Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I decided to update you Chameleons on the Lizzie McGuire Reboot & Love Simon: TV Series. I came across this idea for the blog when I want to check when Hilary Duff's movie What Goes Up came out for a new Top 5 Thursday idea for March 5th and saw saw articles about Love Simon and Lizzie McGuire. I couldn't sit by and not talk about my 2 favourites, Hilary Duff & Nick Robinson (He is narrating Love Simon: The Series). So let's talk about this.
First, let's talk about Lizzie McGuire.
Hilary Duff announced back in August that a Lizzie McGuire Reboot is coming and in the works for Disney+ for 2020. It was going to follow Lizzie in her 30th, newly engaged, working her dream job, and living in New York. All we knew about the cat is that the original mom, dad, Matt, and Gordo was back. We were still waiting for Miranda to come back. Then the creator of the show, Terri Minsky stepped down from The Lizzie McGuire Reboot after filming 2 episodes.
Now, on the Love Simon: The Series.
Back in April of 2019 I heard of Twitter that Love Simon: The Series was going to be an Original Disney+ show. I went off. I still don't like this. After I heard that Nick Robinson (the Original Simon) was going to be the narrator of the show, I thought it was worth checking out. On February 25, 2020 Becky Alberttalli (author of Love Simon & Leah On The Off Beat) updated us about the show. The show is now going to be on Hulu and it's now called, Love Victor. Good thing is, Nick Robinson is still the narrator. The show, Love Victor is going to follow Vitor's story.
A month after we heard about Terri stepping down from Lizzie McGuire and after Becky Alberttalli's post about the Love Simon: TV Series update, Hilary Duff, herself screen shotted the Love Simon: TV Series article and circled the title and wrote "Sounds familiar"

Now there is an update saying that the Lizzie McGuire Reboot might not happen, cause it's not "Family-Friendly" just like Love Victor. But yet, They decide to bring Love Victor to Hulu and give Lizzie the boot. I'm sorry, but everyone loves Lizzie more.
I'm sorry, that's how I feel cause I hate this remake about this Love Simon Series and I don't mind spin-offs (or reboots).
I honestly thought Disney expanded their horizon when they cast Joshua Rush as the first "Gay" character on Andi Mack, witch was on DISNEY CHANNEL. I think introducing a gay character was good for them, and to show kids these days that love is love. Cause honesty there is nothing wrong same sex love. Ok, I know, this is not about Andi Mack. I am just stating a point here
I am to the conclusion that Disney Channel might not be for us anymore. But what is wrong by turning on DisneyPlus and watching Winnie the Pooh?? Just me on Winnie the Pooh? Speaking of Winnie the Pooh, they are having an exhibit at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) threw March 7th to August 3rd about Winnie the Pooh. Ok, back on topic. The point is. We love Lizzie McGuire and grew up with her. We even grew up and became a huge fan of Hilary Duff. Please give us what we want. Not a childish 30 year old Lizie, but if you have to put the reboot on Netflix. So we can all enjoy her 15 years later after Lizzie McGuire was in Middle School at the start of the 2000's. Also think about this, is life really childish at 30's like on Disney? Not really.
All we want is the Lizzie McGuire reboot and leave Love Simon alone. Ok, the ending was just me, but it's the truth. We all want Lizzie McGuire.
