The Disney Channel Original Movie “Hatching Pete” makes its debut on April 24th. The movie stars Mitchel Musso (Hannah Montana), Tiffany Thornton (Sony with a Chance) and Jason Dolley (Cory in the House).
The DCOM is about “Pete Ivey (played by Dolley) is a quiet and often overlooked 16-year-old who must stand in for his outgoing best friend Cleatus Poole (played by Musso) when Cleatus cannot complete his duties as their high school mascot, a chicken. The chicken mascot, with Pete anonymously behind the mask, soon becomes the main attraction at school, but no one knows it’s not Cleatus in the suit. Once it’s revealed that Cleatus is not in the costume, it’s up to Pete to decide if he’s willing to step into the spotlight.”
If you can’t catch the movie on the 24th, no problem because it’s airing three times that weekend! During the Saturday encore, you’ll get an exclusive sneak peek of “JONAS”. It will feature a behind-the-scene look into the show and will be hosted by the Jonas Brothers, Chelsea Staub and Nicole Anderson.
