Groove High is a British musical comedy television series that premiered on Disney Channel on 10 November 2012. The series was created by Frédéric Puech and Virgile Troullot. The show has 27 episodes in the first season and is a mixture of live action and animation.^[1]

Premise[]

Groove High is a live action/animated comedy series following a group of talented kids that attend a quirky school for performing arts. The show uses both live action and animation. Each show begins in live action whereby Tom and Zoe (played by Jonathan Bailey and Samantha Barks in the English-language version) are two rock superstars touring with their band. Between shows they like to remember the good old days at their high school Groove High. As they remember key events the show presents their memories as animated flashbacks. Often their memories are slightly distorted or exaggerated and Tom and Zoe's live action counterparts frequently interrupt the flashbacks to disagree about how it really happened.

Production[]

Groove High is a co-production between French animation companies Planet Nemo and Nexus Factory and Irish production company Telegael.^[2] Voice recording work for the animated sections began in April 2010, with live action filming completed at Telegael Productions^[3] in Ireland, October 2011.^[4]
