Fun fact - there’s a post credits scene. Sharpay meets up with Zeke, she’s tried his cookies and says they’re the best things she’s ever tasted and asks him to make more. He says he might make her a creme brulee!

This movie is such a nostalgia ride. Zac Efron's amazing in this, Sharpay is one of the few meangirl characters I actually like, and I can't tell you how many times "Status Quo" has gotten stuck in my head. I even sang it in a stage version in high school.

Fun fact for you Cody. Behind the scenes revealed that Lucas Grabeel and Ashley Tisdale, Sharpay and Ryan, actually didn't get along at all. Ashley acted too much like Sharpay did here. But now they are actually great friends.

I kept getting reminded of that one suite life of zack and Cody episode where they were doing HSM for a school play and Maddie (Ashley Tisdale) was auditioning for Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) and everyone kept saying she didn’t look anything like Ashley Tisdale😭😂

Zac didn’t actually sing in this movie. The songs were sung by Drew Seeley. But Zac does ACTUALLY sing in the sequels.

Little fun fact: Corbin Bleu is a Musical Theatre Actor aswell, so him playing Chad, someone who hates Musicals, is so funny cause you can tell that he can move and sing well in the movie/s 😅

Darbus' whole thing is that the theater is essentially her whole life, and her objections are mainly coming from not wanting to waste her time with people who aren't going to take it seriously. Thats why she gives them the callback, and why she lets them perform at the end. They proved they're not just some kids goofing around.

Cody's energy was just addictive, how can you not have fun with this movie while Cody is dancing in his chair

There’s one movie that inspired for “High School Musical” movie, “Grease” is the first musical at school

The 3rd HSM is my favorite. It actually got a full cinematic budget too and it shows. Zac Efron actually gets to sing for himself too which is nice (he had to fight for that).

This movie basically sparked the teen musical genre to many movies and TV shows. Even the TV show Glee can be compared to this movie sometimes. So, next time you see teenagers singing in a high school in a movie or TV show, you know who to thank. High School Musical.

I used to be OBSESSED with High School Musical. I bought up a lot of the merchandise, including the singing Troy and Gabriella dolls,and a High School Musical themed magic 8 ball!

Did not expect this at all and I’m 100% here for reliving my childhood and drowning in the nostalgia 🙌🏻😭

Fun fact: this was directed and i wanna say partially if not all coreographed by Kenny Ortega, who also directed Hocus Pocus and Newsies (1992) THIS MOVIE was my whole life. In the days before DVR and even if you weren't well off enough for TiVO, whej this came on, it was everything. THEN when it came on again with the DANCE -A-LONG, i still remember the moves for We're All in this Together.

I didn’t like having the flip phones. We had to repeatedly press keyboard buttons in order to get the correct letter when we were texting someone. Thank goodness we have iPhones with digital keyboards now.

High School Musical 2 is my favorite of the trilogy since it screams summer plus Sharpay's song Fabulous is so iconic 😄✨🌸🎶💕

I grew up with the HSM trilogy. I was 10-11 years old when the first movie came out. My sister was 8 years old, so we loved watching them together and bonding over them. I’m 28 now and still consider these movies an integral part of my childhood- and I still know the lyrics to most of the songs! 😅 good times

I still remember when this movie came out! Everyone at my school was singing the songs (myself included XD) I still remember learning the choreography for Get'cha Head in the Game and We're All In This Together with the HSM Dance-Along where Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel taught the choreo for the chorus of those two songs! I'm feeling so old right now ^^"

This movie was a staple in mine and my sister's childhood! We grew up on this. I did sports in middle and high school, while my sister did drama. So we both had our own moments growing up. With this movie, all of our friends come from all parts of school, no matter what clubs you join. This brings back the good memories of that! ☺☺

My two favorite songs are “We’re All In This Together” and “Breaking Free”.

Lets take a moment to point out that they came up with "hacking the gym and filling a room full of toxic gas" before pleating their case to the principal xD Its far from home all over again xD

Fun fact, "West High" was filmed in Salt Lake City, Utah in East High!

Ha I was waiting to see the after credits scene..where Sharpy runs into the court and jumps on Zac cos she's loves his baking 😄

You definitely should do the second and third movie!! It’s so nice to go back to movies like this 😭

An absolute stable of my childhood

Sharpay is the Regina George of High School Musical

Cody you absolute treasure!!! This brings back so many memories in 2006 when it was popular I was a teen in high school when it came out and if you were a teenager when this movie came out, it meant you were lucky to be a teenager, this movie is good. listen

First! This is one of my all time favorite movies and im excited to see your reaction!

“It feels like they lip-syncing” yeah bud, did you actually believe they were singing so perfectly. Sometimes i just ignore comments like that, but that just made me laugh.

This trilogy has a special place in my heart! Excited to see you react to the other two movies 🥰 IMO 2 has the best songs!

Out of the 2nd and 3rd movie, I'd say the 2nd has the best songs and the 3rd has the best story.

Fun Fact: Michael Jackson visited to meet the cast of High School Musical because his kids used to like this movie!

I recommend the movie with Corbin Bleu "jump in"

I’m so happy you did this! Do Camp Rock or Hairspray next!

I'm so glad you got down to watching this, I hoped you would since you watched the greatest showman. I've seen Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella) in this true life story movie, called Gimme Shelter, it was released in 2013 and I did NOT recognize her at first until half way during the movie! I definitely recommend it. The other musical movie I've seen Zac Efron in (apart from greatest showman) is Hairspary. my favorite song is breaking free, when there was me and you, bop to the top and we're all in this together. I can't wait to see your reaction to the second movie and have a great week, Cody!

I think you are right when you say the "were all in this together" song is the most popular. Had to perform and learn the dance in middle school for our Showcase of Stars, which is where every school in the county performed a musical performance. To this day I will randomly have the song and dance just pop in my head.

Status quo- hard to believe its been about 20 years since this mindset of sticking to one thing was a big thing. If you ever want to go into some more old Disney movies I recommend Eddie’s Million dollar cook off, when i watched that last year i had total shock. I forgot that it is still a recent thing for men to not be considered feminine when they want to cook even though most chefs are men. We may still be having issues, but dang we have come a long way. Cant wait to see your reaction to the third one that one is my favorite.

When I would come home from school, I’d watch hsm everyday. My mom was sick of hearing it 😂 They were and still are the best, even if it’s predictable. I hope you react to the other two. HSM1&3 are my fav.

Oh man brings back memories. I remember going to school play Radio Disney in my father’s car and sing along HSM music and wishing that I was in high school. Great reaction.

Let's GO, man! I barely ever comment before watching the video in case there's something specific I want to say. But now I have to, just to say how excited I am. I love these movies to death. I hope you'll watch HSM 2 and 3 as well! Damn, you just made my day. Okay, now I'll start watching.

7/10 Nostalgia While the film only came out 15 years ago, I felt a high amount of nostalgia watching High School Musical again. It was exciting to see the start of something new (pun absolutely intended) and the Disney Channel juggernaut that came from it. The story was straightforward and predictable, the acting was mediocre, and the script was incredibly cringey at times, but I can forgive all of that because of the music. Every song in this film is a karaoke classic that I blasted in my mom's car to and from middle school. While it is not a cinematic masterpiece, this film brings back sentimental feelings and memories that make it a family favorite.

Zeke is the sweetest, get you a guy who can bake.

This is my all time favorite Disney Channel Movie. The songs are so catchy and amazing. I remember being obsessed with this movie in Middle School. I love singing the Songs, Dancing their moves and Daydream about meeting someone Special. My Favorite Song is 'We're all in this together'. I love it.

Watching these makes me think of another movie you'd probably enjoy, Lemonade Mouth. Probably my favorite of the Disney musicals around this era, such a fun movie with pretty entertaining songs and a good story imo.

Saw this on ice. The lyrics were on screen Troy started to sing and Gabriella came out singing her part. So adorable 😍😊🥰☺️😁

One of the best christmas gifts I got was a ticket to go see high school musical the concert

I actually had participated in a musical and it was the High School Musical. I had so much fun doing the musical with my theater family.

This musical captured my heart with its sweetness and support for diversity in activities and what may not be mainstream or cool to your friends. I hope you will watch number two, Sharpay has the perfect song for lazying around the pool, she's just Fabulous! 🤩

omg ,what a throwback !! thank you for taking me back to my high school years 🥰

Now you gotta check out High School Musical: The Musical: The Series! It's actually really great, I didn't expect much from it but I ended up loving it. It's not a reboot of the movies, it's a show based off a drama club that performs High School Musical for their school play.

You got me listening to the soundtrack now. I was blasting it in the car, on my way home from work, and I was belting out the lyrics.

Thank you!! What a blast from the past. Glad you enjoyed it too!💝💞

Sharpay kicking the stall door open was Ashley Tisdales idea!

Such nostalgia. I remember always liking Ryan best. His voice was my favourite and his whole vibe 😄

You'd be great at singing, Cody!😊

I remember seeing this when I was I think a freshman in high school. So this movie has a special place in my heart. I know exactly what it’s like to have a parent teach school ( my mom was a teacher for special kids) so I thought I could get away with a lot, but I do know what Tory feels like to not have his parent support his dream, while my mom supports whatever I do, she’s not exactly accepting of my sexuality which is part hetroflexible part bisexual, so I kind of understand how Tory feels afraid to tell his father. Because even though I’ve told my mom about my sexuality she doesn’t take it seriously, she thinks it’s a phase, like most parents who don’t understand sexuality say… but yeah I totally relate to tory being so afraid to tell his dad in this movie

I think your reaction made me obsessed with this franchise again and I’m not mad about it! Very nostalgic for me and my relatives growing up.

I had a crush on Vanessa who played Gabriella and olyessa who played Kelsey the piano player

Wow I can’t believe you’re reacting to high school musical this is one of the best Disney movies ever I’ve seen it before

I love High school musical so much one the best musicals in my childhood and my favourites from Zac Efron and Vanessa Hugens ❤️❤️❤️I love the cast as well Sharpay what an icon and I absolutely love the songs so awesome although I can’t really pick a favourite since there all so amazing 🤩🤩🤩 thanks for your reaction Cody can’t wait for the next two movies because you get to hear Zacs real singing voice 😊😊😃😃

If I remember right the number 44 on the basketball team is one of the assistant choreographers With a small side role

High School Musical was a fun and great film with great music and the cast was fun to watch. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are so cute together in this film.

I remember my brother watched this movie.

Loved to see this reaction. And you can't know that but we all love Ryan and I'm sure you will as well. Sharpay is more of a hate/love thing in the long run

It's funny you say Gabriella has a big house because I can't be the only one who's always wondered what her mother does for a living to be able to afford a 2 story house like that.

I remember this! So much nostalgia!

The second movie is the best out of the trilogy, also Ryan is a gay icon! The director Kenny Ortega wanted Ryan to be Gay but Disney didn’t want to straight up (no pun intended) say that

High School Musical has very incredible songs.

Fun fact:Ashley Tisdale also voices Candace in Phineas and Ferb.

This was one of my favorite movies growing up! As I’m older, I have to say my favorite part is the Darbus v. Bolton of it all!

To quote Bugs Bunny. I knew I shoud've taken that left turn on Albuquergue

This is one of those movie series where even if you hate it it'll still put a smile on ya

We need a reaction to 2 and 3 as well!

High School Musical is one of my favorite Disney Channel movies. Thanks for doing this, Cody

I cant wait for your High school musical 2 and 3 reactions xD

There is a spinoff movie thats about sharpay just so you know.

My Opinion, Awesome songs! Get'cha Head in the Game ⛹️🏀 When There was Me and You👩‍❤️‍👨 Bop to the Top💃🕺 We're all in this Together👫🫂

I have loved High School Musical since I was younger I'm a big fan of the movies and I loved the song I'm glad that you are reacting to the movie.

Though I'd say Status Quo is my favourite song from this film, All in this together gets stuck in my head every single time I hear even the slightest bit of it 🙈

4:55 Glad she’ll be back in season 4 of the series.

Thanks for this blast from the past!!! I got chills of nostalgia from watching it, to singing along, to learning the choreography!!! I had done some sports growing up but found my passion for theatre in high school, and I’m proud of it. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of the trilogy. I definitely recommend the sequel/spinoff Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure and the musical mockumentary drama series High School Musical the Musical the Series. #Staytotallyteriffic #Wereallinthistogether #GoWildcats 🏀📚🎭❤️🤍💛

Thanks for doing this reaction video Cody! I was obsessed with all 3 movies growing up and the music too, but my all time favorite is the 3rd one I’m sure you’ll love it to. Also I’m looking forward to seeing you react to High School Musical the series on Disney+ Keep up the hard work! ❤❤ Makes me want to rewatch them again now 😂

made you want to sing, but it made me want to dance that final song... why and how do I still remember the choreo!? LOL

I was in a stage production of this and the second one as a kid mate it was the best time

Now this is interesting timing! I just watched the second one for the first time a few days ago. Can't wait to see what you think of them :)

Yessssssss legendary series

The 3rd movie is the most musical theater-y out of all of them which is why it's my faborite.

If you look in the background of breaking free you can see Ryan and sharpay cross armed. Ryan bopping his head smiling and sharpay is annoyed

You HAVE to watch the 2nd! They only get better! I loved these movies as a kid growing up haha

Me and my sister used to dance the final dance every time! There are some cringy videos of us on my mother's computer for sure!

They also have a tv series which is on Disney Plus called High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and the 4th season comes out August 9th!

Please watch the 2nd and 3rd movie!!

"Isn't it weird that they're brother and sister though?" Yes. Yes, it is very weird. How that ever got by Disney is beyond me. lol

My Sister loved these movies when she was young, and i dont think they're bad either. Some of them have been dubbed into Finnish, although usually foreign films are only subtitled.

"First time watching" is so hard to believe when it's this movie😂 Thought it was part of everyone's childhood

High School Musical and Camp Rock were some of my favorite Disney Channel movies!

God I had such a crush on Corbin (chad) when I was a kid 😂 I just thought he was soooo pretty

I was actually just going into high school when this came out XD

your going to love High School Musical 2 and 3 but 3 the most its so so good!!

Now that you got the Context, you should watch Hotel Zack & Code. The Episode where they need to make a TV-Spot for the Hotel.
