The Disney Channel original movie “Princess Protection Program” aired June 26 2009, and was the classic story of two unlikely friends who find they have more in common then they think. Carter Mason (Played by Disney star Selena Gomez), also known as bait girl, is a regular tomboy, she has lived her life with her head wishing that maybe one day she could be a princess and than her crush; who just so happens to be the most popular guy in school might look her way.

Rosalinda (Played by Disney star Demi Lovato), on the other hand lives a life most people dream of, she is the princess on the tiny country where she lives. However to her princess duties aren’t all that great, she feels so much pressure to make her father proud of her and not let the people of her country down, she just wish that for once she could be like every other girl her age, have fun and just relax. When Rosalinda’s country is over thrown by an evil dictator, she is taken into the custody of the Princess Protection Program, where she must transform from Princess Rosalinda to teenage Rosie. She stays with agent Mason, and his daughters Carter; the girls go from worst enemies to best friends, and come to find what they were looking for was each other.

The film shows how you should never judge a book by its cover and that everyone can be princess, we all have that same beauty, kindness, and respect a princess is taught to have, just because born royalty doesn’t mean we’re in less special. The movie tells us that looks aren’t always the most import thing, Rosalinda show that beauty comes from the inside as well as the out, and even if you have a gorgeous cover, doesn’t mean you have the silver pages to match it.

Princess Protection Program tell us teaches us that no matter what we should always be ourselves even when the fear of not being liked gets in our way, we shouldn’t let that change who we are, and love our differences.

Carter realizes through out the film that Rosie and her different, but just maybe that what makes them good friends; they open one another’s eyes to a whole different side of things that the other never thought possible. The movie shares a great storyline with an even better lesson, which is why Sparkling Stars gives the film an A+ rating.
