HAILEY'S ON IT!

WARNING: This is about a recently-cancelled series. Spoilers may follow.

HAILEY’S ON IT!
(Disney Channel, Disney XD, Disney+, June 8, 2023-May 18, 2024)
 
Disney Television Animation, 37 Monkeys

 

 

 

Hailey Banks (Auli’I Caravalho) was a typical bookish 14-year-old girl whose insecurities rendered her adverse to taking risks. Unfortunately, her world was turned upside down on New Year’s when she was visited in her bedroom by a scientist from the future known as The Professor (Sarah Chalke). She told Hailey that she would be responsible for saving the world from devastating climate change, but only if she completed every item listed in the journal she wrote. Now she must conquer all of her fears and insecurities to do all the things she never thought she’d have to—including kissing her best friend, Scott Denoga (Manny Jacinto).

The Professor fills Hailey in on her future.

Hailey’s On It! was created by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton; fulfilling a goal they had since starting their careers with Disney Television Animation. The concept spawned out of the single scene of Hailey meeting The Professor. That scene was essentially what would play out in the debut episode, as well as establish the recurring gag of The Professor being recalled to the future after failing to completely deliver her message to Hailey--particularly the upcoming winning lottery numbers (in the original pilot, Hailey just didn’t pay attention to The Professor and had no idea what she had to do). The resulting series, initially titled Hailey Banks and the Apoca-list and I Will NOT Kiss Scott Federman, was designed to have grounded characters in extraordinary situations inspired by a variety of time travel movies; particularly Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. While there was a looming threat of a bleak future, they wanted the world to be bright and positive; something Hailey would want to fight for.

Group hug! Kai, Patricia, Frank, Hailey, Scott, Dwayne and Johnson.


Hailey resided in a fictional version of Oceanside, California with her family: her father Kai (originally named Kyle, voiced by Cooper Andrews), a laid back and supportive man who worked as a musician and was serious about his Polynesian culture; her mother Patricia (originally named Cynthia, voiced by Julie Bowen & Kari Wahlgren when she was younger), a hard-working and determined realtor; and her twin baby brothers Dwayne and Johnson. Dwayne and Johnson’s names, as well as Kai’s overall appearance, was inspired by wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who co-starred with Cravalho in the film Moana and later Moana 2 (the series also contained several verbal and visual references to the film). The family pet was Frank (Dee Bradley Baker), an old flamingo with bald patches and a tendency to be smelly and disgusting through no fault of his own. 

Hailey and Beta.

Additionally, the house (or, rather, Hailey's closet) was inhabited by Beta (Gary Anthony Willaims), a robotic AI smartphone from the future given to Hailey by The Professor. Beta was cantankerous and didn’t put up with any nonsense—particularly Scott’s—and loved working out to get “yoked”. He was programmed with a copy of Hailey’s list and calculated the best ones to check off next (although Hailey kept resisting his attempts to have her get kissing Scott over with). To disguise him and make him mobile, Hailey stuck him into the body of a pink teddy bear (which sometimes led to his involuntarily saying “I wuv you” when squeezed). Beta’s creation was to allow the writers a way to “organize and prioritize list items” without relying on the actual list, plus the dynamic the character could have with Hailey. They enjoyed Williams’ performance so much that Beta was upgraded from being a minor character.


Becker and Sunny watching Scott and Hailey kick it with some talented birds outside U.F. Dough.


As mentioned, Hailey’s best friend was Scott (now Denoga instead of Federman). He was outgoing and fun-loving, but also not very bright and accident prone. Along with being totally loyal to Hailey and dedicated to helping with her list, Scott loved Dingles chips (a parody of Pringles) and was often eating them in a variety of flavors. Not only had Scott grown up with Hailey, but he also lived right next door with his family: his divorced mother Sunny (Joy Osmanski), who owned and operated an alien-themed pizza place called U.F. Dough; and sister Becker (Judy Alice Lee), a tough and mischievous girl that would always go out of her way to help someone she cared about—assuming there was something in it for her. Becker actually had a small infatuation with Hailey, but quickly got over it when a series of misunderstandings led her to believe Hailey was too needy and clingy.

Hailey's horror at seeing that list item in her journal.


The journal, or “My Big List of Things I’m Totally Gonna Do”, was started by Hailey in the 1st grade and became a repository of whatever random thing that came to her mind that she swore she’d try one day (but honestly never would). As Hailey had no idea how important the journal would become, a lot of the entries range from the silly—like teaching a cat to play the piano—to the mundane, like common chores. Adding to the list didn’t seem to have much of an effect other than giving Hailey something else to do, but attempting to remove something caused a time glitch that brought about a vision of the disastrous future if Hailey failed. A special watch given to her by The Professor flashed red, yellow or green to let her know how her progress on a list item was going. The original pilot established that there were 337 list items, but the total number was not as clearly defined in the final show to allow greater freedom and flexibility as story ideas evolved. Some of the known items included:
 
#46: Win first place for World’s Cutest Pet Rock.
#48: See the northern lights.
#49: Plant a lot of trees.
#97: Grown an organic worm farm.
#98: Learn to pull a rabbit from a hat.

Chaos Bots causing, well, chaos.


However, it wasn’t only Hailey’s insecurities getting in her way. Some unseen malevolent force from the future also wanted her to fail and frequently sent back robots called Chaos Bots to help ensure just that. The Chaos Bots could assume any form and came in a variety of sizes. They had the singular drive to either prevent Hailey from completing a list item or to destroy the entire list. Fortunately, they mostly only posed a minor annoyance and proved easier to dispatch than not.

Escape room shenanigans with A.C. and Kristine.


Other characters included Kristine Sanchez (Amanda Leighton), a popular and self-absorbed fashionista with a passion for hats and became Scott’s girlfriend (the show bucked the popular girl trope by making her friendly to everyone); Kennedy (Shara Kirby), a perfectionist and Becker’s one-time rival-turned-girlfriend; Bill Board (Carlos Alazraqui), an eccentric Southern philanthropist who made his fortune in billboards and had a habit of throwing his money around foolishly; A.C. Aychvak (Josh Brenner), Hailey’s self-proclaimed rival that took every opportunity to show he’s better than her at anything since she once beat him in a game of Duck, Duck, Goose, and a stock boy at his parents’ business, Fans Plus (their last name is a play on the acronym HVAC: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning); Hailey’s classmates Thad (Nik Dodani), Jonathan (Nico Santos), Bored Murray (Eric Bauza), Genesis (Erica Lindbeck), and Lucy Morgan (Sydney Mikayla); and Becker’s friends The Saws: Chainsaw (Kyle S. More), Bonesaw (Theodore Barnes), Buzzsaw (Nik Shriner), Hacksaw, Paul (Billy Kametz) and Third Becky (More).

Hailey making a New Year's promise to get going on her list. Little did she know...


Hailey’s On It! debuted simultaneously on Disney Channel and Disney XD on June 8, 2023, becoming only the second series to do so following Kiff and the first to not premiere on a Friday night since Amphibia. It was also the final series with serialized elements to debut on Disney Channel following the October 2021 announcement that story-driven shows would be relegated to streaming service Disney+ in favor of more episodic fare on the networks. The debut episode was added to Disney+ the following day along with the next four episodes. Episodes continued to be added to the service in batches following or preceding their airing on the networks.  The original pilot, which starred Ashly Burch and Adam McArthur in the main roles, took about 3 years to complete while each additional episode took about a year. On June 15th, 2022, Disney Branded Television revealed the series was given an order for 10 more episodes, increasing the first season from 20 to 30. Production on the season wrapped in April of 2024. 


Hailey going for her varsity letter in cheerleading.

The series was written by Bunje and Stanton with Lindsey Reckis, Yolie Cortez, Marty Donovan, Kevin Yee, Karen Graci, Alison Wong, James Alexander and Mary Gulino. Graci served as story editor. Characters were designed by Timothy Moen with Soyeon Yoo, Lina Schlotter, Christina Faulkner, Serapio Calm, Ricky De Los Angeles, Layron DeJarnette, Mark Deloyd Ingram, Mike Maglio, Ivan Mendoza, Jacob Perez, Jose Zelaya, and Claire Nero. Animation duties were handled by Rough Draft Korea and Saerom Animation. Matthew Tishler and Andrew Underberg served as the series’ songwriters and composers, and Cravalho performed the series’ theme, “The Future’s in My Hands”. The song, visualized in the intro, ran through some of the list items Hailey would have to do to accomplish her mission. A recurring gag would see Hailey shut her bedroom window on Scott when she got to the item about kissing him, and his resulting fall would be followed by a different (often silly) sound effect. Bunje and Stanton found they shared sensibilities with Tishler and Underberg, and the presence of music was greatly expanded in the series; especially when Cravalho was cast, giving Hailey a hidden talent for singing to make use of her abilities. The series utilized a blend of genres, including K-pop, pop-rock, electronic dance and musical theater.

Along with the primary series, the characters from Hailey’s took part in a variety of Disney Channel shorts that aired during commercial breaks; including Theme Song Takeover, Broken Karaoke, and Chibi Tiny Tales, as well as appearances in episodes of Chibiverse. Updates related to the series were added to the DisneyNOW games Bubble Burst, a bubble-popping color matching game, and Color Splash, which was a virtual coloring book featuring images from various Disney properties, until the DisneyNOW app was shut down in September 2024 and the games were delisted from the website in November 2024. Following the series premiere, Walt Disney Records released a virtual soundtrack containing 6 songs featured on the show performed by Cravalho, Onestar and Wade O. Brown. A plush doll of Beta was given out to members of the crew. Coupled with positive reviews, Hailey’s won “Outstanding Kids & Family Programming or Film – Animated” at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards.

Beta already regretting this road trip.


The final episode aired on May 18th, 2024, followed in August by five shorts starring Hailey, Scott and Beta on Disney Channel’s official YouTube channel as the second entry in their Road Trip series, following Big City Greens. However, there was no news about a second season renewal. Suspicions arose that the series may have been cancelled by Disney when Carvalho updated her Spotify profile with the line “She also provided the voice of Hailey for the short-lived Disney animated series Hailey’s on It!” earlier in the year (since altered again), and staffers had taken to Twitter to encourage fans to stream the show on Disney+ while admitting they hadn’t gotten a second season order yet. Since Disney+’s launch, crew on Disney projects have candidly stated that renewals have relied heavily on viewership on the streamer rather than the networks; a similar problem that plagued The Ghost and Molly McGee when news of its own cancellation came months prior.

Is this...the end?


The series was ultimately pulled from Disney+ globally on September 27th, along with live-action sitcoms Pretty Freekin Scary and Saturdays. Any episodes available on DisneyNOW followed on October 1st. TV Line would officially announce the show’s cancellation the next day. Hailey’s became the first Disney Channel animated series to end after 1 season since The Buzz on Maggie, and the first for Disney TVA since Billey Dilley’s Super Duper Subterranean Summer. It’s also their first animated series to end on a cliffhanger. Unlike other series removed for tax write-off purposes in recent years, as of this writing Hailey’s was still available to purchase for online viewing, and select episodes and clips remain on Disney Channel’s YouTube.

HALLOWEEN EPISODES & SPECIALS (2024)


Over the years, many programs have chosen to celebrate Halloween in some form or other. Here, we present to you a collection of the Halloween-themed episodes or specials related to Saturday morning programs. Now, while some of the shows could be considered Halloween-like 24/7, we're looking at the particularly scary episodes or the ones where Halloween is clearly present. 

We're taking some liberties with specials that were made after the production of a particular show wrapped, but maintained enough of the same cast and crew to really be considered part of the same program. We won't be looking at the various Scooby-Doo direct-to-video movies as they are a franchise all their own with no particular connections to any one show. A special exception was made for Garfield's Halloween Adventure because we feel that one doesn't get nearly enough love.

Did we get them all? Probably not. But we think we have a nice offering to fill your plastic Halloween pail that will hold you over to at least Christmas. Or sooner, if you really want to risk the upset tummy.

What are your favorite Halloween specials and episodes? Let us know in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter @SatMForever.
