Plötzlich Star! – Eine moderne Marc Twain Story

The Prince and the Pauper: The Movie, or simply The Prince and the Pauper, is a 2007 film directed by James Quattrochi and starring Dylan and Cole Sprouse, based on the 1881 novel by Mark Twain.

The film had a 'sneak peek' showing in Temecula, California, before being released globally on DVD. It has also screened on television worldwide, mostly on the Disney Channel, because of the Sprouse Twins' association with the network (the two played the lead roles on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and The Suite Life on Deck).

The countries in which it has been shown on the Disney Channel include Australia/New Zealand, Spain/Portugal (January 17, 2009), and Disney Channel Latin America, where it aired on January 31, 2009 before a mini-marathon of The Suite Life on Deck. The film had previously had a sneak peek on Disney Channel UK, but it premiered on the channel on February 6, 2009, on the same day as The Suite Life on Deck premiere.

The production company was Oak Films.
