Josh Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Miley was the face of Disney Channel in the late 2000's and early 2010's. But who was the face of Disney of these two? Raven or Hilary
Pink Matter Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Raven. Not to say Hilary wasn't one of the faces of early Disney Channel, but she can't compete with Raven's catalog of Zenon, Kim Possible, That's So Raven, and The Cheetah Girls.
BGKC Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Lizzie Mcquire was a blur to me. Like I remember watching it, but That’s So Raven was just so much more memorable and entertaining. Hillary also doesn’t have anything as iconic as Cheetah Girls, as far as films go. She did have a better music career as a solo artist though.
satellites.™ Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Raven was so busy she couldnt even film the Thats So Raven movie, sis was BOOKED!
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Both. Hilary Duff: 2001-2004. Raven Symone: (2003) 2004-2007. They both, somewhat, overlapped in late 2003/early 2004 as “That’s So Raven” was now reaching immense popularity and “The Cheetah Girls” was a smash-hit movie, debuting with 7M viewers in its first day (the highest viewership for an original Disney movie at the time) and the DVD went on to sell 1M units in ‘03 and so did the Soundtrack. Kim Possible started to challenge “TSR” in ratings in 2005 and she was one of the main characters in that too. Meanwhile, “Lizzie McGuire (TV Show) was coming to an end but still had high ratings; the movie smashed at the U.S Box Office, debuting at #2, and her debut album debuted at #2 on the BB200 and became the 8th best selling album of ‘03. Raven continued with “TSR/The Cheetah Girls 2” in 2005/2006, the latter of which smashed in ‘06, and Hilary continued with big albums in 2004/2005 along with her successful business endeavours. The Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross of Disney. Edited May 1, 2023 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto
Breathe On Moi Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 the only correct answer is: BOTH literally they had a choke hold on all the other girls with Raven breaking out mainstream movie wise while Hilary breaking out mainstream music wise! they both brought something to Disney at their own times
BryceG Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Both but Raven was more impactful I think and the show holds up.
Frogger17 Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Raven's two shows (TSR and Kim Possible) were the first Disney shows that were so popular they were renewed for a fourth season.
Scars Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Both. Hilary felt like a much bigger Disney star than Raven back in 2003-2004, but her show ended prematurely, which hurted her star power unfortunately. Raven was the ultimate Disney Channel star in 2004-2005. I'll have to disagree with those saying Raven was the face of Disney on 2006/2007 though. During that time, High School Musical and Hannah Montana were already massive, so That's So Raven felt like a second thought on kids' consciousness, despite still being successful. It was all about Hannah Montana and The Best Of Both Worlds Tour.
lavenderblo Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Hillary felt bigger in some ways as she seemed to have more success with her album, along with the theatrical Lizzie movie, but I'd still absolutely say they were equal in that era of DC. Happy to have been able to witness it.
Aren Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 That’s So Raven was much more global than anything Hillary did.
Bears01 Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Hillary felt bigger, but That’s So Raven was the way better show. Not even close Hillary had hit mainstream movies (Cheaper by the Dozen) and music, so that’s maybe why
Papi Juancho Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Aren said: That’s So Raven was much more global than anything Hillary did. no. Hillary is the biggest star and disney celebrity
Gorjesspazze9 Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Literally both. It’s simply facts. Miley herself even stated publicly that she only wanted to make a Disney show because of Hilary. Hilary was the most successful music act from Disney until Miley. (Excluding Britney & Christina 💁♀️). and Raven was the most impactful girl on the channel alongside her. Literally had the best viewers ratings, and most reach of any star until Miley & Selena. People tend to downplay Raven, but it was way more Massive than people probably remember. Also was the blueprint for several other shows going Foward into the mid-2000’s. Even Suite Life writers took inspiration from its structure and characters. Also Cheetah Girls were selling records because of Raven being the face of the Group. Edited May 2, 2023 by Gorjesspazze9

Pretty much came here to say this. Raven RAN Disney. Multiple franchises. Also, wasn’t That’s So Raven the first show to break the usual limit on the # of seasons. ..?
