You guys made my day! Yes!

(giggling) - This was worth waking up for.

- I'm gonna cry. Stop.

That's, like, my favorite movie.

- I'm a big guy. I'm seven foot.

But I would sing High School Musical all day

for the rest of my life.

♪ (industrial music) ♪

- (FBE) So, this was Disney's High School Musical.

Would you say you were a fan of this movie when you were younger?

- I'm not a fan of the movie particularly,

but I do like some of the songs.

- A fan?

I was like a super-fan!

- Who wasn't?

Honestly, I think even guys liked it.

- Absolutely. I watched it to learn all the dance moves and everything.

That is my movie.

- Completely, utterly, 100%-- if it was here still now,

I would still be a fan.

- Hell yeah.

I probably said I wasn't, but I watched it.

- (FBE) So for those who don't know,

can you tell us what the plot of High School Musical is?

- Yes.

It was about Troy and Gabriella.

- It's a girl-- she's like this scientist/mathematic girl.

- They both secretly love choir and singing and dancing and theatre,

but they don't want to admit it.

- A young stud on the basketball team, about to make the NBA.

Turns out he's also musically talented, but he's torn, you know?

Do I wanna be D1 bound, you know?

Do I wanna be the next Kobe or do I wanna be the next Beiber?

- Looking back at it now, it's probably one of the cheesiest things

I've ever seen, but I still love it 'cause I'm all about the super cheesy stuff.

- (FBE) So we're covering this because High School Musical debuted

on The Disney Channel back in 2006, making this 10 years old.

- (gasping) Oh my gosh. - I was in sixth grade.

- Oh my gosh! It's been a decade!

- (FBE) So how does that make you feel?

- Holy shit, man. What the he--

10 years old!

Damn, life does go by fast, man.

- It makes me feel like "David after Dentist."

It's just like, "Is this real life?"

- I feel like a dinosaur now.

Like, dang, it's been 10 years?

To this day, people still talk about High School Musical,

so it's like, "Oh."

I mean, that's one of those good movies

'cause people still talk about it 10 years later.

- (FBE) Some of the actors in this movie are Zac Efron...

- Love him.

- (FBE) ... Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, and Corbin Bleu.

- Irrelevant!

- (FBE) All of them helped make this movie a huge success,

so they made a sequel in 2007, doubling the viewers to 18 million.

And in 2008, High School Musical 3 was released in theatres,

grossing over $270 million worldwide. - Shit!

- Yeah, it was huge.

- I couldn't get into High School Musical like that.

That was just not my thing.

I was a Cheetah Girls fan.

- 18 million people watching High School Musical.

That's a legendary movie. Don't tell me otherwise.

- (FBE) What was it about High School Musical

that made it that massive? - It was relatable.

- With each movie, it became more and more relatable, I guess,

'cause it showed things like, oh yeah, you know,

sometimes friendships drift because of work and stuff.

- People love musicals, right?

Like, I love musicals. Everyone loves singing and dancing.

- The message that it gives, it's just like, "Hey, be yourself."

You know? Just be yourself and it's okay.

- It's a feel-good movie.

High School Musical is, like, what you want in life.

So you have to go see it.

- (FBE) So we're now actually gonna show you

a medley of songs from High School Musical 2 and 3.

- Okay! Yeah!

- I'm not ready. I'm ready.

I'm not ready. I am, but I'm not.

But I am... but I'm not.

But I am.

- YES! Bring it.

♪ Summertime ♪

♪ It's our vacation ♪ - (singing along)

This was the beginning of the second one.

- They had some of the best dance moves though.

Look at this.

- ♪ Anticipation ♪

- I would be the one guy in the hallway, like,

"Can you guys move?

I'm trying to get out of here for summer break already."

- ♪ When I hear my favorite song ♪

- Oh, and that's when they first kissed.

That was a big deal.

They did not kiss in the first movie.

- ♪ ...belong ♪

That was horrible!

- I remember seeing that in the theatres

and I was like, "No! It's over."

- It's the freeze frame. The freeze frame.

- That's emotional. I have-- I literally do have chills.

- Is there another one?

- (laughing) - No!

- Dang it, we're so into this!

- (FBE) So, do you think the way that television has evolved

over the past 10 years, that there will ever be anything

that's quite as big as High School Musical

when it comes to made-for-TV movies?

- I think it's always a possibility.

- I don't think so.

It won't affect us the same way because we already had High School Musical.

- It has to be more on the big screen now

because... I think that's what happened with High School Musical 3.

They were like this franchise is too big to be on TV.

- I don't think so. I don't think anymore.

There's so many online releases now.

- I can see a show getting popular on Netflix

or something online, but as for TV, I don't know if I see that too much.

- (FBE) So, finally, Disney announced that they are officially making

a High School Musical 4 with a brand new set of Wildcats.

- What?! No, they did not!

It's not the same! It's not the same.

- (FBE) So do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea?

- I think it's okay.

I think if Disney trusts a storyline enough to bring it to the screen,

they should be able to do that.

I don't wanna shoot it down

'cause I feel like that's what most people do.

- Bad idea. It's like Mean Girls 2.

You should've let it rest.

- They want to make more money, so, I mean, yeah.

Typical conglomerates.

- It's kind of bad!

I hate to say that-- but you never know.

I'm probably still gonna watch it though, to be honest.

- It's gonna flop so hard, bro.

I hope their accounts are ready for that shit.

Yeah, that's some bullshit.
