Zapped Might Be Disney's Most Disturbing Movie

Zendaya: looks like a fairly normal teenager Zendaya's love interest: a 30 year old business analyst

The cooking kid got off too easy. The other two brother literally had to undergo psychological torture and become shells of their former selves, and the cooking kid just gets better at cooking.

A better premise for the movie would be Zoey ACCIDENTLY controlling her brothers. Like, she says that she wishes they would listen to her (but she wasn't being serious) and all of a sudden they're obeying her every command and aren't themselves anymore. Zoey realizes that they're perfect just the way they are, everything is fixed, all is forgiven, blah blah blah... you get it.

New idea for Zapped: It starts off normal but really leans into the idea that she hates her new family and after her phone gets "zapped", one of her brothers breaks the mind control but has to pretend he's still controlled. He slowly has to figure out how to disable the control on the rest of his family and the boys at school. Now, 2 ideas for endings: 1. He takes the phone and breaks the control over the boys and either she learns that she was wrong, or doesn't. 2. While trying to get the phone, he falls back under the control of the app and it cuts to a dystopian future where his sister rules the world and he's her personal slave. It'd be a psychological horror. Let me know what you think

She gave one brother hygiene centered OCD, she gave one an immediate skill so he can be her personal chef, and she turned the other one into a moth....... Ah yes good job.

“And then at one point she forces the love interest to kiss her” Ah yes sexual assault in a kids movie

The guy who played the focussed stepbrother did really well haha. His performance when he stares at the lamp was hilarious

I love seeing ADHD represented as "messy mind" and you should just ''be focused" that's not frustrating at all

The love interest guy definitely only knows about preying mantises because he’s had to retake that class like 4 times. Why can’t more guys get women by memorizing the lessons that they’ve been learning since 1975???

"don't try to play god" is a hell of a message for a disney channel movie

Im still in school, and I hate how movies depict middle and high school as like this, because this really isn't how it is. Everyones just depressed now

Not only is To Kill A Mockingbird required reading in most schools, but it makes me believe he’s just doing homework even more when the book he holds up is the exact same version as the one I was given to read in school

I went to High School with the kid who played the gross cooking brother- We were both in the drama program together. One time he was paired with me for a tableaux project and showed up late. He decided he wanted to be ‘the table’ in a piece about a wedding?? When I questioned him on it, he showed me a selfie of him with Zendaya, said she was his future prom date, and that I knew nothing about acting until I was a Disney child star like him. I have been waiting so long for someone to make a video on this movie just so I can share this story. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I had a sinking feeling that the stepbrother was going to be a love interest, thank GOD they went the normal route with one single part of this movie

I read a book when I was younger called "Boys Are Dogs" and it was almost this exact premise, except it wasn't magic, it was just a girl using psychology from a dog training book to make boys better behaved 😭

As a girl who watched this movie growing up, I feel like this film really understood how (some) younger girls saw boys. As an 8 yr old, I saw boys my age as mean, rude, sports fans and gross (unless I had a crush on them lol). Basically how this movie portrays boys. I remember it felt really good to see a film understand my POV. I just did not understand guys at all. I’m not sure if this film helped with that at all, but I think to some extent it did.

I can vouch for the "gross cooking brother" being totally real because I have one. When he was little he made a water sandwich which was just soggy bread and recently in his 20s he tried to give his pot roast a smoky flavor by putting incense sticks in it. My dad got food poisoning

The ending actually makes a lot of sense. it’s because, as everyone knows, you can never make a dog turn against their pack

I'm shocked to find out that Danny apparently doesn't have a Concoction Boy in his family. They go hand-in-hand with Potion Girl, they're besties.

16:47 am I the only one thinking that this is giving very... unsettling vibes? Like, it's just giving the same vibes as a scene from a Nick show that Dan Schneider was involved in where the characters take off their shoes and socks.
