The latest craze surrounds the live-action character of Hannah Montana. Disney is renown for creating appealing — nigh addictive — shows that entrance millions of young adults and teenagers around the world. The television show alone has been enjoyed across the globe, from Asia to Australia to South America to Europe. The sky is the limit for this inspired, life-affirming venture in entertainment.

The character of Hannah Montana, played by Miley Cyrus, enjoyed her high-water mark when Bart had to write on the blackboard “The capital of Montana is not Hannah.” A fair measure of your cultural impact is a passing mention on the longest running television show in history, THE SIMPSONS. To be sure, Hannah is not the capital, but she is extremely popular.

The television show follows the hectic life of a teenage girl who is a student by day and a celebrity by night. The four-disc edition, LIFES WHAT YOU MAKE IT, takes us into more personal territory as Hannah negotiates her relationship with Jake, played by Cody Linley. As the demands of a tour start to subsume her, she finds her voice is not fully cooperating. Her superstar identity might well be compromised, but the fun and laughs never stop.

The show has spawned video games, sold out concerts and some amount of picture-taking controversy. In a case of life imitating art, Hannah’s father is played by Miley Cyrus’s real-life father, country star Billy Ray Cyrus. Nominated for an Emmy Award, the series is now in its third season. There is a host of DVD series collections for Hannah, including Living the Rock Star Life, Pop Star Profile, One in a Million, Behind the Spotlight.

The character’s positive attitude and respectful nature have attracted millions of fans across the nation, and the world. Hannah Montana is a delightful series any parent can feel comfortable with. We hear even the former governor of Illinois was a fan. Everyone is wild about Hannah Montana, and for good reason.
