@@hannahjones8139 full on trailer and theatrical release in 2005. Incredible cast, a lot of heart, i sincerely liked it. Im glad it was able to find a home for so many on Disney Channel
I grew up with neglectful parents. It never seemed weird to me that Will's parents knew nothing about him not having powers. You might be onto something.
Nah that was definitely also a trope of the time. For some reason it was seen as funny if the parents were absent. Fairly Odd Parents had Timmy’s parents be like this
It’s not that they didn’t know, they assumed he would get his powers before school started and further established that Will did elude that he had super strength at the very beginning of the movie. I think you didn’t like the movie and you’re nitpicking. It’s a movie made for pre-teens.
18:50 Also, she turned them all into babies and wants to let them grow up to become a supervillain army. She didn't lose her memories after becoming a baby. Let me reiterate: *_she remembers being Royal Pain and reliving her baby years._* And somehow, she doesn't realize _all these _*_Heroes_* will *_ALSO_* _retain _*_all their memories._* Plus, she could've just rebuilt the Pacifier, but instead went out of her way to steal back the original for whatever reason. Bish be crazy on like twelve different levels lmao
Maybe if I rewatched it I would change my mind, but I remember thinking that she was taught her history as she grew up by her sidekick. The idea that they don't lose their memories is very interesting
@@hailey813 The mad science teacher was still cognizant, and the MC's parents remembered being turned into babies and then saved by their son and his friend group, do while there's one case of Superbaby that can be waved off as a potential exception, there's at _least_ two normal IQ people who remember, and they're just the ones I remember commenting on it; background characters also had less verbal reactions.
They remember the experience because it just happened, it’s short-term memory. Childhood amnesia is a gradual process over the course of years. If they had stayed babies, they would have forgotten everything as their brains re-developed.
@@KnuttyEntertainment that’s what I was thinking or at the very most they’d remember their memories as like a past life or something especially if they were convinced that’s what those memories were
Why does everyone remember it? 1. Fire boy with daddy issues 2. Alt girl with purple streaked hair 3. Ramona Flowers herself: Mary Elizabeth Winstead 4. Danielle Panabaker Need I say more??
Yeah! I had to look it up in case I was misremembering it but I was like sky high's not a DCOM is it?? And yeah it's not. I did vaguely remember watching it in theaters
It also didn't just come out "before the MCU hit it's stride" It came out before it existed at all. Also, many of the superhero movies of the time were number 1 movies, so I dont know what he means by not mainstream.
@@jessedalewesthe literally said 2 years before iron man, and around that time X-men movies from fox were out already, which are the ones he said weren’t mainstream. Which they weren’t.
I don't think the addition of powers cheapened Will's arc at all. If anything I think it was another character flaw they added with the "don't let the power go to your head" lesson. Obviously the premise the movie leads with is interesting, but I also thought think it's worth mentioning that he only ever got his powers by standing up for his friends--both the strength and the flying. I think that's precious in its own way. Cliche as fuck, but as a kid I appreciated the fact that he had to """""earn""""" his power.
Idk whether it’s true or not but the original goal for Sky High was to make it into 4 films but it got scrapped for some reason, probably because it didn’t make enough money like they expected. I’ve always hoped that they would bring this back as a tv show that spanned their time in high school, especially after the popularity of the Marvel films and MHA.
Not watched yet… but because Sky High is simply fun and doesn’t try to be anything other than fun. People sometimes underestimate how much value that has.
The guy frozen by the teacher is unfrozen in that same scene, the teacher ask a student with fire or hot powers to thaw him out (you can hear that exange in the back while Will and Gwen talk)... The two creeps frozen by the girl are for sure dead tho.
"I get the vibe this would be a better show then a movie tbh" Haha literally XD the original concept of this was supposed to be a cartoon. But the higher-ups wanted to compete with other superhero movies at the time and forced them to change it. They had 4 seasons planed with their own main arcs, and they were going to adapt those into four movies. So the movie we got is an adaption of the original plan for the first season. And I will never let it go, what could have been~
And yet shows with a similar superhero campy family values type show has been rather popular lately. For example the Thundermans and Henry Danger. Both actually did pretty good so I think it might actually of worked amazing if they thought to retry the pitch now to make it a show
I was also gonna recommend this!! It was basically a proto version of Sky High but with the through-line of accepting yourself not being disrupted! And was that possibly due to budget of actually being a Disney channel original movie so that’s less FX to do on the main character (who we’d see the most)? Can’t confirm but I would totally understand it😂
Bro I think about that scene where he climbs out the window using a fire hydrant hose almost every year since I was a kid. It just felt weirdly Akward and realistic how some kid trying to get someone out a window would look.
The Jester is played by Oscar-winner and Community principal, Jim Rash. Visually, with the green costume and the red hair, and power-wise, Leila is basically Poison Ivy. I love that they made her a good guy.
may I recommend all 4 halloween towns. maybe ignore the 4th where they change the main actress- halloween town is literally the only ones I can tolerate and have gone back to as an adult besides sky high
My brother (who likes pokemon) just saw your background and said "interesting room decoration" and explained the context to me, and now I like it even more lmao
Not just that, he uses a lot of Pokemon music as background music throughout the whole video. As a Pokemon fan, it was like a little game of trying to figure out which Pokemon game the music is from.
I just want to say, I believe the idea is more that he was rewarded for constantly standing up for others as a person with no powers. It lead him to obtaining them.
The only wrong thing you said about Sky High was that it was a Disney Channel Originally Movie, but it came out in theaters. It didn't even air on TV until after it came out on DVD. Funny enough, it aired on Disney Channel second, first time it aired was on ABC Family, if I'm remembering that correctly. 😅 Also, Will was originally not supposed to get abilities, but they changed it during production, so that it wouldn't be TOO compared to another film with a similar concept: Up Up and Away, which actually WAS a Disney Channel Original Movie. It's a cool film, I highly recommend it.
I like your voice. You speak very clearly and your voice cadence is engaging so i can actually pay attention to you. If you liked Sky High and wanna watch more Dcoms then i think Wendy Wu is the closest one i can think of. Aside from that there's Twitches and Halloweentown but those are movie series. 4 Halloweentown movies and 2 Twitches ones i think.
Sky High met a need. It was the MCU experience before there was an MCU. Sky High, Teen Titans, Smart House, and ATLA were core media moments in my childhood.
This is a super specific anecdote but i remember this movie because one of my cousins had it on dvd and it played non stop for a whole night when i slept over once, seeing any mention of it will forever remind me of that night
I personally have so much love for Sky High but my favorite similar movie would have to be Zoom: Academy for Superheroes. It doesn't really hold up at all now but I watched it so much when I was little I can't help but love it.
Whenever people mention Sky High, that movie also comes back from my memory. I was looking though the comments to see if anyone remembered the name of it
I loved this movie as a kid 😄 As for other Disney Channel movies, there's this one I vaguely remember called The Thirteenth Year where a middle school boy finds out he's a mer-man (mermaid man). The main thing I remember is my entire family getting really confused and thinking I said that he turned into a Mormon everytime I tried to explain the plot to them.
I think the ending would’ve been better if they tied up Will with holding up sky high from falling or something. Make it so he was integral to making everything work, but the sidekicks finished off the bad guy. It ties up the themes and message nicely, keeps Will’s position towards “sidekicks” consistent while keeping his physical growth, and gives more focus on the side characters and especially Leila who I would want to be the one finishes Royal Pain in this scenario. Overall good to great, could’ve been amazing (for a disney original).
It’s not a Disney channel original though? It was released in theaters and on dvd. They played it a lot sure but it wasn’t originally just for Disney channel
Great video! I had the dvd as a kid and would watch the extra content and apparently the actress who played Layla and the actor who played Warren had a whole ass relationship behind the scenes, then broke up while still filming. There was hella drama lol but I still love this movie even as 24 year old, no shame.
That explains the insane amount of chemistry the characters had! I always wanted them to end up together, who would chose whiny baby Will when Warren is an option? 🤭
I saw this movie at my cousin’s house who got the dvd from blockbuster late 2005. It’s been living in my head rent free since then. It’s silly but I revisit this movie at least once a year and plan to show it to my kids 😂
As an adult I remember the version of puberty I went through …Didn’t she, the villain, remembered her first round of puberty so if she turned everyone into a baby wouldn’t they remember their first lifestyle? I would be pissed off, she was raising me and lying straight to my face about my moral compass. Why I got deal with my period when I should be menopausal.
I was rewatching Sky High recently and the whole movie takes place in like,, a week, there's no "school year going by" it's like a day (which might make it even more insane tbh)
I think it's food that will git super powers at the scene he did. Because we learn he's a good person that is a hero already. So when he gets powers it's like he deserves them
Wait, it’s a Disney movie? I only remember Sky High from Cartoon Network (I didn’t really watch many movies on Disney Channel either). Interesting it aired on CN, too
I remember when this came out. Before this there was another Disney movie with the same premise… Up Up Away that seems like almost the pilot movie for Sky High. If you haven’t checked it out, do so. I feel like Sky High was an actual movie and Up Up Away was the Disney Channel Original
Not a Disney Channel Original, but you might consider watching Zoom: Academy for Superheroes for a video. I'd be interested to see your thoughts on the movie, considering they both took a similar concept and went two entirely different directions with it. Also, last I checked, Zoom is not looked upon nearly as favorably, (or at all, really) so that usually makes for a fun video... Usually.
Am so sorry to nitpick. With the timing established (puberty/teenage years) when powers kick it will could have been faking his power only for weeks or month, that could exclude neglect. Will was always gonna go to sky high with or without powers one or both of your parents just have to be heroes. Also, they do teach math and other subj in sky high, just with a lot of extracuricular. The scene Will comfronts his dad they had math homework with a little hero spin on it. Popsicle had word problem mathematics, something like if your hero is fly at so so miles per seconds...
I always got the imprssion that the school stopped falling because the generator turned back on, and will have little to do with it. Alot of video seem to place most of the credit on him.
Now I'm questioning if Royal Pain grew up twice, but was aware of her past the entire time, then logically her evil school would fail bc as soon as the kids get their powers they're gonna fight back. It's only if she lost her memory of her past when she became a baby and her guardian told her about who she was, that this master plan could work. But if at any point she's able to actually recall her past, then the plan for the baby superheroes is going to be a huge failure.
Why does everyone remember Sky High? Simple: 1. Every kid (particularly in that mid 2000's MTV rebel, pop punk era) thought that High School was the pinnacle of coolness 2. Every kid dreamt of having a cool superpower It was a perfect setting for capitalizing on children's power fantasy. I was like 5 or 6 when this came out and I perfectly remember watching reruns of it well until I was 10+ yo
The funny part that no one picks up on is that Will's mom has to have some form of super strength to carry around his dad everywhere. Like his dad has to be close to 200lbs and she has zero problems flying him around at high speeds.
There's actually this one Disney Channel original movie called Up, Up, and Away where the main character is a in a family of superheroes but he doesn't have powers and never gets any but still kicks butt. Anyway, I loved Sky High. It's just a fun silly movie 👌
hey actually im super obsessed with this movie and i love you picking up on my number one problem with it: they set up an amazing metaphor for disability and established an unfair society, and it was a super good movie. and then they forgot what they were doing halfway through. and they lost the plot, and in the end they dont even fix hero society. like its just, at the end they give 4 sidekicks an award, and call it a day, and they probably still get bullied the next day at school. also yea there is a lot of random killing of students, and the hero students dont learn math or english or anything bc theyre too cool for that, but the sidekicks do learn like. physics and grammar and stuff in the background, and its kind of implied that they learn it to make up for the incompetency of their heroes. theres a lot of horrific background worldbuilding, i love this film
I remember this movie because i would beg to rent this movie every single Blockbuster weekend lmao. i kid you not, this was my favorite movie of all time. it's so camp i love it.

Also, they do teach math and other subj in sky high, just with a lot of extracuricular. The scene Will comfronts his dad they had math homework with a little hero spin on it. Popsicle had word problem mathematics, something like if your hero is fly at so so miles per seconds...
Cell phones weren't really that common in 2005. Him not having one isn't that strange
So we not gonna mention the voice of SpongeBob was an actor in this movie? He pops up at 19:47
I always got the imprssion that the school stopped falling because the generator turned back on, and will have little to do with it. Alot of video seem to place most of the credit on him.
I am SO surprised by how little subscribers you have. Like WOW, I assumed this was a 100k+ channels video essay, amazing work!!
Every single channel that has a million subs had only 2k at one point
This was a theatrical release. Not a Disney Channel original.
I like that one of the videos recommended to me under this is “literally no one remembers sky high”
it’s about the queer metaphor of being straight = having a good power
My parents are the leaders of a guild in FFXIV and they named The guild Hero Support because sky high affected us so much
Now I'm questioning if Royal Pain grew up twice, but was aware of her past the entire time, then logically her evil school would fail bc as soon as the kids get their powers they're gonna fight back. It's only if she lost her memory of her past when she became a baby and her guardian told her about who she was, that this master plan could work. But if at any point she's able to actually recall her past, then the plan for the baby superheroes is going to be a huge failure.
This man would hate that deku gets powers in mha
The movie told bro that there's only two options for someone with two hero parents. Neither no powers or both powers
I remember because my little brother made us watch it in theaters 3 times
4:06 I see a lot of old crushes up there. I regret nothing.
Why does everyone remember Sky High?
Simple:
1. Every kid (particularly in that mid 2000's MTV rebel, pop punk era) thought that High School was the pinnacle of coolness
2. Every kid dreamt of having a cool superpower
It was a perfect setting for capitalizing on children's power fantasy. I was like 5 or 6 when this came out and I perfectly remember watching reruns of it well until I was 10+ yo
Even as a kid i knew that the protagonist moms flying power wasnt all that great especially if thats all she can do
Loved the energy and commentary :)
The funny part that no one picks up on is that Will's mom has to have some form of super strength to carry around his dad everywhere. Like his dad has to be close to 200lbs and she has zero problems flying him around at high speeds.
Not a Disney Channel movie. It was a theatrical release.
I was so scared of the ending where they're turned into babies. Idk why cause I watched it again when I was older and it was super goofy.
im so satly you missed this as a kid, but im glad youre hip nowwwww
There's actually this one Disney Channel original movie called Up, Up, and Away where the main character is a in a family of superheroes but he doesn't have powers and never gets any but still kicks butt. Anyway, I loved Sky High. It's just a fun silly movie 👌
bro has no business creating such good content. i hope more people find out about moop!
hey actually im super obsessed with this movie and i love you picking up on my number one problem with it: they set up an amazing metaphor for disability and established an unfair society, and it was a super good movie. and then they forgot what they were doing halfway through. and they lost the plot, and in the end they dont even fix hero society. like its just, at the end they give 4 sidekicks an award, and call it a day, and they probably still get bullied the next day at school. also yea there is a lot of random killing of students, and the hero students dont learn math or english or anything bc theyre too cool for that, but the sidekicks do learn like. physics and grammar and stuff in the background, and its kind of implied that they learn it to make up for the incompetency of their heroes. theres a lot of horrific background worldbuilding, i love this film
I remember this movie because i would beg to rent this movie every single Blockbuster weekend lmao. i kid you not, this was my favorite movie of all time. it's so camp i love it.
My family had it on DVD and we moved overseas so if I wanted to watch something in English, it had to be the stuff we owned
Mary elizabeth winstead AND Danielle Panabaker... my Highschool crushes fr fr.
Aside from no one helping those frozen kids, WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?! Like, do their parents not care their kids never came home from school? 😂
