A hyper active preteen girl with powers and an responsible male friend in JR high....Now don't that just sound a bit familiar? It's likely that this pilot was turned down was it's strong similarities to Star VS the forces of evil which could make this seem like a rip-off and due to the fact that that show is owned by Disney which is a strong company to fight if they threatened legal-action. But through the ages their have been many Franchises that have either shared core ideas or had strong similarities to other properties: Bugs life and Antz, Pokémon and Digimon, Star wars and star trek the list goes on and on. Though those types of things aren't as common as they used to be out side of the monstrosities that are they Straight to DVD Mock-busters. Now this pilot is far from those Mock-busters and is not a rip off, it just happens to have similarities to Star but it's not a rip off at all. For starters the designs of the characters and settings are different from the art they use for star, Reggie's power can only be used at party island, and where Stars power's come from magic spells Reggie is mentioned to have omnipotent like power on her island. Star's moral is to accept responsibility while still being true to yourself 12 forever's moral is has to do with growing up. And the fact that it seems to be going for a less plot heavy focus show is also a big difference. It said that this is a failed pilot but in reality there is a chance that it with be picked, and I sure do hope so.
