Many famous stars have gotten their start as a Disney kid, from Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake who started out in The Mickey Mouse Club to newer generation stars like Zendaya and Bella Thorne.
Being a child star does seem to come with its own special set of unfortunate situations, though, and Thorne says she and Zendaya were pitted against each other while filming their breakthrough show, Shake It Up.
Disney holds a special place in the heart of many, whether it be from their animated classics or from the live-action series and original movies on the Disney Channel.
