Disney just had to give the big moment to the boy. In the movie, Stargirl arranges for Leo to sing in front of the school instead. Then Hillari slaps her and Stargirl leaves, never to be seen again. The school dance is totally different.Īt the end of the book, Stargirl leads the school in “The Bunny Hop” (random). You can’t get anything past me, movie! I see your tricks. In the movie, she makes that decision in the middle of the speech competition.which I guess is more dramatic because she can put that realization into her speech. Stargirl puts a bizarrely academic effort into becoming popular in order to get back into everyone’s good graces but decides it isn’t worth it when she wins the speech competition and, still, nobody cares. Maybe she’s a little jealous of Stargirl’s individuality too. Hillari does hate Stargirl, but it’s because she thinks she’s being weird just for attention and therefore fake. In the book, the boy whose bike Stargirl returns is not Hillari’s brother and it’s not that big of a deal. The movie combines Hillari’s distrust of Stargirl with one of her good deeds. Dale Robinette // Disney The bike incident is less intense in the book.
