Disney Channel’s Tween Stars SELENA GOMEZ and DEMI LOVATO.

Recast Real Life Friendship in Reel Life.

Disney Channel’s Tween Divas – Selena Gomez, [Star of popular show – “Wizards of Waverly Place”] and Demi Lovato [Star of Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) “Camp Rock” and series “Sonny with a Chance”] usher in the holiday season with the India premiere of their movie ‘Princess Protection Program’ on November 20th, 2009 at 5 PM on Disney Channel.

Inspired by the real life friendship between the stars, the movie is set against a comedic-but-adventurous backdrop. The storyline brings together the unlikely duo of sporty Carter Mason (Selena) – a regular teen living the country life in small town of Lake Monroe and Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore (Demi), the soon to be teenage monarch of fictional Costa Luna. When a foreign military take over threatens the tiny sovereign state, Rosalinda is taken into the protective care of the covert international Princess Protection Program. She is given a secret identity and has to come live with Carter and her dad, an agent with the program. Carter and Rosie initially are at logger heads because they are complete opposites in personality. The two gradually become close friends as Carter teaches Rosie to act like a normal American girl, and Rosie helps Carter believe in herself, quite like a Princess. Will Rosie manage to reclaim her due as the monarch of Costa Luna? To find out, watch Princess Protection Program on Disney Channel on 20th November at 5 PM.

 

Princess Protection Program created ratings history in US as TV’s No. 1 Entertainment Telecast of ’09 in Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14. The film is directed by Allison Liddi-Brown, written by Annie DeYoung and filmed in Puerto Rico.
