Back in a little year, I like to call: "The calm before the storm" aka 1999, Disney launch a great new idea: Disney Channel Original Movies! And the first original movie was Zenon: Girl from the 21st Century. The tagline? She's One Galactic Girl Who Saves The Day In A Stellar Way!
It was perfect. It had all the elements: a clear evil guy, too smart for her own good/beautiful 13 year old, a hot british? rock star, and Raven Symone pre-"That's so Raven". And wait one more! SPACE!!
I still remember and occassionally use Zedis Lapedis! or sing Zoom Zoom Zoom you super nova girl to myself in my shower.
Remember this is the start of Disney's Movies of the Month campaign which led to High School Musical.
But what is Zenon up to now? Kirsten Storms is now a soap actress with imdb credits like General Hospital and Days of our Lives. Oh how I wish I could write in a line: "You're baby is twins with another baby in your sister's womb and your sister fell into a coma. Zedis Lapedis!" Maybe when I become a writer for Space Station which of course will be set in 2046 AD
