What unites eight short films of about 30 minutes each, eight different stories starring the very young? The adventure. The beating heart of these episodes are the adventures that these guys face, giving us the opportunity to enter their world and observe it with their eyes. As you will read in our review, Just Beyond wants to be just that, a way to experience the adventures – and misadventures – of some young people who still struggle to deal with the dangers that the world hides at every corner. Disney + has chosen a super young cast as the protagonist of the eight short films in Just Beyond, taken from comics by Robert Lawrence Stine, better known as RL Stine and most famous for bringing the horror-adventure genre of children’s novels to our generation.
If this name is in the least familiar to you, you are not wrong at all, because we know RL Stine especially for having written the very famous novels of the series. Little shivers, but the writer and executive producer, winner of the 2016 award Audie Award for Young Listeners, brings with him a myriad of novels, comics and TV series with his signature, including the sagas: Fear Street, Space Cadets, Give Yourself Goosebumps, The Nightmare Room, Eye Candy. In short, an endless list of stories that can keep us in suspense! The series debut on the Disney streaming platform is scheduled for 13 October 2021, as the director of the first episodes we find Marc Webb, known for directing The Amazing Spider-man, and to follow, Anna Mastro and David Katzenberg, the latter producer of the reboot The Killer Doll of 2019
Teen cast and awesome storylines
The first episode opens immediately showing us the dessert Mckenna Grace as the rebel Veronica, young and with great charisma. Her strong character, however, leads her to have small problems at school, to the point that the principal decides to suspend her permanently, so Veronica’s parents offer her to move to an expensive boarding school for particularly difficult girls; in the end, the young woman finally decides to please her parents, although she is not particularly convinced of the idea. Once she arrives, however, Veronica will immediately realize that something is wrong with this boarding school, especially her classmates, who have “strange behaviors”, thus deciding to investigate the structure to reveal its mystery.
The protagonists of the second episode are Gabriel Bateman and Arjun Athalye, respectively in the role of Jack and Ronald, two best friends since childhood, but who will find themselves more united than ever when they find their parents intent on some strange ritual. They will thus try to reveal the nature of their parents, discovering what they would never have expected.
The third episode has the little witch as its protagonist Fiona (Rachel Marsh), in a world where magic is known to all but practiced by few. That’s why Fiona hides her powers, for fear of not being accepted, especially by her schoolmates. Her life changes when her friend Luna (Jy Prishkulnik), also a novice young witch, she moves to the same institute as her. Fiona explains to her witch friend that it is better to hide their true nature so that they have no problems integrating, but Luna will ignore her advice, showing her the importance of being yourself.
Megan Stott plays the role of the young, responsible and reckless Olivia, main character of the fourth short film. What happens when you find yourself alone in the house at night and hear the floor creak? That’s what Olivia asks herself every night, under the warm blankets of her bed. Reckless, she will follow the sound of those footsteps until she discovers that behind the creaking of the floor there is nothing but a new and extravagant friend.
The fifth episode sees as the protagonist Lily (Izabela Vidovic), brilliant student of the academic decathlon club. Thinking she’s not beautiful enough, Lily decides to follow her teacher’s advice Ms. Fausse (Christine Ko), or download an application that allows you to change your aesthetic appearance. But Ms. Fausse does not reveal to Lily that this app changes not only the exterior, but also the personality. So the girl, realizing that she is on the verge of losing her identity, chooses to rebel against this application and take back her life.
The protagonist of the sixth episode is the very young girl Lexi Underwood in the role of She. During a school trip to a museum full of antiquities, Ella separates herself from her class by falling asleep on a sofa in the building. When the girl wakes up and realizes that she has been forgotten there by her teacher, she will start looking for a way back home, but all the exits have been locked. He will discover that when the doors of the museum close, the ghosts come back to life inside. Along with these ghosts of yesteryear, Ella will have to find ways to appease an evil spirit.
In the seventh short film we find Cyrus Arnold in the role of Trevor, gigantic big boy son of a big shot of the city where he lives. As a good bully, Trevor torments and subjugates not only his entire school, including teachers and principal, but the entire town. The arrival of a new student in the institute will change the cards a lot, however, the new boy is “fresh meat” in the eyes of Trevor. As usual, Trevor bullies the boy, but things will take a strange turn when the newcomer’s grandmother inflicts a terrible curse on him.
To close this series of episodes will be Sam (Cedric Joe) with his journey to parallel worlds, particularly the world where his father is still alive. On a rainy day, young Sam hides in his beloved tree house built with his father who died many years ago; his desire to see him again combined with a strong bolt of lightning allow him to travel into space, arriving unconsciously in a parallel world. He manages to meet his best friend, his mother and even his father who still lives in this reality, the only flaw is that no one knows him, or rather, the relationships he has with them in his world are different from the one in which he is. find now. Sam’s goal will be to be able to convince his loved ones to help him get back into his reality.
Many genres and many curiosities
As we well expected, RL Stine bases his stories on a multitude of genres and nuances that have been able to present themselves in a convincing way, with intriguing stories and a direction attentive to every detail, even if some episodes tend to lose a bit of rhythm. In the first and second episodes we find a strong reference to sci-fi and to science fiction, where we encounter strange futuristic machineries and aliens from other planets. In the third episode, however, we have a strong contamination Fantasy; in the fourth thehorror reigns supreme and Izabela Vidovic in the fifth short film he still transports us to sci-fi with a slight hint of thriller, as well as the last three episodes shine with pure genre fantastic; all then obviously mixed in the big style cauldron teen. Like every fairytale, even in Just Beyond we find a strong moral, or rather, many strong morals, since each episode has its own.
The social issues that have been used for the construction of the stories, many characters with the problems of today’s young people are interesting: bullying, identity crisis, bad relationship with parents and many others. In particular, the fifth episode speaks of a great social denunciation that not only envelops the very young but also adults, the “fake” realities of social networks and everything that involves the distortion of reality. Even in the episode in which we find Megan Stott as the protagonist, there is talk of a great fear that afflicts most of the world population: the fear of the different. That is why we are shown a poltergeist who exudes anguish, fear and ugliness. But as our Olivia shows us, even behind what “seems” ugly to us, we find someone looking for company.
