Hatching Pete Premieres Tomorrow!

April 23, 2009 | by Disney Dreaming

J-14 Magazine sat down with Mitchel Musso, the star of Hatching Pete to talk about the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie. Here’s what they found out.

J-14: Can you tell us about your character in Hatching Pete?
Michel: My character is Cleatus Poole. He’s kind of nerdy– just not popular. Poole is the school mascot, and he’s awful. Then the school gets a new chicken suit, and he gets allergic to the suit. He asks his friend Pete to take over for him, and Pete’s amazing. Poole gets all the fame out of it, and Pete’s still a nerd.

J-14: How do you compare to Poole?
Mitchel: I’m not like Poole at all. I never did the high school thing, so it’s cool getting to live that. I have a best friend like Poole has his best friend that he always looks up to and asks for advice.

J-14: What was it like to work with Jason Dolley?
Mitchel: He’s awesome. Jason and I make a really good team. We get along really well. We can relate.

J-14: What was your favorite scene to film?
Mitchel: My favorites are whenever it’s just Jason and I because they’re so natural and fun. Also, the scene in the workshop when they’re building the float. We have this big walking scene, and the whole scene is shot in one take. It was awesome.

J-14: What was the funniest scene to film?
Mitchel: Anything with Brian Stepanek who plays Arwin on The Suite Life. He improvs the whole time, and it’s hard to keep a straight face. He’s great.

Hatching Pete premieres tomorrow on the Disney Channel at 8/7 Central. Read more about Hatching Pete here.
