Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie will be available on Disney DVD 16 December 2009, with a never-before-seen extended scene and exclusive bonus features. Starring Disney tween sensation Selena Gomez, this all-new, extended edition feature film is based on the Emmy-award winning Disney Channel Original series, Wizards of Waverly Place (#1 in its timeslot on both Disney Channel and free to air).
It’s wizards as you’ve never seen them before in this holiday season’s must-own magical family comedy. Alex Russo (played by Selena Gomez) is the hippest and most hilarious young wizard in training. When her parents (played by Maria Canals-Barrera and David DeLuise) take the magical Russo family on an unwanted vacation to the Caribbean, an accidental spell turns the family holiday into a thrilling journey through the jungle when a resentful Alex wishes her parents never met. A spell is unwittingly cast, reversing her parents’ fateful first meeting and putting their family’s very existence in jeopardy!
To undo this magical mishap, Alex and her equally magical older brother Justin, played by David Henrie (of That’s So Raven and How I Met Your Mother fame), begin a quest through the jungle to find the ‘stone of dreams’ – their only hope of reversing the spell. Will the magical duo be able to find the stone and save the family’s existence?
