speak of magical sounds and the disney channel. . .
So we get that “Hannah Montana” is a magical and rhyme-y but did you know that the name of actress who plays her, (daughter of Billy Ray) is credited as “Miley” (and even called that in the show) even though the name on her birth certificate is “Destiny Hope”? Why does this matter, you ask? Because it is not just a stage name, Billy Ray has been calling her “Miley” ever since she was little because she was so smiley as a child . . .hum . . .I mean, that doesn’t even make sense. Is it perhaps an unconscious dad thing? My dad had a stupid nickname for me too just because he liked the way it sounded.
Also, the disney channel has another hit show right now called “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” which is about two twins who live in a hotel. More of that sound association.
Also, there is another disney cartoon called “Shorty McShorts’, Shorts” which is about a cartoon character named “Shorty McShorts” who wears shorts and presents other “shorts” as in short cartoons.
And don’t even get me started on the magical sounding disney cartoon “Kim Possible” with the character”Ron Stoppable”
and I love the disney channel.

Erin, you are so right about the disney channel. It’s perfect for this class becuase it’s for children who haven’t wholly abandoned the imaginary for the symbolic yet.
