[edit] Plot Summary

Also known as Zenon the Zecond Zequel, high achiever Zenon Kar is competing to win the Galactic Teen Supreme contest and celebrate at the Moonstock Festival in the year 2054. When Zenon wants to beat handsome competitor Bronley Hale, she runs headlong into Moon preservation activist Sage Borealis. Sage is desperate to keep the Moon from being colonized and exploited and wants Zenon's help. Meanwhile Commander Plank and Aunt Judy's precocious new foster daughter, Dasha is star struck by Zenon and finds it difficult to stay put and out of trouble.

[edit] Trivia

  • This was the first Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) to have its own site on Disney Channel.com
  • This was the first DCOM to have two sequels. The second was the Halloweentown series.
  • In the film, the characters see the Earth descending in the sky while on the Moon. In fact, due to tidal locking, the Earth stays in the same spot of the moon's sky and does not move.
  • This is the only Zenon film to not be released on VHS or DVD.
  • There are many 'Z's placed throughout the movie. This was for a contest Disney had to see who could find all the Zs.
  • Sage Borealis is similar to Aurora Borealis.
  • Although Raven-Symone did not appear in Z2 and was replaced, she reprised her role as Nebula in Zenon:Z3.
  • A new character is added to Z's posse: Nebula's cousin "Cassieopea" or Cassie for short.
  • Zenon and Margie are apparently still Best Friends since Z2.
  • Nebula is "taking a semester on Hawaii" which is why she is away. The reason Nebula doesn't have a bigger role in the movie is because Raven was too busy, although she did make a few minor appearances.
  • (Incorrectly Regarded as Goof) When Dasha overhears Judy and Commander Plank talking about the dog, and she thinks that they're talking about her, Plank mentions "big brown eyes". A closer look at Dasha reveals that she actually has blue eyes. But later, Zenon tells Dasha that she doesn't have brown eyes, meaning that this isn't a mistake.
