You will also meet the cast off-screen: Selena Gomez's Barney beginnings and Rare Beauty empire, David Henrie's other famous TV son role, Jake T. Austin's animated alter ego and Jennifer Stone's second career as a nurse. Everything is kid-friendly, so it works for a family movie night, a Disney Channel throwback party or a solo nostalgia run.
