The Disney Channel film adapted from Mark Peter Hughes’s novel about a lemonade-named band is Lemonade Mouth.
Lemonade Mouth is a 2011 Disney Channel Original Movie based on Hughes’s 2007 young-adult novel. The story follows five high-school students who meet in detention and form a band called Lemonade Mouth. Their music becomes a way to challenge school authority, express their values and cope with personal and family problems.
Patricia Riggen directed the film, which starred Bridgit Mendler, Adam Hicks, Hayley Kiyoko, Naomi Scott and Blake Michael. It premiered on April 15, 2011, and its soundtrack became a significant success, reaching number four on the Billboard 200. A sequel was discussed and briefly developed, but Disney later abandoned it because the original story was considered complete.
