Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired during Disney Channel's golden era of original movies, when Emily Osment was simultaneously Hannah Montana's best friend AND carrying her own spy comedy. Peak 2009 Disney synergy.
The fictional book 'Skyrunner' within the movie was almost a real tie-in novel, but Disney scrapped it. We were robbed of expanded Merv lore.
