2016 Then & Now Photos:

The Freeform Network (formerly the ABC Family Channel) recently brought back a lot of memories by airing the The Lizzie McGuire Movie which originally aired in 2003. The movie follows young Lizzie McGuire (played by Hillary Duff) who just recently graduated from middle school and is joining her classmates on a school summer trip to Italy. It’s been 13 years since that movie, so just where are the cast members now? We did some digging and found out about all your favorites.
