When the movie first aired on Friday, Aug. 2, Disney Channel included a tribute to Boyce. The young actor passed away before the third movie in the franchise premiered.
“From a young age, Cameron Boyce dreamed of sharing his extraordinary artistic talents with the world. As a young man, he was fueled by a strong desire to make a difference in peoples’ lives through his humanitarian work. He was an incredibly talented performer, a remarkably caring and thoughtful person and, above all else, he was a loving and dedicated son, brother, grandson and friend,” Disney Channel said in a statement after his passing.
