Nearly all of today’s teen stars made their start with Disney. Zac Efron jump started his career and will forever be known as the kid in High School Musical. Miley Cyrus got her big break as Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel and has turned it into a force to be reckoned with. As the child stars turn into adults, there comes a time when they must break away from the company that has bred them for stardom: Disney. In a way, the split is good for Disney because as they get older, teen start tarnishing their reputations with scandals in drinking and drugs. This has created a new trend of agents, managers, and Hollywood execs keeping their eye out for the next big child stars. Former Disney child stars are transforming their kiddie show stardom into big bucks on the silver screen. While they are usually happy to break away from Disney, stars owe their fame and fortune to the Mickey Mouse franchise.
