Storyline

Disney's "ZOMBIES" is a music and dance filled story set in the fictitious world of Seabrook, a cookie-cutter community brimming with perky conformity, 50 years after a zombie apocalypse. Today, the zombies pose no threat, but are required to live in Zombietown, an isolated, rundown community infused with their unique creative spirit. When zombies are finally allowed to enroll in Seabrook High School, the charming, charismatic zombie Zed, who is determined to play football, meets freshman Addison, who dreams of being a cheerleader - the ultimate form of status in Seabrook. Addison takes a lot of flak for befriending Zed and his zombie friends, but comes to learn that zombies and cheerleaders aren't so different after all. Zed and Addison work together to show Seabrook what they can achieve when they embrace their differences and celebrate what makes them a community.

Zombie High Musical

It's been 50 years since the zombie apocalypse. Zombies can now control their appetite with electronic bracelets and live in the segregated Zombietown. Addison (Meg Donnelly) is a normal teen in the neighboring Seabrook. Everyone is desperate to fit in and she has to hide her weird hair with a wig. She's trying to join the cheerleaders and is forced to prank the zombies as an initiation by her zombie-hating cousin Bucky. She refuses and befriends zombie Zed (Milo Manheim) as they fight the prejudice against zombies.

This is a simple Disney Channel movie. It hits all the right moral notes. It's silly but that's Disney. The most important part is Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim. She is enchanting in a broad way. He is a performer ready for Broadway. They are an appealing pair and that helps a lot. It's cute, silly, and fine.
