But she's got a huge secret: She s also the glamorous pop-star Hannah Montana, who s living the celebrity dream with awesome concerts, limos and a huge closet full of the latest styles. Y'all won t believe the hilarious things she does to keep her double identity a secret. It all works out, though, because this girl totally rocks!
Description of Hannah Montana: The Complete First Season:
Hannah Montana is one of Disney Channel's hottest tween series and now all 26 first-season episodes are together in one four-disc set that's sure to be watched again and again. The season begins with Miley's first few weeks in Malibu and the story of how friends Lilly and Oliver learn of her secret identity as Hannah Montana. Who could forget Cody Linley as the zombie-slayer and the That's so Suite Life of Hannah Montana episode that begins with a stay at the Tipton hotel and ends with Robbie Ray restarting his career and leaving Roxy watching over Jackson and Miley? Other first-season events include an American Idol spoof in which Amber's lack of singing talent is exposed, a disturbing visit from Hannah's deranged cousin Luanne, and Miley's inadvisable crush on the Hannah Montana-hating 9th grader Josh. Throughout the season, Miley struggles to keep her alter-identity a secret, juggle the demands of her dual life, have a meaningful relationship with a boy, and somehow coexist with her brother Jackson while constantly growing and learning about the importance of friendship, being yourself, and doing what's right. Guest stars abound in this first season and include Dolly Parton, Corbin Bleu, Cody Linley, and Ashley Tisdale. Bonus features include a 7-minute walk through the Cyrus family farm with Miley and Robbie Ray and the first episode of the 2008 Disney Channel Games. The "Hannah's Highlights" feature is simply an indication of Hannah's favorite episode from each disc. Hannah Montana: The Complete First Season is the perfect gift for Hannah Montana fans, but be forewarned: watching all 26 episodes back-to-back leads to calling your Grandma "Mamaw" and waxing on about how "Being a teenager is harder than walking through a balloon shop with a porcupine purse."

Hannah Montana: The Complete First Season Reviews:
cute 14 yr old takes world by storm 
2009-11-12 - I think I am a little old to be in this target audience, but I enjoyed the shows. Acting is clearly lower level, no emmy here, but the shows were fun to watch and very entertaining. Nice to watch something that was not full of sex and violence and still make one feel good.
Great gift at great price! 
2009-11-09 - I purchased for my daughters birthday. We don't have cable or satellite, so this was a perfect way to watch one of her favorite shows that she is only able to see when visiting others who do have cable! :) Her 14 month old sister even enjoys watching it with her!
GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES...
2009-10-08 - Disney gets it right, again! Great box set and very good price. If you never had the chance to see the first season or you just want to enjoy all the great episodes over again...with out the commercial interruptions, I highly recommend this. Can't wait for the release of season 2 & 3 on DVD.
Best TV series to be produced in a long time
2009-10-03 - I saw the promo for this show before it first premiered on the Disney channel.
As a kid, being a rock star was one of my fantasies. That was not unusual in itself I don't think. The thing in my case was that I wanted to be a "secret" rock star living a double life. So, I had to check out this show when it first aired.
Naturally, the show was aimed at younger kids. But I fell in love with the show during the first episode, "Lilly Do You Want to know a Secret." I think this is one of the best TV series to be produced in a long time. I bought the first season the day it was released on DVD and I am looking forward to season 2, 3 and 4 when they are released.
It's great to be able to watch the shows on demand or in series the way they were created. This is the perfect gift for any Hannah Montana fan!
I especially like the special features included in the DVD set.
They have an episode of the Disney Channel Games 2008. It features a performance of Breakout by Miley Cyrus at the Disney Channel Games Stadium.
In "Back Home Again with Miley," Miley and her dad, Billy Ray take us for a tour of the family farm where she grew up back home in Nashville, Tennessee.
Do You Remember the Time? 
2009-09-26 - My sister is into this crap, I understand not why. Whatever happened to the old days of Disney magic and animated classics made by talented artists and supported by flawless, timeless music? Even the Disney films of the 90's were great [i.e. Hunchback of Notre Dame]. Interestingly enough, parents had a stick up their behind because Hunchback was a complex, darker film. Specifically, the 'rents had an issue with the main antagonist, Claude Frollo, because he hinted at desiring Esmeralda.
That movie, at least, had class. It had dignity, good music/voice acting and amazing animation! That movie is what ultimately led me to read the original work by Victor Hugo. This was old Disney--made to inspire and delight its young viewers by providing children's versions of literary classics by renowned authors such as Victor Hugo, JM Barrie, the brothers Grimm, among others.
The films may take artistic license and Hunchback may have been a bit too much for younger children, however, at least it was of good quality and rich in content. It was an intelligent film.
This modern Disney Channel crap, custom made to lure children into a world of consumerism, has taken over our lives. This Hannah Montana crap is NOT Disney--it is among the Devil's most sinister productions. HM is neither entertaining nor educating. It is devilish witchcraft of the sort which can only be concocted by an evil, swollen leech called greed. Greed cares not for quality nor education--it cares for the green paper which fuels its very existence. It hoards our hard-earned dollars with dark passion and spits this unspeakable garbage upon our faces. It is a crooked trade from the beginning.
Aside from the greedy corporate aspects of HM, there is the unavoidable sexual messages sent forth by that little strumpet Miley Cyrus. I have yet to forget Vanity Fair and the incident with the pole dancing.
She hides under the mask of innocence like the Devil hides within his guises! It is that! It is trickery at best, devilry at worst. It is that which shall be the undoing of this world. The parents rant and rave when an animated villain makes a slight suggestion in a thoughtful film, yet say nothing when this inbred hillbilly slut is trying to sell sex to our kids by dancing with poles in horridly skimpy outfits.
Hannah Montana, along with all the other waste which can be found on the Disney Channel, is a disgrace to Walt Disney and everything he strove to make. I wouldn't be surprised if he was rolling in his grave as we speak.
The Disney Channel killed Disney. I only pray that this, in a good few years, when Miley is pregnant or disgraced [probably both] will go away like that annoying Zoey 101, never to be spoken of again.
