Aaron Carter Movies
Pop music performer Aaron Carter came from a show business family as the brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. Young Carter first made waves in the early 2000s with a primarily pre-teen fan base, joining the ranks of other tween idols like Hilary Duff. He also made the rounds as an actor in the same crowd, appearing on family-friendly shows like Lizzie McGuire, 7th Heaven, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. In 2006, Carter and his siblings signed on to appear in the reality show House of Carters, revealing much of the pain and dysfunction that lingered under the surface of their lives. Reality TV was a good fit for Carter, and he signed on to appear on the competitive reality show Dancing with the Stars in 2009. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide- 2006
In yet another celebrity-fueled reality series, Nick Carter, 26-year-old lead singer of The Backstreet Boys, appeared as himself, the central figure in the chaotic and wildly dysfunctional home life of the Carter family. After the breakup of his band, an embarrassing DUI arrest, and the divorce of his parents, Nick gathered together his younger siblings and arranged for them to live under the same roof for the first time in 10 years. It was Nick's mission to establish himself as the Carters' surrogate parent and to heal long-festering family wounds, but the job was certainly was no cakewalk. "Highlights" of the eight-episode series included a fistfight between Nick and his envious 18-year-old brother Aaron Carter, the efforts by Aaron's twin sister Angel Carter to carve out a modelling career, the first steps made by 24-year-old sister Bobbie Jean "B.J." Carter towards succeeding as a master chef, the results of 20-year-old sister Leslie Carter's attempts to score as a singer-songwriter, and an excruciating tell-all session between the Carters and their family psychologist. A veritable feast for the insatiable voyeurs in the audience, House of Carters was first cablecast by the E! network on October 2, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Two siblings find themselves competing on and off the racetrack in this action-packed drama. K.C. Carlyle (Steve Howey) and his kid brother, Trip (Mike Vogel), are both racers in the rough and tumble world of supercross, a revved-up variation on motocross racing in which specially modified motorcycle negotiate specially built dirt tracks that send riders through tricky twists and turns, over rough terrain, and off high-flying jumps. Both are talented racers, but K.C. has a wilder and more reckless approach, while Trip follows a more cautious path. A more profound difference between them arises when K.C. is offered a lucrative deal to ride for a factory-sponsored team; he takes the deal, and leaves his brother behind to race on his own dime. However, when an accident takes Trip out of the running on the supercross circuit, he and K.C. set aside their differences as Trip helps coach his older brother so he can succeed in his drive to the championship. Made with the cooperation of a leading supercross race promoter, Supercross: The Movie also stars Sophia Bush and Cameron Richardson as the brothers' love interests, and Robert Carradine as a determined race coach. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Bill Cosby's gang of childhood pals evolve from standup comedy to an animated cartoon series to real life in this family-friendly comedy. Doris (Kyla Pratt) is a teenager who doesn't fit in with most of her classmates at school, has been depressed since the death of her grandfather, and is disturbed by her foster sister's willingness to remake herself in order to be popular. One of Doris' few solaces comes from watching reruns of the animated television series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and one day while watching the show she starts to cry, with a tear dropping into her remote. The tear draws big-hearted (and just plain big) Fat Albert (Kenan Thompson) from the animated universe into Doris' real world in hopes of cheering her up and helping her deal with her problems. As Fat Albert and his pals -- Rudy (Shedrack Anderson III), Bucky (Alphonso McAuley), Mushmouth (Jermaine Williams), Weird Harold (Aaron A. Frazier), Dumb Donald (Marques B. Houston), and Bill (Keith D. Robinson) -- adapt to the three-dimensional world and try to teach Doris to believe in herself, they learn that traveling back to the animated world is harder than they thought, which becomes alarming when they start to fade away. The real world also poses some new dilemmas for Fat Albert when he falls in love with Doris' foster sister, Lauri (Dania Ramirez). Bill Cosby co-authored the screenplay for Fat Albert, using his full name, William H. Cosby Jr., and collaborating with Charles Kipps; the project was begun with Forest Whitaker as director, who left midway through shooting, with Joel Zwick taking over in his place. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Coproduced by the DiC animation firm and PBS, Liberty's Kids was a half-hour historical cartoon series set during the American Revolution. The principal characters were Sarah Phillips and James Hiller, apprentices both to the multifaceted Benjamin Franklin. The fact that Sarah was loyal to the British and James was a 100-percent "Yankee Doodle" added to the cultural diversity of the series, as did the presence of James' friend Moses, a freed slave, and Henri, an eight-year-old French street urchin unofficially adopted by James and Moses. The series' real drawing card was its stellar cast of voice actors, portraying the many historical personages with whom Sarah, James, Moses, and Henri came into contact. For example, Ben Franklin was voiced by veteran newscaster Walter Cronkite (who even got to say "That's the way it is" on occasion); Michael Douglas was heard as Patrick Henry; Sylvester Stallone enacted Paul Revere; Dustin Hoffman interpreted notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold; and Arnold Schwarzenegger managed to sneak an "I'll be back" into his characterization of Baron Von Steuben. Geared for children aged seven to 12, Liberty's Kids joined the PBS daytime manifest on September 2, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
