Disney Channel “Avalon High” Recap

On November 12th the Disney Channel aired a new Original Movie, “Avalon High.” The movie is based on the book by the same title written by Meg Cabot.

The movie opens with a jousting match on the beach, but it turns out to just be a dream the main character, Allie Pennington, played by Brittany Robertson. Allie and her family have just moved and Allie will be attending Avalon High School where her parents are professors of Medieval Literature.

When Allie goes for a run she bumps into Gregg Sulkin’s character Will Wagner. Allie flashes to another day dream of herself offering a goblet of water to a Medieval Will. After she snaps to and walks away from him she turns back and he’s gone.

Will walks into school on Allie’s first day and saves his Miles (Joey Pollari) from being bullied by the character Marco, played by Devon Graye, who is actually Will’s step brother.

Will is the quarterback on the track team and he is dating Jen, (Molly C. Quinn) and his best friend is Lance (Christopher Tavarez).


All of the main characters end up in Mr. Moore’s class (Steve Valentine). They are assigned different topics about King Aurthur and his court. Allie is assigned to work with Miles, who shows up at her doorstep to work on their project that night even though it isn’t due for three weeks.

Miles and Allie are assigned the topic “The Order of the Bear” which is about how there are a group of people who are sure that the knights of Camelot will one day live again. If Aurthur isn’t found soon then some believe everyone will be sent back to the dark ages – including Allie’s mom.

Allie wakes up in the middle of the night to read about The Order, and we’re pretty sure that some weird events are going to start happening at Avalon High!

Does anyone else thing Allie (Brittany Robertson) reminds them of Bridgit Mendler, from the Disney Channel Original Series “Good Luck Charlie”?

Uh oh, Allie catches Jen and Lance getting close! This sounds to us like the love triangle between Aurthur, Genvieve and Lancelot.

Will has dinner at Allie’s house and her parents seem to love him. They all share some “friend burgers” and her parents quote King Aurthur. Will really seems to be starting to like Allie, and you can tell Allie likes him!

Yet again Allie catches Jen getting close with Lance at a party. Jen talks to Allie about how their relationship is like the one of Genvieve and Lancelot and how telling Will right now would be a bad thing because he would lose all faith in everything and everyone, just like Aurthur did in the Medieval times.

Allie is still having flashes of everything around her being similar to King Aurthur’s time and then everything flashes back to how it really is.

Will reveals to Allie that he wants to be President – now it seems she is seeing him more and more as King Aurthur. We’re just waiting for things to change over for good rather than just seeing flashes now and then from Allie’s perspective.
