![]() The new ones are very “high school sports team” and pretty basic. Q: Anyone else find their old uniforms to be way cuter than the new ones?Ī: The old uniforms have so much more style and pizzaz than the new ones.

But these kids are just plain rude and disrespectful to their teachers. I was once it high school and I know kids are mean. I’m also not here for DC (Marvel fan all the way), but that’s a story for another blog post.Ī: I know, I know.

This is a subtle reference, but those who grew up watching Ferrera in Gotta Kick It Up! certainly appreciated this little Easter egg as it also signifies her growth as an actress as well as her inspiring characters throughout the years.Starring: America Ferrera, Camille Guaty & Susan Egan The girls in the film also kept on repeating a simple yet motivational chant, which is “Sí se puede!”, translating to “Yes I can!” - which, fun fact, was actually cutely referenced in Barbie by the end of the film, specifically by Gloria’s (Ferrera) husband who is played by Ferrera’s real husband, Ryan Piers Williams.

The teacher recruits some girls for the team, one of whom is a lively girl named Yoli (Ferrera), Daisy’s best friend.
