Disney has quite the eye for finding young talent and molding their boys and girls into stars, but kids don’t stay young forever. Every Disney star — from ’90s Mouseketeers Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, to recent stars like JoBros and Miley Cyrus — has to grow up and toss aside the mouse ears.
In fact, Disney Channel’s most recent generation of series stars are just beginning to tiptoe out of the mouse house. As Selena Gomez (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) and Demi Lovato (“Sonny with a Chance”) creep up the charts with more adult sounds, and Joe Jonas prepares for his solo debut this fall (following in the footsteps of younger bro Nick and his “Administration”), we took a look at Mickey’s kids through the years in our then and now photo gallery.
