The reason Troy’s eyes look so blue is because, it’s meant to be a blue sky the entire time they’re at the resort, but it was cloudy the whole time they were filming, so they had to raise up all of the blue tones in the movie so that’s why everything blue is like insanely vibrant.

Fun fact: A few years ago Kenny Ortega confirmed that Ryan was gay & would be openly out in college because Ryan's story was meant to mirror his own closeted school experience. He also said he wanted to make it more explicit but Disney is Disney, so he "downplayed" it but hoped it was obvious enough to the audience, and it was. Nice to get the confirmation though :)

Zac Efron didn't really sing in the first movie, he said he had to "fight" to have his voice being used in HSM 2.

The songs already written for Troy didn't fit Zac's vocal range. I am surprised he had to fight for a chance to sing in HSM2, you would think writing songs for the person you already have cast would be a no brainer.

[@justlive2809]

i heard it was bc his voice was to high ( teenage years)

[@BillyVell]

Ryan and Sharpay's conflict and the resolution here makes sense though. Ryan has been working just as hard for the show as her, they have always done it together, and she just throws him to the side for Troy. If it was him doing that to her she would never just accept it either. When she recognizes her mistakes she makes up by giving him the trophy - which is also actually deserved as he did make Troy and Gabriella's performance.

[@MastarNinja]

It's funny how much your vision of a movie can drastically change when you become an adult. I remember hating that manager guy as a kid. Rewatching it a few years ago, I almost felt bad for the guy. He was just trying to do his job without being fired by Sharpay. Same goes for Troy's friend who I used to side with until I realized their whole drama was because he was thinking about his future instead of goofing around with them at work.

[@egranger2128]

I’d like to point out that Gabriella never told him to not follow his dream. It just wasn’t her scene. She didn’t feel comfortable at that job and it’s on to want to get out of that uncomfortable situation and the fact that it was obvious that Sharpay was manipulating him. The song Garbiella was singing to Troy was literally about her going her own way and him doing his own thing. It’s ok for Troy to follow his dream and she didn’t wanna bring him down. She shouldn’t be forced in a toxic work environment.

[@EL-ksvkv]

This!! Gabriella was literally so chill until THAT moment when sharpay didn’t want them to perform even though HER OWN BROTHER worked hard directing that performance. Them performing will not mess with Sharpay’s own performance but she was so selfish she could just throw Ryan under the bus to get close to a man (who is already in a relationship!!)

Yes, I agree that Troy’s friends are selfish and should’ve leave him alone. But I felt sad for Gabriella, She just want him to stop making promises that he can’t make. And everyone said that she’s a villain in this movie just because she didn’t let Troy focused on his future. She was also upset on how Sharpay just ruined her friend show. If I was her, I would’ve been upset too.

[@moonbow7590]

maybe not a villain, but it’s pretty hypocritical considering that Gabriella was focused on her future in the third movie, and then left her classmates to do the musical without her (a lead role) despite the fact no one wanted to do it in the first place before she persuaded everyone. And she let herself into the lead role whilst knowing she got early admission and acceptance into Stanford and couldn’t stay for the musical. She couldn’t even wait for her HS graduation, nor did she suggest someone else take the lead role before she was cast. I know that everything turned out fine, but how is it okay for her to do all that in HSM3, but Troy in HSM2 was seen as the bad guy for lesser things? Also, since when did Troy owe Gabriella his full attention? Was he not allowed to be independent from her, as she surely is from him?

She didn’t even tell him about her early admission, whereas Troy was upfront with her in HSM2 about his college worries and Gabriella was dismissive about it.

So fun fact, Zac was dubbed by Drew Seeley not because they didn't think Zac couldn't sing, but because Drew was going to play Troy originally. I don't know the full details, but I do know that Troy needed to be recast late into the production of the movie. They had already recorded the majority of the songs using Drew's voice. Zac stepped in knowing that there wasn't enough budget to re-record the music. So instead, Zac was dubbed. That's why a lot of the live performances from the cast, including their tour, featured Drew Seeley instead of Zac Efron. Zac did have some background in singing prior to HSM and it did help him land the role. Still, it's undeniable Drew had a much more experienced voice.

It made it worst I think too because Sharpay gave him those opportunities, he didn’t have to earn those things. Although, he had to run with the opportunity once he got it.

I'm guessing teen beach 2 is next, then hsm 3 then sharpay's fabulous adventures. And then, please react to clouds (the movie)! Also, on disney+ and I guarantee you that you'll like it, regardless of the plot or the songs

Ohh Clouds from the song? That really talented boy who died of cancer? His documentary is so beautiful.

[@bre_meraz]

My sister and I looked it up. Hairspray came out before this movie. And you can really see Zac's talent

[@shenazoetemelk]

If you listen very carefully you hear Zac and Vanessa (Troy and Gabriella) in every song if you know their voice. If they all sing together you hear them above the others✌️

[@danielblair9535]

Could say the same about Sharpay

[@Gabitolin2]

Hannah, of course you are going to rewatch HSM3 now, but you should react to Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel singing their final version of "what i've been looking for" many years after filming the movie. Love your channel!!!

[@MoviesAreMyThing]

Also - I’ve literally never found Troy to be attractive myself, but if there were EVER a time they were going to do a live action Barbie and Ken movie, Zac Efron circa 2006/07 was the time.

[@alexandrialopez6696]

When they made the first HSM the producers thought Zac’s voice was too high for the role and that’s why they had Drew Seeley sing. And then he fought hard and landed Hairspray as Link and had to dye his hair black, that is why when he re-dyed his hair to brown for HSM 2 there weren’t anymore highlights. And then when the producers saw that he could hold his own singing they let him sing in HSM 2 and 3.

[@jordanbester7699]

I don’t care what anyone says you definitely are bringing new information into my life!! I NEVER noticed the dubbing. My brother and I had this movie on dvd and watched it religiously as kids and I never noticed anything of this stuff that you bring up!!

[@veryshia]

Can't wait for your reaction on HSM 3!! To me, it has the best song and the cast's singing improved a lot and they sound amazing there. HSM 3 is on a league of its own to me

[@tay0720]

"zac efron must have worked. his. booty. off." he also did the hairspray movie around the same time as hsm2--which, btw, you should def react to that--so, yes. he most definitely worked his butt off lol!

[@hellfireclub3934]

Your commentary makes these movies better! Also, if you wanna react to more glee episodes, I have a few suggestions: Throwdown, Theatricality, Britney/Brittany, Grilled Cheesus, The Sue Sylvester Shuffle, Born this way, Rumours, Saturday night glee-ver and Dance with somebody are good episodes song-wise and are just some of the best ones.

[@kmerispe]

hannah making fun of the T necklace while she's wearing an H one is so unnecessarily funny to me HAHAHAHAHA

What’s so funny to me is Sharpay raising both her arms at the end like she’s holding Troy’s hand 😂😂😂

[@debralazarus1809]

Lucas is hilarious he’s so literal and I love it

[@cw9897]

I'd love to have you watch the Sister Act films. While there is some dubbing in the first film, the sequel has tons of talent.

[@nathancreek6086]

This one definitely has the best Troy/Gabriella breakup song, that last chorus with Troy singing the countermelody goes off so hard

[@biologynerd3]

Oh my goodness I actually CRIED laughing at Troy frolicking with the flowers. Hysterical!

[@laffytaffycookie]

Who in the editing team turned up the saturation to 100% because I’m pretty sure Gabriella’s dress was supposed to be like a pink and also troy’s baseball shirt literally blinded me with how red it was

@@louf.111no it's on the soundtrack too! and theres ones hannah either missed or weren't in the movie track, most egregious being: "it's living in all of us, and it's (brought us here) because" with the parenthesis being where they inserted the other singer

[@QueenOfLaughter]

I agreed that I also miss Zack's high lights, but eyes pretty blue eyes thoooo! The way Troy walked into the pool with his hands upwards, just reminded me either of dolls or sim character, lol. Honestly, I didn't know about the double voice until you pointed it out. I didn't even notice the up and down look from Chad on Ryan before you pointed it out!!

[@karaslade7438]

We watched the high school musical trilogy during school this year for rewards. When Troy and Gabriella kissed at the end of this one, I had 18 4th graders cheering and saying “finally!”

[@gbnas]

This movie definitely had me in a choke hold as a kid- I remember watching this movie way after my bedtime just OBSESSED. These songs are so good 😭

[@EmmaThw]

"I Don't Dance" still has the most UST of any Disney song in the history of Disney, and they're not even a couple. Ridiculous. Love that song though!

[@ewilliams4410]

I think their break up is more about Gabriella not feeling like a priority in Troy's life anymore which is true, he had stopped prioritizing her for different reasons and there is nothing wrong with him taking opportunities but I can understand that Gabriella feels sidelined. I also agree that his teammates were being ridiculous but that's high school: all big feelings and short sightedness and not the best logic lol.

[@jeydino]

It’s okay to have new priorities, I think her main problem was Troy making promises and then not keeping them

[@laurarowen6053]

The plot to High School Musical 2 definitely has some problems. But it has so many iconic moments that it remains my favorite HSM movie: Bet On It, Fabulous, I Don't Dance, etc. Also, if you are taking suggestions, I suggest the song "Top of my School" by Katherine Lynn-Rose.

[@sjkitty]

as a child i thought fulton was being mean and unreasonable but as an adult, he was actually super accommodating for all the students and their jobs

[@viennahwang2194]

If you wanted to hear more amazing vocals from Ashley Tisdale, I suggest watching the musical episode of Phineas and Ferb. Her song " You're Going Down" is truly a masterpiece and one of my favorite songs. Or just anything from Phineas and Ferb. The entire cast is weirdly good at singing.

[@jamesvalkyrie7469]

My favorite song from this movie has got to be "Gotta go my own way". That song was the one that literally made me want to be Gabriella as a kid and I loved singing it. Funny thing is, the first time I heard this sing was a different version of it. It was from a music video, with a different person singing it who was not Vanessa Hudgens. I remember the girl having a more soulful voice and there was a scene where she was walking in the rain. If anyone can help me recall this because it has literally been 13-14 years since I saw this, then thank you. Edit: Nvm. Just found it. It's a cover by a lady named Nikki Gil.

[@Ana_Paula.Frasson]

Hannah, after Ryan trickying Sharpay in the end: "that's so mean". Me: yeah, it's what she did to others throughout the whole movie, isn't Karma a crazy thing? It's why she gave him the prize, cause she used him and trashed him the whole time, while he was on her side, her own brother, that when she felt the way she made him feel before, she realized he deserved the credit she was denying him all this time.

[@tjohns25]

Yes, thank you. Ryan does have a great voice. Lucas Grabeel = the super underappreciated, most-talented performer in these movies ❤️❤️

[@rachelestep]

Before high school musical 2 zac efron was in the film version of hairspray were he played link and for that role he worked with a voice coach and then coming back the high school musical he surprised Kenny Ortega with the tenors voice and from then on it he sing in this and high school musical 3.

[@racheldentbrunet]

My favourite bts fact is Vanessa Hudgens can’t swim (or at least is not a confident swimmer) so they used doubles in the most random spots… or she’s clinging onto Zac 😂

[@ainsleyharker2134]

Funny story: When I was little, whenever I would watch this movie, I would bawl my eyes out during "Gotta Go My Own Way." Every. Single. Time. I could not make it through the movie without crying. It just made me so sad.

[@mutantdrumsticks]

I remember when I first saw this movie when it came out I was like "Troy's a bad guy. This jerk doesn't care about this friends." But when I re-watched them earlier this year, I was like "What's everybody's problem? Leave my boy Troy alone. He didn't do anything." I guess its cause I'm older and not a kid, but its wild how the whole plot is basically his friends being childish and angry because change is happening and they don't like it.

[@fidelianerina]

I think its more of how he treated his friends. Why get them this job if you're gonna abandon it? Granted Sharpay was the mastermind. She got him the golfing job, she got her dad to get him in contact with the school for the scholarship, etc. However, he let it all get to his head, he cared more about the scholarship then his friends. I think people had a right to be upset. If Troy kept focusing on the scholarship I feel like eventually his own team would just get tired of it. I would think senior year would have gone a lot differently with their games if they couldn't trust Troy.

[@eboniz]

@@fidelianerina you should care about a scholarship more than your friends, everyone knows when u get to a certain age you start to prioritise yourself in order to provide for your future. and nothing was stopping them from doing the same.
