High School Musical (2006 TV Movie) User Reviews

Disney Channel Was On Some Other S**t Back Then.

[colorthekid · 7/10 · 2 February 2020]

Re-watching this as an adult made me realize that I had no idea what good writing was back then, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Maybe because of the songs or the nostalgia factor, but I honestly feel like I can watch this over and over again and not get bored.

Even though I'm aware that High School Musical is not at all a "good movie", I can't deny that it's a fun movie. and nostalgia doesn't allow me to express anything other than love for it.

Nostalgia

[jace_the_film_guy · 7/10 · 14 September 2021]

While the film only came out 15 years ago, I felt a high amount of nostalgia watching High School Musical again. It was exciting to see the start of something new (pun absolutely intended) and the Disney Channel juggernaut that came from it.

The story was straightforward and predictable, the acting was mediocre, and the script was incredibly cringey at times, but I can forgive all of that because of the music. Every song in this film is a karaoke classic that I blasted in my mom's car to and from middle school. While it is not a cinematic masterpiece, this film brings back sentimental feelings and memories that make it a family favorite.

The phenomenon that was

[studioAT · 6/10 · 6 April 2016]

10 years ago this first High School Musical film launched with very little fanfare, and no real big names in it. Little did Disney know that it would capture the imagination and hearts of so many young people, spawn two (at present) sequels and become a lasting phenomenon!

Is it surprising when you watch the actual film? No, not really. It's an hour and a bit of fun, the young cast (and they do look young) all give good performances, and it's enjoyable for all ages.

The make it or break it quality with any musical are the songs, and of the three 'High School' films this is the one with the most iconic songs.

No, it's not Shakespeare. But it is an almost modern version of Grease. I'm not a huge musicals fan, but I enjoyed it.

Thumbs up from a child of the 80s

[rooprect · 7/10 · 28 February 2014]

I definitely don't fit into the target demographic for Disneys' "High School Musical", and when my friends saw it in my DVD collection they threatened to disown me. At that point I figured I could either (a) say "HOW DID THAT GET THERE?! and quickly distract them by popping in Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket", (b) sheepishly admit that I'm a dork and in serious need of help, or (c) rabidly defend how awesome this movie is, accusing them that if they're too closed-minded to give it a try then their inner child must be dead and rotting in their dark pit of hearts.

I opted for (c).

As I said, this movie is fantastic. Directed by Kenny Ortega, known for many TV stints and music videos but perhaps best known as Michael Jackson's choreographer, you know immediately that this is a flick with some professional music and dancing. But for me, what I really liked was the theme of this movie, something unlike anything I've seen before. And I've been secretly watching teen flicks since the 80s with classics like "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club" and so on.

Through the ages, most teen flicks, if not all, have focused on one theme: the idea of outcasts & nerdy underdogs rising up and doing battle with the popular kids. True, it's a great theme that every teen (and every adult, for that matter) should understand. Dare to be different. Be uncool, and do it in the coolest way possible.

Here in "High School Musical" we get a reverse twist on that. The star of the movie (played by Zac Ephron) is already one of the cool kids, good looking, smart, sports jock. But he dreams of doing something as totally uncool as singing in the high school musical.

From there the theme materializes. This isn't just another "revenge of the nerds" type story, but instead it's a very individualistic, and dare I say existentialist, take on how to exist in society. Drop all labels, cross all boundaries, do whatever you want. There's a great line in the movie where Zac says to his father, "What if all my friends laugh at me?" and the father responds, "Well then they're really not your friends." Gems like this may be obvious in life, but they bear repeating to kids as well as wayward adults. Are you a 45 year old corporate executive who's afraid to quit your job and be a hairdresser? Watch this movie. Even if your situation is not as extreme as that, we all encounter pockets of resistance based on what people expect of us. And often, it's much harder to climb *down* from a successful position than it is to climb *up* from nothing.

Besides that, the movie is just plain fun. All the character are lovable, even the "villains" who in this case are the scary sister & brother team played by Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel. They reminded me of something out of an old Tim Burton flick (Edward Scissorhands) with their hilarious portrayal of the proverbial small-town big fish. Another memorable villain is the failed-diva drama teacher who always seems to be one measure away from breaking into "I'm So Pretty" (don't worry, she doesn't). Zac's female counterpart is played by Vanessa Hudgens who also does a great job of depicting the new transfer who doesn't know how or where to fit in.

Like I said, this is a great film with a solid message for all ages, as long as your inner child isn't dead. I'm not sure if this review was of any use to you, but it sure silenced the room when I shouted it at my friends. In short, this movie is for anyone who's not afraid to yell "I love High School Musical!"

A Musical Delight!

[NikkiSweet · 7/10 · 20 January 2006]

"High School Musical" was a movie that can pick you up and make you "dance". The songs were great especially "Get your head in the game". With some dance moves, the movie also added great humor,"love",and for those jocks out there BASKETBALL! The actors rocked the stage and just made the movie a teen can watch and who knows maybe one or two can relate to "Troy"(Zac Efron),"Gabriella"(Vannesa Anne Hudgens),or even "Sharpay"(Ashley Tisdale). Disney has proved itself once again as the movie magnet! Like other movies "Right on Track", "Go Figure", "High School Musical" is a great movie which you can sit with family or with friends and enjoy and you never know when you might be singing along!

Absolutely Hideous

[chilipepperz9182 · 1/10 · 14 July 2006]

Maybe I'm just a weirdo. After reading all these other reviews, I'm pretty sure that I am. Or maybe it's just because I've been performing with musical theatre companies since I was about seven, so the idea of a musical isn't something novel and new for me. But every time I tried to watch this movie, and every time I heard somebody talk about how great it was, I just couldn't help but CRINGE. Not only was this another long shot for the young Disney stars to prove their "versatility", such as it is(n't), but it was yet another show about the magical clichés and drama of high school, something I'm getting absolutely sick of. I have to go to school every day and deal with petty high school drama; why would I want to come home and listen to people SING about it? Seriously. At least REAL musicals that used those themes, like Hairspray and Grease, had actual talent behind them, as well as good songs and actual FUN. Not a bunch of pretty-boy jocks smiling cheesily and singing about how much they love basketball. The whole production was so shallow...I still haven't been able to sit through the entire movie. I've had to watch it in sections of twenty minutes, just to be able to stand it. And something that ESPECIALLY bothered me: the representations of the people in the drama club. Dude, that teacher? "Brava"? You've got to be kidding me. And then that little drama queen and her wimpy brother...so, so cliché. I haven't met anybody like any of those three since I was, like, ten. And I know, I know: it's just a corny little Disney movie playing up the clichés. And for about half a second, characters like that might seem kinda funny. Then try going to school the next day and hear people asking you if you've ever had a director like that teacher, or asking how you can possibly be a "real" theatre person because you don't seem obnoxious enough...it gets old. This movie sucked. Why do people like it so much?

What's Not To Like About This Charming Film?!

[zkonedog · 8/10 · 12 March 2017]

The other night, having nothing else to do, I popped in the DVD of High School Musical just to see what the "fuss" is all about (My younger sister owns the HSM dolls, clothes, towels, movies, CDs, video games, sheet music, etc). Though not usually drawn to the musical genre or Disney Channel dramatic fare, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this film held my interest and entertained me for its duration.

Plot-wise, HSM doesn't deviate too far from standard Disney programming. When new girl to school Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) begins to form a relationship with school beau Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), it draws the ire of popular girl Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) and facilitates an overhaul of East High's social cliques.

What sets the storyline apart from, say, a typical episode of Hannah Montana, though, is the way the school stereotypes are portrayed. Instead of getting too preachy, Disney instead wildly accentuates those stereotypes and lets the simple messages of diversity and acceptance speak for themselves. Troy is the All-American boy every girl has a crush on, Gabriella is the stunningly beautiful girl next door, and Sharpay is the over-the-top princess who rules the school with her status.

Of course, HSM needs to (as a musical) ultimately be judged on the quality of its musical numbers...the category in which it succeeds fantastically. From the very beginning, when a karaoke DJ hands microphones to Troy and Gabriella and tells them "you might thank me for this someday", viewers will realize the quality of the musical numbers about to come. Though Efron does not provide his own vocals, he IS able to adroitly portray the conflicted Troy (basketball vs. singing) through acting and dance. Hudgens' tunes are usually softer, but very poignant ("When There Was Me And You", in which Hudgens flies solo, is my favorite piece in the film), while Tisdale is probably the most talented actor/singer/dancer of the bunch in her fantastically choreographed and special effects-laden numbers.

So, if you are a parent/older sibling who wants to know what make your child/younger sibling go crazy over HSM, I would encourage you to sit down and watch this film (preferably with them). Even the most jaded critics will be humming (or outright belting) the catchy melodies long after the end credits roll.

My childhood

[iloveUGA123 · 7/10 · 19 February 2013]

Honestly, I just randomly gave it a vote. You really can't vote on how good this movie is. Yes I mean it was a very typical Disney channel movie, but I was in elementary school when this movie came out, and everybody my age including myself was obsessed with it; I couldn't even count the amount of times that I watched this movie.

If you've never seen this movie and you're over the age of lets say 12, you're probably not going to like it. This was my childhood though and everybody loved the music and I owned the movie and CD and would always listen to the music. Everyone would watch it and would watch the sing alongs on Disney channel, because I was probably 8 when this movie came out and I am now 15 and Disney channel was everyones life and childhood, so I could never give this movie a bad review, but I really don't know what to give it out of 10 so I just gave it a 7.

High school musical is a Disney movie where you can really only like it if you were young like me when it came out. I haven't seen this movie in forever, and I watched it the other day and still pretty much remember all of the words to every song!

Self-aware and for a Disney Channel Original Movie surprisingly well acted, choreographed and engaging. It holds up through the years but that might just be my nostalgia

[quiqueperezsoler · 7/10 · 10 April 2020]

I'm not sure what it is and maybe I'm blinded by childhood nostalgia, but this movie has something different. Compared to other TV movies this one has surprisingly decent acting, musical numbers pertinent to the plot and not just bursting into song whenever (although there are a couple of songs like that); and lastly a very subtle sort of foreshadowing in the content of the songs they are singing. I never really paid much attention to all the lyrics of the songs but they describe exactly how the characters are without having to tell us. They surprisingly respect the "show don't tell" rule in that aspect.

The message is loud and clear, there's no misinterpretation and that's great for kids. It has uplifiting and feel-good beats to it as well as breaking with the norm and the cliques in high school teaching the younger audiences to be themselves and to not simply choose between black and white. It's a good message enhanced by decent performances with surprisingly decent dialogue and good pacing. I know with what I said it sounds like the movie has nothing wrong to it but maybe I'm sort of biased due to the nostalgia trip it carries everytime I watch it.

For new viewers I say this: don't take it too seriously, I mean, it's not oscar worthy at all and wasn't meant to be released in theaters and therefore had a tight budget. It delivers in what it's selling: an endearing story of a couple who want to be together doing what they love and being who they want to be, struggling to make the rest of the people in their lives see that too. Only enhanced by upbeat and well choreographed music and funny side characters like teachers and other students. A fun watch

Delivers on a genre level but the casual viewer will find the so-so songs, soullessly slick delivery, stage-school performances & cloying morals to be problems

[bob the moo · 4 January 2007]

Troy Bolton is the captain of the high school basketball team but, at a New Year's Eve party he discovers a love for music while doing karaoke with a girl he just met – Gabriella. Going back to school after the break, Troy discovers that Gabriella is a new pupil there and that she is smart enough to not be part of his social circle and is a big player in the science club. As the high school musical approaches Gabriella and Troy have become closer and are tempted to go for the two lead roles. However, not only will this mean breaking up the musical domination of Sharpay and Ryan Evans but more significantly challenging the social moulds they are put in by themselves and their peers.

With a title that is pretty much a description of contents rather than a title, I pretty much knew what this film was going to be when I sat to watch it. I expected a typical high school movie plot (ie pick one from the five or six main generic ones in films) but delivered as a musical and for the whole thing to be as glossy and as cheerful as one would expect from the Disney film. The way that it is laid out means that it delivers just that – a cheerful musical that goes where you expect it to and does it with the spirit of a light Broadway musical. To those that pick up this film as one would a packet of potatoes in a supermarket (ie knowing that they want potatoes and that they are buying potatoes) then this will provide just what you want and should cover up the weaknesses inherent in it.

Even to the fan, these weaknesses will be as obvious as they are to the viewers that dislike the film. The plot is of course generic and will surprise not even the child audience it is aimed at. The message is writ large across every scene and is clunky almost the whole time. The cheerful pushing of this message of acceptance and being true to yourself is a bit like propaganda and lacks any reality – something many peer-pressured teenagers will tell you. The songs themselves are cheerful big numbers that are as clean and as wholesome as American pie (the ideal rather than the movie!); none of them are good and many will grate on those not used to musicals (although this is not really the film's fault).

The cast are probably the most annoying aspect for the casual viewer because almost to a performer they scream "stage school" and they do the exaggerated and facial-movement-heavy acting that one would expect from a school musical production. Of course this just about works within the context of the genre but I found it annoying because they didn't seem to have an off switch – so even in the smaller moments they are doing the same stuff as in the midst of a massive dance number. Hudgrens is cute and makes for a sweet lead. Efron is bland but probably offers the safe and sexless looks that a female tweenie audience appreciate. Coleman's performance is poor but I was amazed by how a woman in her late twenties can manage to look fifteen! Bleu is equally poor and together they fail to provide any teeth to the peer pressure that is key to the plot. Everyone sings and dances well enough and again, within the genre, they work even if they will get on the rag of the casual viewer.

Overall then this is a film that does just what it says on the tin. It is a high school plot delivered as a musical. Those buying this product knowing the contents will probably like it because it does just what you expect and delivers a solid and slick musical to the extent that the weaknesses of the genre can be forgiven. However the casual viewer will find the so-so songs, soullessly slick delivery, stage-school performances and simplistic, cloying morals to be pretty big hurdles to get over.

Best Movie On Disney Channel

[akrein9 · 7/10 · 22 August 2006]

Besides The Cheetah Girls, High School Musical is the only Disney Channel Original Movie that has been getting ratings and good comments from the critics. High School Musical is my favorite Disney Channel Original Movie. I heard a rumor that they might make it into a Disney Channel Original Series after High School Musical 2 Premieres! If I had to give a Award to one of the actors in High School Musical for Best Performance, It Would go to Ashley Tisdale for her snotty Girley-girl image and her great act of being a Popular Rich Girl. I think she gets it from her best friend, Brenda Song who plays a Popular Rich Girl named London Tipton on The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody. If You haven't seen it, Watch it on Disney Channel or Buy the DVD.

This Is Actually Pretty Entertaining

[Mr_Sensitive · 7/10 · 23 March 2007]

Hate to admit but it was surprisingly very enjoyable movie and the music is very catchy. Now I have no doubt why it was so famous. Of-course this movie is not for everyone specially the one that takes movie seriously.

Synopsis: Troy is known as school basketball hero and his love for the sport. Things change when he went to New Year party and was force to sing karaoke with another girl. There he found he found his love for music when ever he sing with her, the only problem is he is a basketball player not a pansy theater singer as most of his teammate consider.

It is true the movie consist of everything that is considered really bad movie, it got bad direction, lighting, cinematography, screenplay, dialog, acting, set, costume, location and almost everything but hell it was bad fun. I suppose those easy and cheesy lyrics and songs really do help this movie fun to watch and listen to.

The best part of the movie got to be the cast; though most of them don't even look like High School student I don't really see much of problem there. Zac, Vanessa, Ashley did a pretty all right job and fit in together pretty well.

The songs are very simple, with simple lyrics and tunes and it was really catchy, it stuck in your head. Perfect for the entire young viewer. And there are so much music and variety in the movie for them to sing along. And choreograph was simple but seem to work out just fine.

I suggest just sit back and relax and enjoy the movie and try not to point out any mistake in the movie otherwise even after two days of watching the movie you will still counting it.

Recommendation: Yes, Make Great Present For Kids.

Reason To Watch: For Enjoyment and Music; Also The Cast.

Reason Not To: It Was Corny and Not Recommend For Serious Movie Watcher.

Rating: 7.5/10 (Grade: C+) - Meet Kids Expectation.

Please Rate Y/N After Read. Thanks.

This movie was hideous.

[hadertjou12 · 1/10 · 22 May 2006]

I can understand The Disney Channel when they try to aim toward a children's audience but when I have to listen to the awfully fake singing that is blasting from my younger sister's room as they play the movie constantly, it begins to irritate. One day, I decided to give Disney a chance by actually bearing to watch the movie. Right as it started I began to feel embarrassed for the ACTORS! It was some of the worst acting and singing I have ever heard. I tried my hardest to sit in on the whole thing until it went to the cafeteria scene (if you could call it a cafeteria, more like a Chucky Cheese cruise-liner dining room). I started laughing not because of their failure at being funny, but just how annoying the song was! I immediately turned off the TV and kept laughing. I say that Disney should stick to it's roots and stop airing shows that include ONLY high-schoolers when the viewers are between ages 4 and 12. The messages these shows are giving are either giving children the wrong idea or just going right over their heads. A 1 out of 10.

They don't make them like this anymore

[kizzabrizza · 10/10 · 19 July 2021]

This movie is and has always been one of the best early teen movies to ever exist. There hasn't been many movies close to it as it's hard to replicate the good music and storyline provided to children from watching these movies. Thank you HSM.

Great Music Makes Up for an iffy story

[zgamer-1 · 7/10 · 15 February 2006]

I kept hearing about this TV movie for a while. The soundtrack was a hit on iTunes and it was being advertised all the time. So my sister recorded it one night and I decided to watch it.

The truth is, it's good. Not great, mind you, but good. First, let me point out some flaws. For one thing, the plot is basic Disney stuff. It may please children, but it isn't anything you haven't seen before. It's predictable on almost every plain all the way to the end. There are also lots of the T.V. stereotypes (pretty faced lead characters, poorly acted snotty villaness, bad portrayal of nerds and jocks). Also, a lot of the jokes in the film are either poorly timed or basic Disney quick gags.

What really shines, though, is the amazing music and songs. The voices for most of the singers is good (though the lead guy doesn't do his own singing), the songs are well written and sung greatly, and they usually have a good mood appropriate to the scene they're in. My favorite song is Stick to the Status Quo for two reasons. One, it's very reminiscent to musicals like Grease, and two because it actually a good satire to hidden ambitions and High School culture's view on them (it ignores them for popular stuff). Get Your Head in the Game is cool to, though a bit too hip hop/pop.

So overall, the good outweighs the bad. It certainly fits the basics for a Disney movie. It has an average plot with average dialogue, average or over-the-top acting (Ashley Tishdale: Overacting + Good singing voice= ?), and a cheesy feel which will please kids. But if your looking for a good family movie or if you like Broadway-esquire music and singing, this should be considered.

Fun for the entire family

[angelastarfish · 7/10 · 9 August 2021]

I am Musical Director for a young people's theatre group and will be producing HSM in 2019 so I thought I had better have a look at this. First impression is that it is a steal from Grease, but without the nasty bits eg pregnancy etc. Having said that, the youngsters will love it and I will share in their enthusiasm.

the taliban might even approve

[toreadorable · 1/10 · 29 August 2007]

Romantically entangled High Schoolers who don't kiss? Students who drink milk with their lunches? A "be true to yourself" message that includes all the timidly heterosexual students (none of whom struggle with their sexual identity)? Ridiculously stereotyped faculty members and parents who can do no wrong by their kids?

As many have mentioned, this is a shameful throwback to the early-mid 20th century.

I'm not sure whether this paints a more bleak picture of the Disney operation or of a wide swath of the downward-spiraling American culture.

Ugh...

[xanadu_dan · 1/10 · 19 April 2006]

This can't even compare to Grease or Fame - I'd say a better comparison is Grease 2, although mentioning From Justin to Kelly would be much more accurate as to what this "film" is like. Writing that makes Saved by the Bell look erudite, songs that come out of nowhere and mean nothing to the plot, annoying stage-mother-driven kids that can't act (or sing, according to reports that singing was dubbed). No distinct look, a lack of production numbers, and the most disposable score I've heard in years contribute to this being one of the worst musicals I've had the displeasure of sitting through. Mind you, I'm sure the kids will eat it up, as kids are notoriously undiscerning in their entertainment as long as it's packaged correctly. However, if you're over 18 and don't have children, avoid this like the plague.

Tapping Into a Trend

[LeonardKniffel · 6/10 · 4 May 2020]

Leave it to the Disney Channel to tap into the enduring appeal of singing-and-dancing young people to create this enormously popular musical, which has spun off High School Musical 2, High School Musical 3: Senior Year, and a performance DVD called High School Musical: The Concert. The enormously wholesome and morally uplifting movies are a great antidote to the cynicism and anger that pervade so many contemporary films. On the other hand, the narcissism of these young folks puts Fame to shame, and after a while the concert begins to sound like a karaoke tape. I really prefer Glee. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013

Are You Kidding Me!!

[CowsOnlyMooForSoLong · 1/10 · 5 August 2006]

OK first I want to say i did NOT watch this on my own initiative! I was FORCED to watch this movie and I must say that hour and a half I will never get back! I wasn't expecting much and I was still severely disgusted that I had to watch this movie.

The movie not only features bad actors and OBVIOUS lip singers, but it also has terrible lines and terribly stereotypical characters! There is the jocks, the nerds, and the preps! This movie portrays high school a place full of cliques which is also a stereotype! Though it tries to portray a good message, the amount of stereotypes in the movie almost negates the message its trying to send! This is a terrible movie, even by made-for-TV Disney standards!

PLEASE!!! If someone tries to make you watch this movie do NOT give in! You will be bored, sickened and you will have severe distain for the person that made you watch this poor excuse for a movie.

too cute!

[michelle_janz · 10/10 · 23 August 2006]

high school musical is an awesome movie and i recommend it to everyone! Zac Efron is so hot! anyways , its a great movie and the story is so cute. this movie has an awesome cast with amazing voices. the movie has awesome songs , voices - and not to mention all of the sweet dances. its the kind of movie that u fall in love with and just wanna watch over and over again. its definitely aimed at girls and its one that u can always watch with your girls and swoon over Zac Efron's hotness!there is also supposed to be a sequel coming i out during summer of 2007 so ill sure be watching it and once u watch this movie you will too! anyways , be sure and watch next time it airs or pick up a copy. p.s.- it has an awesome soundtrack too! It starts off when Troy Bolton (a basketball superstar) meets Gabriella (a pretty genius) at a new years eve party on vacation when they are chosen to sing together for a karaoke contest. when Troy goes back to school to find that she is the new girl , they must both make hard decisions- should they do what they're heads are telling them to do ( which is to stick with basketball and smarts to do what they're friends want) or go with they're hearts and sing together.

It was excellent!

[utefan5 · 6/10 · 26 January 2006]

It was by far the best Disney Channel Original Movie ever made. The casting was excellent. They chose the perfect people to play the roles. I would like to see more Disney Movies with those cast members. They are wonderful actors. The songs were great. They want to make you watch it over and over and sing along with them. It was a wonderful storyline, and the dancing was also great. I would definitely love to see a sequel made, with the same cast members. I think that a sequel would be a great idea and would be a huge hit. I would definitely recommend this movie for people of all ages, whether or not they like Disney Channel Movies or not. I am definitely going to buy the sound track and buy the DVD when it comes out. It was a wonderful movie. I loved it a lot. Keep up the good work Disney Channel.

OMG awesome movie

[hottsassy · 5 March 2006]

first, whats a spoiler? if you write a comment, you'll know what i mean. second. high school musical is the best movie ever. AWESOME job to Vanessa Anne hudgens, you were awesome. i cant wait to see the dance version of high school, I've always wanted to dance like them. IT airs on March 10th, 8/7central. yea!! Its gonna be great. just so you guys all know, Vanessa Anne hudgens is also acting in the Disney channel original series Suite Life of Zack and Cody, but shes only in two episodes. Also, thanks to zac effron for being so cute!!!!! but also, i am a music fanatic, i listen to music twenty-four seven, its my life, and high school musical is my all time favorite music I've ever heard, except maybe saving Jane, but thats a whole other thing, so i say watch high school musical as much as you can and try to tape it so you can watch it anytime. also, tell the site to provide the piano solo for breaking free, I've always wanted them. Watch High school musical!!!

good

[emmad04 · 9/10 · 20 January 2006]

This was a overall good movie by the Disney Channel's standards! I, being 18 years of age and sitting at home on a Friday night to watch it, am happy to say I sat through the entire thing happily! This movie is for adults and kids and also brought me back to high school even though it was only a year ago! The music brings meaning to the story and without it the movie wouldn't be complete which is why it is called High School Musical! I hope everyone who sees it enjoyed it as much as I did!! If Disney keeps up at this rate all the new actors and actress, singers and everyone will be the new product of them! Look at Hillary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Raven, and many others! This movie has a few soon to be rising stars in it! Good job Disney!!
