An AI Channel Disney Mount Rushmore Has People Losing Their Minds Over One Actor Being Included, And The One Who Should Be In Their Place
Complex sent the internet into a frenzy as they paid homage to the women who helped shape a lot of our childhoods.
On Thursday, the popular entertainment media company shared an AI image of a Disney Channel Mount Rushmore featuring some of the most notable child stars to come from the network — including Raven-Symoné, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Zendaya.

Is this the Disney Channel Mount Rushmore? 👀

Before reading the caption, I noticed the image first, and I can't even lie, I thought the first sculpture was supposed to be UK actor Cush Jumbo from CBS's The Good Fight and Netflix's Stay Close. Tell me I'm not the only one who sees it?
But I quickly realized her being there wouldn't make sense after seeing who else was featured, and immediately figured it must be queen Raven, resembling what she looks like today instead of her likeness on the Disney Channel way back when.
Each woman chosen has undoubtedly made a major impact on Disney Channel, and has continued to leave their mark on pop culture. At the time, Raven was the youngest Black woman to have a show named after her, with That's So Raven (2003)...
...Miley went on world tours inspired by her Hannah Montana (2006) character...
...Selena had several spinoffs from her magical show Wizards of Waverly Place (2007)...
...and Zendaya's Shake It Up released three dance soundtracks.
But despite their collective influence, some fans felt like one Disney alum was missing and should be swapped out with one of the chosen women. Tons of responses voiced their that Hilary Duff should've been added to the Disney Channel Mount Rushmore.
Hilary starred on Lizzie McGuire (2001), along with Disney Channel Original Movies like Cadet Kelly.
Christy Carlson Romano of Even Stevens and Kim Possible even entered the chat to voice her opinion:
Let the record show that actors like Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody), Kyla Pratt (The Proud Family), and Demi Lovato (Sonny with a Chance) also received shoutouts.
