little too far, herparents decide it best to send their daughter back to Earth (theultimate punishment) to stay with Zenon's aunt. Once there, Zenondiscovers just HOW different she is from the other kids--living up inspace is nothing like living in your typical American city--and shehas a few embarrassing moments, which are not unlike moments Earthkids experience when they transfer to a new country or culture. Thegreat thing about this movie is that it's never boring. Sometimespredictable, yes. Boring, no. Zenon is always involved in some kindof action-packed escapade. She's part detective, part crime fighter,part Superhero (almost). To put it simply, this movie is"stellar"!

Fun! Don't miss!
When my girls wanted to watch this, I thought for sure I'd sleep through it... I'm not one for out-of-this-world or alien-style movies. However, it was wonderful and I may have enjoyed it more, or at least as much as, my daughters. I have to admit that I have yet to find a Disney movie that I don't like, so I should have known they could create a great movie, even with a topic I didn't care for.

When Zenon gets sent to Earth to stay with her aunt, and stay out of trouble... well, as her first trip since she was a very young girl, it was very very funny to watch her fascination with the "manual" style of life. Watching Zenon adjust to Earth life is quite funny. Just her reaction to rain is an excellent scene.

In addition to adjusting to this life, she is determined to solve another mystery... the cause of her animosity toward the owner of the space ship her friends and family are living on... the space ship that suddenly begins to lose power and suffer serious and possibly fatal consequences. Can Zenon save the little space city, or will she end up an orphan? How can a young girl who routinely gets in trouble, and is known for her wild imagination, convince her parents of the root of this problem? You'll have to watch to find out... but I wouldn't miss this one! In addition to all of these problems, Zenon is developing some wonderful friendships, and testing their loyalty and human nature in order to save the space city. One other memorable character is Margie, the young girl who hates Zenon and wants nothing more than for her to return to the space city. If nothing else, she will keep you in stitches... and you just know from the first sight of her, and her reaction to Zenon, that this girl will keep you entertained.
