Talk:The Lizzie McGuire Movie

Auction

 * Some of the props and costumes used by the cast are up for auction. How much would you pay for a little bit of Lizzie?

That's not necessary. I'm taking it out.--BlueGlowGuardian 07:34, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Not Necessary
I'm not a watcher or fan, but I take glances while my younger sister watches it; anyhow, my point is that this article needs serious cleanup, mainly this paragraph:

Before the 15-minute mark, she is photographed falling into the tub (clothed, it's rated PG); her former best friend (Kate, who is now an enemy) rags on her for wearing the same dress (under her graduation gown!); she is forced to make a speech in place of the valedictorian with no notice (and no notes) by a demeaning teacher ("You're no Margaret Chan"); and she trips on the backdrop, which falls over everyone on stage; film of this is secretly sent in to Good Morning America by her little brother, although made more popular internationally by CNN.

The phrases in bold means that they need to be cleaned up.
 * 1: the word 'rags' is not suitable for an encyclopedia article, it's highly juvenille. It should be revised to: "her former best friend (.............) is infuriated with her...."
 * 2: "(under her graduation gown!)"; the exclamation point is not neccesary.
 * 3: "forced" should be revised to "pressured"
 * 4: (and no notes) doesn't serve any purpose in the sentence because we already know that she is unaware.
 * 5: ("you're no Margaret Chan"); I've no idea what this has to do with the article, but I'm taking it out.
 * 6: 'falls over' should be revised to 'topples over'.
 * 7: "film of this"; should be changed to footage, there also doesn't need to be a semicolon between the two phrases, a comma will do just as nicely.

In conclusion, this article sounds very juvenille and 'oversimplified', the punctuation is incorrect as well. Who cares now? I'm changing it. --4.253.112.145 21:40, 26 November 2005 (UTC)Insomniak

Plot summary
The plot summary for this article is written really strangely. Kind of like tongue in cheek barely restrained mockery. Looking back in the history I see Ed Poor is responsible for adding all this material to the article. Anyone up for trying a rewrite? I haven't seen the movie myself.

 * OK, I see Dtobias did a little work in this direction. Everyking 05:25, 20 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Hey! In the movie, Miranda Sanchez went on a vacation to Mexico with her family, not in Cancun. Lizzie told one of her friends that Miranda went to Mexico on a vacation with her family and Miranda missed the Graduation Party and the Graduation Trip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachkudrna18@yahoo.com (talk • contribs)


 * Well, Cancun is in Mexico. – Mipadi 02:28, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Isabella Singer
In the movie, during the Music Show Isabella shows up and sings. Who sings as Isabella? I looked in the credits and its not there? Can anyone help me?--Dylankidwell 02:52, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Isabella is played by Hilary Duff, you know, COMPUTER ANIMATION.

I mean during the "INVMA" Isabella's singing voice is different than Hilary's. Who sings that part?--Dylankidwell 20:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Haylie Duff (Hilary's elder sister) sings as Isabela, but Hilary acts as Isabella.

Lizzie Dance Double
In the movie it appears that someone is acting as a dance-double for Hilary (purple outfit). Is it known who that is?

Yeah the double is listed in the credits as "Lizzie Dance Double". I dont remember how ever who she is--Dil 03:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

When I see you smiling...
Why is it that, in the fast version of "What Dreams are Made of", when Lizzie sings, "When I see you smiling I go/Oh, oh, oh", it sounds like, "When I see you smilin'-Sigh go..."?

Sequel plans & New series
Dick Cook from Disney Studios offered Duff a two-picture deal, including $3.5 million for a sequel plus a $500,000 bonus if The Lizzie McGuire Movie grossed $50 million. Hilary's mom Susan, said they wanted $5 million. She also wanted a producer credit for herself, and wanted Disney to pay her cell phone bills. Susan had a script for A Cinderella Story, which she shopped the project to every studio but Disney, and Cook was furious when he found out. He withdrew the two-picture offer, but negotiations for a sequel proceeded. Within three weeks, the gross for The Lizzie McGuire Movie at the box office had exceeded $40 million, and it seemed sure to pass the $50 million mark. Susan demanded Hilary's $500,000 bonus. Cook refused, she'd get the bonus when gross passed the target, and not before. But he reiterated the $4 million offer. Susan said she wanted $4.5.

Cook refused to budge, and gave her a deadline of May 8. The day came and went, and there was no word from Susan or Hilary's lawyer of manager. The next morning Susan called. "Okay, we'll take the deal." "You missed the deadline," Cook replied. That same day, Disney announced plans for a sequel had ended. "Disney thought they'd be able to bully us into accepting whatever offer they wanted to make, and they couldn't," Susan told Entertainment Weekly. "We walked away from a sequel. They walked away from a franchise." Roy Disney thought that Susan Duff had a point. There were also plans for a Lizzie McGuire series on Disney's ABC network, which would chart Lizzie's course through high school.

What. The. Heck.
Who in the world wrote this in the Review section?

But overall the film received great reviews and showed the critics wrong with a wonderful performances by Duff, and the rest of the cast.

I can clearly see this statement has no encyclopedic value and has no citation, also. --76.113.238.187 (talk) 01:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
