Groove High is a musical comedy series that first aired on Disney Channel on November 10, 2012. The series was created by Frédéric Puech and Virgile Troullot. The show has 26 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 Samantha Barks and Jonathan Bailey 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]

Animation was completed by two companies, Jetoon in China,[5] and PASI in the Philippines.[6]

All music in the show including the generique were originally written arranged and recorded by Belgian composers Eric Renwart and Marja Supponen, then sung by lead actors Jonathan Bailey and Samantha Barks.

During post-production lead actress Samantha Barks won the role of Éponine in the film version of Les Misérables.[7]
