The cast of Teen Beach 2 hits the stage to perform for fans at the 2015 D23 EXPO on Sunday (August 16) at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.
There’s no doubt that the ending of Teen Beach 2 was surprising.
If you watched the premiere of the movie — in which 7.5 million total viewers tuned in for — the ending saw Brady and Mack meeting for “the first time”. After getting Lela and Tanner back to their world, Lela took Mack’s advice and changed the entire movie! In the real world, that meant that Brady and Mack never met because Wet Side Story wasn’t ever made.
Fans either liked it or they didn’t, but how did the cast feel? JJJ spoke to Garrett Clayton, Chrissie Fit, John DeLuca and Kent Boyd about how they felt about the ending. Check out what they had to say:
Chrissie on social media reactions: “Someone on Twitter wrote, ‘The ending of this movie is so fantastic. It’s so feminist (in a great way) and progressive. Wow #TeenBeach2.’”
Garrett on if he would change the ending: “I actually wouldn’t change the ending! (laughs) I feel like it ended the way the second one should have.”
John on how he felt about the ending: “I really like the ending, because it’s unpredictable. It’s not what you’d expect. I think that helps set the movie apart and makes it unique and special. It’s a positive and hopeful ending.”
Kent on the ending: “I liked the ending because as far as Lela’s character you don’t have to settle you can do anything you truly desire. With Mack and Brady it shows you that true love will always find a way to each other not matter what comes in between.”
You can watch Teen Beach 2 on the WatchDisneyChannelApp NOW or on Sunday, July 5th @ 11AM ET/PT on Disney Channel!
Maia and Mollee even shared a few funny stories from the set!
“It was made by our clever costumers. They only made one and @MollsGrayy spilled black coffee on it the 1st night of Gotta Be Me,” Maia shared about her cute dress during the “Gotta Be Me” sequence.
Mollee added, “haha that is a very true story… Good thing costume department were bosses and got it out with baby wipes! LOL.”
Maia also shared another cute story. Check it out below, plus ALL of the TB2 performances!
“Teen. Beach. Puppies,” Ross B told JJJ earlier this week about just why you should watch the movie, premiering TONIGHT on Disney Channel.
He added, “There aren’t puppies in the movie, but if you like puppies, you’ll like Teen Beach 2. Even if you don’t like puppies you’ll like Teen Beach 2. But more importantly, if you like puppies, you’ll most definitely like Teen Beach 2.”
Ross Lynch pops his signature ‘boom’ pose in the middle after performing with his Teen Beach 2 cast mates on The View in New York City on Thursday (June 25).
The Teen Beach 2 star opened up to JJJ about his character and more!
“Spencer is the studious, popular guy at school who has his whole life on track,” Ross told us. “He knows what he is passionate about and isn’t afraid to pursue his dreams.”
Ross added, “I used to be like Spencer back in high school actually. I used to study a lot and liked to think I knew where I was going post graduation. Only difference I wasn’t very passionate about going to engineering school so it’s not something I was psyched about like Spencer is with his studies. It took me a couple years after high school to find out what I loved to do, and have been chasing that dream ever since.”
Ross also gave us the scoop on some on-set pranks, nicknames he and co-star Ross Lynch have for each other, and more. Check it:
Don’t forget – Teen Beach 2 premieres Friday, June 26 @ 8PM on Disney Channel!
JustJaredJr.com: What was your favorite thing about Spencer?
Ross Butler: I love how Spencer is confident in who he is and doesn’t care what people think. He likes to study and do a lot of extra curricular activities, so he does it. Period. I think the reason he is popular is because he doesn’t change who he is for the sake of being popular and people respond to that.
