Looks like Raven-Symon is spilling some tea about Disney Channels biggest legends and yes, shes not holding back. In a new‘Stepping Into the Shade Room’ interview,Raven weighed in on the networks unofficial Hall of Fame, sharing who she thinks truly deserves a spot in Disney Mount Rushmore.
Fans have long debated which former Disney stars belong on the ultimate list, with names like Hilary Duff, Zendaya, Keke Palmer, Shia LaBeouf, and Raven herself all thrown into the mix. But when asked to name her personal top four, Raven kept it real. I would say me, Hilary, Shia, she said, before surprising host Thembi Mawema with her fourth pick.
No, not Miley, Raven clarified when Miley Cyrus name came up, noting that she wanted to refer to stars who were on the platform closer to her era. Instead, she honored the late Lee Thompson Young, star of ‘The Famous Jett Jackson,’explaining, He is no longer with us, but he was the first Black show Disney He definitely deserves a spot. Youngs career spanned multiple Disney projects, including ‘Johnny Tsunami,’ and later roles in ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘Akeelah and the Bee,’ before his tragic death in 2013.
Ravens own Disney legacy is legendary: she headlined 100 episodes of ‘Thats So Raven’ and reprised the role in 122 episodes of ‘Ravens Home.’ Shes also made appearances in spinoffs like ‘Cory in the House,’ ‘The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,’ and ‘Bunkd,’ starred in DCOMs like ‘The Cheetah Girls’ and the ‘Zenon’ movies, and lent her voice to ‘Kim Possible.’ Meanwhile, her fellow Rushmore picks made huge marks too: Duff dominated ‘Lizzie McGuire,’ LaBeouf became iconic as Louis Stevens in ‘Even Stevens,’ and Shia even lent his voice to an episode of ‘The Proud Family.’ With a resume like hers, if thats Ravens Mount Rushmore, you better believe were taking it seriously.
Fans have been all over X, reacting nonstop to Ravens Disney Mount Rushmore picks. Many say its HER Mount Rushmore, so she can choose whoever she wants, while others point out that shes honestly honoring the OGs, so its nothing personal. Either way, the thread is full of nostalgia, with everyone missing their favorite childhood shows and reminiscing about the good old Disney days.
