slo’s THURSDAY 1/30 poll - High School Musical Movies

[slo]

As I was scrolling through Instagram the other day, I came across the below picture. My eyes about popped out of my head, I couldn’t believe it - 19 years ago! I immediately sent it to DD21 and said - now this makes me feel old. The wonderful memories I have of watching these with my girls are priceless. The memory I have of my DD26 getting on a DCL stage at 9 years old, in front of many people and doing karaoke to a couple HSM songs is also priceless (she’s always had an amazing voice, even back then). So let’s be….

and talk about the High School Musical Movies….

Which HSM movies have you seen?
If you’ve seen them, which one is your favorite?
(multiple choice)



For Me…….I have seen them all a bizillion times When I had my store, the girls would watch them all the time. They also watched them at home all the time. When HSM2 came to Disney Channel, we made a big deal out of it - we brought in take out, got movie candy and had the best night. When HSM3 came to the movie theater, we went out to dinner and got candy - such great memories. At the end of HSM3 I actually had tears - they graduated and it was the end of these fun movies. I will always have a special place in my heart for the HSM movies To answer my question about a favorite….it is HSM2.



Quick funny story……when Trump came out at the RNC convention, my DD21 jumps off the couch and yells out - HE’S COMING OUT TO HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL LIGHTS! We laughed so hard. I quickly looked it up and yep…she’s right! We still laugh about this. I’m so blessed to have my DD21 to always always always make me laugh.

I have seen bits of these on TV in the background, but never watched the whole series. I should put them on my list.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I’ve never seen any of the movies but I have seen the shows at Disney when they used to do them at MGM or Hollywood Studios or whatever it’s called these days

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I have seen all 3. My step-daughters were big fans and watched them regularly.

They tried to convert me, but GREASE is more my thing

 

[Kitty 34]

I've never watched it, but this gives me an idea for a thread.

 

[jo-jo]

I might have seen bits of one. Just depends what the granddaughters put on TV. But I couldn't tell you any songs or who was in them.

 

[lovesmurfs]

I know we've seen the first and second. I don't recall the third.

DD LOVED the first one growing up -- saw the show live in Chicago when it was in town for her birthday.

Although I just looked up the history of it HERE, and it's not listed as being in Chicago. Hmmmm..... I know we saw it downtown.

ETA: It wasn't the first edition of the show: https://www.theatreinchicago.com/news.php?articleID=214

I watched them all with my young grandchildren! They would jump around and sing the songs on the hill in their backyard. They were so enthusiastic! I don’t have a favorite movie, I was enjoying just being with the kids!

 

[Micca]

I watched the first one, that will suffice.

 

[soccerdad72]

I know I've seen the first two (multiple times, as they fell right in the middle of my kids' Disney channel days). I think I've seen 3, but I don't remember anything about it.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I've never seen it, don't think I have ever heard of it.

Always nice to hear your little vignettes about you and your best buddy, @slo

 

[Meriweather]

Never watched any of them.
My DD may have but not with me.
Grandkids aren't into that kind of movie.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I’ve only seen the first one. I enjoyed it, but it’s not something I care to rewatch repeatedly.

 

[leebee]

I think I saw the first one and liked it well enough, but not enough to really remember anything about it, or want to see the sequels.

 

[monsterkitty]

I've seen all three movies.

I do have to say HSM 2 is my favorite because my niece is a dancer in the movie.

 

[sarahann77]

I know I've seen the first. Pretty sure I saw the second. Unclear on the 3rd. Do I get bonus points for having seen the musical?

 

[mrs. magoo]

I love these movies and HSM 2 is my favorite one probably because it is summer break and I love movies that take place in the summer. For the second one I bought the CD the day before the release so my daughters listened to it on repeat. One of my DD had her birthday party in conjunction with both HSM 2 and 3. so fun
