Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Twenty years after the premiere of Hannah Montana, the show's star, Miley Cyrus, is back on the set to celebrate in the HANNAH MONTANA 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL. Between interviews with Alex Cooper (Call Her Daddy), set visits with special guests, and live performances for longtime fans, viewers join Cyrus on a nostalgic journey down memory lane. She reveals behind-the-scenes secrets, revisits what made the show special in its heyday, and discusses why it continues to touch fans today.
Is It Any Good?
This is not a special for the casual viewer. Set references, key props, iconic costumes, and even full-on scene recreations all star in Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. Fans of the series will enjoy both the celebration of the past and the acknowledgement of how we got here, "mixing it all together" in a way only Hannah Montana could.
But in many ways, the "Hannaversary" special is just as much about Miley Cyrus as it is about Hannah—wasn't that always the case? The blurred lines between actor-singer and character finally merge in this one-hour documentary, where Cyrus reveals secrets, reminisces about her experiences on the show, and embraces the role of Hannah in her life. It's both a gift to longtime fans and an invitation to reflect on the lessons the show (and its star!) taught them growing up.
