Zombies” is a coming-of-age story about diversity that begins with the love between a human and a zombie. The fascinating story of Disney’s most popular kids and teen series is explained.
The “Zombies” trilogy
In the “perfect town” of Seabrook, where individuality is frowned upon, Addison, a cheerleader, and Zedd, a zombie, fall in love. In the sequel, “Zombies 2,” a wolf tribe joins the group, and in the new “Zombies 3,” to be released exclusively on Disney Plus on Friday, July 15, 2022, aliens appear and threaten the familiar environment.
Both zombies x humans, different at the species level, are at first scared of the other, assume this is how it is, and are full of prejudice against the other.
Through the ultimate diversity across species, the big message of how prejudice is created, how stupid discrimination is, and how accepting yourself and others can lead to positive results is conveyed in an easy-to-understand way with music and comedy, which is the biggest attraction of “Zombies” series’ greatest appeal.
In addition, each of the main characters in the series is a high school student with their own personal problems, and the series gives them the power to overcome these problems by powerfully expressing the common teenage feelings of self-discovery and unfulfilled anger through high-energy music and dance. The series has received overwhelming support from teens around the world.
Zombies” has been recognized as the highest level of dance in DCOM’s history. That’s no wonder, because the choreography is by amazing people such as Christopher Scott, a famous choreographer, Dondriko Johnson, who has toured with Madonna, and Jennifer Webber, who has created a hip-hop version of the famous ballet “The Nutcracker” that is getting a lot of attention! So.
The quality of the soundtrack supporting the dance performances is also high, with “My Way” from the first film having over 100 million views on YouTube, “Someday” over 150 million views, and “Flesh & Bone” from the second film having over 200 million views, a threatening number.
Different races have different dance styles.
- Humans who hate individuality = cheerleading, performing a predetermined routine in a group
- Zombies who love individuality = hip-hop dancing with different individual movements
- Wild wolves = house dance footwork that expresses wildness
- Aliens from another planet = robotic dance with a futuristic feel
BAMM” (“Zombies”)
The gravity-defying “BAMM” scene, filmed on special air mattresses, was the best performance of the night, showing the “superhuman” abilities of the zombies.
Fired Up” (Zombies)
For the series, a professional cheerleading squad was hired to perfect the performance of the cheerleaders.
Flesh & Bone” (“Zombies 2”)
The energy and power of this song can be felt even through the screen as it is performed during the seizure of the moonstone, the source of the werewolf tribe’s power.
