Best Disney Films

The Disney film studio, specializing in the creation of children's films and series, as well as cartoons, was the beginning of a career for a number of stars of modern show business. The first, really memorable, the role of Selena received in "All tip-top, or the life of Zach and Cody." This is a popular children's series in the 2000s about twelve-year-old twins living with their mother at the Tip-Top Hotel and constantly falling into ridiculous and funny situations, which they get out of due to their age-wise ingenuity. And although the role of Selena was serious, in the series she appeared only once.

But after the series, Selena began to be invited to the main roles, and since then the actress has forgotten about the secondary heroines. The moment of triumph occurred when she was taken on one of the leading roles in the series, and subsequently the movie "Wizards of Waverly Place".

This is a series about the Russo family, which seems ordinary and traditional only at first glance. In fact, it turns out that all three children are wizards. In each episode of the series, they try to cope with their own characteristics, learn new spells, even turn back the clock! Alex, the heroine of Selena, constantly gets into awkward situations due to the inept use of magic, and her older brother Justin, the hero of David Henry, is forced to save her every time.

Justin is diligently studying all the rules for using magic, while the youngest in the family, Max (Jake T. Austin), prefers to use magic only as an entertainment and is not at all interested in theory. It could be a simple comedy series about family and teenage problems, but there are nuances that make you watch it to the very end: on giving, only one family can keep their magical abilities when they reach adulthood.

On the same Disney channel, Selena participated in other projects. This was the teenage project “Hannah Montana”, as well as “Another Cinderella Story”, which brought her popularity, “Princess Protection Program” and other films.
