Well, after another five months in hibernation, I’ve come out of my unceremonious slumber to cover another DVD release of a Disney television show, as part of my series of videos tackling all the ones I own chronologically by series premiere date originally intended to celebrate Disney Channel’s 40th anniversary back in April 2023,...until the series continued long past that day, and now has even gone on pass Disney Channel’s 41st anniversary date.
If it hasn’t become obvious by now, I’m awfully tired of having to do these videos. Covering almost nothing but Disney Channel DVDs on this side channel of mine has become so tedious, I no longer get any joy out of it. Therefore, I am ending the elongated anniversary celebration with this video, three uploads ahead of when I was originally planning to conclude it. Thankfully, this particular installment of the series provides a perfect ending point even if it wasn’t originally intended to be one: the final DVD I currently own of a live-action Disney Channel Original Series. Get ready to dance it up and party it up with CeCe and Rocky, because it’s time to wrap it up with the one and only DVD release of Shake It Up!
Shake It Up: Mix It Up, Laugh It Up! was released on June 18, 2013, and includes seven episodes of the series, appropriately beginning with the pilot “Start It Up” (though the featured installments are not the first seven episodes chronologically in either airdate order or production order, not that it really matters for a sitcom as episodic as this one). This was released during the period when Walt Disney Home Entertainment was starting to get lazy with their DVDs of Disney Channel programming, before outright stopping the release of such titles (outside of a few released as exclusives to the Disney Movie Club) five years after this disc came out, so there are no special features, and all the menus are static (though at least accompanied by upbeat background music, though strangely excluding the seemingly obvious inclusion of the instrumental track for the show’s theme song). However, if you want to own the series legally on disc, this is literally your only option (outside of a few episodes included as bonus features on the 2012 DVD release of the Disney Channel Original Movie from a year earlier, Geek Charming).
Here is a rundown of everything you will find in this overview of the Shake It Up: Mix It Up, Laugh It Up! DVD…
OPENING:
1.) Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo (2014-present)
2.) Disney’s FastPlay selection screen
3.) The Little Mermaid theatrical trailer (for the movie’s ultimately scrapped September 2013 theatrical re-release in 3D)
4.) Planes theatrical trailer (groan!)
5.) Super Buddies: “Coming Soon Exclusively to Disney DVD” trailer (ugh!)
6.) “Not All Titles Available in All Territories” disclaimer
7.) FBI warnings and Bonus Features disclaimer (despite
8.) Disney DVD logo (2007-14)
9.) Start ot the episode “Start It Up”
CLOSING:
1.) End of the episode “Embarrass It Up”
2.) “Piracy is Not a Victimless Crime” warning
3.) Disney Movie Rewards instructional video (the same one that’s been used on all Disney DVDs and Blu-rays containing sneak peeks since 2011, even after Disney Movie Rewards changed its name to Disney Movie Insiders)
4.) The Muppet Movie (1979): The Nearly 35th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray promo
5.) DVD menus
And that’s it! Both for the video and the Disney Channel 40th anniversary celebration. I do still have plans to eventually cover my DVDs of shows made and owned by other studios that most people associate with Disney Channel thanks to premiering new episodes in most countries there, as well as a few Disney TV show DVD releases that I’ve gotten since starting the anniversary-themed event, but I want to finally start covering other kinds of DVDs on a regular basis first so that I don’t lose my mind covering nothing but Disney DVDs of Disney TV shows for even just a little bit longer. I’ve certainly learned MY lesson: next time I plan to celebrate an anniversary on this channel, it’s only going to be with one video (maybe two or three at the absolute most) so I don’t set up a commitment I can’t fully make. Hopefully, this journey was fun for as long as it lasted for you. It STARTED OUT fun for me, don’t get me wrong, but now I know when I need to draw the line for celebrations like the one I just finished.
Fuck (RU-vid Kids repellent).
