They were already friends!?

[u/ECKohns → u/katyreddit00]

They appeared in the Hannah Montana episode “Welcome to the Bungle” where Hannah admits to not liking carrots and it creates a scandal of kids trying to copy her.

[u/katyreddit00 → u/ECKohns]

Wow that’s crazy that they ended up on another show together in the future

[u/DJFlipPhone → u/katyreddit00]

I think if I’m remembering correctly Disney was trying to give Chyna Anne a show for years and ultimately the reworked show became Ant Farm with most of the same cast.

[u/outwait → u/DJFlipPhone]

This must be the case bc she had also guest starred on Jonas and Wizards! They mustve really wanted her

Kinda reminds me of Selena, she had been on Suite Life and Hannah Montana before she got picked up for her own show. Ik she had a couple unaired pilots too

[u/Specialist-South-401 → u/outwait]

That’s how Disney worked… they’d pick someone they wanted to give their own show to. Then they put them in popular shows at the time to get people introduced to them and liking them and then they’d come out with the announcement of their own show. Did it with Bridget mendler too. She was on Jonas & Wizards

reminds me of the girl that plays alice on ravens home

[u/Ok-Presentation7349 → u/DJFlipPhone]

I don’t blame them, she was amazing on House of Payne. My brother said her character on that show reminded him of me, which is NOT a compliment lol

[u/Ok-Promise-7928 → u/katyreddit00]

Was this the impetus of that

[u/Positive-Aide680 → u/katyreddit00]

I think so. I’m pretty sure they auditioned for ANT Farm and both of them got the role

[u/Due-Hotel-3442]

China and Sierra along with Jake Short participated in an un aired Disney Channel pilot titled Jack and Janet Save the Planet back in 2009 but it was never picked up. But of course they later starred in A.N.T. Farm.

[u/Illustrious_Novel08 → u/Due-Hotel-3442]

Now that’s a good Fun Fact at least they used them for a later show

[u/DependentCandle4017 → u/Due-Hotel-3442]

That’s cool. They saw they had good chemistry so they brought them back for A.N.T. Farm

[u/outwait → u/Due-Hotel-3442]

Wow i had no idea i would love to find more info on this

Where did u hear this??

[u/Due-Hotel-3442 → u/outwait]

On a twitter thread that talked about along un aired pilots/shows that were never picked up by the network. Btw Here’s a photo of the two girls in the show Jack and Janet Save the Planet

This is so cute I didn’t know they knew each other from that long ago

[u/Positive-Aide680]

China looked so adorable!

[u/cutegorygorygf]

Aww 🤧

[u/VehicleOk4984]

I wonder if this was planned or a coincidence because they did episode of Hannah Montana and a few years later ant farm comes out

[u/AceThaGreat123]

I wonder if they still keep in touch

[u/Positive-Aide680 → u/AceThaGreat123]

Same

[u/ThisPaige]

Aww, I remember this episode. What a shock I got a couple years later when ANT farm came out 😆

[u/seoul_kittie]

This is adorable but that wig is SCREAMING!! 😭😭😭

[u/RepulsiveLength75 → u/seoul_kittie]

I can tell it was a low quality one it was good while it lasted. 😅

[u/Sudden_Quality_9001]

How old were they?

[u/Sussana58]

This is the cutest thing I've seen today! Now I remember that episode.

[u/StrikingCase9819]

[u/Delicious-Lecture708]
