Plot
Hatching Pete is about a boy named Pete Ivey (Jason Dolley) who is very shy. He has a best friend Cleatus Poole (Mitchel Musso) who is very outgoing and is the school mascot. The movie begins when Pete is going to a basketball game rehearsal to ask Poole's sister, Cammie (Madison Riley), out. His teacher doesn't know who he is, even though he is in her biology class. She eventually recognizes him and he rushes to Cammie. He attempts to ask her out, but he can't get the words out, and he finds out she has a boyfriend, the captain of the basketball team (Crawford Wilson). Defeated, Pete goes home. He displays brilliant gymnastics on a trampoline and his father tells him that to get Cammie's attention, he has to give her something to notice. On their way to the Brewster High basketball game, Poole comes over to ask Pete for a favour. He asks for Pete to wear the chicken mascot suit, because he is allergic to it. After Poole tells Pete he will get his sister on a date with Pete, he agrees. He gets to the game and immediately wants to go home. He gets to the door and is knocked over. The audience (and cheerleaders) laugh. He realises he has gotten Cammie's attention and gets more outgoing. He annoys the players on the team and the coach (Brian Stepanek) but becomes a favorite with the audience, the students and the cheerleaders. The next day, Poole is congratulated on his performance as mascot. But he is nearly beaten by the basketball team, but is saved by the coach, who will be fired if there is no mascot. During one of the lessons, Pete meets Angela Morrisey and starts crushing on her. They are both chosen for the float comittee. Angela comes up with an idea for a float for a parade coming soon. Pete starts becoming friends with her. Pete then notices that Poole is getting the perks of being the mascot, which angers him. Poole comes to see Pete and asks him what he did. Pete can't describe it, so Poole decides Pete can still be the chicken while he is hiding in the stands. This works well. Pete picks up Angela, like an impulse. Afterwards, Angela thanks Poole and is about to kiss him, but Pete stops it. Later, at the float committee, Angela is missing. Pete finds her crying. She got dumped in a text message. She tells Pete her boyfriend dry heaves alot. Pete worries that he may have dry heaved around her, which he didn't. Later, Pete performs as the chicken at a festival. Cleatus (in disguise) is pulled onto the float and his identity is revealed. Pete runs away and steals the Sheriff's car. He changes out of the suit and leaves it. Meanwhile, Poole is being questioned by the sheriff about who was really in the suit. Poole doesn't confess and is confronted by his father. His father forgives him. The sheriff decides to drop the charges to get the chicken to return. Pete does return on the final game. During a time out, the audience cheers for the chicken to remove the head. Angela runs to him and helps as he is removing the chicken head. Pete is shocked that she knows. He then kisses her, and the Brewster Roosters win their only game of the year.
Soundtrack
You could say "Disney Channel Playlist" is but not based on every song. But Disney Channel did release 9 days before its premiere the song "Let it Go" sung by Mitchel Musso & Tiffany Thornton. The song is on the new video game Disney Sing It: Pop Hits album.
