A power plant explosion created the zombies
At the very beginning of zombies, Zed (Milo Manheim) and Addison (Meg Donnelly) explain how zombies started in Seabrook. Someone dropped some lime drink and it mixed with a mysterious green smoke to cause zombies.
The zombies attacked the city. However, the townspeople were able to build a wall and create a barrier between the zombies and the humans. 50 years later the zombies have evolved and can now communicate and not try to eat everyone’s brains. When zombies begins, there was a new rule that allowed the zombies to attend high school with the human students.
The Zombies soundtrack might remind you of Hamilton
Disney loves their musicals. Some of the The best music films Coincidentally Disney movies too. It’s a match made in heaven. Many of the The best Disney Channel movies also includes some kind of vocals, so that was inevitable zombies would include singing. However, nobody expected that there would be some songs that sound like they were inspired by Lin-Manuel Miranda. “My Year” and “I’m Winning” are the songs you might remember the most Hamilton.
Hamilton is one of the most successful musicals of all time, it makes sense that the team behind zombies may have used his style in creating songs, particularly for Zed’s parts. Corresponding billboardthe catchy pop songs make it a favorite soundtrack for many kids.
A zombie and cheerleader romance are the focus of the films
Addison and Zed immediately like each other. The film wastes no time as their mutual crushes turn into a secret romance. I haven’t invested myself this much in a teen Disney Channel romance since Troy and Gabriella. Like the famous ones high school musical Couple, in the sequel they reach a somewhat difficult stage.
Zed just wants to fit in and not be seen as a monster. While Addison tries to find a place where she belongs. He wants to protect her; she wants to run free. It’s a mess. they break up However, they get back together just in time for the final song and dance.
Addison’s hair mysteriously glowed at the end of Zombies 2
zombies revealed that Addison has white hair that she hides under a wig. At the end of the film, she decides to ditch the wig and go on with her natural color. It was about a moment of standing out, being true to yourself and embracing what makes you different. It just seemed like a feature that made Addison unique and special. zombies 2 gave the white hair a potentially deeper layer.
It connected her to a possible werewolf legend. Turns out that wasn’t why Addison’s hair is white, but at the end of the film her hair started to glow when she woke up. Viewers also saw what appeared to be potential aliens heading to Seabrook. zombies 3 will likely explore the hair mystery in more detail and whether it is related to Addison being an alien. The film could be stepping into must-watch alien film territory.
Werewolves joined Seabrook in Zombies 2
zombies 2 explained how werewolves also have a dark connection to Seabrook’s past. The city basically stole their land and light source. Much later, the werewolves are in Seabrook trying to find the moonstone in order not to die out.
They think Addison could be the key. She bonds with them, which makes Zed jealous. However, it turns out Addison isn’t the alpha they need to survive. However, she unites the city and helps them harvest the energy from the moonstone to survive. At the end of zombies 2It’s not entirely clear if the werewolves will be in town forever or just for a while.
I would assume the werewolves will still be around if zombies 3 streams.
The Z-Bands stopped the zombies from eating brains
That The best zombie movies Don’t paint them in the best light. zombies tries to clean up the zombie reputation. It does this by showing them human traits, but there’s a reason the zombies can think and feel like humans: their Z-Bands. The Z-Bands prevent them from becoming full zombies – eating people’s brains, having superpowers, etc.
in the zombies 2, the zombies learn that they can now better control their zombie instincts even when the Z-Band is off. This may mean that Zed will rely less on his Z-Band zombies 3.
Addison became a cheer captain in Zombies 2
Cheerleaders are a big deal at Seabrook. Because of this, former cheer captain Bucky (Trevor Tordjman) and the Aceys were popular thugs. Her school’s football team sucked until Zed came along, so the cheerleaders were the only top athletes in town.
in the zombies 2, Bucky runs for President and wins. This meant he could no longer be cheering captain. He chose his cousin Addison as his successor. Addison’s whole mission as a cheerleader and now captain was to allow everyone to cheer if they wanted to. This means that in zombies 3we may see a more diverse Cheer Squad.
One of the ongoing zombies Movie gags is that the football coach (Jonathan Langdon) is going through a really tough time. In the first film, he was divorced, living with his parents, and couldn’t afford simple things. He was also about to be released. However, Zed’s success on the football team brought him some success and happiness.
in the zombies 2, He started the film with a profitable fro-yo wagon. However, the introduction of the werewolves forced him to close it. He reopened at the end of the film. We expect the coach to face some new dilemmas zombies 3but let’s hope he continues to recover.
That zombies Movies are some of the the strangest disney channel original moviesbut one of the really funny family movies on Disney+.
electricity zombies 3 on Disney+ on July 15.
