Disney
Channel’s
Zenon:
Girl
of
the
21st
Century
turned
25
this
year.
The
iconic
late
‘90s
film’s
anniversary
reminded
us
about
how
badly
we
wanted
to
live
Zenon’s
intergalactic
life.
The
technological
advances,
otherworldly
fashion
and
space
talk
are
just
a
few
reasons
we
loved
this
classic
Disney
movie.
Check
out
our
favorite
facts
to
celebrate
25
years
of
Zenon
inside.
The
beloved
Disney
Channel
movie
debuted
on
Jan.
23,
1999.
It
follows
an
inquisitive
teenager
(Kirsten
Storms),
who
finds
herself
involved
with
a
suspected
dodgy
dealing
on
her
space
station
home.
This
leads
her
to
being
sent
down
to
Earth.
The
sci-fi
and
adventure
film’s
cast
includes
Storms
as
Zenon
Kar,
Raven-Symoné
as
Nebula
Wade
and
Phillip
Rhys
as
Proto
Zoa,
Microbe.
The
chances
are
if
you
were
a
Disney
Channel
kid,
Zenon:
Girl
of
the
21st
Century,
was
on
your
favorite’s
list.
Most
90’s
kids
remember
envying
Zenon
for
having
the
coolest
outer
space
life.
She
literally
lived
in
space,
wearing
the
coolest
clothes,
and
her
parents
were
scientists
whose
version
of
punishment
was
sending
Zenon
back
down
to
Earth.
They
were
living
in
a
Dystopian
community
that
we
marveled
in
as
Disney
channel
kids.
Their
world
made
more
sense,
and
they
had
technological
advances
in
the
late
‘90s,
which
we
still
haven’t
made
today.
Despite
AI
integration
and
new
gadgets
popping
up
everyday,
Zenon
and
her
friends
had
it
made.
It’s
all
so
nostalgic!

our

Their
Time

Even
though
the
movie
was
made
in
the
late
’90s,
they
somehow
still
managed
to
beat
technology
with
what
looked
like
iPads
and
FaceTime.
Disney
knew
the
future
before
we
did.

Talk

Zenon’s
space
lingo
hit
millennials
like
a
bag
of
bricks.
There
are
plenty
of
fans
still
saying
her
most
adored
phrase,
Zetus
lapetus!

The
iconic
metallics,
vibrant
pink
and
blue
fits,
feathers
and
legendary
silver
scrunchies
were
all
so
fabulous.

Zenon’s
teacher
taught
their
class
via

and
holograms
were
the
usual.
Let’s
face
it:
Zenon
was
on
her
Zoom
way
before
us.

for
a
boy
band
moment.
Remember
when:
Zenon
and
Nebula
freak
out
over
Microbe
and
their
lead
singer,
Protozoa.
Who’s
not
still
singing
“Supernova
Girl”
today?

Ate

She
was
a
real
friend,
always
calling
Zenon
out
on
the
BS.
Nebula
was
a
lovable
character
with
such
an
adventurous
spirit
and
impeccable
fashion
sense.
They
replaced
our
girl
Raven-Symoné
in
the
sequel,
but
that
Cheetah
Girl
had
other
places
to
be.

Aunt
Judy
Was
An
Inspiration

Though
her
and
Zenon
didn’t
always
see
eye
to
eye,
we
loved
Aunty
Judy.
She
had
the
cheesiest
jokes
and
ate
whatever
she
wanted,
but
most
importantly,
she
was
always
there
for
her
niece
Zenon.

Hated
Earth
But
Had
A
Roster

In
just
five
days
on
Earth,
Zenon
bagged
a
guy.
She
wasn’t
afraid
to
say
exactly
what
she
wanted.
Some
of
her
most
memorable
quotes
were,
“If
you
want
to
kiss
me
just
do
it!”
and
“Dare
to
try
again?”
IKDR,
Supernova
Girl!
