Poor Raven Symone and Hilary Duff. No one said being a Disney Channel star was easy, but we didn’t think it was this soul-sucking. In newly uncovered behind-the-scenes footage, some of your favorite Disney Channel stars are filming that classic bumper where they draw the Disney Channel logo with a wand. It looks straight up painful to film. We never really gave the adverts much thought, but from the looks of it, each one took many painful, soul-shattering hours to complete.
If you don’t remember the glory days of the Disney Channel, when That’s So Raven and Lizzie McGuire reigned supreme, let us remind you that almost every single actor had to film one of these painful bumpers. They looked so seamless in real life, but boy has the magic been shattered.
Raven’s face is the real-life version of the “This Is Fine” meme.

All in all, this has to be the moment some of the child actors decided they were done with show-business.
