While celebrities like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Raven-Symoné, Jenna Ortega, Jonas Brothers, Zendaya and many, many more appeared in the clip, fans noticed someone in particular who was missing. Demi Lovato, who was a staple on the Disney Channel in the late 2000s through TV shows like Sonny With a Chance and the Camp Rock films, was absent from the wand ID compilation.
While Disney Channel hasn’t revealed why Lovato was left out of the 40-year anniversary celebration clip, the “29” singer has been outspoken about some of their difficult experiences growing up in the DC bubble, which they called “Disney High.”
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Lovato began directing their very first feature film, which will stream on Hulu sometime in 2024. Along with Nicola Marsh, the pop star will co-direct Child Star, a Hulu Original documentary film that promises to “deconstruct the highs and lows of growing up in the spotlight through the lens of some of the world’s most famous former child stars,” according to a release.
“There is no better film or topic for my directorial debut than this story, which is close to home,” the Disney Channel alum said in a statement. “Our project sheds light on important messages about growing up in the public eye, learning to protect our boundaries, and becoming active advocates of our own destinies. I’m humbled to be able to learn from the individuals who have lived the unique experience of child stardom and share their stories in our film.”
Billboard has reached out Disney Channel for comment on the wand ID compilation. See below for some fan reactions to the alleged snub.

Selena Gomez took a sentimental walk down memory lane on Monday (Feb. 27) as a guest on the Wizards of Waverly Place rewatch podcast.
Invited by her former co-stars Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise, the star called in to Wizards of Waverly Pod from New York City to reminisce about her time on the hit Disney Channel series that propelled her to stardom. “I can’t begin to tell you guys without making it such a little cry session, I felt like I was the happiest I’d been in my whole life,” she said of her years as Alex Russo. “And I don’t want that to be a sad thought because I’m really grateful and happy. But it was definitely the happiest times for me, and I recognize that obviously I have this different attention on me that I just didn’t have then and that was a really pure time.”
And speaking of her stratospheric, post-Disney fame, just last week Gomez earned the distinction of becoming the most-followed woman on Instagram with 382 million followers. But even overtaking Kylie Jenner, who previously held the title, came with its own whirlwind of drama after fans thought the Kylie Cosmetics mogul was subtly shading the “Rare” singer in a post. (For the record, she wasn’t, and both parties promise they’re all good.)
However, between that headache and an online dust-up caused by defending her bestie Taylor Swift over a resurfaced clip of Hailey Bieber, Gomez decided late last week to take a much-needed break from social media altogether. “This is a little silly. And I’m 30, I’m too old for this,” she declared before promising her hundreds of millions of followers she’d be back online “sooner than later.”

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur premiered this week, and Diamond White gave Billboard News all the tea on the musical series in a new interview.
“Raphael Saadiq is executive producing all the music,” The X Factor alum and voice of Lunella Lafayette told Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly. “And if he’s in control of it, you know all the songs are gonna be good. You know how back in the day when The Proud Family had Beyoncé and her doing the theme song? It gives me that vibes. It’s that caliber of good.” (Technically, The Proud Family theme was performed by Queen Bey’s younger sister Solange with backup from Destiny’s Child during the show’s original run on Disney Channel from 2001 to 2005.)
Meanwhile, Alfre Woodard, who co-stars in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur as the titular superhero’s grandmother Mimi, promised that the series will feature a diverse soundtrack of “reggae, reggaeton, rap, classical, old-school funk, everything.”
Later, White also shared the message that she wants fans to take away from the latest addition to the Marvel world: “That one girl can make a difference. ‘You can’t be what you can’t see,’ as Laurence Fishburne said, so it’s nice that there’s a character showing a Black girl with a big brain.”
Also starring the voice talents of Fishburne, Fred Tatasciore, Sasheer Zamata, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Michael Cimino, Indya Moore, Craig Robinson and more, Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is currently airing weekly episodes on Disney Channel and Disney+.
