For a long time, Riley felt that people treated her grandfather like a silly cartoon character. She was very happy because Austin showed the real human side of Elvis. Austin responded to her text and said it meant so much to him that the family loved his acting. Riley thinks Austin probably saved that special text message forever.

One of the best parts of the movie shows his very first big concert. In this scene, Elvis walks on stage wearing a bright pink suit. At first, the crowd does not know what to think about him. Then, Elvis starts to wiggle his legs and the girls in the audience go completely crazy. It was like watching a skinny boy turn into a superhero.
The manager in the movie watched the crowd and knew Elvis was going to be a giant star. The girls were screaming so loud because they had never seen anyone move and sing like that before. Elvis sang a song called Baby Lets Play House and completely shocked everyone in the room. It was the exact moment his life changed forever.
