History Film / Zenon

*** TheHeart / TheChick: Lynx

%%* DefrostingTheIceQueen: Margie in the second movie.

* TheMetricSystemIsHereToStay: Zenon is from a space station, but when she arrives on Earth, she explodes a test tube because she was thinking in Celsius when all the instructions were in Fahrenheit. [[CriticalResearchFailure In a science class]].

* FutureSlang: A particularly memorable example. Cetus Lupeedus, guys! The movie is totally stellunarious! And it's full of Action Major!

* AesopAmnesia: Pat Numbar at the end of ''Z3'', who offers Zenon another chance at properly winning a contest by joining him in a new one on Mars along with her friends. Zenon's reply?:

* BiggerOnTheInside: The station.
* BritishRockstar: Proto Zoa.
* CallBack: In ''Z3'', Dasha's journal has an article detaling the military taking over the space station, which drove the plot of the previous movie.

* CassandraTruth: Zenon tries to expose the plot to destroy the space station but no one believes her until it is almost too late.

* ColorfulSong: "Supernova Girl" and "The Galaxy is Ours".
* ComputerVirus: How the villains of the first movie commit their InsuranceFraud scheme. Solved by HollywoodHacking and reverse engineering.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Parker Wyndham in the first movie; the people in charge of building the moon base in the third movie.
** VillainWithGoodPublicity

* DefrostingTheIceQueen: Margie in the second movie.

* DramaticAlienVTOL: The aliens in the second movie have a very pretty space ship.

* EnergyBeings: The aliens in the second movie, more or less.
* FirstPersonPerspective: The books are told from Zenon’s perspective.

** Not to mention an entire song whose lyrics include nothing but future slang (i.e. a bunch of unrelated scientific terms all jammed together).
*** If you listen to it, it actually does make sense, albeit in a pop song sort of way. It's not much sillier than the vague space imagery in [[Music/{{Queen}} "Don't Stop Me Now"]] or [[Music/EltonJohn "Rocket Man"]] or a million other songs from the seventies.

* FutureSpandex: Many of the characters wear spandex and other form-fitting materials.
* GirlishPigtails: Zenon wears these in the first film.

* HollywoodScience

* ScienceIsBad: The moon base in the third movie.
* ShoutOut: The aliens in the second movie initially communicating through musical tones is very much like ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind.''

* SpaceSuitsAreSCUBAGear

* TickleTorture: The force field around Protozoa's estate creates a similar sensation.

* FutureSlang: A particularly memorable example. Cetus Lapetus, guys! The movie is totally stellunarious!

A Creator/DisneyChannel movie first aired in 1999, ''Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century'' is set in 2049, where Zenon Kar ([[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Kirsten]] [[Series/GeneralHospital Storms]]) is a 13-year-old who literally gets grounded as she is forced to leave her SpaceStation home and live on Earth. The first film concerns her trying to get along with some Earth kids while taking down a plot by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Parker]] [[BigBad Wyndham]] to destroy the space station.

Although it never became a series as expected, it did spawn two sequels. ''Zenon: the Zequel'' follows Zenon as she clashes with General Hammond and his military forces who are taking over operations of the station; to make matters worse, Hammond's daughter is Margie, Zenon's AlphaBitch enemy from the first film. ''Zenon:Z3'' focuses on Zenon as she enters the Galactic Teen Supreme contest, while Sage Borealis, a Moon preservation activist, and Selena, goddess of the moon, urge her to stop contest-holder Pat Numbar from colonizing and exploiting the moon.

Not to be confused with the ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'' villain.

** General Hammond plans to have decommissioned and dismantled due to damage caused by Parker Wyndum in the previous film because he thinks it's not safe to live in anymore and to keep it from endangering the people of Earth. If someone tries to intentionally put people in danger, which causes much damage to a living space, then people like the military aren't going to think it's safe anymore, and will want people to leave said living space for their protection and other people's protection.

* RealityEnsues:
** Zenon ends up falling the first time she does anything energetic because she forgets that Earth gravity is not quite the same as her space station's artificial gravity.

* SpaceIsAnOcean: Deconstructed a bit. Zenon assumes that because she can 'swim' in space, that she knows how to swim in a pool for gym class. RealityEnsues and Greg ends up saving her life.
