[Music] what's up Greg I've wanted to make a video about the High School Musical movies ever since I started making videos about dcoms almost 5 years ago more so is just an excuse to go back and watch them cuz when I was a kid I really like these movies and if you're a millennial chances are you did too and you were also too scared to admit that to any of your friends I don't know why as an 11-year-old I felt the need to pretend that I didn't like a movie that was you know made for 11-year-old as if all my friends were going to be like High School Musical I don't know man sounds a little immature to me I only watch war footage I'm a very violent young man either way something I did not realize as a kid is how low budget these movies were the first movie was made on a budget of $4.2 million which might sound like a lot but Zombies 3 which is a newer decom cost $40 million to make in Zombies defense though they needed the money those werewolf costumes looked pretty expensive High School Musical was shot in just a couple of weeks at a real high school using real students as extras in fact they were so strapped for cash they couldn't even afford a real title apparently High School Musical was just the working title for the script and they were like we'll come up with a better one eventually and then they didn't I'm very excited to see if these movies hold up to my jaded adult eyes so let's start with the first one let me introduce you to the two main characters of this movie Troy and Gabriella they don't know each other yet but they're both on vacation with their respective families at a ski resort on New Year's Eve and right away this movie shows you everything you need to know about these characters in like 2 minutes Gabriella is nerd girl she doesn't want to go to the teen party because she's busy reading a book meanwhile Troy's dad is the most stereotypical Disney dad to ever grace the screen not only is Mr Bolton Troy's dad he's also the coach of Troy's high school basketball team so instead of getting ready for the parties he's making Troy run drills in the hotel JY am I going left yeah he looks middle you take it downtown well Troy it's New Year's Eve you know what that means that's right Dad I I might finally get my first kid fake right take the ball downtown Troy's mom comes to get them for the party and Troy asks if he can have one more basket with all of the confidence and Swagger of a real high school jock come on one more one more just one more basket please Troy shows up to the teen party and is immediately yawning his face off all right hell yeah this is clearly a popular jock who knows how to party somehow despite being the two most bored people at the party the spotlight chooses Troy and Gabriella to sing karaoke but to the spotlight operator's credit they actually do crush it they both get up there and they're nervous at first but then all of a sudden Troy's voice it's like it changes almost actually it's like his voice changes from his voice to like a professional singer's voice cuz that is what happens actually in my own world I think this might be like the most well-known High School Musical trivia but for the vast majority of the first High School Musical movie it's not Zack Efron's Voice singing he had a voice double his name is Drew cely and he never appears on screen in the movies he also apparently didn't even realize how big of a movie High School Musical was and forgot that he had done the vocals for the movie until it came on the TV while he was working a shift at PF Changs apparently he tried to convince his co-workers that it was really him singing in the movie and no one believed him it's kind of funny cuz the whole point of the movie is kind of like hey basketball guys can sing too if they Wana uh but not this basketball guy actually you don't want to hear this basketball voice so they crush the song They're dancing around on stage together it's like they were born to perform but for me personally little Viking boy really steals the show you guys know little Viking boy right he's basically the star of the movie look at him back there he's leaving it all on the Dance Floor man wa sorry I almost fell backwards it's just he actually is getting a little bit too into this this guy's locking eyes with me like we've been madly in love for years and why his voice suddenly gets so much more [Applause] theatrical I guess I better go find my mom and wish her a happy New Year this is so romantic I should say something romantic I got to go find my mom and then she vanishes and he never sees her again that's right you thought the movie was going to be about Troy and Gabriella n now the rest of this movie is about Troy and Viking boy Flash Forward Troy returns to his High School East High where he is seemingly a god amongst men and then um actually I don't uh I don't remember this scene yeah I don't know what happens here at all looks like the teacher is about to maybe give some kind of speech about today's sponsor this video is sponsored by the Pokemon company International and they've sponsored this video because they want me to share

reviewed your impressive transcripts I expect your light will shine very brightly here at East High I don't want to be the school's freaky genius girl again freaky genius girl what did you do at your last School Troy notices that Gabriella is sitting in the back of their drama class and not to be nitpicky but this drama class scene lasts for 2 minutes but the class happens in real time from start to finish in that 2 minutes the Bell Rings they sit down the whole class gets detention and then the Bell Rings again and they leave how long is a school day at East Tha is it like 15 minutes Troy shows Gabriella around they catch up a little bit and it is revealed that East High is having auditions for their winter musical pretty soon Troy jokes that Gabriella should sign up because you know they sang together and Gabriella's response is basically [ __ ] no I won't be signing up for anything for a while yeah I don't know why I remembered this movie differently I thought they both wanted to do the Musical Troy seems to maybe want to do it and Gabrielle is like no I'm not doing that no I don't sing I'm not a freaky genius girl and I'm definitely not a freaky singer girl so dude you know that uh School Musical thing um Troy the music in those shows isn't hip-hop okay or Rock it's like show music yeah and you guys would never do anything like sing show music right and then cut to them singing the hardest show music in this entire movie that's the funny thing about this movie since it's a movie about a musical there are several characters in this movie that are opposed to musicals so it is a little jarring to see those characters seemingly completely unaware that they are literally singing and dancing right now but on the other hand I guess it would also be weird if they didn't sing when everyone else was at the end when they're all singing We're All in This Together Corbin Blue's just standing around like this is lame there's two parts in the song though where Troy like stops rapping to s sing from the heart about how he wants to do the musical she makes this Feel So Right should I go for it what do you mean she makes this Feel So Right and should I go for it Gabriella doesn't want to do the musical it was your idea and she said no don't drag her into this this girl's making me crazy no you're crazy you already were and then you met a girl that's what happened also Zack Efron is 58 and presumably so is everybody else on this basketball team cuz they're all like the same height so how good exactly are they at basketball okay now you got Sharpe who's played by Ashley Tisdale she's like the head of the theater department at school she's the theater kid and her brother Ryan is the theater kid in boy form they are getting a little bit worried that Troy and Gabriella might audition for the musical again Gabriella has showed zero interest in doing the musical so they decide to do a little bit of research on Gabriella so they search her name on the Internet and they find out she's this freaky genius girl that she said she was she's won all of these Awards She's won Scholastic competitions and the like but also uh what is the third result there Gabriella San Diego Zoo's newest what what is Gabriella at the San Diego Zoo Ryan's like oh that's interesting look it says here she's a dolphin that's funny now that I think about it I can't believe I never noticed after basketball practice it's time for Troy to go home and relax just kidding it's time for more basketball come on Troy bake CL take the ball down to did you ever think about trying something new but we're afraid of what your friends might think you mean like going left you're doing fine come on Troy's dead D has one thing in his mind and it is one basketball just bouncing around like the DVD logo I want to see a movie about him and how hard his life must be I do like that this movie keeps the tradition alive of Disney Channel movie characters being inexplicably rich his dad is a high school basketball coach and they live in a mansion what does the mom do she an arms dealer also he says something new like going left me like going left when in get ahead in the game Troy clearly says coach said to fake right and break left he already said to do that that's not new that's what he already does so found a plot hole next Troy sneaks away from his friends to go audition for the musical I guess the voices in his head that he thinks are Gabriella got too strong and he now has to act on [Music] them he's gone wow where didd he go pay no attention to the fact that as he turns the corner he probably fully saw Troy like meanwhile Troy's dad is just standing there like huh that's weird could have sworn I saw basketball now when we see the auditions it becomes immediately clear that while Ryan and Sharpe are basically made out to be the villains of this movie cuz they're so overprotective of their theater department they are completely in the right to do so not because their audition is really good which it actually is but because everyone else's is so bad it's hard to believe that I couldn't sne me it seems that no one else in this entire school can even sing it seems like they actually don't even have a concept of what music is so like yeah I would actually be hoping I got the lead too it is funny how they all act like they can't sing and then anytime there's like an actual musical number as part of the movie every member of the student body sings their heart out like the rent is do what's going on there so Troy shows up to audition and then Gabriella shows up too I guess turns out she actually did want to audition I don't know I don't know if Troy threaten her or what but she shows up but they are too late to the actual audition so they don't get to audition in time but they stick around afterwards and just sing an audition anyway and Miss Daris the director hears them and decides you know what you guys get a call back understandably so she's working with a very small talent pool Here Comes two people who know what a song is she's got to hold on to that after school before school whatever works after basketball class we can get this ring so now this is interesting Troy is looking at his sheet music like he's never seen it before in his life despite having just sung the song Perfectly after only glancing at the sheet music briefly he also says what what to almost imply he has no clue how the sheet music got into his hands or how he got a call back does he not know that he just sang anytime there's a musical number in this movie do they just black out and come to like I don't know what happened we definitely didn't sing though I don't know how if you're my age it might have felt like this movie was written just for you and it came out and in a sense it kind of was the writer Peter barini who was mostly known for writing rated our action movies at the time started writing the script because he wanted to make a movie he could watch with his daughter Gabriella I thought it would be really fun to write a Disney Channel movie that my daughter could watch yes he did name the main character after her and that kind of melts my heart she was 10 in 2004 when he started writing it and so was I the story was actually inspired by his own high school experience when one of his basketball teammates confided in him about his love for ballet decades later Peter thought wow that's actually a perfect plot for a kids movie boys are more than just jocks they can do other stuff they can do ballet or No actually that's that's too far they could do the musical but only if it's cuz they want to sing with a girl anyway it's time for another song about how basketball players shouldn't sing sung by you guessed it the basketball [Music] players status quo is actually such a fantastic song it features several students who decide that hey since Troy and Gabrielle are breaking out of their stereotypical roles in this school so can I Zeke the basketball player decides to let everyone know hey not only do I play basketball I also bake I bake this nerdy girl loves hip-hop this Stoner skater guy likes to play the cello and everyone in the school [ __ ] hates it we're skaters bro we don't play the cello we only skate and smoke weed and of course we sing now of course this movie is very self-aware about this contradiction and I love it for that but it does not make sense at the beginning of this song Zeke says I want to make a creme brulee some day and then at the end of the song he actually has a creme brulee so he presumably baked this creme brulee at some point during the song it cuts to him sprinting down the hallway to the kitchen you can hear Everyone Else singing echoing in the background he's like they don't believe me they don't believe I can bake I got to show them so Gabriella shows up and everyone is of course staring at her cuz they were all just singing about her they're staring at her they're pissed and they kill her they kill Gabriella at my other schools I was the freaking math well I hate to break it to you Gabriela but you are a freak here too everyone at this school thinks you're a freak now also the entire student body I don't know if you heard they actually just sang an entire song about it now you're the freaky singing girl so you really want to do the callbacks just call me freaky callback boy you're a cool guy Choy thanks I said call me freaky callback boy sorry this is a close practice dad come on practice is over I until the last player leaves the gym I'll see you later Trey nice meeting you coach wolton there's a lot of tension here like Mr Bolton actually hates Gabriella he hates this 15-year-old girl with all his mice like you will never be a basketball get out of my son's life we know the truth go back to the zoo you dolphin she's not a problem she's just a girl but you're not just a guy Troy you're not just a guy Troy you're freaky callback boy call me freaky callback boy you're a playmaker not a singer did you ever think maybe I could be both the look on his face is like damn I really never did think of that because this whole singing thing is getting in the way of Troy's basketball responsibilities his team decides to get together with Gabrielle's friends to try to break the two apart the plan consists of getting Troy to badmouth Gabriella by listing the names of basketball players who went to their high school 20 years ago spider Bill NR class of 72 Samy slam jam and you want to know the crazy thing it works I've always been for the team she's just someone I met all right the singing thing is nothing we're supposed to believe he doesn't see them set up a webcam right in front of his face to record him shitalking his girlfriend they might as well be filming on like a giant hand crank film camera the kind where you got to put a blanket over your head to even see the image try 100 % sees the camera and does not care who sees what he's saying the thunder clap Gabriella is not important after this happens Gabriella doesn't want to talk to Troy anymore and this really hits Troy hard as you can see here the pain is manifesting itself in Troy physically here as he can't even shoot a basket without experiencing immense physical trauma aren't basketball players supposed to be good Under Pressure especially the captain of the team seems like this whole movie we've seen nothing short of the psychological unravel in of Troy because he's sang with a girl one time hey we just had another team meeting we just had another team meeting man and we just wanted to say we forgot about JJ buckets Jenkins class of 1984 does that change your mind so later Troy sneaks up onto Gabriella's balcony again huge house no explanation to try to win her back this could be the start of something new it feels so right to be here with you okay yeah I don't remember this part being so pitchy but this actually is Zack Efron's voice here yeah this is very uncomfortable can we can we get Drew cely in here please start [Music] something it's a peirs audition saying it's a paars audition kind of implies like I would audition without you if I could I guess Troy meant what he said earlier to the webcam he really does not care about Gabriella he just wants to be in the musical Gabriella is not important you might make the mistake like I did when I watched this as a kid of thinking this is kind of like a Romeo and Juliet story about Troy and Gabriela uh and it is a Romeo and Juliet story but Gabriella is not Juliet Juliet is just the musical how you feeling nervous yeah me too wish I could suit up and play alongside you yeah no [ __ ] what I want is for you to have fun I know all about the pressure and probably too much of it has come from me I can't help but feel like all that screaming at you and making you play basketball until your hands bleed has had some kind of negative effect on you but all I want in life is for you to be happy while playing basketball I am still demanding that thanks coach ah Dad let's stick with Coach unless you win all right sharp and Ryan try to throw another wrench into Troy and Gabriella's plans of attending the callbacks for the musical by getting the call backs changed to the exact same time as not only Troy's championship basketball game also Gabriella's to cathlon tournament so the Gang has to create a diversion that way they can make all three events so Gabriella and her genius friends first hack the school's power grid to turn off the lights at the basketball game then they create a chemical reaction at the decathlon so everyone has to evacuate and you know what I get why everyone called her a freaky genius girl at her last school I think she deserved it she's like oh we can use a chemical reaction I did this at my last school we just have to make sure we don't make it as strong this time that way not as many people will die not as many so Troy and Gabriella get to do their call back breaking free classic song and look the whole school shows up even the opposing basketball team is there they crush the audition Troy heads back to the basketball game and they win that too and then they all sing the big closing number of the movie We're All in This Together We're All in This Together wow I guess they all learned a valuable lesson except hang on Sharpe you did not learn a lesson get out of this song don't sing and dance with them like you learned a valuable lesson get get out if Gabriella dropped dead right now you would dance on her grave and that's High School Musical one many people lovingly remember little Viking boy from the first High School Musical movie and while he rocketed to stardom in the wake of the first movie his troubled life and full from Grace has been the subject of many concerned Twitter threads in the 19 years since do you know why I pulled you over today sir huh I said do you know why I pulled you over you're all over the road all right you want to play tough [ __ ] that's fine all right step out of the vehicle take off that helmet no I can't take this off it's a birth defect it's part of my body are you drunk I don't know huh let's think about that does crack get you drunk H let's think about that for a second let's all think does crack get you drunk after 15 DUIs and three counts of kidnapping exotic animals little Viking boy was sentenced to life in prison authorities claim that it's here he became head of an extremist religious cult his followers helped him Escape in 20123 and his current whereabouts are unknown although he does occasionally post to Instagram to frantically proclaim the end is near or post a brand deal every morning I wake up and I drink six bangs High School Musical premiered to 7.7 million viewers a record that has only been broken a handful of times in the nearly 20 years since but one of my favorite things to come out of the success of this movie which I totally forgot about until I was making this video was the live concert I forgot about this until I went to the library to check out the DVDs for the three movies and they happen to have a DVD of the recording of High School Musical in concert this feels pretty unusual even to this day for a Disney Channel movie to put together a live touring concert featuring the actual cast of the movie selling out Arenas with audiences in the tens of thousands around the world but it wasn't the whole cast actually Zach Efron couldn't be there because he had a commitment he was filming hairspray at the time so who did they get to fill in for him in my own world understand it's Drew sely Drew Drew Drew Drew Drew Drew Drew Drew sely I'm sure they advertised the fact that Zach wasn't going to be there and Drew would be in his place but I have to imagine every concert there were like one or two kids that were like what the [ __ ] Zach looks different in person with all the success of the first movie they had to crank out a sequel fast which they did releasing High School Musical 2 in August of 2007 and you might think it would be in possible for them to catch lightning in a bottle twice but oh baby did they what time is it sequel time High School Musical 2 is often regarded as the best High School Musical movie out of any High School Musical movie this one has the most moments that have lived on in the cultural Zeitgeist even today the movie starts just as the school year is ending the musical is long over so if you are expecting to see the musical that they were just auditioning for in the first movie get that out of your head right now you're never going to see that music summer to refresh and illuminate your fertile young minds one of the first things I noticed is that despite only a few months having passed from the events of the first movie Troy looks drastically different his hair is much darker he has a different haircut so you can see his ears now but most strikingly of all his eyes have somehow become more blue you're actually listening his eyes were already pretty blue in the first movie but they're piercing in this film it is scary get some contacts you free the clock 215 and the first Banger of this movie commences the class immediately erupts in celebration they throw their papers in the air start dancing around and did Chad just kiss his teacher on the neck yeah he okay he just kissed Miss darbus on the neck that's too far luckily it doesn't look like she cared she's just violent we finally get to hear Zach Efron actually sing in this song and I hate to admit it but he sounds pretty good I'm sorry Drew your services are no longer needed he does end the song in a very strange manner though yeah the song ends there's silence and then Troy breaks away from the group to slide on the floor and say yeah why does he do that now the trouble in this movie begins because Troy wants to make some extra cash this summer his parents are making him pay for college despite them clearly being very wealthy taking vacations at ski resorts and living in a literal Mansion but I got to get hired first me too I'm saving up for a car so I can take that little HTI on a proper date you can't see it but he's actually not talking about that girl in his grade Miss darbus is just standing right outside of Fran he in Troy what yeah why does he looks so confused there it's like it never occurred to him that t could be for Troy he's like oh I actually thought it was a cross but yeah no yeah t for Troy that's my name now that the school year's over and basketball season isn't starting back up again for months it's time for you guessed it basketball practice fake right Troy fake left take the ball Uptown for a fancy dinner tell you what seeing moves I didn't see last season Keep It Coming guys this post-workout scene has a lot of gems like Mr Bolton's insanely long shorts dude is criminally insecure about his knees also Troy about to drink from an entire gallon of milk from the fridge and then he gets a phone call revealing that his ringtone is get you head in the game uh-oh is that had a real song in this universe so in the first movie it seemed like Sharpe might have had a little crush on Troy but in this movie she's got a big crush on Troy she's like he's the most popular guy in school and I think I'm the most popular girl in school it's a match made in heaven so she pulls some strings at her family's Country Club to get Troy a summer job there the only catch is Troy requests to get like the entire School hired and somehow that works so Troy shows up with his entire basketball team you got Chad there also the nerdy girl who loves to hip-hop dance got a job there you got Vanessa hudgin stunt double working there Montes it would seem your lunch break does not start for 3.5 minutes in order to keep the conflict of this movie moving along they have to make it seem like their job is really demanding but they also have to tow the line of not making it seem like these kids are being abused in some way because they are just kids so some of the insane demands that their job is asking of them is just like hey can you show up to work on time and make sure you clock out at the end of your ship and the entire student body of East High is like we're in prison they're not going to pay us until we provide a service what kind of dystopian universe is this Mr fton is 100% correct to be strict by the way several times throughout this movie he catches them doing things they're very clearly not supposed to be doing like having a picnic on the golf course during the day while people are playing golf or swimming in the pool after hours when there's no lifeguard present and every time he's like um hey guys could you could you not do this anymore and Troy's just like man what the [ __ ] is this guy's problem suddenly I'm beginning to miss detention with M darbus yeah I bet you are you freak Toom you guys you've been working for 30 minutes this is a job this is just what jobs are I don't mention the is such a creep okay wait hold on what did he what did he do to you maybe I spoke too soon if he's actually a creep I take back everything I said so Sharpe didn't just have Troy hired she actually has a whole plan to lure Troy in starting with getting her dad to pull some strings at the University of Albuquerque's basketball team to give Troy a chance at a scholarship so Troy I saw your championship game I mean wow that last second shot at the buzzer outstanding if I was a basketball recruiter and I saw that championship game I would be more concerned about the lights going out and then everybody leaving at the same time to watch the star basketball player audition for a musical and then come back and win the game like nothing happened and then also how they all sang a song after that that's what I would be concerned about but yeah I'm sure he played well too you know between the two of us here we uh we pull a little weight over at the school ah well um time flies when you're having fun I'm not really sure what prompts that reaction they're like you know we could do a lot of great things for your future we really want to help you Troy and he's like I don't know I'm getting the [ __ ] out of here guys see you if that were Mr Bolton there instead of Troy right now he would be he'd be barking like a dog he dad let me play a few holes and then invited me to dinner with some U OFA alumni really oh wait Troy's dad is fixing up a car look he has other Hobbies good for him granted he is propping up the hood of the car with a basketball and there's more basketball and Hoops in the background and I do kind of feel like if we could see what he's working on there would just be five basketballs where the engine is supposed to be but it's a step in the right direction Troy's dad surprisingly is all for Troy going for the basketball scholarship nothing wrong with keeping your eye on the prize and that's great I totally agree with that Troy should cap capitalize on these opportunities he's been given but he should try to make his girlfriend and his friends a priority too however that is not what Troy does so it's all in the grip you got to hold it just right ooh that looks great hey I almost forgot I heard a Swiss on my Burg so go ahead and check it out man hey I almost forgot get back in the kitchen you broke [ __ ] and get your money on look at you go te yeah it's a gift from the guys typical high school jock always doing cool spin dance moves to get from the guy I love sports to get from the guy look how much taller the actual basketball players are than Troy I hate to say it man he's going to get crushed in college he doesn't stand a chance and not to mention they definitely don't take singing breaks in the middle of practice next we get the absolute classic I Don't Dance featuring you guessed it a lot of dancing I Don't Dance this song is great but tell me why at the end of the song Ryan and Chad are wearing each other's clothes cuz they don't ever address that it's such a confusing part of the movie why did they change clothes when when did they get naked so I was confused about this so I actually went looking and I found an article where the two actors explained what happened the outfit swap was actually suggested by director Kenny Ortega quote he had the on the-fly idea at the last minute blue said we had already done one take of that scene and he did the usual thinking gesture and said switch outfits bro was cooking bro was you I don't know what he was cooking but bro was cooking something hey we missed out on a fun night but the dessert afterwards had to be the best part her mom makes the best brownies in the entire world I've had them I've had them I've had her [ __ ] brownies I like that that was the thing that pissed him off he was like look I can catch you romantically dancing with my girlfriend at Sunset until the cows come home but you touch her mom's [ __ ] brownies you're dead we're fighting and let's just say by the end of the fight I'm going to be wearing your clothes blowing off your friends missing dates if that's you it's good to know no no no no no missing dates blowing off friends this is nothing like the Troy I met last year who blew off his friends and missed basketball to audition for the musical with me I got then Gabriella sings a song breaking up with Troy called I got to go my own way I got to go my own way I like that she finishes the last line of the song after she's gotten in the car so like Troy can't hear her anymore Gabriella just gets in the car and her mom's like how is work and she's like I got to go my own way all right hell yeah we are going our own way we're going home I like this song all right the pressure has mounted Troy's about ready to crack which means it's time for the most iconic song of all bet on it I love this song so much great choreography the fact that he's dancing across an Open golf course that is currently in use I don't know if his promotions that he got got entitled him to have a dancing crisis on the golf course but he's really going for it he's going Allin risking getting absolutely beamed by a golf ball oh and now he's in the [Music] wilderness what Troy respectfully I think you have a lot more to worry about than your golf swing that's not what this song is about is it I guess it's kind of vague [Music] hell yeah dude you know powerful lyrics aside I actually have no clue what he's decided on at the end of this song he's kind of just like you can bet on me I'm going to end up on top I got this and it's like what are you actually going to do though are you going to get Gabriella back are you going to do the talent show he's like no I was just going to stand on top of this mountain for the rest of the summer actually no one can be mad at me up here the end of this movie is messed up Sharpe actually turns her actor around she previously got the wild cats banned from the Country Club talent show but she decides you know what they can do their act as long as Troy still does his song with me she agrees to this and then the wild cats turn around secretly remove sharpi from the talent show and stick Troy back in their musical number it's like dude why did you even make her agree to it if you were just going to go behind her back and do it on your own anyway shpe I'm sorry man you got played really we and Gabrielle is here why she forgives him now it's actually not clear at all what Troy did to win Gabriella back they haven't seen each other since she drove away singing Maybe word got to her that Troy was angrily prancing around the golf course and she was like oh God it's gotten too bad I got to step [Music] in the last song of this movie is called All For One um I don't know I kind of feel like they lost a little bit of inspiration at the end here kind of feels like they forgot what moral they were working towards for the end of this one and they were like and we're all together in this one also and the movie ends with Gabriela wooing several times while looking over at Troy for approval and that's the end of the movie and now I'm very excited to watch the third movie but before I do there's something I need to address I feel like there's something deeply wrong in these movies and I'm I feel like I'm finally starting to get a handle on it these movies like they don't really feel like musicals and it took me a while to figure out why so to explain it to you we're going to have to go back to Medieval Europe in a French town in 1518 some 400 people became inexplicably overcome by an urge to dance they did so for weeks on end this dancing plague as it was later coined lasted for months and only ended when participants were either so exhausted that they collapsed or so exhausted that they were dead authorities tried to stop the dancing even hiring musicians to play vigorously to try to help them get all the dancing out of their system this of course made things much worse this event has baffled scientists and historians for years but many believe it could be the result of a particular type of food poisoning yeah crops like Rye can end up growing a type of fungus that basically makes you crazy could it be that this is what's happening at East High in the High School Musical Universe the characters they sing and they dance and at first you might think this is just just like any other musical the characters aren't really spontaneously breaking into song it's more an artistic depiction of how they're feeling but a closer look reveals something shocking well firstly sometimes they definitely are actually singing like at the karaoke party now you might think that A Moment Like get you head in the game is totally different you know that song doesn't really exist within this universe but what is Troy's ringtone in the second movie but how could an entire School become poisoned by a rare fungus this man who convinced us he had relevant qualifications believes it could have been a certain freaky genius girl it could be that by growing a fungus in a lab Gabriel was able to manufacture a sort of singing and dancing craze to control Troy who I'm pretty sure would have never done all of that stuff had he not been under some kind of drug induced hysteria after all Troy is so cool and singing is for weirdos so it could be the fungus or maybe Gabrielle is some kind of [ __ ] witch the High School Musical bonus soundtrack you love High School Musical hits like get you head in the game well now's your chance to own the extended soundtrack featuring songs that didn't quite make the final cut like coach Bolton's crisis what's up guys I'm 16 I'm the new player on the basketball team I'm really excited to play yeah Mr Bolton we know it's you and Gabriel is on the news a little boy drown in the pool oh no a little boy drown in the pool no where was The Lifeguard having a picnic and a preview of the finale song from High School Musical 3 we're all friends together with each other we're all together at the end again and we're friends we're still friends and classmates we go to school together we learned a lesson and now we're going to switch clothes from the guys High School Musical 2 Broke the premiere record that the first High School Musical had just set instead of 7 million viewers this one had 17 million viewers so of course they had to make a third one high school Musical 3 senior Year the only one in the franchise with a subtitle now outside of the fact that they're all seniors in this movie which I can tell by the title of the film I actually know next to nothing about this one I've never seen it yeah I know I made it sound like I was a really big High School Musical fan but by the time the third one came out I was 14 and unlike the first two this one came out in theaters and as a freshman in high school I was much too embarrassed to ask my friends if they would go see a High School Musical movie in theaters with me so I decided it would be way less embarrassing if I waited until I was 30 years old to watch it for the first time in front of millions of people and we're back at East tie baby Zach's playing basketball there's a there's a dog in the crowd is this an airbud crossover Zack's like oh my head's just not in the game tonight can we get in the sub this gold lab comes in and just slam dunks it a couple times the movie opens on the wild cats with their backs against the wall it's the championship game they're behind and there's only 16 minutes left whoa Mr Bolton rocking a middle part that's new Mr Bolton gives a speech about how there's only 16 minutes left 16 minutes left and then they sing a song about how there's only 16 minutes [Applause] [Music] left ooh a song about there being 16 minutes left in a game we're getting very specific with these songs I think they're starting to run out of [Music] ideas this is the last time make Dad proud if I don't then he never will be hell yeah he won the championship game again I'm noticing right away that this movie is like much higher production value than the other two I'm curious to see the budget on this bad boy cuz this movie looks like they actually like lit it the other two just kind of look like they set up cameras and started filming but there's there's lights in this one so now they're having like the biggest high school rager ever and they expect us to believe that they're not insanely Rich this is I'm pretty sure this is in Troy's backyard hey Troy great house bro your room is Way Cool oh thanks yeah you were in my room well yeah I just took a picture yeah I just took a picture of your room man he's a secret agent for the IRS he's like how did your family get so rich well another top secret hiding place you're the second girl I've ever had up here yeah it is top secret I couldn't even see it up there just looks like a regular Tree to me it's here we find out that while Troy is a shoe in for the basketball team at UFA Gabriel has already been accepted to Stanford I sense a conflict in the movie Troy's going to University of Albuquerque to play basketball and Gabriella is going to learn how to create the singularity at Stanford so they sing a song about cherishing the present moment did they like challenge themselves to make a song with no dancing in this one but like what if we just sat for a whole song o now he's up well that was it that was the whole dance no it doesn't work with this song juliard is considering four of you for one available scholarship Sharpe Evans Mr Ryan Evans Miss Kelsey nson and lastly Mr Troy Bolton what since when does that guy have a evil cackle I mean I was surprised too but that guy threw his head back and squealed he submit his name to juliard to some kind of evil plan to get him killed they're trying to come up with some ideas for the spring musical which I'm just now realizing they write every year like they don't do a pre-existing musical they write their own musical every year all of you will create it that's why in the first movie they call Kelsey the composer she literally writes the musical isn't that crazy but to get some ideas Miss Daris asks the seniors about their future your future it's easy it's U OFA Hoops all the way yeah is University of Albuquerque like a really good school for basketball I feel like I've never heard of them before all the basketball players are like we got to get to UFA man it seems like that's just like the closest college that has a basketball team meanwhile Gabrielle is going to Stanford sharp is going to juliar and they're like I don't know we can go play basketball down the street for the record the reason I've never heard of the University of Albuquerque is because it's a Catholic liberal art school that actually um closed in 1986 so I guess these characters live in some sort of alternate Dimension where it stayed open and went on to become a basketball Powerhouse Mr Bolton Mr Bolton yeah uh all of a sudden he doesn't know if he wants to go to juliard or UFA see he really never did care about Gabriella he just wants to sing somebody just let this kid sing just tell him it's okay that song started so abruptly no intro no buildup it's kind of [Music] scary oh this is a a look into some kind of strange alternate future where Troy chose neither basketball or juliard and became a stalker I want that to be how this movie ends Troy choosing between two incredible Futures and instead he just throws his life away like I can't I can't decide I don't [ __ ] know Miss D said that there's only one scholarship there's two of us wait they're doing this to compete for a scholarship not even just a like a place at juliard if I know anything about these two it's that they can both afford to go to juliar why do they need to take the scholarship away from somebody else which one do you think I should wear well I've never been asked to a prom but this almost sounds like an invitation did she say she's never been asked to prom what about last year they were dating last year Troy didn't want to go to prom with her his dad was probably making him run basketball drills the only place you're going Troy is downtown with the ball make sure you bring the ball time for another song about how much Troy and Gabriella love each other there's already like two very sentimental songs between these two they are really setting us up for heartbreak I feel and also just spending like an unnecessary amount of time being like these two are in love okay don't don't forget that they're in love that way when whatever happen happens happens we're going to all be sad all right so that way when Troy picks UFA and Gabriella gets hit by a bus it's going to be sad I think they're going to end up going to the same College they they couldn't possibly end this entire series by being like eh they didn't actually like each other that much they're just going to they're just going to call it quits where's our clothes yo Rocket Man why do I feel like they're about to Haze these kids you know we weren't just given these lockers we had to earn them right right oh they're definitely about to Haze these kids now drink this entire bottle of absolute that'd be a crazy twist in this movie just a little hazing Troy is not better than doing some hazing Oh I thought I heard you I was just making some snacks inside are you guys hungry only if it's your brownies I've had them I've had them I've had them bring those out of here could you take me after school to check out that tuxedo tuxedo for what for prom oh honey if that's what you call an invitation you'll be dancing with yourself he's like okay I wasn't inviting you I'm going to ask Miss Daris then comes a song about getting ready for prom featuring I think the funniest moment in any of these movies weird yo this movie is kind of funny man makes me look weird I like that they're like should I wear pla or Ruffles or a really old suit and it's like no you should wear just go just go to Men's Warehouse and ask for a prom tuxedo should I wear the ugliest thing that you've ever seen now just go tell them you're going to prom and they'll just give you the most generic tux you've ever seen this reminds me of when I was a senior in high school and I was getting ready to go for prom and I sang this song called it's going to be the Night to Remember and me and all my boys got dressed up in weird suits and danced around on the stage this is kind of just like that actually let's Dan am I crazy or is is there like actually too much music in this movie I feel like the plot is kind of moving at a snail's pace cuz every 2 minutes there's a song and it's like here's what's going on right now we're thinking about going to prom we're Troy and Gabriella we like each other also the stakes feel very low right now what am I supposed to be worried about right now Troy is like I don't know what college I want to go to and Gabriella's like I also have choices to make I still have decisions to make too and she has not elaborated and so I don't know what I'm supposed to be worried about now they're at some kind of junkyard just hanging out of the junkyard as if we've always known that this is what they do you see what happens when you do a show you're like five people D but what's so bad about that man we used to come here as kids we'd be 10 people yeah I remember that cuz they used to talk about that in all the other movies how they used to come to the junkyard take it back to the place where you know it all finally the boys are back at the junkyard so that we had a song establishing that Troy and Gabrielle are in love now we have a song establishing that Troy and Chad are friends this kind of reminds me of senior year in high school when I danced around in the junkyard with my best friend and we sang a song about how the boys are back it's weirdly similar actually whoa the junkmen who live in the junkyard are here what's going on what if Troy and Chad turn around and see them and they're like wao what the [ __ ] who are you maybe I'll just stay here next year stay in Albuquerque that makes no sense then why do I always have to make sense why do I always have to make sense why can't sometimes I just say what are you going to uh tell me about this juliard the only dad to ever be pissed off that his son is getting considered for a scholarship at one of the most prestigious colleges in the country hey Troy come on ah damn he's too fast get back here the director for that scene was like okay how could you guys like run away but also walk away at the same time oh no he's going crazy again painful basketball time time to scream and shoot some hoops I like that little pouty dance up the stairs okay Troy for this one you're a pouty toddler now you're a [Music] [Applause] crab man he wasn't kidding he was really going to scream well now that he did it I hope he can figure out what he's going to do now that I got that out of my system I'm for sure going back to U OFA I don't care about singing Miss D I know I'm not supposed to be here aren't you last one out turns off the lights you know she might seem cool about Troy being there right now but as she walks through the school to get back to her car she realizes he totally trashed the place she's like he tore down posters he flipped an entire hallway upside down how did he do this I don't think I can do it Troy uhoh is that a Dr Pepper in the background that looks good I've chosen basketball but I've also chosen theater the University of California Berkeley okay I'll be honest I did not know that that was a that was an [Applause] option they made the Mr Beast logo I like that they're performing for the camera and not for the audience who's here to see them graduate they're just like facing away from the bleachers all their parents are like damn I wish I could see their faces I don't even know which one's my kid now they're all now they're all just going to smile at the camera for the rest of their lives they say we're not going to college baby we're going to stare at this camera forever and that's it that's high school schol musical baby as far as endings go I think they did a decent job with a nearly impossible task it's a Disney Channel movie so it's not like they can just like make everybody break up and go their separate ways at the end of the movie that would be too sad obviously but they also can't make everybody just go to the same college and do the same thing cuz that would be unrealistic so it leaves the door open my only issue is that in doing that they kind of don't really provide any closure feels like they kind of just pushed Troy's decision of what he wants to do with his life further down the road but if you are looking for some closure for Troy I might have something that helps I mentioned earlier that the character of Troy was inspired by one of the writer's real high school teammates but when I read that for the first time on Wikipedia I was surprised to find that that teammate has his own Wikipedia article and that's because that classmate Lyn Swan went on to be a professional football player playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and winning the Super Bowl four times this man is the real life Troy Bolton and that might be the least interesting thing about him in fact he might not even know it really helped you in your game all the things that ballet taught you you applied that to the football field touchdown Pittsburgh did you catch any Flack from your teammates about taking ballet I mean oh always it's a gift from the guys but I'll always remember a Hall of Famer Who Rose to the occasion each time a paa making playmaker but you're playmaker did you ever think maybe I could be both who could defy gravity
