The absolute best way to watch these movies is just like this. One person who has never seen them and has no idea what's going on and one person who knows every detail, every song, and every behind the scenes story who is stoked as hell to be here.
I remember the sing along and dance version of the movies. Watched all of it hahahaha and also the version where they they gave infos on where/how they filmed this and how many hats were Ryan and Kelsey wearing.
Watching Benji’s unadulterated joy at this wholesome ass movie healed my inner child a little bit. I was also a pop up version, sing along, dance along kid and seeing someone else who’s like me was so refreshing. HSM Adults forever!
For Rizzo: Songs in musicals are non-diegetic in that the characters don't hear the music. The songs are used to express the feelings and/or emotion of the character, or they give exposition (greek chorus) or plot like a disney villain song. The songs are used to highlight the important part of the musical. Although sometimes the songs can diegetic in which the characters do hear the songs like soaring and flying. Also when my high school did Big Fish the musical we had two casts. One night the Edward Bloom was sick and couldn't sing so the other Edward ended up preforming that night but his cousin was playing Sandra Edward's wife. And they did have to kiss eachother.
teen beach movie was actively an aware musical movie on the Disney channel and it’s hilarious. Highly recommend if we go down the torture rizzo with musicals route
Personal opinion Corbin Bleu was cute ASF then I as a teenage girl had a massive crush on him, but then I saw him again he's still drop dead gorgeous 😍
When re-watching these movies with a friend I commented "You know you've grown up (and realized you're queer) when your main focus in these movies shifts from Troy Bolton to Ryan Evans as the best character." and honestly that pretty much sums me up 😂 Also Benji in these is literally all of us reliving our childhoods. Also the "But then I became older and I got sadder and I was like...'I feel it.'" LITERALLY KILLED ME WHY IS THAT SO ACCURATE
Benji is me everytime I watch a musical. Only issue is I would annoy the house so I just end up singing in my head. I would love to just sing through a whole musical like Mamma Mia because I know that one by heart.
Zac Efron only sings some parts of some songs, because Drew Seeley was supposed to be Troy and recorded the songs. God I love fun facts that I should not have retained for this many years. I'm loving this already, Rizzo annoyed at Benji for singing along to the literal first song 😂😂
@@linabueno9124 I think there may have been scheduling conflicts or something? Not fully sure what prompted the switch, but I do believe that when they did the HSM tour, Drew Seeley did play the role of Troy for it, as far as I recall.
I heard that Drew sang because Zac didn’t have the singing range yet, he had to train hard to do the singing in HSM2. That’s why Drew toured - because he was the one with the singing range at that point.
@@lenkajf7816I felt bad for Drew, I heard a lot of people were disappointed he was the one on tour and not Zac. But he was the voice so it made more sense. I always thought Drew was better looking too but I think he looked too old to play a high school character. The 10 year age gap between him and Selena Gomez in Another Cinderella Story was kind of odd. I was like “am I supposed to believe this guy is a 17 year old high school student? I don’t but he is cute.” Also Drew had songs on several DCOM soundtracks. HSM, Jump In, and Cheetah Girls 2 are what come to mind.
My theatre camp put on a production of HSM when I was younger. I played the Cello Skater Kid. At the end of that summer, I got an award for "being the only one to say OH in We're All in This Together." Everyone else would often forget to sing the background words like "yeah" and "oh" and there was a time where I was the ONLY ONE to say OH and it was so embarrassing but also hilarious bc it's a huge musical number so just a single lonely dude from the back yelling OH killed everyone.
everyone loves troy and gabriella, but literally no one talks about chad and taylor. she changed him for the better. he literally proved he would do anything for her, and i haven’t seen them break up and get back together like 4 times. plus the actors have so much chemistry on and off camera. (real life they are best friends and see each other so much still). the reason they couldn’t show anything more than holding hands/arms or hugging with them is because at the time corbin was a minor when their characters started dating and monique was legally an adult so they legally couldn’t do anything more with it but they recently made a movie together in 2021 where they play each other’s love interest again and they gave the chad and taylor shippers something we’ve been wanting for forever.
God the energy between you guys is so great. I’m addicted to your videos. Just found y’all yesterday and now I’m binging. How do these two not have more subscribers or views?!?! I’ve never been more entertained!
Man, I'm living the life with this reaction! As a hardcore HSM fan I'm enjoying every moment and absolutely mouthing the words to all songs. Can't wait to be checking the other two reactions right after this one.
High School Musical was one of my favorite movie series as a kid. This was peak Disney in the 2000s and Kenny Ortega was making hit after hit. I'm glad I'm rewatching this series with ya'll again.
I was Benji this entire video singing along. Loved that you guys did this! Rizzo's face during bop to the top was amazing. Fun fact, I had the exact same shirt Gabriella did in her sad song and I would pretend I was dressing up like her when I wore it...
😂😂 this time period in my life was so amazing yet cringey. I had a karaoke hsm game and I’m so glad that social media or recording everything wasn’t that big around that time 😂
The “Angry Dance song” from 2 as I lovingly call it is the one that made me a fan. My friends are Benji and I’m Rizzo with this series! Love you two!! 😃🙌🏾
Benji is me whenever these movies come on, I remember every WORD!! Can't wait for 2, which is in my opinion the superior HSM movie (though they are all magical) And for Rizzo: Not only are Ryan and Sharpay siblings, they're twins! So double the ick factor!
Honestly this is the best way to start 2022! Every single time i'm watching one of your reactions i feel like we're group of friends watching a movie together and i'm there with you, i would give everything to have friends like both of you. Happy New Year's guys, can't wait for another reaction!
The way I was just singing with Benji 😭 I can’t help it the songs will always be catchy now how could anyone think sharpay and Ryan during that dance or song was anything more 💀 I will never get it
Benji is literally my spirit animal when watching musicals!! HSM 2 is by far my favorite...Bet on it, is top tier and I will be joining Benji in singing along! Also side note, I never thought it was weird about Sharpay and Ryan....but it is definitely odd..
Oh, just you wait until I Don't Dance it's AWESOME. Also, they switch clothes after the song and I'm not saying they did the horizontal tango....but I believe they danced
The first song is diagetic but then later songs are non-diagetic. The mixture is one of the key elements that got so many kids invested, in my opinion. It sweeps you into the world.
The movie was filmed as if it were a stage play. So it makes more sense when Sharpay doesn’t see Gabriella in the bathroom and the “curtain” comes up before the ending basketball game scene, etc…
There just needs to be another movie where they go to a five or more year reunion. The guy who said you'll thank me later is a teacher at their previous school. They thank Mr. Blank for putting them on stage together right after doing an amazing and wholesome throwback performance
I am Benji in this, can’t help but sing along. Thanks for helping me start 2022 with a smile. Also incredible coincidence cause one of my favorite podcasts (the Choir Room podcast) just did a 3-part podcast on HSM1. Love that the movies are still getting love.
My high school was possibly the first one to get the rights to the stage play of HMS in fall ‘06… my favorite part was that we added mini video interviews during intermission, which included someone being like “how do they all know the words to these songs? When is rehearsal??” Edit: the “breaking free” vine makes me scream every time 😂
omg I physically can not wait until next week to see benji during bet on it and specifically the bridge of gotta go my own way (also please make sure that rizzo gets to see “huma huma” if it’s not in the version you watch!!)
It’s also ironic that Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale were both on Suit Life of Zack and Cody together for like one or two episodes, and they had to pretend to dislike each other, and then Olesya Rulin and Lucas Grabiel (Kelsey and Ryan) were both in Halloweentown High
I rewatch ""old"" romcoms by watching you guys react to them, and every time you guys make me laugh out loud XD Glad to see yall having fun, it's infectious
Ooof I remember that HSM is big deal to us because Vanessa is half Filipina hahahaha, me and my friends are sooo obsessed with HSM that I even have a deck of cards with their pictures.
I used to play basketball. Some coaches be like that. My dad is also a basketball coach, and on occasion he was my coach. But like he didn't enforce training at home, but sometimes over the summer he brought us down to a stadium to train.
HSM is the best. I loved the pop-ups too, Benji! The songs were so freaking good. Between HSM and Hocus Pocus Kenny Ortega was foundational for my formative years. I'm sorry I missed your premiere but you guys were hilarious as always! Can't wait for next week! Edit: Rizzo nailed the Zac Efron face!
This is so old but i remember before i graduated my senior year they finally allowed phones in school but they would have green areas where they were allowed like the cafeteria and red areas where they would have to be put away like class or something. Also my favorite line “what the heck are those two DOIN IN A TREE!?” Like sir calm down LMAOO 😭
@@PinkPopcast Oh yes! As a child I screamed at the tv "but it IS Ashley Tisdale!!" ahaha Best Crossover episode without actually doing a crossover ever!
I just have to say you guys are my favorite react channel. Your commentary and interactions with each other make me laugh out loud and I rewind to watch the moments again. Thank you for putting time and care into making your videos, I love watching them.
Goddamn… I remembered the sing-along editions… but that just unlocked a core memory when homeboy said there was a “pop-up” edition with behind-the-scenes facts. It really is fcking insane just how viral this whole franchise was, before “viral” was even a slang word.
First react I’ve seen from you two. This was fun. I thought it be way too much energy for me but I ended up having fun watching you both .looking forward to the next one.
We did a rendition of some of the most beloved HSM with our dance school and even though it was fun, it also had me over some of the songs cuz I heard em for like a year while preparing But honestly these movies and songs are so iconic that I sing along anyway Also Sharpay is just a queen, Ashley Tisdale did amazing
Benji singing each song and then not being able to stop is a MOOD! I'm Benji and Rizzo is my family who just wants to watch in peace, but my fake broadway show must go on!
@ThePinkPopcast Rizzo's face and reaction during this movie were AMAZING 😆. Benji, I love how you were torturing Rizzo by continuing to sing throughout the movie lol. He is like I want to comment and your like oh well, I'm singing anyway 😂. I understand. You continue to sing because it's hard not to if you know the songs and grew up with the movie. Great reaction! Benji, btw, do you know any of the choreography from this movie?
You are going to be doing High School Musical 2 and 3 right? What's next? The two Camp Rock movies? The three Cheetah Girls movies? Grease? (ignoring the 2nd one of course for the sake of your ears) Hairspray? The original 80s non-musical Hairspray starring Ricki Lake in her first movie and the drag queen of the century Divine before her untimely death which occurred before she had a chance to start recording the voice for Ursula in the Little Mermaid who was based on her (Ursula that is)? The three Pitch Perfect movies? The two Sister Act movies? The two Miss Congenliality movies (wait those don't count they're not musicals, ignore that one). The two Blues Brothers movies? The 8 Muppets movies or 9 if you include the Muppet Haunted Mansion? - sorry just realised how comparatively few reactions there are to those ones and they need more reactions.
The way I told you how much I was obsessed with HSM it wasn’t even funny!!! Like I watched the sing along, the dance along, and the fun facts! This was my MOVIE! I also liked camp rock too so when y’all will cover this I will love it as well
Missed you guys! Perfect movie to start the new year! I am Benji haha, the whole video singing along, cant wait for HSM2 and 3 :D Happy new year to you two
2 ปีที่แล้ว +1
YES! My favorite trilogy! I actually want all of them a couple of weeks ago with my sister and she had no idea what was going on. I was literally Benji the whole movie. 😂
This made me think about watching this movie randomly when it first came on when I was in my dorm in college. It’s funny how unknown it was at first & then completely exploded. 😹
You're the first youtube reaction channel I have seen that's figured out how to go back to the credits and see the whole thing. I like other's thought once the suggestion screen came on, that was it. All you had to press was back?! 🤯 Loved this reaction as always. Can't wait for the other two and for more Benji singing and Rizzo being generally lost (this wasn't a school trop but how is he going to feel about the whole school getting a summer job situation??)
I found you guys on movies in depth channel and i just love you guys. Benji is my spirit animal in this review. Definitely enjoying all your old reviews.
If Rizzo is mad about them singing about not singing he's gonna LOSE his mind at I Don't Dance. HSM 2 is absolutely the best one
Right!!? 😅😅
As a child I also was bothered by that lol
So true
_“I Don’t Dance”_ is the BEST song in the entire series. I still sing that to myself all the time.
I just wanted to comment the same thing.
If singing about not singing is ironic just wait until "I don't dance" lol
"What the heck are those two DOING IN A TREE?" The delivery cracks me up every single time 😂
The absolute best way to watch these movies is just like this. One person who has never seen them and has no idea what's going on and one person who knows every detail, every song, and every behind the scenes story who is stoked as hell to be here.
😂😂True! It’s the best combo
I remember the sing along and dance version of the movies. Watched all of it hahahaha and also the version where they they gave infos on where/how they filmed this and how many hats were Ryan and Kelsey wearing.
Benji: I should probably stop singing at some point, right?
*immediately continues* 😂😂
This kills me 🤣🤣
“I can’t sit still like a dumbass while you sing the whole movie.” - Rizzo, 2021.
I’m putting that on a shirt 😂
@@PinkPopcast please I'll buy that
"WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE TWO DOING IN A TREE?! >:("
will never not be iconic, I'm sorry
Right!? 😂😂
Benji is adorable. You can see him regressing back to his childhood/teen years while he sings along.
Such a good throwback to a better time lol
Same!!
“I know you didn’t go to highschool, but this is *EXACTLY* what it was like.”
Im just here to confirm this 🙂😂🤣
🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌😂
Watching Benji’s unadulterated joy at this wholesome ass movie healed my inner child a little bit. I was also a pop up version, sing along, dance along kid and seeing someone else who’s like me was so refreshing. HSM Adults forever!
It was definitely a rewatch I didn’t even realize that I needed, so glad the wholesomeness helped you too ☺️☺️☺️
It’s so hard not to sing along to these movies. This and Cheetah Girl songs will never leave my memory 😂
Exactly!
No.no.no. we need to get them to review cheetah girls and old school Disney movies from Disney Channel if they haven't like smart house!
With karaoke from the guys
FUN FACT: Gabrielle’s voice was dubbed in her solo song. the low notes are a completely different voice!!!! 🤣
I noticed that when I rewatched it yesterday 😂
Nah it sounds like her
@@teresaS496 the low voice had a lisp. vanessa hudgens doesn’t have a lisp. Focus at the start when she sings “the outside”
In HSM 2, the song You Are The Music In Me also has vocal dubs for Vanessa. But she does sing most of it. At least Zac sang in all of HSM 2.
I remember reading somewhere that the low notes are Naya Rivera
Rizzo saying Bop to the Top was the worst song was the most blasphemous statement in this video. Gabriella’s song was RIGHT THERE 😂😂😂
😂😂 Right!? I’ve come to love Gabriella’s songs, but I would’ve been much less surprised/offended if he chose not to like her song!
I watch a vocal coach on TH-cam who I love. She hated that song too 🤣
@@filmfangirls9163 Wait are you perhaps talking about Hannah Bayles??
@@dustywisteria8641 I am! I love her!!
“Looking from 👹THE OUTSIDE 👹”

TELL HIM 🙌🙌
Now you gotta watch "Another Cinderella Story" because Drew Seeley, who does Troy's singing in this movie, is the main male role in it.
teen beach movie was actively an aware musical movie on the Disney channel and it’s hilarious. Highly recommend if we go down the torture rizzo with musicals route
Lolol we might give him a break after these but the teen beach movies would be fun!
Yes!!
Yessss
Personal opinion Corbin Bleu was cute ASF then I as a teenage girl had a massive crush on him, but then I saw him again he's still drop dead gorgeous 😍
The soundtrack to this series is like a sleeper code activation for those who grew up with it. It’s almost impossible to not sing along😭
When re-watching these movies with a friend I commented "You know you've grown up (and realized you're queer) when your main focus in these movies shifts from Troy Bolton to Ryan Evans as the best character." and honestly that pretty much sums me up 😂
Also Benji in these is literally all of us reliving our childhoods. Also the "But then I became older and I got sadder and I was like...'I feel it.'" LITERALLY KILLED ME WHY IS THAT SO ACCURATE

Annoy them SING IT OUT!! Haha
Same!!
Idk why people hate on Gabriella’s songs, I love them 💜
When I was younger they just seemed too slow…obviously no longer the case hah
I don’t think I stopped smiling/laughing for the entirety of this video 😂
So encouraging to hear 😊😊
Guys, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!
Zac Efron only sings some parts of some songs, because Drew Seeley was supposed to be Troy and recorded the songs. God I love fun facts that I should not have retained for this many years. I'm loving this already, Rizzo annoyed at Benji for singing along to the literal first song 😂😂

2:23 benji “i should stop at some point right” also benji *continues singing* 😂 freaking killed me
😂😂 there’s like no way to stop once you get started

It's not often that I ACTUALLY laugh out loud but I did several times during this video... can't wait for the sequels!
So glad to hear it!
No fr I laughed several times 😂🤣
these movies were my IDENTITY in junior high school💀💀i love them
❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much 🤗!! Welcome aboard
I can't wait to see the "is Chad/Ryan confirmed" discourse, but I have to start at the beginning! This was great, guys.
Man, I'm living the life with this reaction! As a hardcore HSM fan I'm enjoying every moment and absolutely mouthing the words to all songs. Can't wait to be checking the other two reactions right after this one.
🙌🙌😆
High School Musical was one of my favorite movie series as a kid. This was peak Disney in the 2000s and Kenny Ortega was making hit after hit. I'm glad I'm rewatching this series with ya'll again.
Yes this is Prime Disney!!
Rizzo spends at least 5 minutes being repulsed by brother sister dancing.... 3 minutes later different scene - this movie is wholesome lol
Rizzo during Bop to the Top: 😟🤢
Benji during Bop to the Top: 🕺😩🎤
😂😂😂
the fact that Benji is literally me with anyone i watch HSM with singing every song word for word. BRILLIANT !! hahaha
Lmaoo it’s the ONLY way to watch HSM
I was Benji this entire video singing along. Loved that you guys did this! Rizzo's face during bop to the top was amazing. Fun fact, I had the exact same shirt Gabriella did in her sad song and I would pretend I was dressing up like her when I wore it...

It’s all about singing along lol, not sure if it’s the same but I actually had a HSM karaoke Mic that hooked directly into the Tv 😅
The “Angry Dance song” from 2 as I lovingly call it is the one that made me a fan. My friends are Benji and I’m Rizzo with this series! Love you two!! 😃🙌🏾
Hahah definitely an iconic moment!
Benji is me whenever these movies come on, I remember every WORD!! Can't wait for 2, which is in my opinion the superior HSM movie (though they are all magical)
And for Rizzo: Not only are Ryan and Sharpay siblings, they're twins! So double the ick factor!
Love the show, ignoring the dancing siblings lol
Honestly this is the best way to start 2022! Every single time i'm watching one of your reactions i feel like we're group of friends watching a movie together and i'm there with you, i would give everything to have friends like both of you. Happy New Year's guys, can't wait for another reaction!
That’s our goal, we want this channel to be an extended friend group!! ☺️☺️
The way I was just singing with Benji 😭 I can’t help it the songs will always be catchy now how could anyone think sharpay and Ryan during that dance or song was anything more 💀 I will never get it
Right! The songs are ICONIC and Sharpay and Ryan are perfectly innocent 😇
Benji is literally my spirit animal when watching musicals!! HSM 2 is by far my favorite...Bet on it, is top tier and I will be joining Benji in singing along! Also side note, I never thought it was weird about Sharpay and Ryan....but it is definitely odd..
Looking forward to more singing! *gently sidesteps questioning sharpay and Ryan😅
RIZZO’S cap is actually brilliant! It’s one of my favourite series. And of course, we know the Linda connection.
Oh, just you wait until I Don't Dance it's AWESOME. Also, they switch clothes after the song and I'm not saying they did the horizontal tango....but I believe they danced
But they DONT dance!?? 😅
The first song is diagetic but then later songs are non-diagetic. The mixture is one of the key elements that got so many kids invested, in my opinion. It sweeps you into the world.
So glad to know there’s a word for it :)
WOW!! I DID NOT know that that guy was their choreographer!! I swear, I DID NOT KNOW till now!! Learn something new everyday! 🤔😊
🕺🏼💃🏽
The movie was filmed as if it were a stage play. So it makes more sense when Sharpay doesn’t see Gabriella in the bathroom and the “curtain” comes up before the ending basketball game scene, etc…
Good to know, that helps lol
what the HECK are those two DOING IN A TREE!?!?!
He steals the film with that one line🤣💀
😂😂😂
Also, the fellow with the Cello was arrested for robbing a pizzeria, which is less fun, but still a fact...
😂😂
Man. That sucks, I liked that character
There just needs to be another movie where they go to a five or more year reunion. The guy who said you'll thank me later is a teacher at their previous school. They thank Mr. Blank for putting them on stage together right after doing an amazing and wholesome throwback performance
YES!! This is what we need! Lol
I am Benji in this, can’t help but sing along. Thanks for helping me start 2022 with a smile.
Also incredible coincidence cause one of my favorite podcasts (the Choir Room podcast) just did a 3-part podcast on HSM1. Love that the movies are still getting love.
HSM deserves ALL THE LOVE FOREVER!!
My high school was possibly the first one to get the rights to the stage play of HMS in fall ‘06… my favorite part was that we added mini video interviews during intermission, which included someone being like “how do they all know the words to these songs? When is rehearsal??”
Edit: the “breaking free” vine makes me scream every time 😂
Haha that’s so cool! I wish we had done HSM my while I was in HS
Rizzo’s Get Your Head on The Single Ladies is soo GOOODDD😭😂👌😮💨🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤍🤍👌🤭🤍
omg I physically can not wait until next week to see benji during bet on it and specifically the bridge of gotta go my own way (also please make sure that rizzo gets to see “huma huma” if it’s not in the version you watch!!)
Hahah definitely gonna have a humahuma moment ;)
It’s also ironic that Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale were both on Suit Life of Zack and Cody together for like one or two episodes, and they had to pretend to dislike each other, and then Olesya Rulin and Lucas Grabiel (Kelsey and Ryan) were both in Halloweentown High
I rewatch ""old"" romcoms by watching you guys react to them, and every time you guys make me laugh out loud XD Glad to see yall having fun, it's infectious
Ooof I remember that HSM is big deal to us because Vanessa is half Filipina hahahaha, me and my friends are sooo obsessed with HSM that I even have a deck of cards with their pictures.
We actually didn’t even realize that! And HSM cards sound amazing lol I gotta get some
@@PinkPopcast the cards are so cute I didn't even use it hahahaha
I used to play basketball. Some coaches be like that. My dad is also a basketball coach, and on occasion he was my coach. But like he didn't enforce training at home, but sometimes over the summer he brought us down to a stadium to train.
I don’t think I could’ve dealt with my dad as my coach in HS lol
Benji, I know every word to Getcha Head in The Game because it is so dramatic and hilarious. The basketball choreography is *chef's kiss*
It’s great I just always listen to the other songs 😅
Me and my cousins wondered why Zac didn’t sing in HSM because before HSM2 we had both seen Zac in Hairspray where he did his own vocals in that movie
I had a cd alarm clock growing up. Every single morning, I woke up to the High School Musical soundtrack. Those were the good old days 😭
That’s awesome!
This really made me laugh. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Love back 🥰🥰
Was singing right along with you. Every word to every song.
I love that!! ❤️❤️
HSM is the best. I loved the pop-ups too, Benji! The songs were so freaking good. Between HSM and Hocus Pocus Kenny Ortega was foundational for my formative years. I'm sorry I missed your premiere but you guys were hilarious as always! Can't wait for next week!

Totally fine, hopefully you’ll get to join us for the next one :) but yes Kenny Ortega is the best !!
This is so old but i remember before i graduated my senior year they finally allowed phones in school but they would have green areas where they were allowed like the cafeteria and red areas where they would have to be put away like class or something. Also my favorite line “what the heck are those two DOIN IN A TREE!?” Like sir calm down LMAOO 😭
Aww her being sad that it’s the last day of filming was too cute🥲
Benji! We do karaoke for New Years every year at my house! Even got engaged during karaoke last year! So much fun!
Omg thats so cute!! I definitely hope I get a karaoke proposal also 🤞🤞 that was probably such a great moment for y’all 😊😊
It’s physically impossible not to sing the songs! 🔥
not them starting hsm on my birthday, love that for me 👉🏼👈🏼
Happy birthday!!
@@PinkPopcast omg thank you so much!!!!! love you guys 😊🙏🏼💘
Underrated song - What I've been looking for. Sharpay, Ryan
So many people hated 'bop to the top' but everyone screamed out loud when this song came in suite life of Zack and cody 😂
OMG that episode drove me INSANE!! When they kept saying Ashley Tisdale doesn’t look like Ashley Tisdale!!
@@PinkPopcast Oh yes! As a child I screamed at the tv "but it IS Ashley Tisdale!!" ahaha
Best Crossover episode without actually doing a crossover ever!
@@kurikuri6683 So good but SOO frustrating lol
@@PinkPopcast True
I too thought he looked better in the second movie when he got a haircut but never really had a crush on him tbh. Loved him with Vanessa tho
As a super fan, I relate to Benji. I cannot wait to see you react to the others!
Woot woot 🙌🙌
I just have to say you guys are my favorite react channel. Your commentary and interactions with each other make me laugh out loud and I rewind to watch the moments again. Thank you for putting time and care into making your videos, I love watching them.
Thanks so much!! That is so great to hear and really encourages us to keep going ☺️☺️ we really appreciate your support!!
RIZZOS Zac sad face puppy look is amazing!!
He’s very proud of it lol
I love how this high school championship game is being played at one of the schools and not at a neutral site.
26:00 the fact that a musical summer camp that I went to when I was like 9 did this number and then followed it with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” 💀
Love you guys. Had so much fun watching this one. Benji is me trying to contain myself watching a musical with any other human haha
It’s basically impossible not to sing along haha
I was singing my HEART OUT with Benji! Benji I’m with you babe!!
YESSS!! See you at the next one, we got more singing to do! 😂😂
As a homeschooler, I didn’t get a phone till 18 either 😂 I guess it is a homeschool thing
Noooooo that’s hilarious #HomeschoolForLife
Did anyone else sing with Benji every time? 😂 we need a karaoke episode with Benji
Oomg that would be so fun 🤩
Goddamn… I remembered the sing-along editions… but that just unlocked a core memory when homeboy said there was a “pop-up” edition with behind-the-scenes facts.
It really is fcking insane just how viral this whole franchise was, before “viral” was even a slang word.
First react I’ve seen from you two. This was fun. I thought it be way too much energy for me but I ended up having fun watching you both .looking forward to the next one.
Rizzo mortified by the bop to the top
😅😅
I can honestly watch Benji sing all the HSM songs all day and Rizzo just watch Benji too lol
😆😆😆
We did a rendition of some of the most beloved HSM with our dance school and even though it was fun, it also had me over some of the songs cuz I heard em for like a year while preparing
But honestly these movies and songs are so iconic that I sing along anyway
Also Sharpay is just a queen, Ashley Tisdale did amazing
You guys make me feel like I'm facetiming two friends and I love it
Omg we literally love to hear that!! 🥰🥰
@@PinkPopcast love you Benji 🥰
Benji singing each song and then not being able to stop is a MOOD! I'm Benji and Rizzo is my family who just wants to watch in peace, but my fake broadway show must go on!
Hahah we just know that life is a performance 🎭
One of my Favorite movies of all time. All hsm are amazing
Explaining the ski resort family trip has me in stitches 😂🤣💀⚰️
I was laughing so much despite having a bad cold and waiting patiently for the sequel reaction
Laugh through the pain :))
@ThePinkPopcast Rizzo's face and reaction during this movie were AMAZING 😆. Benji, I love how you were torturing Rizzo by continuing to sing throughout the movie lol. He is like I want to comment and your like oh well, I'm singing anyway 😂. I understand. You continue to sing because it's hard not to if you know the songs and grew up with the movie. Great reaction! Benji, btw, do you know any of the choreography from this movie?
had this soundtrack... mom bought it for me at Best Buy lolol
Good mama moment!
You are going to be doing High School Musical 2 and 3 right?
What's next?
The two Camp Rock movies?
The three Cheetah Girls movies?
Grease? (ignoring the 2nd one of course for the sake of your ears)
Hairspray?
The original 80s non-musical Hairspray starring Ricki Lake in her first movie and the drag queen of the century Divine before her untimely death which occurred before she had a chance to start recording the voice for Ursula in the Little Mermaid who was based on her (Ursula that is)?
The three Pitch Perfect movies?
The two Sister Act movies?
The two Miss Congenliality movies (wait those don't count they're not musicals, ignore that one).
The two Blues Brothers movies?
The 8 Muppets movies or 9 if you include the Muppet Haunted Mansion? - sorry just realised how comparatively few reactions there are to those ones and they need more reactions.
That’s enough to last through the year lol
The way I told you how much I was obsessed with HSM it wasn’t even funny!!! Like I watched the sing along, the dance along, and the fun facts! This was my MOVIE! I also liked camp rock too so when y’all will cover this I will love it as well
Omg that’s the best haha I was late to the party for HSM 1 but it hard for me too when I finally saw it 🥰🥰
Missed you guys! Perfect movie to start the new year! I am Benji haha, the whole video singing along, cant wait for HSM2 and 3 :D Happy new year to you two
YES! My favorite trilogy! I actually want all of them a couple of weeks ago with my sister and she had no idea what was going on. I was literally Benji the whole movie. 😂
Lolol good thing she had such a competent guide in you
This made me think about watching this movie randomly when it first came on when I was in my dorm in college. It’s funny how unknown it was at first & then completely exploded. 😹
You're the first youtube reaction channel I have seen that's figured out how to go back to the credits and see the whole thing. I like other's thought once the suggestion screen came on, that was it. All you had to press was back?! 🤯
Loved this reaction as always. Can't wait for the other two and for more Benji singing and Rizzo being generally lost (this wasn't a school trop but how is he going to feel about the whole school getting a summer job situation??)
Hahah so excited for the next two they’re gonna be great! Yea and I don’t see How people don’t understand how a back button works 😂
I found you guys on movies in depth channel and i just love you guys. Benji is my spirit animal in this review. Definitely enjoying all your old reviews.
Hahah yes! Thank you!
Watching someone who’s not musically inclined think siblings dancing is sexual is funny lol
