    Disney Channel Was On Some Other S**t Back Then.

    Re-watching this as an adult made me realize that I had no idea what good writing was back then, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

    Maybe because of the songs or the nostalgia factor, but I honestly feel like I can watch this over and over again and not get bored.

    Even though I'm aware that High School Musical is not at all a "good movie", I can't deny that it's a fun movie. and nostalgia doesn't allow me to express anything other than love for it.
