my head-canon is that troy’s parents got a bad home loan before the 2007 housing crisis, which would’ve been happening around the time of the movie’s release. they got a fancy house they can’t actually afford, and that’s why his dad is so pushy about him getting a good scholarship

HSM 1 is the OG. It's stupid silly, but stole everyone's heart. "We're All In This Together" feels good for the soul. HSM 2 is when they got a lot more money to spend of effects and clothes, and everything is really over the top. There is nothing of substance happening and people have *NO* communication skills. "I Don't Dance" is a certified banger tho. HSM 3 is the undeservedly forgotten sibling. It actually touches on some meaningful topics and the plot makes at least some sense when compared to its predecessors. The not-so-covert sexual innuendo when discussing "...the night of nights, // you know we're gonna do it right" is a juicy gem for when you rewatch it later. And kill me if you think I'm out of line, but "Scream" is the most iconic song out of the whole trilogy. Overall 10/10, actually rewatch every couple of years.

[@DazeyDev]

As a former theater kid, it never fails to absolutely blow my mind that the whole plot of the movie leads up to the CALLBACKS… not even an actual performance.

i feel like the craziest part about this movie is that it’s the expectation that high schooler do many activities in order to look more attractive to colleges??? like… troy doing basketball and musical theater would show a college that he has the discipline to learn multiple skills that take effort to be good at and the time management skills to fit both into his schedule?? literally things that show that your a dedicated student??? the same could be said for gabirella??? like just being smart isn’t enough to get into a good college you need extracurriculars????? i know it’s not that deep but it bothers me

[@danieneit6830]

[@salvadorromero9712]

Also, as someone who grew up in the '90s when cliques and subcultures were much, much stronger and less fluid than today, even then this was not at all how it worked. These are not the Jets and Sharks. They tried to force it into a strict Romeo and Juliet framing instead of doing something more original and sophisticated. Shar-Pei acted completely disgusted when the tall, handsome jock asked her out because he was the icky Other. That is not what would happen. And indeed she would be even _less_ likely to do that than the average theater kid, because she is specifically _not_ someone with a passion for it for its own sake, but rather a queen b type who wants to be a star as a power play, for the status and self-esteem. There would be no social pressures leading her to reject him.

As a not theatre kid who stumbled into the theater department in college and became a theatre-college “kid” and now I have a career in theater (no, not acting, stage manager), I freaking love this movie at least the first one for its musical within a musical setup. Like I wasn’t a kid when this came out and my little sister is probably about your age and this came on and I was shocked how fun I found it. Like it knew the archetypes it was playing with and it just had such fun with them. And while one thing being your whole personality is….silly. It is also very teenager and wanting to just fit with a group. I also liked that the smart kids and athletes and drama club weren’t so much on a sliding popularity scale, they were just different camps of people into different things. Some of it was entirely cheesy, but in the best way. And I was an adult when this came out, okay…barely an adult but still not the target audience and I was walking around singing the songs. My saddness is that Zeke was written out after the first film 😢.

4:06 The pillars on the PS2 loading screen get bigger based on how long the playtimes of the save files on the memory card are and holy moly that's a lot of long playtimes.

Troy Bolton is a fascinating cause he was raised with the belief that "Ball is life", but then he finds out that he's actually good at other things like singing and theater and whatnot. This then leads him to have an existential crisis bc like most cis het white guys, he was raised in an environment where you are expected find one thing you do and stick with it for the rest of your life and now he has two and legit altered his entire perception of life like its so funny.

Just discovered your channel a few hours ago and I've just been bingeing ever since. Awesome content!

[@supitzsarah]

I'll never forget the premiere of high school musical 2 i had a watch party. Everyone dressed up as characters, we had cardboard cut outs of the cast, it was THE end of summer party!

[@aliceroared]

Omg same, I had a watch party for HSM2 and invited a bunch of friends over for a sleepover that night

[@nichollser]

The song i know best is we're all in this together bc when i was in 4th grade every single kid in my private k-8 school had to participate in a performance of it with choreography and everything 😭

[@barbi1858]

I remember not liking the films because everyone were obsessing over them. One day I decided to hate-watch them and surprise surprise... That made me a fan lmao

[@MovieMediaDaily]

May I just say , I love your voice it’s just sooo smooth I’ve been watching your content for a little bit now, it’s always a blast!

[@shirohanakurohana]

Gosh I love Highschool Musical. It is all so silly and cute. My favorite gif came from the second one. Troy singing and a Pizza flying into his mouth. hahaha

[@dillona1001]

omg thank you i was so devoid of content i was about to unironically indulge in watching t-pain play video games. now i can do it later ironically.

[@spencerlybbert]

Wait what I need to see that

[@goldensloth7]

you do what you need to do. i'll be here watching people mock UK reality shows from 25 years ago.

[@TheVexar]

The irony of having your dvd of Borat right next to the Bible on the shelf lmao

[@MikkiB-f9m]

Nearly cried at the way you held those DVDs. Still traumatised from them glitching bc of finger printsor scratches

[@xth6738]

At 30yo, I still really like Gabriella's sad solo and "Gotta Go My Own Way" in HSM2. I still listen to them on spotify. So dramatic considering the songs are about teenage love, but what is teenage love if not dramatic.

[@michaelaharrison2338]

In the 2nd movie, the dance, golf course scene of “Bet On It” was improvised by Zac Efron which makes it 10x more iconic

[@WellMeaning]

7:37 they’re kinda like the Lebron James of socks?

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

3:02 this whole scene is such a mood also yes please cover the whole series, this is great

[@epicbadgerking5616]

Holy crap, at 3:31 that’s “Scorpion” from Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask!! Always SO happy seeing Professor Layton music in the wild

[@fleurisnotonfire]

i got so triggered as soon as i heard it

[@sarsoups]

I was so excited when I heard it! I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed!

[@mimiisek]

You’re the cutest human being god bless you Gabi. Also Yes please for part 2 and 3!

[@bluebrie908]

10:35 this moment angered me SO much as a child

[@JDNboy12]

I mean, I also kinda forgot #3, but you HAVE to cover #2. PLEASSSEEE Fabulous will forever be ingrained in my brain as a non-ironic banger and Bet On It is unintentionally the funniest song/dance sequence disney ever made. NOT TO MENTION how Chad and Ryan swap clothes after I Don't Dance, a fact that my closet-ed pre-teen self obsessed over for an unhealthily long time...
