    Storyline

    Edit
    It all begins when young Will Stronghold, the son of the two famous superheroes: Steve and Josie, A.K.A. the incredibly strong, seemingly invulnerable Commander and and the high-speed flying Jetstream. However, Will does not actually know if he has any powers of his own, and has not told his parents this. He and his best friend, Layla are facing their first day of a secret school in the clouds like none on earth: Sky High, the first and only high school for kids with super-human powers going through crime-fighting puberty. But with no apparent superpowers of his own, however, Will seems destined to grow up a mere sidekick. But as he discovers his true strengths, he'll also learn that it takes loyalty and teamwork to truly become a hero! —Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

    • Trivia
      In the cafeteria at the beginning, there is an announcement that Sidekicks cannot order hero sandwiches. After being promoted to hero, you can see a hero sandwich on Will's tray .

      Will doesn't actually step on Medulla's foot in the mad science laboratory.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Will Stronghold: In the end, my girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend. But, hey, it's high school.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits are decorated with still-frame comic-book illustrations. One of the still frames has a single animated element - a purple monster's eye, which moves and blinks. (It appears just before the music credits.)
    • Alternate versions
      In the Disney Channel premiere of Sky High, the end credits are different than they are in the theatrical and DVD releases. Instead of the comic book type end credits like in the theatrical version it is replaced by DC with the credits on the left side and a montage of scenes from the film on the right side of the credits.

    What's with the low rating?
    This movie is fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's funny. I really don't know why there's such a low score for this one.
