For all its flaws and all the not-so-great material Disney Channel has released over the years, they have always been at the very least decent about representing minorities, and Gotta Kick! It Up and its diverse cast are a great proof of that. One thing I truly loved was that the large majority of the characters in the film were of Latin descent, pretty much everyone except the biology teacher and some people dancing in other teams. See, if anyone had started randomly dancing in my cafeteria when I was in high school, they'd probably have had food thrown at their person, but because this is a Disney Channel movie about talented dancers, everyone is fine with it, encourages the girl, and claps along. Somewhere in California, in their school, girls are dancing in the courtyard, in class, quite literally everywhere. That's the premise, and as I love nothing more than a story of an underdog rising to the top, I was on board. They then work at convincing their new biology teacher, who they found out attended the legendary Juilliard school, to become their coach. In a high school in California, the dance team coach retires, leaving the group without an activity. ![]() ![]() The plot is quite simple, and at the same time, right up my alley. (Since I currently am in the country of the baguette, my Disney+ is translated into French, so I have to research every title beforehand because typing in the original title leads you absolutely nowhere.) The latest installment in my various lists and catching up was Gotta Kick It Up!, which has weirdly been translated into Cadence in French. Times were hard, hard, lemon hard, and I wanted to catch up on all things Disney Channel. I was still in the dark when it came to the material that hadn't reached France at a time when I had the cable (until 2002) or at all, and it was one of my main reasons behind getting a Disney+ subscription. #Gotta kick it up tv#In France, we used to have a program called KD2A, which was on air on Wednesday and Saturday mornings as well as every day during the holidays, and they would play various teenage-orientated TV shows, including some Disney Channel ones, such as That's So Raven, Lizzie McGuire, Phil Of The Future, or Even Stevens, which I watched religiously. I have always loved The Lizzie McGuire Movie, as I have been a Hilary Duff fan since my teenage years. At this stage in my life, I have seen High School Musical and Camp Rock at least ten times, as they were always broadcast several times around Christmas time, and I couldn't help but sit down and watch them almost every time. Despite not having access to Disney Channel when I was a kid, I managed to grow up on various programs and films from the network, but, unsurprisingly, the best-known ones. ![]()
