Pixel Perfect is a Disney Channel Original Movie, released in both the United States and United Kingdom in 2004. It stars Ricky Ullman as Roscoe, Leah Pipes as Sam(antha), Spencer Redford as Loretta Modern, Porsha Coleman as Rachel, and Tania Gunadi as Cindy. Neal Shusterman wrote the screenplay.The story starts with Sam, Rachel and Cindy's band, the Zettabytes, auditioning for a gig at the Earsplitter. Halfway through their song, the guy in charge calls out lead vocalist Sam for just standing there while she sings, when she should be dancing to the music. She tries, but it's less than pretty and they all know it. note Cue the Moist Towelettes taking stage right after, who he seems to have no problem watching dance.Fully aware of his friends' need for a new member, Roscoe gets a bright idea. Having already created a holographic cat using his father's technology, he says "Sure, why not?" and sets to work making a holographic human by compositing data from CDs, magazines, and pictures of Sam.Flash forward to the next day, where the Zettabytes are trying to find their new singer/dancer, with hilarious results. After they've exhausted their list, Loretta waltzes in, asks them to play a song, and proceeds to demonstrate a gymnastics routine while singing. Stunned and amazed, the girls agree that she's perfect for the job. And then Sam trips through her and they learn about the whole hologram thing.As the story goes on, it explores Roscoe's relationship with his father, Loretta, and Sam, as well as Sam's relationship with Loretta, and the troubles that keep building around those things.It's available on DVD and Disney+. | |

Pygmalion Plot: Roscoe basically took his favorite parts from a bunch of models and actresses and his best friend Sam to create a perfect girl and then starts having feelings for her. True, she's not a physical object like a statue, but it fits the theme of the original Pygmalion myth. | |

| Pixel Perfect / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Loretta, by entering Sam's brain through an EEG machine, after Sam had fallen from a stage and gone into a coma. According to Roscoe, the differences between a computer and an EEG device would prevent her from exiting. Not that it stops her, obviously. | |

Armor-Piercing Question: Played with. It's a variation where said-question is more a rhetorical question for one's self. Towards the end, when Loretta and Sam are discussing the nature of the former's perfection, Loretta lets out a sobering question that allows Sam to realize how overrated perfection is: | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Subverted, partially. While the record company wants to take away the individual personalities that Loretta has and mass-produce her, the one who started out as a singer who signed away all his legal rights for success eventually come to terms with her sentience and even gives Loretta a choice of whether or not she wants to stay with them by giving her a way to escape to the internet. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Pixel Perfect / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics Holograms are projections of light. They cannot be destroyed (partially or fully) by going into a place that cannot sustain the image (i.e. outside), much like a movie on the silver screen is not destroyed if it is projected onto thin air. Holograms are merely avatars. Even if it were somehow possible to "damage" or "destroy" holograms, it would have absolutely no effect on the actual program. The data for the 3D model would remain intact; it should never be necessary to remodel anything unless you forget to save. | |
