Michelle Trachtenberg

From the Studio that brought audiences "The Princess Diaries 2" and "Freaky Friday," Walt Disney Home Entertainment presents ICE PRINCESS, available on DVD and VHS July 19. The radiant Michelle Trachtenberg (TV’s "Buffy The Vampire Slayer;" "Eurotrip," "Inspector Gadget") stars as a brainy high-school student who discovers a passion for ice-skating, and uses her smarts and follows her heart to make her dreams come true. ICE PRINCESS will be available in both fullscreen and widescreen DVD versions. Bonus DVD materials for ICE PRINCESS include a cool alternate opening, deleted scenes, hot music videos "Reach" by Caleigh Peters and "No One" by Aly & A.J. and exclusive audio commentary.

The perfect comedy for the whole family to enjoy, ICE PRINCESS boasts a sparkling cast that includes Joan Cusack ("Raising Helen," "School of Rock"), Kim Cattrall (TV’s "Sex and the City,") Hayden Panettiere ("Raising Helen," "Racing Stripes"), and Trevor Blumas (TV’s "Jane Doe"). ICE PRINCESS also features many real-life skating champions, including celebrated world champion Michelle Kwan, who appears alongside Olympian Brian Boitano as a skating commentator. Story by Meg Cabot and Hadley Davis. Screenplay by Hadley Davis. Directed by Tim Fywell.

Brainy, awkward high-school student Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg) has never quite fit in. Casey is caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother (Joan Cusack), who has her on the fast track to Harvard. She can only watch as Gen (Hayden Panettiere), Nikki (Kirsten Olson) and Tiffany (Jocelyn Lai), three elite skating prodigies, ruthlessly compete on the U.S. Figure Skating circuit. Casey, a science whiz, studies the physics of skating, but when she gets the chance to train with the skating team’s coach (Kim Cattrall), a disgraced former skating champion who also happens to be Gen’s mom, she learns that she may have real skating ability if she trains hard.

In order to pursue her dream, she must defy the strict expectations her mother has set for her. Now, with only the support of Gen’s hunky, Zamboni-driving teenage brother (Trevor Blumas), Casey takes on the

challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."

ICE PRINCESS features a cool soundtrack with songs from Caleigh Peters, Aly & A.J., Jewel, Michelle Branch, Tina Sugandh, Raven-Symoné, Jesse McCartney, Madonna and more.
