by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Laugh_Productions,_Inc.][color:f6c7=windowtext]It's a
Laugh Productions, Inc.[/color][/url] and Michael Poryes Productions, in
association with Disney Channel Original Productions. It is filmed at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Bronson_Studios][color:f6c7=windowtext]Sunset Bronson

[b][font:f6c7=&quot]The original idea for this show was based on the [i][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_So_Raven][color:f6c7=windowtext]That's So Raven[/color][/url][/i] episode "Goin'
Hollywood", which was supposed to be the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_episode][color:f6c7=windowtext]pilot episode[/color][/url] for a sitcom called [i]Better
Days[/i], in which a child star of a popular TV show of the same name was to
try her hand at going to a normal school. The episode "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hannah_Montana_episodes#ep14][color:f6c7=windowtext]New Kid
in School[/color][/url]" has the basic premise as that aforementioned
episode. Other names considered for the title were [i]The Secret Life of Zoe
Stewart[/i] (discarded as too similar to [i][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoey_101][color:f6c7=windowtext]Zoey 101[/color][/url][/i] on [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_%28TV_channel%29][color:f6c7=windowtext]Nickelodeon[/color][/url])[sup][[i][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed][color:f6c7=windowtext]citation

Former [i][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Juniors][color:f6c7=windowtext]American Juniors[/color][/url][/i]
finalist [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_McCoy][color:f6c7=windowtext]Jordan McCoy[/color][/url] and
pop and R&B singer [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JoJo_%28singer%29][color:f6c7=windowtext]JoJo[/color][/url] (who
rejected the role)[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-4][color:f6c7=windowtext][5][/color][/url][[i][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia][color:f6c7=windowtext]dead link[/color][/url][/i]][/sup] were considered for
the role of Zoe Stewart. Miley Cyrus originally auditioned for the role of the
"best friend"[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-DVD-5][color:f6c7=windowtext][6][/color][/url][/sup] Lilly Romero, later changed to
Lilly Truscott, but they thought she would be better for the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protagonist][color:f6c7=windowtext]main character[/color][/url], so she tried out for Zoe
Stewart/Hannah Montana. Zoe Stewart was later changed to Chloe Stewart, which
was eventually changed to Miley when she got the part. The names of Hannah
Montana were changed a few times. Three of the previous names were Anna Cabana,
Samantha York, and Alexis Texas.[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]In December 2006, Disney announced plans to release Hannah
Montana products, including clothing, jewellery, apparel, and dolls, at
selected stores.[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-6][color:f6c7=windowtext][7][/color][/url][/sup] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_Along_Toys][color:f6c7=windowtext]Play Along Toys[/color][/url] released the Hannah Montana
fashion dolls, singing dolls, Miley Stewart doll, and other merchandise in
August 2007. More Hannah dolls were released in November, along with Oliver,
Lilly, and later Jake Ryan dolls. They became one of the most popular Christmas
toys in 2007.[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-7][color:f6c7=windowtext][8][/color][/url][/sup][/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]According to the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Dispatch][color:f6c7=windowtext]Daily Dispatch[/color][/url], the TV series held a global
audience of 200 million viewers in 2008. "If Miley’s viewers were a
country, they would be the fifth largest population in the world – just ahead
of Brazil."[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-8][color:f6c7=windowtext][9][/color][/url][/sup] By February 2008, the Hannah
Montana franchise had become so important that Disney convened an
"80-person, all-platform international meeting to discuss Hannah Montana's
future."[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-9][color:f6c7=windowtext][10][/color][/url][/sup] All Disney business segments
were represented at the meeting.[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]Opening sequence[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]The theme song for [i]Hannah Montana[/i] is "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_of_Both_Worlds_%28song%29][color:f6c7=windowtext]The Best
of Both Worlds[/color][/url]" written by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Gerrard][color:f6c7=windowtext]Matthew Gerrard[/color][/url] and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Nevil][color:f6c7=windowtext]Robbie Nevil[/color][/url], produced by Gerrard and
performed by Miley Cyrus (as Hannah Montana). John Carta, who also composed the
music cues to signify scene changes and commercial breaks for the first season,
composed the music for the song. The song's lyrics describe the basic premise
of the television series.[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]The full-length version of the song, which is 2 minutes, 54
seconds in length, was included on the show's soundtrack, released in October
2006. For the TV version of the theme, which lasts only 50 seconds, only the
first two stanzas and the last two were used. "Just Like You" and
"The Other Side of Me" were originally tested for the opening theme
song, before "Best of Both Worlds" was chosen as the theme.[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]The opening sequence for the first two seasons features
episode clips of each cast member when their name appears. Each cast member's name
is "wiped" on the screen in a marquee-light-style. The sequence then
switches to full-screen episode clips (most of the clips used in the Season One
version of the sequence were of the early produced episodes) with the creator's
names appearing in the second-to-last clip. The show's title logo design
appears at the beginning and end of the sequence (the latter portion on the
"concert stage" features Cyrus as her character Hannah Montana). The
only change to the sequence for season two were the replacement of episode
clips and the addition of the Disney logo above the show's title logo.[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]For season three, a new version of the opening credits was
used. It features Miley as herself and Hannah Montana in a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square][color:f6c7=windowtext]Times Square[/color][/url]-like setting. The names of the
actors and actresses and clips from the show appear in a sort-of marquee board
and it features Hannah Montana with her new wig and clothes style. The song
playing is a remixed version of "The Best of Both Worlds", that was
originally recorded for (and heard in) [i]Hannah Montana: The Movie[/i]. This
marked the first time that a Disney Channel series has completely revamped its
opening title sequence.[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]Lawsuit[/font][/b]


[b][font:f6c7=&quot]On August 23, 2007, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Sheffield][color:f6c7=windowtext]Buddy Sheffield[/color][/url] sued Disney over [i]Hannah
Montana[/i], alleging that he originally came up with the idea for [i]Hannah
Montana[/i], but was never compensated by Disney. In the lawsuit, Sheffield
claims that he pitched an idea for a TV series with the name of "Rock and
Roland" to Disney Channel in 2001 with the plot of a junior high student
who lived a secret double life as a rock star. The lawsuit claims that Disney
Channel executives at first liked the idea, but passed on the series.[sup][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Montana#cite_note-HMLawsuit-10][color:f6c7=windowtext][11][/color][/url][/sup][/font][/b]
