This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart, not just because it’s the best one but also because it’s the last movie I watched in cinemas with my entire family before my dad died
High School Musical never really helped me through high school (school in Brazil makes the whole experience quite different tbh) but right now, graduating college? Gosh, I relate so much to the fear of "what's next?" and "I wish I could control my own future"... So yeah HSM is an amazing franchise that should have a better reputation than just "kid's movies".
Same, in my country HSM didn't help us "survive" High School - it made every kid fall in love with the "American dream" just to experience yellow buses and school which looks like the cafeteria from HSM or overall their whole building and lockers in the hallway...that's literally the first and main reason of exchange high school programs' raising popularity in my country in the 2010s. Not education, because that was secondary (or they didn't think about fancy colleges like Ivy League) - THE school, LIKE THE ONE from HSM - everyone wanted to attend an American high school, not the European one - even if they didn't like the USA as a country for their own different reasons, etc - they all wanted this school. Literally, this Trilogy started American obsession.
@@Gin_isnotmyname Not sure how to explain, but like... The experience that we see on tv shows with the lockers, cheerleaders, basketball teams/american football teams, AP classes, driving classes in school (that's crazy to be), yellow buses, etc. That doesn't exist in Brasil. It's very different. Like my school had the system where the students changed classes instead of teachers and we had homerooms, but that's not normal here. Usually, the class stays put and the teachers change rooms. This also changed recently, but when I was in school we only had classes in the morning (7 AM to 12:20 PM) and there's 3 periods you could have class: Morning, afternoon or night for high school students who work (or not, my old middle school only offered high school classes in the night period). Now we have integral classes (morning and afternoon only). Also, something that's quite different is that most students here in Brasil love PE classes, because we get to play games like Football and volleyball (I used to play chess with my teacher for extra points in my final grade). That's not all ofc, but its all I can think about now.
@@Gin_isnotmyname Also, relating to the whole "what's next" thing. There's not much pressure here in Brasil for us to go straight to college after school. Like I said, some high school students are already working during school and we have plenty of programs like SISU (which grants students places in public universities -- which are the best ones in Brasil), Prouni (Which grants free or 50% scholarship rides to paid universities in Brasil), FIES (which helps you finance your student loans and lets you pay it in many years instead of all at once), tests like FUVEST, UNICAMP and VUNESP that can get you into the three best universities in SP/Brasil and in all of those there's no age limit, so if you want to you can take those tests right after you leave school or 20 years later. So there's not a lot pressure towards that end. It's more after you're done with University that things like "what now?" come to mind.
The bully scene went right over my head back when I watched it. I was only about eight or something, but looking at it now, it's horrible. I mean just imagine for a second those weren't two guys, but girls. That would've NEVER gotten through.
Would consider ever reviewing Lemonade Mouth? It was sorta my Highschool Musical, plus Hayley Kiyoko is there. I'd be interested to see your thoughts on it!!
As a class of 2022 I feel every moment of this movie and the fun thing is we were a graduation outfit during my senior chorus last concert. I love every minute of it and the excitement when we all graduate. Ugh 😣 it was so fun and seeing all ur friends moving on to college or life was sad but a great feeling.
@@growingupwithdisney she wanted to be explicitly asked out which isn’t a big ask it’s basically the thing to do for dances, it wasn’t the lack of grand gesture. Also Chad’s character is more relaxed and casual while Taylor is more type-a, so while to him it may not seem like a big deal to ask since they mutually like each other, Taylor wanted to be asked formally. Neither is wrong for that imo
11:40 look at the wall quote behind Sharpay, "Think Wrongly if you please, but in all cases think for yourself" Something Disney would never promote today😆
Bro-hieman rapsedoy has got to be one of the best bro related puns i have ever heard! Also I couldn't help but think with all the Pirate joy that was in this video that Negative should do a video on Our Flag Means Death. I know its a bit more mature than the usual content reviewed but I couldn't help think that this would be a great series to take a look at. Plus you know Pirates!!!
@10:50 they were theatre sets and costumes instead of real locations because those musical scenes are the literal show they are putting together for the end of the film, it's deliberate
He's talking about the Sharpay Movie, that's his next HSM video. I am hoping he does get to do the TV show, the upcoming season is when they are gonna become nostalgic in a way.
I agree with the college thing. I started dating my bf like, 2 months before i had to graduate from high school. I know he only took the chance to ask me out because he thought i was gonna go to the college in our town. But, I got a good scholarship to a college far from home and i just couldn't miss that amazing opportunity. We decided to keep dating and go long distance. It was awful. I don't recommend long distance to anyone, but i don't regret it. Now we're living together and it could not be any better lol. We got really lucky, I'll say that haha
Shoutout to my mothers Aunt who took me there when i was 9 You may be a mess, but i still love you because you helped me indulge in my musical fantasies
I've said this before to other people but I was in high school for every single HSM movie and it was very bittersweet to see it end but I was in my 3rd year of high school. My junior year. Preparing to go to college and leave all of my friends behind and I honestly still have a hard time letting go because of it. Life moved on for my friends and I feel like I'm still in the same spot from 2010. HSM is such a fun series of movies that I love revisiting to kind of help me get my mind at ease and to also let out a good cry that I need.
Looooving the upper black lip look, I'm glad you're actually wearing it as a look and not just an homage! The video is also great btw, your editing has improved too!
Just started the video but completely distracted by the fact that I have that shirt and just wore it yesterday. I love all of Negative’s looks so us owning the same shirt must mean I’m getting better at fashion or something
I watched the movie in theaters as a kid and I still remember every little detail. Though I wasn’t in high school at the time, it encouraged me to pursue music and theater and also hold onto my passion for sports at the time.
Just wanted to share a little story since you mentioned high school sweet hearts normally don't end up together. My sister and her husband met in high school, became friends, started dating their junior year, and then were together for 8 years before they finally got married.
This movie came out the year after I graduated high school and as someone who was a theater kid, growing up with HSM in it's hay day... it was an EVENT! I know you're doing Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure next but I REALLY hope you cover High School Musical: The Musical: The Series afterward. Watching it makes me feel like a kid again and brings me back to my time with my friends in theater. Also the cast is so damn talented!
“What’s JULIARD?” OOOOOOOOOF there was that drama a few years back, where some guy in a one-room apartment practiced singing a lot, and recorded himself, applied to JULIARD the big art school, and they rejected him, so the Internet BLEW up and started dogpiling on Juliard’s Twitter and whatever. Also the name “JULIARD” sounds fancy
As a class of 23, I’m going through the it’s your last year of grade school Debacle, that is quite stressful. This video definitely brought some joy to this moment :)
I watched every movie on it's premiere or opening night, they helped me through alot of HS. I loved the music and choreography. The days when HSM was hype were some of the best times ever, the vote for Miley in the second movie, the debut of the first one came after a brand new episode of Zach and Cody, I remember cause I was a huge fan of the show. Once I seen Ashley Tisdale was going to be in it I stayed up past my bedtime to watch it. Nobody knew how big this was going to be. It sort of came out of nowhere when the first film dropped. It was just another DCOM ( Disney Channel Original Movie for those who don't know.) and it left me with good memories. Watching this movie in theaters honestly made me cry cause I was just entering being a teen when it ended cause it was the end of an era fr.
I remember when the first one came out, I wasn't able to finish the rest, because it was my bedtime. It felt like forever for the movie to premiere again so I could finish it.
Yk at this point watching your videos just feels like listening to your older sibling Either that or u remind me of that awsome cousin that I'd stick with at a family reunion
I graduated high school in 2018 and I watched hsm3 the night before graduation. let me tell you, I was crying because I gone through everything and that last step which was graduation was actually happening. It was so relatable, I just wished everything was back to the beginning of senior year. I was never the type to hate on high school. Yes high school was straight hell but it was the friends that I made that made it all better.
3:13 Yeah, I have the same issue. The side of my family I still communicate with is tall across the board. I have a 6' 5" uncle, for example. Though, I do measure up to some of them. When I pull myself out of my depression and leave home, I remember how tall 5'10" is compared to the average female or feminine body type.
I never saw the first two HSM movies but I was in year 11 (second-last year of school here in Australia) and we were about to go into our final year (it came out during our summer holidays here in November/December). All the girls in my group wanted to see this at the movies. I had absolutely no context, but I tell you what, it was super easy to follow and it was perfect for us considering we were going into our final year. Also the music was banger.
The song in the junkyard was my absolute jam when i was a kid, i was dancing my little tomboy heart out every time! Edit: Scream is an ultimate adolescence anthem
Ok listen o, even before I had the vocabulary I knew Ryan and Kellesy was just gay solidarity. In my mind it was obvious they had a scene where they agreed to go as "friends" to get people off their back and them singing together was just the end of that scene
On that last end about updating it, I feel the show does that well!! It deals with social media, anxiety, figuring out identity, breakups, crushes, college, moving, and quite a bit more. I know you likely won't end up covering it, but I'd honestly enjoy it because it's a show that i hold very close to my heart and i find it weirdly relatable. I know it has a stupid title, and it starts out rough, but it does get better. S2 finale sucks though, but s3 rectifies it well.
High School Musical 3 is 15 years old! Everyone's facing the pressure and reality of graduating and found to prom and the film doesn't shy away from relatable dilemmas kids face whether it's deciding which college to go to, saying goodbye, or worrying if they'll still stay in touch afterwards Maybe our hearts doesn't know what's in high school, we all wish it would all slow down, there will always be an emphasis on collective action and importance of group effort over individualism The songs are way more catchy, more toe tapping, the sets are sparkling with rich detail and colors, the actors are still so charismatic (they're not bad actors even if they're playing one-dimensional characters), and this certainly feels like a closing chapter of a phenomenon It is after all a thank you note to the fans I suppose on another level that the movie is overwhelmed by so many subplots it's hard to tackle them all, then again the fans want to soak up every minute before it ends And I won't lie I was in tears at several points even the ending which is hard to believe it's all over Again it's an over exaggerated version of high school and cheesy but entertains still with its musical energy It's a series that celebrates talent, enthusiasm, loyalty, and love not just for tween audiences Plus it acts as a nice time capsule with a big budget My second best movie of 2008!
Interesting how the 3 movies are not only about the 3 years of high school. But the first is about the beginning of the school year, the second is about the middle of the year, and the 3rd... You get what I mean.
This movie came out my senior year of high school and my senior year was garbage (for a slew of reasons), so I second fully pursuing the scholarship before anything else. A relationship is nice, but it may not be forever, and you can't set yourself aside for someone elses pretty words.
After Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, can you review HSMTMTS? The kids are super talented and I think the show is actually done really well as a tribute to hsm (season 1 at least) while still being its own thing!
They actually tried to do a fourth movie for this series, it would be known as once a wildcat it never panned out from what I know but I would love one more movie for this series
incorporated never watched these movies as a kid because I wasn't interested in them but now that I'm older, the movies now have a nostalgic vibe for me, and I like the second movie the best because of the story that is being told and how the music is incorporated into the film. Also, your videos are amazing, and I hope you reach 350k!!! Also, I totally understand that I feel short but I'm somewhat tall I still feel short in stature when I look at my classmates or my co-workers.
Akfjgsoj pirate history! So excited to hear about that, that is my partner's area of interest and something he knows a GREAT deal about. He recently released a rock song about the flying gang
I get being physically apart sucks, hell, my partner is over a border so when that snapped shut earlier during this pandemic, it suuucked... but also, the internet exists. I was having long-distance relationships during Dial-Up Internet times. I don't see why going to different colleges would be a break-up event, even before the internet. Granted, I'm from two relatively small countries, but STILL - I'm not sure I've ever seen a depiction of "It's just X amount of time; we'll plan around that and try to visit each other as much as possible, and then move closer to each other once we've graduated". Like... communication is a big part of relationships = do they communicate through smell and pheromones? Is that why constant physical proximity is so important??
I graduated in 2021 and I both feel upset that I didn’t get the high school experience everyone else before me got because of covid. But I also feel more stunted than usual. I’m still in the same boat as Gabriella and Troy as a junior in college. Everything feels unclear and it’s really draining everything out of me. But at least I know it’s somewhat normal.
Lol legend I no longer feel alone with my lack of high school parties or the lack of prom. Been to an after prom once, but thankfully there was no dancing
I’m like 2 seconds in the video and I just have to say… you look STUNNING that outfit is giving and you pull off the black upper lip SO WELL ✨just slay ✨
The third one felt the most mature to me out of all three movies. It was a good cap off to the franchise, and, the progression of it from the first to the third shows. I really liked that. Yeah, there are some things that could've been better. But that aside, I still love these movies to this day. Especially the last one. It's the best one in my opinion and definitely my favorite.
what really irked me abobut troy and Julliard was like. ok at the time i wasn't rlly paying that much attention so i didn't know the scale of Gabriella going to Stanford because i was 9 and not American but in my mind she was always more talented than Troy?? so like why wasn't she involved in the theatre school rivalry?? but realistically Ms Darbus probably considered Gabriella (this is my headcanon because there's no way she would not have noticed) because of how talented she is but she also recognizes the path that Gabriella is on. which is Stanford
I still remember watching it like it was yesterday. We begged our dad to take us to the movie theater and reluctantly he did however he went to watch the latest Saw movie and begrudgingly picked us up later by the movie display 😅
“And if you watched the second video, and I assume you did cause why would you start with the third video firsr wha-“ You didnt need to call me oht like thag
When I saw this I thought "ah, the awful third years I never meet in high school" and I was right since grade 5-8 were just bad. I wasn't willing to go to juvey for standing up for myself.
3:30 - "That's what she said"... said by a fellow enby always gets a like from me. As to being tall, I'm a solid 5'3". I am short, and actually was taller than some of the people on my high-school's basketball team. Prom, I almost didn't go. But my parents actually forced me to go. Julliard is one of the prestigious big-name Music-and-Theater schools. It's only slightly less-selective than Stanford. (Julliard has an 8% acceptance rate, with an 88% graduation rate... while Stanford has a 5% acceptance rate and a 94% graduation rate.) It may not have been acceptable in 2008, but I experienced it personally even as late as 2007. By 2008, I was apparently popular enough to not get bullied because the people who bullied me before wanted to copy off of me so they could pass their classes (some of whom needed to get high enough grades that they were allowed to stay on the basketball team). TLDR: It wasn't acceptable to be done, but it did happen IRL. Which does actually make Troy kind of an asshole.
7:34 so that's where my maid fetish comes from! But seriously, I really love what you did with this movie, I never analyze this movie this way... and the only way I was able to compare isnHigh School Musicak Trilogy with the original Halo Trilogy, where John is John Bolton, not vice-versa. Don't judge me, I was a huge fan of both at that time and at some point, they got mixed in my mind. But the songs were Zac sang, I really felt them because it was a complicated time for me back then.
This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart, not just because it’s the best one but also because it’s the last movie I watched in cinemas with my entire family before my dad died
Wow
sorry for your loss, and I'm glad that you have such good memories to look back on
Oh
I'm sure his spirit has been with your family since he died, may he and the lord continue to be with you
I think this one is the worst in the trilogy but I am sorry for your loss :(
It’s always fascinating to me when a Disney channel franchise somehow makes it big enough to get a theatrical release.
It’s happened more than once?
@@Skinniest_Kween yeah, with Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montana
@@BugsyFoga oh, yeah. Forgot about those.
There’s also DuckTales the movie and Teacher’s Pet the Movie.
Completely separate note - but I'd genuinely love to watch a summary video about why pirates happened.
Same, I'm too lazy to research it on my own
yes

Taylor's not mad that Chad didn't ask big enough, she's mad that he just assumed that she would go with him.
No she wasn’t, she said if that’s an invitation, you’ll be dancing with yourself. Basically saying she wanted more

@10:50 they were theatre sets and costumes instead of real locations because those musical scenes are the literal show they are putting together for the end of the film, it's deliberate
I love the second movie (mostly because of it's music), but it's hard to deny that the spectacle of this movie makes it iconic
He's talking about the Sharpay Movie, that's his next HSM video.
I am hoping he does get to do the TV show, the upcoming season is when they are gonna become nostalgic in a way.

Recently, I've been literally CRAVING ur content i love ur commentary and perspectives sm
I remember watching this when I was young and just enjoying it. But now I rewatched it and cried my eyes out realizing I’m graduating next year
The song in the junkyard was my absolute jam when i was a kid, i was dancing my little tomboy heart out every time!
Edit: Scream is an ultimate adolescence anthem

High School Musical 3 is 15 years old!
Everyone's facing the pressure and reality of graduating and found to prom and the film doesn't shy away from relatable dilemmas kids face whether it's deciding which college to go to, saying goodbye, or worrying if they'll still stay in touch afterwards
Maybe our hearts doesn't know what's in high school, we all wish it would all slow down, there will always be an emphasis on collective action and importance of group effort over individualism
The songs are way more catchy, more toe tapping, the sets are sparkling with rich detail and colors, the actors are still so charismatic (they're not bad actors even if they're playing one-dimensional characters), and this certainly feels like a closing chapter of a phenomenon
It is after all a thank you note to the fans
I suppose on another level that the movie is overwhelmed by so many subplots it's hard to tackle them all, then again the fans want to soak up every minute before it ends
And I won't lie I was in tears at several points even the ending which is hard to believe it's all over
Again it's an over exaggerated version of high school and cheesy but entertains still with its musical energy
It's a series that celebrates talent, enthusiasm, loyalty, and love not just for tween audiences
Plus it acts as a nice time capsule with a big budget
My second best movie of 2008!
Interesting how the 3 movies are not only about the 3 years of high school. But the first is about the beginning of the school year, the second is about the middle of the year, and the 3rd... You get what I mean.
I will always remember seeing this in the theaters with my than best friend in second grade and her grandma and it’s still a special memory 💜💜💜
I watched High School Musical 3 in a movie theater with my dad I loved the movie and the songs. The movie was so good.
This movie came out my senior year of high school and my senior year was garbage (for a slew of reasons), so I second fully pursuing the scholarship before anything else. A relationship is nice, but it may not be forever, and you can't set yourself aside for someone elses pretty words.
When i was a kid highschool musical 3 was the first highschool musical movie i watched, so i have a lot of nostalgia for this movie
I admit i almost didn't listen to anything Negative said during the "Scream" scene because i was singing the song in my head through that whole bit
The first, and likely last, time a film franchise started on TV Screens and finished off on the silver screen.
After Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, can you review HSMTMTS? The kids are super talented and I think the show is actually done really well as a tribute to hsm (season 1 at least) while still being its own thing!
9:07 THATS A CRIME!!!!
Yaaassss!! Loved everything about this video and the commentary!!
They actually tried to do a fourth movie for this series, it would be known as once a wildcat it never panned out from what I know but I would love one more movie for this series
High School Musical 4: East Meets West. I remember that.
incorporated never watched these movies as a kid because I wasn't interested in them but now that I'm older, the movies now have a nostalgic vibe for me, and I like the second movie the best because of the story that is being told and how the music is incorporated into the film. Also, your videos are amazing, and I hope you reach 350k!!! Also, I totally understand that I feel short but I'm somewhat tall I still feel short in stature when I look at my classmates or my co-workers.
There's also a spin off movie called sharpay's fabulous adventure on Disney + idk if that's what your talking about at the end but its a thing!
Akfjgsoj pirate history! So excited to hear about that, that is my partner's area of interest and something he knows a GREAT deal about. He recently released a rock song about the flying gang
I get being physically apart sucks, hell, my partner is over a border so when that snapped shut earlier during this pandemic, it suuucked... but also, the internet exists. I was having long-distance relationships during Dial-Up Internet times.
I don't see why going to different colleges would be a break-up event, even before the internet. Granted, I'm from two relatively small countries, but STILL - I'm not sure I've ever seen a depiction of "It's just X amount of time; we'll plan around that and try to visit each other as much as possible, and then move closer to each other once we've graduated".
Like... communication is a big part of relationships = do they communicate through smell and pheromones? Is that why constant physical proximity is so important??
I love your outfit (ik not related but just thought you should know)
This movie came out just 4 months after I graduated high school. I was in my first full year of college when it came out in theaters.
This is the movie I've never seen and never heard anyone talk about and... It was the least re-aired in Canada
This is the earliest I’ve ever been!
I graduated in 2021 and I both feel upset that I didn’t get the high school experience everyone else before me got because of covid. But I also feel more stunted than usual. I’m still in the same boat as Gabriella and Troy as a junior in college. Everything feels unclear and it’s really draining everything out of me. But at least I know it’s somewhat normal.
Lol legend I no longer feel alone with my lack of high school parties or the lack of prom. Been to an after prom once, but thankfully there was no dancing
loving the shego inspired makeup
I’m like 2 seconds in the video and I just have to say… you look STUNNING that outfit is giving and you pull off the black upper lip SO WELL ✨just slay ✨
This was my favorite high School musical movie high School musical 3 with the best one in my opinion
I went back to watch the first two videos. Time to watch the 3rd!
i ended up cutting the neck and sleeves off, but I have that shirt. Absolutely adore it.
"his brohemian rhapsody"... im so definitely using that
You know you get old when you see a kid whose Shirt isn't covering his belly and your brain goes immidiatly "hopefully he doesn't geht a cold"
The ultimate series complete!
The third one felt the most mature to me out of all three movies. It was a good cap off to the franchise, and, the progression of it from the first to the third shows. I really liked that. Yeah, there are some things that could've been better. But that aside, I still love these movies to this day. Especially the last one. It's the best one in my opinion and definitely my favorite.
The food that Ryan was grabbing looked so delicious!
what really irked me abobut troy and Julliard was like. ok at the time i wasn't rlly paying that much attention so i didn't know the scale of Gabriella going to Stanford because i was 9 and not American but in my mind she was always more talented than Troy?? so like why wasn't she involved in the theatre school rivalry?? but realistically Ms Darbus probably considered Gabriella (this is my headcanon because there's no way she would not have noticed) because of how talented she is but she also recognizes the path that Gabriella is on. which is Stanford
I still remember watching it like it was yesterday. We begged our dad to take us to the movie theater and reluctantly he did however he went to watch the latest Saw movie and begrudgingly picked us up later by the movie display 😅
NSYNC did the Inception thing a decade before Inception!
“And if you watched the second video, and I assume you did cause why would you start with the third video firsr wha-“
You didnt need to call me oht like thag
You should watch the Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure movie, I would love to see your reaction and analysis of it!
thanku for this series.
Ey don't call me out like that for not having any structure and randomly starting at video 3 :p
I love Kim Possible lip moment 💙
When I saw this I thought "ah, the awful third years I never meet in high school" and I was right since grade 5-8 were just bad. I wasn't willing to go to juvey for standing up for myself.
These 3 vids been hella entertaining 😂
YAAAAAAAAAS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!
"I haven't seen this movie and am not interested in seeing it. .... eh. I'll play this video anyway because i like listening to him speak." :3
are you gonna do sharpay's fabulous adventure next?
I am :)
Please make a video on Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure next!!!
The trilogy has concluded.
I vote Legend as the resident sassy cool aunt of our TH-cam 🙋
I saw this in theaters. I remember I even made sure to take my hsm purse 😅
3:30 - "That's what she said"... said by a fellow enby always gets a like from me.
As to being tall, I'm a solid 5'3". I am short, and actually was taller than some of the people on my high-school's basketball team.
Prom, I almost didn't go. But my parents actually forced me to go.
Julliard is one of the prestigious big-name Music-and-Theater schools. It's only slightly less-selective than Stanford. (Julliard has an 8% acceptance rate, with an 88% graduation rate... while Stanford has a 5% acceptance rate and a 94% graduation rate.)
It may not have been acceptable in 2008, but I experienced it personally even as late as 2007. By 2008, I was apparently popular enough to not get bullied because the people who bullied me before wanted to copy off of me so they could pass their classes (some of whom needed to get high enough grades that they were allowed to stay on the basketball team).
TLDR: It wasn't acceptable to be done, but it did happen IRL. Which does actually make Troy kind of an asshole.
Me still being with my high school sweet heart for 7 years: 😅
Heck yes! Im so ready to watch this!!!
How often do l make jokes about chemistry? Periodically.
7:34 so that's where my maid fetish comes from!
But seriously, I really love what you did with this movie, I never analyze this movie this way... and the only way I was able to compare isnHigh School Musicak Trilogy with the original Halo Trilogy, where John is John Bolton, not vice-versa. Don't judge me, I was a huge fan of both at that time and at some point, they got mixed in my mind. But the songs were Zac sang, I really felt them because it was a complicated time for me back then.
At 7:59 I felt so called out I'm laughing so hard for that
hahahaha yes! guys (or anyone who doesn’t like dancing) learn the basic, just a little bit, just some basic steps
