Z-O-M-B-I-E-S is a 2018Disney Channel Original Movie. The film premiered on Disney Channel on February 16, 2018. The film stars Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim. The first teaser was released during the premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants 2.
Disney's "ZOMBIES" is a music- and dance-filled story set in the fictitious world of Seabrook, a cookie-cutter community brimming with perky conformity 50 years after a zombie apocalypse. Today, the zombies pose no threat but are required to live in Zombietown, an isolated, rundown community infused with their unique creative spirit. When zombies are finally allowed to enroll in Seabrook High School, the charming, charismatic zombie Zed, who is determined to play football, meets freshman Addison who dreams of being a cheerleader – the ultimate form of status in Seabrook. Addison takes a lot of flak for befriending Zed and his zombie friends but comes to learn that zombies and cheerleaders aren't so different after all. Zed and Addison work together to show Seabrook what they can achieve when they embrace their differences and celebrate what makes them a community.[1]

Trivia
While the residents of Seabrook considered Zombietown and its residents disturbing, Seabrook is just as equally disturbing. Ranging from the obsession with cheering, to the inability to accept anything outside the normal and the fact there's nothing but vanilla at ice cream shops.
Its very likely the reason Seabrook's football team never has any good players is because all the best athletic male students become cheerleaders instead.
The coach notes his team has been terrible non-stop, to the point he just recruits whoever tries out.
The coach clearly is very bad at his job, as he is unable to devise a proper game plan for his team.
The fact there's nothing but vanilla at the Seabrook ice cream shop is subtle joke at the metaphor use of vanilla, which refers to someone or something so bland that they are forgettable.
Zed and Eliza's tinkering with the Z-bands shows that a zombie can become more human if they turned up the soothing waves; this is what allowed Zed to pose as a human later in the film.
When Bucky sabotages the Z-bands, Eliza correctly points out how zombies are getting the blame when it was his fault they went berserk.
Why zombies were being allowed to attend human school (albeit in the fact they were being taught in the school basement) was never addressed. Both the principal and the mayor (Addison's mother) show absolute disdain for zombies, leaving it very confusing as to who set up the idea.
The film has the theme of fighting against racism.
