BURBANK, Calif., March 17, 2006 – For the first time on DVD, Walt Disney Home Entertainment
presents <b><i>Cow Belles</b></i>, the hilarious Disney Channel Original Movie starring the singing sensations Aly &
AJ. These real-life sisters star as two rich, spoiled siblings who are forced to work on their father’s dairy
plant for the summer. While struggling with the pressures of popularity and the challenges of teenage
crushes, they work together to save the family business and learn the hard way about what’s really
important in life. This all-new and extended movie version includes a bonus behind-the-scenes
featurette, and music videos of the hot Aly & AJ hit singles “Rush” and “On The Ride.” A comical story of
shopping, friendship and teenage fun, <b><i>Cow Belles</b></i> is available for $26.99 (S.R.P.) on June 27.

<b><i>Cow Belles</b></i> stars sisters Alyson (Aly) and Amanda (AJ) Michalka, who record and perform together as
Aly & AJ. Their debut album “Into The Rush” was released in the summer of 2005, with four #1 singles
on Radio Disney, and the pair have filmed a Concert Special. Alyson stars as Keely Teslow in the
Disney Channel’s “Phil of the Future,” and Amanda’s numerous television credits include “Six Feet
Under,” “General Hospital” and “Birds of Prey.”

I thought this movie was good. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. I like the fact that the girls came to their senses when it came to money and thought of other people before them.

I am SOOO getting this DVD for the video Rush lol.

That "Raven's Makeover Madness" DVD cover looks like it was deigned by a young child.

On Paint.

I hope you get that joke.

I will be getting the Cow Belles DVD - because my kids like the movie. I don't really care one way or the other about it, but I haven't seen the whole thing all the way through, either. Just bits and parts here and there.

I agree about the Raven DVD. I might have bought this one for my step-daughter....but the cover is so darn ridiculous I don't even want to bother. It's just not professional!

[BATBfan1]

I think all the that so raven DVD covers are ugly.
They always make them look thinner than they really appear.
Don't get me wrong I am not that thin myself lol but they
take early seasons when they were thinner to do the covers.
I notice Disney does that a lot with Raven and Eddie.

OMG! I cannot believe Disney did not add the FULL Video Versions! (actually I can LOL)

This was another reason why I bought the film for the videos and we get the cheap 1:30 minutes of a video! How dare they!

[Spottedfeather]

I was looking forward to getting the dvd but if the review that Aaron posted is correct and the original ending is cut in favour of this "exclusive alternate ending", I won't be getting it. I hate it when they change movie for their dvd release, cutting out scenes, inserting others. Or they change the aspect ratio. Or they release another version later on with different extras than the first edition, making people want to buy the entire movie again just for the new/changed extras. It just doesn't make any sense. I love Aly & A.J. but since the movie's changed, I'll be skipping the dvd. I'll wait for the show to be rerun to watch it in it's real form.

[BATBfan1]

I haven't seen the movie with the new ending but the first one wasn't that great at all! It did needed an improvement, I give Disney that. I thought the movie was good for their first one Aly & AJ. I see them having a long career ahead of them, they are really talented.

[dvdjunkie]

Why are they trying to make these 'cows' stars? Personally after watching the film with my granddaughter, I was totally bored and wondered what is this crap that Disney is foisting on the girls of America.

They have no talent, and I wouldn't want my granddaughters (all four of them) to grow up like these girls. This movie will not see my DVD player again.

What has happened with Disney. Their talent pool has to have something better than this.

I totally disagree with you! They at least wear clothes and are covered up. They don't prance around half naked! They are only 17 and 15, what do you want from them?

[ChrisS]

Does somebody know the singer of the song "It's all good now" from this Movie?

[mariadny]

a lot of thanks

[blackcauldron85]

I had wanted to see this movie for a while, and I just saw it yesterday. I really, really liked it! I might buy it in the future, but it's disappointing that there's an alternate ending...I wonder how different they are.

[ChrisS]

a lot of thanks

Is that the name of the singer?
