This weekend was the release of Disney+’s latest original feature film, Hollywood Stargirl. This is a sequel to the 2020 Disney+ hit about Stargirl Caraway played by Grace VanderwWaal. It’s interesting to note that this was one of the first feature films for Disney+ in its infancy. It did very well and thus we are able to continue with Stargirl’s journey.
As you could have guessed by the title, Hollywood Stargirl, we now find our protagonist moving out further west to the cut-throat streets of Los Angeles. Her mother has taken a job in the Holywood as a costume designer. We will see how Stargirl adapts to her new surroundings during the feature. As well as how her approach to life and attitude affects all those around her.
A couple of people that will be instantly affected by her personality will be the brothers Evan and Terrell, played by Elijah Richardson and Tyrel Jackson Williams. They are aspiring filmmakers that are working very hard to try and make their dreams come true. Together, they will discover their hard work is noted and appreciated by their community who are more than happy to lend a hand.
