...so, how many months before Disney greenlights and starts casting High School Musical: The Next Generation? Despite the rather epic description Zac gives of the "legacy we leave on East High", I doubt Disney will let go of their most lucrative tween brand -that- easily. Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

I went to East High. I left a legacy of slouching around and reading paperback novels in class instead of participating and playing Rifts in the library at lunch time.
Disney should make a musical of that.

Next will be Middle School Musical, followed by Elementary School Musical and finally Pre-School Musical.
I would rather drill a hole in my head than watch them but my girls like them and they are pretty wholesome. I don't have to worry about them sneaking bad words into the movie and my girls aren't going to learn about teen pregnancy or anything so I just grin and put in ear plugs.

The only things I know about this series of movies is that they're popular, the girl had a scandal, and the guy played Young Simon in "Firefly."

The acting is hoooorrible in Hannah Montanna, but I didn't expect any more. Again though, it's clean.

Wait... Disney has the option for a Rifts movie and nobody else thinks that sounds insane!?
Maybe I'm thinking of a different Rifts than you. The bizarre, violent Role Playing Game set in a post-apocalyptic future? Filled with mutant characters and magic using characters and demon-worshipping characters and drug-using characters and insane characters? How could this possibly make a Disney movie?

But Rifts seems worlds more horrifying and inappropriate than any of the Pirates movies. Maybe I'm wrong.
Hmm, on reflection, the Rifts world is so choked bizarre features, it would be very easy to edit out the more inappropriate ones. No people who improve their combat prowess by taking ludicrous amounts of intravenous drugs, for instance.
It still strikes me as odd, but I guess I can swallow the possibility of a Disney Rifts movie.

Are you kidding me? They'll drive this one until it runs out of gas! I went to the Greensboro Coliseum last year with my daughter and her friends. I've never experienced anything quite like this crazy love they have going on for High School Musical. It wasn't the best because Zac wasn't there, but Corbin Bleu more than made up for it. At least that's what the girls said.
I had a headache after the concert.

Maybe I'm just used to Shakespeare, but when I hear "it's the third act" I expect two more.

Also remember that Disney has established several more adult-oriented labels for their non-family friendly fare. Like Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, etc. If they decide to make a Rifts movie, they could easily release it under one of those.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. My nieces have absolutely killed any desire to watch this, but I now have respect for the main character.

It was a bit part from when he was younger. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it.
High School Musical is absolutely perfectly targeted. The songs are catchy (I've seen it, and though I loathe the actual lyrics, they stuck in my head for days afterwards), and utterly devoid of any kind of, what's it called...quality. So kids love it, and force their parents to pay for all different sorts of format for it, and it works perfectly.
The singing ain't half bad though, I'll give them credit for that. As a musical, I'd say it's mediocre, and if the lyrics were better I'd probably give it a lot more credit, but it's not completely devoid of talent.

Ugh, I wouldn't want to leave that sort of legacy. REally, those movies are total crap.
I'm expecting "College Musical" some time soon. And if Zac thinks that it's equivilent to Shakespere, he'd got issues.

Zac said the HSM franchise was equivalent to a Shakespeare play in structure?
Wow, he's out of it.
No, he didn't, he just referred to the third HSM as the third act. One of the more common formats for plays (in particular, the format Shakespeare uses) is the five act play. That's what came into my mind when he made the comment.

I think I went to that East High also, if it's really the one in Salt Lake. Well, just for my senior year. It was before the reconstruction, but I thought I recognized it.
