Category:Former Disney Child Stars

The category lists actors and celebrities who got their start as (or whose only career was) a child star in films or TV shows made by Disney, or whose early (under-18) careers included works for Disney which increased their prominence as actors.

Former Disney Child Stars often suffer or suffered from Contractual Purity, especially the earliest ones like Annette Funicello; however, as of the early 21st Century this expectation has been substantially reduced, in part because of the efforts made by performers like Miley Cyrus to utterly shatter the stereotype.
