When word got out in 2002 that The Disney Channel's
Even Stevens was wrapping production, fans got upset and tried to get Disney to change their minds. The studio didn't keep the show going, as we all know by now, but they did put together a telefilm to bring the Stevens family together one more time:
The Even Stevens Movie: The Stevens Get Even. It aired in June 2003.
Buena Vista Home Entertainment has announced that this wrap-up telefilm is coming to DVD on
June 28th. Although no other episodes of the show have come out yet, they are banking on fan interest in this, and hopefully a large number of sales will encourage them to bring out DVDs with the rest of the series. Here's their synopsis of this TV movie:
Dream vacation? Dream on! Ren, Louis, and the entire Stevens family battle ferocious squirrels, angry natives ... and one another on the adventure of a lifetime. Christy Carlson Romano and Shia LaBeouf star in this hilarious movie inspired by the hit Disney Channel original series. Out of the blue, the Stevens win an all-expenses-paid trip to a secluded hideaway on the sunny isle of Mandelino. This is just what they need to get away from everyday stress. Unfortunately, their too-good-to-be-true week in paradise has actually been set up by a new "extreme reality" television series. And in a quest for blockbuster ratings, the show's unscrupulous host will try to turn the family's dream vacation into a savagely funny nightmare!
