I'M Z-O-M-B-I-E-S

Ok so now we all can agree that danny isn't aging, he is just part zombie, part vampire. That's why he looks young but his hair is getting gray.

I'm finding Danny's search for self-identity very cathartic. Sure, he might not be a radio rebel, a camp rock, a princess protection program, or a zombie, but he isn't given up and neither should we

The fact that the metaphor would have been infinitely better off the zombies just never ate people and propaganda was just pushed around saying they did

Zed: I’m separated from society for being a Zombie. Addison: I’m….-sniffles- a blonde.

i think i would be racist towards the zombies

“theyre just people with green hair” “dont you eat people?” the duality of dan

18:57 Imagine your whole school is freaking out from flesh eating monsters getting out of control and then some random cheerleader just rips off her wig

For me, what truly killed any chance of this movie being good is the fact that they gave the oppressors an actual, legitimate reason to oppress the zombies.

Danny's theory of Addison being part zombie is justified, but little does he know that she's actually an alien (I'm genuinely not lying) 💀

Imagine you're a young actor who just got the lead in a Disney Original musical, just so close to being the next Zac Efron, and you open the script and read the line "who's the zombie? I'm the zombie. And this zombie's playing some ball!"

There’s a really great show called In the Flesh (that only got to run for two seasons rip) about the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse where the zombies have been “cured” but they have to have to take medication consistently or they’ll revert back to their mindless state. There’s a lot of tension from people who don’t want them back because they ate people, they have to wear contact lenses and makeup to blend in, and a lot of the zombies have ptsd from the entire experience. It’s very interesting. Also it’s not treated as a one-to-one allegory, but in the places where it’s analogous to anything it’s about being queer rather than racism. So the premise can be done. Just not like this 😅

This could be a really good psychological thriller where the zombies are conflicted about whether they’re the same as before they died, fighting to keep their loved ones from before the accident in their lives… the guilt about the things they did that they barely remember…

The fact that the cheerleaders knowingly sent the zombies into monster mode just to sabotage them is quite frankly horrifying

i love how she says "doctors cant explain it" when there are literally several reasons that someone can be born with white hair loll

I feel I need to point this out. "Anything different is bad and we hate you if you are" is beyond racism; instead, it falls into the category of FASCISM

fun fact. im a cheerleader from nova scotia canada and quite a few cheerleaders from here were in the movie to play background cheerleaders so they could actually do the skills. one of my coaches was even in it. i remember watching it for the first time and being shocked thinking oh my god is that _____? and it was.

It's actually incredible that Disney made a movie that both preaches acceptance and also justifies racism

"not only is this a bad zombie movie, it's also a terrible metaphor for racism" - Danny Gonzalez 2023

I can tell you from my daughter having a "Z-O-M-B-I-E-s" themed birthday part the songs are NOT unforgettable....I wish they were.

i am so mad that they didnt just make addison albino. she was "born" with white hair THAT IS LITERALLY ALBINISM. "doctors cant explain it" ITS JUST ALBINISM!!! they couldve gotten an albino actress as well! and we couldve explored the struggles addison faces with being albino!! but NOOOO
