Amazon.comThe Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds live concert was a sold-out sensation everywhere it played, and this concert video is the next best thing to being there for all the fans that couldn't get tickets to attend the concert in person. The movie opens with Miley Cyrus backstage in make-up and hair, warming up with vocal exercises, then cuts to Hannah Montana (her alter ego)'s performance of "Rock Star," and then back in time to four weeks before her performance when concert rehearsals were just beginning. It runs like a backstage special feature for a while, following Hannah Montana through coaching, choreography scenes with Kenny Ortega, and rehearsal sessions. Then it's back to concert footage from opening night in St. Louis and all along the tour, seasoned here and there with some fun looks at the concerts' special effects, quick costume changes, other logistical challenges (Hannah gets dropped during a routine early in the tour), and lots of shotsof the enthusiastic, mostly female 'tween audiences. The 3D format gives the audience a nice sense of being there and includes some effective, if somewhat overused shots of the crowd waving, Hannah/Miley reaching out to the audience, and fun stunts like the drummer's twirling stick thrown high in the air and the guitar player's pick being tossed out into the audience. The sound is adequate, but fails to replicate the live concert experience (the plus side is that the audience's ears won't be ringing for hours after the performance). Hannah Montana's performance includes "Rock Star," "Life's What You Make It," "Just Like You," "Nobody's Perfect," and "We Got the Party." The Jonas Brothers perform "When You Look Me In the Eyes" and "Year 3000," and then Miley hits the stage with "Start All Over," "I Got Nerve," "I Miss You" (which Miley wrote in honor of her Granddad's passing), "Going Away," "GNO: Girl's Night Out," and "The Best of Both Worlds." This 3D concert presentation truly is the "best of both worlds," a 3D concert experience with easy availability and minimal expense. Better yet is the message that girls can do anything they want if they put their minds and hearts to it. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
REVIEW
Quality Entertainment & talent, this Miley Cyrus! Believe me, I'm no tween! ...an older family man, former entertainer. I know music and talent. Miley Cyrus is pure talent...her voice, personality, stage presence. She has it all. The creators of this DVD have given this young performer a perfect production on DVD. Camera cuts timed just right to keep the excitement going; yet each shot held long enough so you're not cheated. Miley has earned her STAR title, and this DVD has a mix of quality entertainment and even behind-the-scenes action that makes it a favorite of mine. Totally unexpected to be this good, but, hey, I'll take it, and highly recommend you consider the same.

REVIEW
So Cute! My 3 daughters are avid Hannah Montana fans, actually that might be an understatement! My oldest got this one recently for a b-day and it's pretty cool. The doll itself is very pretty and has fashionable clothing on, very Hannah Montana-ish! There are 3 sayings this doll has when you push her stomach....first one says "Once again Hannah Montana has made the world a better place", second says, "Oh sweet nibblets!" and the last one sings "True Friend" which is one of my daugthers favorite songs. And there's a seperate switch under the armpit area that allows you to play a longer version of the "True Friend" song. My daughter's collecting them all and this one is a nice addition and well made. What girl between 6-12 wouldn't love this doll??

In the Pop Tour mode your challenge is to move your way through major cities while adding additional songs to your play list.

In Free Play mode you can choose from any of the songs you have unlocked in the Pop Tour mode and play to your heart's content. You can also compete with a friend in the Head-to-Head mode, where you each take turns rocking out to any of the songs unlocked in the Pop Tour mode. To get started, simply have an adult insert four AA batteries into the guitar game controller and hook up the controller to a television with the AV cables provided. Once you've got the main menu up on your screen, you can choose the Tutorial option to learn how to play notes, strum a chord, play held notes and use the Crowd Meter. After you've become familiar with thee guitar game controller, you're ready to rock! The Gallery provides a place for you to view all of the awards you've won during play.

Hanna Montana Video game Guitar This toy was purchased for my Granddaughters Birthday. The whole family says that it is a very great and very fun toy, since it interacts with the televison. It is easy to use and very durable. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't think that it would stand up to a family of seven.

Includes Hannah doll in authentic outfits from T.V. show, Hannah Montana, microphone, poster and backstage pass. Requires 4 "AG13" button-cell batteries, included. Measures 13" tall.
REVIEW
FUN with HANNAH! My 6yo dd loves playing with this doll. She loves wearing the bracelet that came with it. My only complaint would be the back of her head is lacking hair...but that didn't make a difference with my little girl. She loves it. The doll sings very loud, which was surprising, but at least it's only a small portion of the song. I imagine that we will be collecting ALL the Hannah dolls now...
Hannah Montana accessories My granddaughters love Hannah Montana and I purchased this one to see if it met my standards for toys for them. The wig is adjustable but the sunglasses have glitter too far down around the lenses and it can irritate the granddaughter who I got it for has pierced ears but my other three don't so I'm going to have to purchase clipons for them and dispose of the other peirced earrings but I will be buying 3 more in different colors in the near future.
This Hannah Montana Light-Up Fashion Studio is perfect for girls to express themselves by creating their very own Hannah Montana fashion designs. Includes 10 Hannah Montana fashion design sheets, 10 tracing sheets, 12 colored pencils, one graphite pencil, two Hannah Montana sparkle sheets and one glitter glue. Measures 12.63"L x 11.25"W x 2.13"H.
Great for the Hanna Montana Fan I purchased this for my 7 year old niece for Christmas and was able to be with her when she opened it. This gift was a huge hit! It reminds me of the pink Barbie carry closet/wardrobe that I had as a little girl, but it is quite a bit more sophisticated w/ the addition of a bed and directors chair. It's a great place for her to store her Hannah clothes and accessories and will provide tons of play time fun.
Amazon.com Since debuting as the Disney Channel’s highest rated premiere, Hannah Montana has won over fans with a mix of playful antics, fresh looks, and chart-topping music. The story centers on young Miley Stewart (a girl-next-door type fans can relate to) who just happens to lead the secret life of pop star Hannah Montana (something fans can aspire to). This miniature pop stage lets you rock on and rock out, with working lights and sounds.
Measuring 28" W x 19" H, the playset has plenty of room for a singing Hannah doll (sold separately) to perform. The fully-equipped stage provides five different light shows, two stage sets (one pink and one blue), rotating video screens and doors, a doll stand when Hannah is stationary, and a pull system that lets you control her dance moves when it’s time to groove. The stage plays two of Hannah’s hit songs -- "Best of Both Worlds" and "Who Said" -- but Play Along knows that girls cannot live on two songs alone. So there is also a port that lets you plug in an MP3 player so that you can hear any of your favorite songs come through the set andpretend that Hannah is performing them just for you. Or that you’re on stage performing in the spotlight next to her!
The stage has two sets, plays two of Hannah’s songs, and has a port to plug an MP3 player into.
Additional doll-sized accessories that complete the experience include a guitar, microphone, back stage pass, headset, and roses to present to Hannah after her successful show. Four AA batteries are included, but you’ll have to supply your own doll and MP3 player.
REVIEW
No Concert Tonight After putting it together, we discovered the stage does not light up. No amount of troubleshooting will fix it. What a disappointment for a 7 year old for Christmas.
Chill out at Hannah's beach haven. It features 6 different rooms (bedroom, kitchen, living room, closet, upstairs balcony and porch) plus over 75 super cool accessories. You'll spy tons of furniture pieces from theshow like Hannah's leg table or the swing where she writes her hit songs. There's even stickers that you can use to decorate her house. Measures 26.75"W x 40.7"H. Dolls sold separately.
REVIEW
Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House is a HIT! My niece's birthday is in early November so she asked for the Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House back then. Since I am always trying to win the coveted title of Favorite Uncle (I am her only Uncle), I got her the this dollhouse at the top of list. My sister says it has been her absolute favorite toy since. My niece turned seven and absolutely loves Hannah Montana. She plays with the dollhouse everyday, which my sister is glad for b/c it makes preparing dinner a whole lot easier.
Although the House is large, my sister says it transports around the house easily b/c it folds up and has a handle. The Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House has been moved around the house quite a bit and has withstood the action with no damage.
< >
I haven't seen her playing with it yet so I can't wait for the holidays when I go back home. Now I just have to figure out what to get her to stay at the top of the favorite Uncle list.
