these movies become existential horror REAL QUICK when you break down the rules of the universe. I'm not just talking about the "can't stop singing" stuff. their is a part of the movie where they need to wait for night in order for the party to happen and the world just cuts to night and they are wearing different clothes. this implies that the world exists in accordance to "what should happen" and when nothing is happening it just cuts to the next plot point. THIS MEANS THE UNIVERSE ADAPTS TO THEIR EXISTENCE AND PUTS THEM INTO THE PLOTLINE OR THE MOVIE WOULD HAVE CUT WHILE THEY WERE TALKING.

[@salami9488]

I don’t know if you like mangas or anything but there’s a really good one I’d recommend that goes into what you just described like the time cuts and being in a novel, it’s called How I Found It In July. You should definitely check it out and search it up

[@cbag3791]

For real, and if you think about it the fact that at the end of the first movie and throughout the second movie they're singing in the "real world" kind of implies that the rules of the movie universe seem to infect the real world with Brady, Mack, Leyla, and Tanner acting as carriers.

[@baddealdude807]

​@@cbag3791 oh yeah, my friends and I have a head canon that this is actually a sequel to the guy who didn't like musicals

[@pina_nina_fresa]

Aside from all that, the movie changing literally changes the real world and that is genuinely horrifying

[@daisymayw1]

also in the opening song of the second movie (a song implied to be apart of the 'Wet side story' universe) they reference 'can't stop singing' (which didn't exist in the original) and 'surfs up' (a song that is sung by mack and Brady in the real world) - when I say this movie hurts your brain if you think about it too much

[@Jay-Zech]

Are the Teen Beach Movies great? Yes, they are. Do they have great music? Yes, they do. Do I have extreme nostalgia for these movies even though they’re only a few years old? Yes, I do. Really though, they’re just fun as heck. Who cares if they’re cheesy

[@RikuKingdomHearts_II]

I think it would have been extra zany if in the 2nd movie they had a scene where one of the actors who played one of the characters in Wet Side Story showed up. Just imagine if Tanner ran into the actor who played him in the movie. How weird that would be.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

True!

[@foodisscarce]

i mean, the movie was made in the 60s in that world so they would have had to either cast someone else to be the actor or do like really heavy makeup. plus the chances that the actor just happens to be there at that time would be a very big coincidence, though it is a dcom so nothing really has to make sense

[@RikuKingdomHearts_II]

@@foodisscarce Yeah I know it would be a bit of a out there/odd coincidence thing to happen, but I just like to muse the possibilities. Cause the ending of the 2nd movie still makes me wonder what happened in the actors lives since the movie was changed.

[@maem7462]

That would be cool. Another cool idea for the 2nd movie could he to reveal that Max’s grandpa was an actor in Wet Side Story and that could explain both why he loves it and why the surfboard was magically and sent them to the movie. Maybe it was some kind of movie magic bc the cast had so much fun filming the movie. That very strong positive emotion could be why the surfboard was magical

[@EliasMorals]

I know!!! A lot of the songs in TBM feel like they're there for a plot reason Surf Crazy to introduce the Surfers, Cruising for a Bruisin for the bikers. Falling for ya to set up the conflict. Meant to be as an attempt to get them to like each other. Same for Like Me. Can't Stop Singing is about them getting stuck-stuck in the movie TB2's songs feel a bit too.. modern and like they're not needed?

[@zoelundy5561]

The ending of the second movie has always pissed me off. It’s like the writers of the second movie forgot that the two main characters were full on dating before they went into the movie in the first one. Even if the whole plot of the first movie didn’t happen they were still dating before everything happened and therefore would still remember who the other person was

[@JDM-is-my-name]

What I really like about these movies is that they are both co-lead. This isn't a movie purely for boys or girls. Yeah, it's a dcom, so there is an assumed audience, but at the same time there isn't anything in the movies that directly "belongs" to either group :) I also like that both movies, dispite being obviously co-lead, have female characters making the biggest decisions, in a way. Mckenzie has to make the decision to stay instead of leaving, and yeah the decision is based partly on her relationship, but that's OK with me. Leila has to make a decision about if she wants to still be the cute ditsy biker gal whose entire conflict is about her brother or her boyfriend or if she wants to do something else. Also, just my take on the whole "how the heck did that happen?" with the movie changing: Since Mckenzie and Brad's life changed because the movie did, it makes sense that the actors in the original movie suddenly had filmed a different one. If the movie can change in the real world, including real people's relationships and circumstances (because now neither Mckenzie or Brady has a reason to be at the beach that night, it makes sense that they now had new reasons) So the actors would just fall in line and believe that they filmed this version instead of the original. This is also why Mckenzie says that the movie has ahead of its time, because in the new timeline, it was extremely progressive.

[@M.M.Y.B]

I think the completely non-gendered problems really make it stick.

[@PokeMadness1996]

“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - C.S. LEWIS

[@rosetintmyworld3725]

I really love the first one because it's kinda like...rated G Rocky Horror Picture Show? With the cheesyness, couple being thrown into a universe of off-beat characters, and cool outfits (especially with the biker gang in Teen Beach), and the two main "normal" characters slowly being corrupted by the strange place they're stuck in, plus they accidentally get paired with some of the residents of this strange place. Heck, the guy who plays Brad in the 1975 Rocky Horror Picture Show movie IS IN TEEN BEACH MOVIE 1 as the old guy (I don't remember who he's supposed to be, I think he's the main girl's grandpa or something?) But the 2nd movie? No, I hated it, I hated it SO BAD! I thought the first one ended on a really high note and they ruined it with the 2nd movie!

[@JennyThePlatypus]

I've always preferred TBM over TB2 because It felt like a complete story. They went to place, learned about themselves, went home. While TB2 is fine, I don't like a the plot choices, because it kind of disregards TBM ever happening? Not to mention, the songs for TBM all served a plot purpose. But in TB2, they felt like if they weren't there, it wouldn't really change much?

[@doctordubstepgaming6706]

Garret Clayton (Tanner) commented in a reaction video a few years ago on why Tanner and Leila didn't kissed at 13:50. As Clayton explained, "We were supposed to kissed but you save that for the 3rd one. I think it wasn't until after the 2nd one everyone realized, they went to our world and we went to theirs. There's no 3rd movie. Cause it wouldn't make sense.".

I think the idea is that she stayed in the new timeline because she grew up watching the Leila, Queen of the Beach movie and it made her super free-spirited and independent, so much so that she refused to leave the beach even without knowing Brady.

I was obsessed with the first movie when it came out so much that I memorized the whole thing. Don't remember much of the second one but that one was also good.

[@elysianemily]

I’ve always noticed that when they get zapped in the second movie it sounds like they just got cooked bye bye out of the movie with the microwave sound effect

Me and my brother would watch the original teen beach movie religiously when it first came out (like we would legit just sit there and say like all the lines)

The first movie was amazing when I was younger. It was an excuse to look at a bunch of cute girls in swimsuits without my parents questioning anything. XD

[@charliedelfino2102]

I LOVED this movie in late elementary school. It was my favorite movie for a year when it came out, and I got the special collectors DVD with the surfboard keychain as a birthday gift that year. (I'm a senior now)

Something, I have been wondering about something in Disney movies, is how often they have used the dead parent trope. I'm wondering, can you do a video covering this?

I love Teen Beach Movie so much. When it first came out, my cousin and I watched it every night. I had it on DVD, I had the book, I had the CD, I had the necklace (it came with the DVD). My sister and I still watch it to this day because we just love it. A lot. Tanner, Lela, Butchy, and Rascal were iconic.

I love the first teen beach movie. It is pretty much the only d-com in my opinion to deliver genuinely funny one liners over and over throughout the entire movie. The overdramatic acting and how dumb the characters are because they're only supposed to have one personality trait is hilarious when done intentionally. With the first movie the main complaint from most people is that the mad scientist guys didn't fit in and kind of ruined the vibe and weren't even really necessary for the plot, which I agree with. There could've just been a natural storm forming at the end of the movie but Mac and Brady accidentally messed with the plot so now they have to fix everything before the storm comes and they have to leave. The second one I've only actually seen once and I saw it when I was younger and still the target demographic for disney channel movies. I don't really remember much of the movie but I know I didn't like it that much. I thought the concept was lazy because it was just the first movie in reverse, but it was bad because the real world was really boring in comparison to the movie. And I also didn't like the ending but I've always hated sad/bittersweet endings in movies. Layla wanted to live in the real world and get an education and a life and even though she can change the movie, she'll still never be able to fulfill her dreams completely. She only went back to save herself and everyone else in the movie, sacrificing everything that she had just found out that she wanted for herself. The second movie also sort of retconned the first in how Mac and Brady met. Like I think everyone just assumed they met on the beach while surfing because that's the interest that they have in common, Mac hated Wet side story so why would that be the determining factor in whether or not they started dating. Also, they made a second movie without really explaining how they were able to teleport into an old movie from the past, using a magic surfboard. They talk about the fact that it's the flower symbol that actually has the magic but they never explain why.
