Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Becoming’ On Disney+, A LeBron James-Produced Docuseries Where Star Athletes And Entertainers Go Back To Their Childhoods
Becoming is a series of short documentaries (not to be confused with the Michelle Obama book and film of the same name) about various sports and entertainment figures, all of whom go back to their hometowns and talk about what their formative years taught them about their current careers. LeBron James and Maverick Carter are the executive producers of this series (Bill Simmons is also an EP), and the series is made by ESPN Films, among other production companies.
Opening Shot: A shot of Ashley Tisdale, who we hear in voice over saying, “I always felt very confident as a young kid.”
The Gist: Since Disney didn’t have the first episode available for the press, and our choices were Rob Gronkowski, WNBA superstar Candace Parker, and Ashley Tisdale, so we picked Tisdale (other episodes profile Adam Devine, Anthony Davis, Cobie Cailait, Nick Kroll, Caleb McLaughlin, Julianne Hough and Nick Cannon). For one: Jersey Strong! And for two: Her turns on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and the immensely popular Disney Channel film High School Musical pretty much launched the 35-year-old’s career.
