Hot on the high-kicking heels of Disney's High School Musical and Hannah Montana, among the new titles available this week on DVD and Blu-ray is the teen musical romp Disney's Camp Rock. This 2008 Disney Channel original movie -- given the "Extended Rock Star Edition" treatment for home video -- is lightweight and more than a bit formulaic. Nonetheless, for solid family viewing it's got enough fun, fantastic young talents, and music to the kids jammin' with a smile for weeks.

Camp Rock features breakout stars the Jonas Brothers, familiar to fans of Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus and her live tours. Also here are appealing newcomers Demi Lovato, Meaghan Jette Martin, Maria Canals Barrera, and Alyson Stoner leading the young cast in this tale of a talented yet unsure teen girl who yearns to share her songs with the world. A tempestuous young superstar has lost his passion for music and is sent packing by his band mates. Together, at a special camp where celebrity singers coach aspiring young music artists, they learn to believe in themselves and to value the freedom to be who they really want to be.

Both the DVD and Blu-ray editions contain these bonus features.
