Release History:
1977 - Freaky Friday
If you ever wished you could switch places for a day with somebody else so they could see how hard you’ve got it, Disney’s Freaky Friday was the movie for you.
Middle-aged mom Ellen Andrews thinks her teen daughter Annabel has it too easy. Annabel thinks her Mom has the life, lounging around the house watching soaps all day. Throw in a little Friday the 13th magic and a mutual wish, and the Andrews ladies get exactly what they were hoping for – Ellen becomes Annabel and Annabel becomes Ellen.
Annabel (as Ellen) gets to run around the neighborhood playing pranks, and Ellen (as Annabel) gets to see life as a teenager in the ‘70’s, experiencing rum-raisin banana ice cream for breakfast, and brutal field hockey games. Both mother and daughter gain a newfound respect and understanding of each other as they lead the other’s life for one day.
Actors Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster were strong in the lead roles, with Harris dancing to teen pop music, and Foster being a prudish matron. The film was a huge success, and Disney ended up creating a remake for television in 1995 with Shelly Long and Gaby Hoffman. More body-switching comedies would come along as well, including Like Father, Like Son and Vice Versa.
