A major driver of the film's shelf life was its infectious sonic identity. The fictional Eve doll soundtrack culminated in the "Be a Star" musical number, performed by Banks during a department store fashion show sequence. Driven by high-energy dance-pop production and direct, self-empowering lyrics, the song became an instant cultural artifact for young viewers.
Television reruns across both Disney Channel and ABC Family through the mid-2000s cemented the sequence into collective memory. Banks regularly referenced the choreography on her daytime talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, bringing the dance back into circulation during viral internet flash points. The track survived long past its initial broadcast, showing up on Spotify playlists and short-form video trends decades later. This enduring audio hook ensured that the film stayed top of mind among audiences long after broadcast syndication declined.
