Credit: ITMLindsay Lohan has had a rollercoaster of a career that started with her breakout performances in two iconic Disney remakes. This would catapult the young star into starring roles in the cinematic classic, Mean Girls (2004), then back to Disney with other notable projects like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) and Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005).
While she would eventually suffer a fall from grace over her battle with substance abuse, the redheaded starlet would eventually recover from her personal struggles. Since then, she has made a thriving reentry into acting that has excited her fanbase. Her cinematic return can delight fans even further as Disney is commemorating the 25th anniversary of The Parent Trap and the 20th anniversary of Freaky Friday with limited edition trading pins.
The Parent Trap (1998) was a remake of the 1961 Disney comedy. It was the charming retelling of a divorced American winery owner (Dennis Quaid) and his British dressmaking ex (Natasha Richardson) who split custody of their identical twin daughters (Lohan). The parents wanted to ensure a clean break so they never informed the girls that they had a doppelganger.
By sheer fate, the lovelorn mom and dad sent their daughters to an all-girls camp called Camp Camden. The two started off as rivals, but once they realized their connection, joined forces to reunite their parents. This Lindsay Lohan classic will now feature a pin with the Camp Camden logo now available to fans.
The second Lindsay Lohan Disney film, Freaky Friday (2003), is another modern reimagining of the 1976 Disney hit that featured a young Jodie Foster. This version revolved around a rebellious teenage rocker (Lohan) and her straight-laced, but loving mother (Jamie Lee Curtis) who unexpectedly switch bodies.
The remainder of the movie involved quirky, comical hijinks as the two must literally walk a mile in each other’s shoes. The experience renewed a deeper appreciation for each other and Lohan’s character gets to rock out with her band. Disney celebrates this fan-favorite remake with an limited edition pin highlighting the movie’s all-female band, Pink Slip.
These Lindsay Lohan-centric D23 exclusives are now available on shopDisney and both The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday are streaming on Disney+.
