Today seems like a good day to celebrate Miley Cyrus and look back at her role in one of the biggest shows, or Intellectual properties of all time for Diseny. Hannah Montana was a huge moment in time that gain a massiveed fan base all thanks to Miley's talent, and Disney's knowledge of milking every drop of money they can out of the idea of Hannah Montana. Today we are looking at the show, how big it truly was and the not so fun darker side that we didn't get to see.

[@evanmak7837]

Not gonna lie, changing her name to abuse the legal loophole was a genius management move and it kept her name relevant for years. Her mother is very smart.

Fun fact, Dolly Parton is Miley Cyrus’s irl godmother. They are super close and also do things professionally all the time, including hosting a New Year’s event on TV.

[@jessicasuzanne___]

Yep!

Yep 😊 Hannah Montana is lightly based on her life because the famous big blonde hair is a wig and Dolly is actually brunette and looks like a completely different person without her glam. She prefers it that way

Then again, Jason Earles was hilarious as Jackson & we can’t see anyone else playing him.

[@terrance1310]

I mean, Jason Earles does look pretty young for his age. Probably when he's 60-70 years old, way in the future, he'd look more like he was 40-50. I dunno. Me myself, hasn't really changed that much since I was around 14-15. So, if I was an actress, I could play much younger roles, despite being 24, and 25 next year.

It’s so crazy that Miley literally started the show at 12 years old and then had to tour as both character, film albums, and film series all the way until she was only 17 years old. She did more in those 5 years then some people do their whole lives, and she was just a kid.

I always thought it was weird how no one noticed Miley and Hannah had the same father, even if he wore a bad fake mustache as a disguise. If her father was famous, wouldn’t the world know who his kids are because of media and paparazzi? AND where they live? Even as a kid this bothered me lol.

[@eleazaleaza]

This was pure looney toons logic, and i think it was inconsistent ? Bc i remember Robby was supposed to be Hannah’s manager, but not necessarily her dad. I suppose you could argue Robby was a one hit wonder so maybe he was not easily recognizable, but this always bothered me lmao

I read somewhere that she's always been great to work with, being nice to everyone etc, which is even more impressing considering all the stress and her young age

Miley Stewart is basically the Disney version of Clark Kent. All she needs to do is wear a wig and no one will recognize her as Hannah Montana, while as for his case, he just needs to wear glasses and no one will recognize him as Superman.

[@skunkskiestink6620]

as a child i noticed the plot holes and just general unrealistic situations in every episode it was so annoying but i loved this show. like why would hannah montana be arrested for being pulled over with brunnete hair instead of blonde? did hannah have her own SS number, ID, medical records to even get a license.. i mean hannha is just like a stage name? and that guy wasnt even that short?

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Where do you live that you need medical records to get a license? A Stage Name is a legitimate thing. Plenty of people have a legal stage name that is also "legally" their name and not just something randomly used to hide an identity. Heck, a few entertainment unions do not allow two people in that union to have the same name Screen Actors Guild and Actor's Equity to name two. If you are just performing at dive bars and have a stage name it's one thing, but once you are as big as Hannah Montana is implied to be in the show you want LEGAL ties to OWNING your name. Many women run into this issue when they get married if they have been established under a certain name (men, less frequently, chose to change their name for marriage). So Hannah Montana is likely linked to enough things legally in some way that she could very well have a license that says Hannah Montana instead of Miley, but likely wouldn't have both without some legal issues as both names would be tied to the same SSN. It's really not a matter of if Hannah could have her own legal documents just a question of which she is "legally" in universe, Hannah or Miley. Both are possible as one is under no obligation to keep their birth name and many people do legally change to a stage name and have it on their documents instead of their birth name. In fact, Miley Cyrus herself was born Destiny Hope and changed it legally to Miley Ray in 2008. It's entirely possible she has enough documents in both names to get an ID or License in either name. Ridiculous Sit-com antics aside, what's stupid is that hair color makes a difference at all. People, especially women, frequently dye hair and wear wigs. And as long as you look like your picture, an updated hair color wouldn't make a difference.

[@katc2040]

​@TheDawnofVanlife most of the time you need your ssn and a birth certificate (medical record)

[@gracievaux]

I feel like you can really tell when Miley stopped being into the show. She said that once she grew up and had sex she felt silly putting the wig on and she was forced into doing a 4th season when she didn't want to. That's why there's such a large gap in between the 3rd and 4th seasons. I dont think Billy Ray wanted it either.

[@as19J01]

Robby Ray Stewart became such a sad character in season 4. He no longer cared about his health, becane just another "fat dad", and was barely involved with his children's lives. He was just .... there. I wonder if it had anythinv to do with Billy Ray Cyrus not caring about the character himself

[@growingupwithdisney]

Miley was tired of it but she was the only who ultimately was the one who decided to do the final season, Billy Ray gave her the choice since he knows how much the whole thing was for her. She knew the story wasn’t completely done yet by the season 3 finale, she just had more boundaries with Disney. She didn’t wanna do any tours, little to no photo shoots, no concerts, all she wanted to do was the show to finish the story. She wanted to break out the Disney image though, which Disney ended up completely removing everything that was Miley Cyrus from their brand and radio stations after she came out with Can’t Be Tamed. So she had to fund her own Miley tour in South America, and she wasn’t in Hollywood Records anymore

I think Black Mirror is also worth mentioning, since watching this reminded me of the ep Miley was in and it's interesting just how much that ep reflects her real life as she lost more and more control over herself and her image, considering as you mentioned, it was the Hannah Montana brand that Disney owned.

[@bribrilolzOG]

That ending off with Miley getting a special on Disney+ really just shows how Miley Cyrus truly has made it to where she can have the best of both worlds.

[@tylertyler3214]

I always thought a happier ending would be Miley deciding to have Hannah go on hiatus and living a normal life for a bit. Just putting the wig away and living life as Miley. Revealing the secret, and the following episodes where she shows she will never have a normal life again is just kinda depressing.

[@KpopHotspot24]

That’s exactly what I thought would be the better ending for the series as well rather than reveling the secret{Ya did it once in the movie Disney. Shouldn’t that be enough?} and showing she’ll never be a normal girl again. I felt depressed watching those final episodes in 2011.

[@growingupwithdisney]

That’s a great idea, it reminds me of what Carly decided to do with iCarly before moving away. I feel like the secret reveal was more impactful in the movie anyway, this would’ve been just as emotional. Also her reasons for revealing the secret were for other people, she didn’t seem ready. I like to think of revealing the secret as like a metaphor for being gay. That the other people around you have to make sacrifices for your secret, and you’ll never truly seem ready but it just takes courage. Your life won’t be perfect, but things can get better. No more Best of Both Worlds, all about being yourself

[@crab2195]

i disagree but only because that’s exactly what happened. the last episode shows miley giving up a movie role so she can go to college with Lilly. when she goes to Stanford you see that no one really cares that she’s miley so she’s able to live a relatively normal life as a college student. i think that was the show’s way of letting the audience know there will always be people who view miley as miley. we might’ve not seen miley live a normal life but the show ends in a place where it’s obvious that’s what she’ll do.

[@annejia5382]

[@hoyitsmiguel]

Long time enjoyer of your content, but I wanted to say that I really enjoyed this type of long video! Other channels/videos covering other Disney/Nick/CN shows sometimes go into the 5-10+ hour "turning into a documentary with individual episode play-by-play" style coverage, and others that are shorter than 10 min quick nostalgia trips - I find that this type of video is one of the best mediums between those, where it's enough of a deep dive to be longer than most, but not encroaching into extremely long coverages of a topic - I think the best thing that you've done with this type of dive is doing more quick bullet point style highlights, like with the Season 1 episodes, just transitioning from one point to the next rather than each single individual point in each episode like other ones I've watched Looking forward to more of what you make from here, whether it's the 20 min or 2 hour videos you make!

[@CarmenGonzalez-yw4uw]

This is why I wish KZbinrs wouldn't be hesitant to make videos about shows that have been covered by other KZbinrs. If they vary in length and structure, then there's something for everyone! Plus I love longform YT vids, and I would (and have) watch different videos on the same topic if they had differences like that.

One thing that’s crazy about Hannah Montana is some of the guest stars that showed up. Sure, there were some of the musical artists of the time like Jesse McCartney, David Archuleta, & Iyaz & even other Disney stars like Corbin Bleu of the High School Musical movies, Sterling Knight from Sonny with a Chance, & our favorite Wizard Alex Russo from Wizards of Waverly Place Selena Gomez, but then there are the actors who are more famous now who you’ll say “Wait, they were on Hannah Montana?!” One of them was the girl who shaved Jackson’s head bald being played by Alison Brie, better known as Annie from Community. However, the craziest of them all was definitely Sheryl Lee Ralph who played Roxy’s old high school rival. To those who don’t know who she is, that’s Barbara from Abbott Elementary! Bet you didn’t realize she was in an episode of Hannah Montana!

Regarding the Merch, no Miley never saw any of that money. And since Miley was not her official name until she changed it when the Miley merch came out initially she also never saw any of that money until her mother changed her name legally. This was her reasoning at least partly for going so far to destroy Hannah because Disney squeezed every penny out of her possible and she never saw any of it.

She also replied with saying that at the time she was 16 and she was outgrowing that whole Disney Channel phase that she had been in, since 2004 with being 15 at the time. (The first choice to play Hannah Montana was the singer JoJo who had, said the same thing that Aly said about not wanting to do a TV show about being a singer, but JoJo also added not wanting to play a high school student who was a pop star.) P.S. Sorry it's a big fact.

I love how when ur explaining a ep u actually have the video explaining/matches the scene! Some content I've seen just have the scene in loops!

[@annejia5382]

Hannah Montana has got to be one of the series with the most dream sequences 😂

[@robinshishido3510]

Love the breakdown of the episodes!! I always loved the show and I always loved Miley as an actress and artist. And she is still out there killing it!!

[@NostalgiaNerd777]

Man I remember watching this series back then and out of all of the plots I always enjoyed the plots involving the b plot when it came to the Rico of the beach house and of how goofy they end up being, and just seeing this video definitely wants me to go back and watch drake and josh, my favorite sitcom because of how relatable it is, definitely makes me wonder if you would cover that series in the future because of how fun that series is

I found it interesting that Hannah’s dad was a famous singer that people recognized but was also the same famous singer people recognized as Miley’s dad. No one put this together? 😂

7 hours of Hey Arnold, 2 hours of Pokemon and now 2 hours of Hanny Mantany....Where are you getting this Energy?!? 😱

[@jessien5463]

Hannah Montana + Jordan Fringe + 2hrs = I screeched at my phone aggressively in excitement

[@Alphawolf2017]

Dare I accuse you of coinciding the release of this video with the fact that Miley Cyrus released a new album today? Yes. Yes I dare. Multiple hours too? Man you're reaching for the automatic like from me (well of course you'll have it!).

[@TheNormalAsian]

Miley ending up with Jessie was literally my favorite thing growing up. I was rooting for them was so happy they were end game.

[@maudquemeneur6755]

Wow... I didn't realize how many episodes I had actually seen until this list.

[@timsuitor5996]

Hannah Montana was a show I was able to watch with my mum. She found most cartoon voices obnoxious, but this was something we could put on and enjoy together

[@angietoonz6605]

unpopular opinion, but season 4 was my favorite season. Maybe cause it was the only season with a dvd so i rewatched it a lot, but it felt so mature and well written.

[@itsQUINNderful]

1:20:00 it’s hilarious bc Lucas said he lied about knowing how to do animal voices he just agreed to it 😂

[@spongeson]

I had a Hannah Montana themed room when I was in early middle school 😭😭😭 this video was fantastic, brought me RIGHT back to age 10

[@yetiornot5726]

Fun fact: the Hannah Montana trading cards were canceled because they had 76× the legally allowed levels of lead in them.

[@mkayyy1918]

Wow I did not know Miley and Emily didn't get along outside of the show. It reminds me of Blake and Leighton not being friends irl

[@xXCarolineFireLilyXx]

Miley got such visceral hate when she was breaking free of the Hannah Montana persona. It's sad the extreme these child actors have to go to to be recognized as their own person and not be stuck in a role their whole life.

[@minimina1313]

to this day, I still use my nails like knives to open stuff wrapped in plastic, directly inspired by the way dolly picked a lock with her nail

[@barkbarkbarkwoofbark]

i was 6 when it started and watched every season. it was my entire childhood. i’m so glad i got to grow up in this era. i can’t believe it’s been so long, i still remembered every episode you went over vividly :) it really wouldn’t have worked if it came out at any other time. i have a good memory of my mom pulling me out of school in 4th grade to see the movie i still love miley and her new music is great. i love seeing who she becomes. it’s so sad what child actors experience. i can’t imagine the impact growing up like that would have, but i’m glad she’s been able to break out of it somewhat seeing all the merch made me feel like i was transported into my childhood. i definitely didn’t have all of that but it really was EVERYWHERE. mileys walmart clothing line too. just how saturated it was absolutely everywhere is insane to think about, there’s nothing like that today

[@frankfort332]

Miley wants to share the spotlight, the second a boy likes her friend for who she is, she loses her mind and tries to get all of his attention and is in love with him. W friend

Whenever one of our local drugstores was closing back in 2017 or so, they seemingly found an old Hannah Montana doll that I guess had been lost in storage for years. It had (very faded) packaging from season 2, so it had been there for like eight or nine years. I really regret not buying that doll because it was such a strange experience.

[@Carebearfanatic]

Hannah Montana was my childhood ! 6 year old me would watch the show religiously and I had every Hannah Montana Barbie doll I could sing all the songs and now I can’t even remember what I went a room for ugh 😑 I miss the 2000s

[@fruit3193]

I watched a video about Cory in the House recently, specifically about President Martinez. The conclusion was that in the Hannah episode with Obama, Martinez had been removed from office for some scandals, and Obama was previously the VP.

[@TaylorLee]

I outgrew Hannah Montana by the time the movie came out so watching this video was a great way to fill in those gaps. Thank you for making this! You definitely got a new subscriber
