The kids are coming back from East High School and this time it will not be premiering on the Disney Channel. The latest movie will be opening up on the big screen on October 24, 2008 and this is the 3rd installment to this popular movie from Disney. The first High School Musical appeared on the Disney Channel in January of 2006. It won an Emmy and was the most successful Disney Channel Original Movies that was ever produced at the time. It didn’t take the guys from Disney long to figure out they had struck gold with High School Musical and came out with the 2nd version or sequel to High School Musical in August of 2007.  Both of these Disney Movies have grabbed a loyal fan base and many kids and teenagers are singing the lyrics to the songs and tuning in to each airing that Disney is replaying High School Musical on the Disney Channel.

Breaking Free from High School Musical

Since High School Musical 3 is still several months away, they will be a lot of promotions and hype that will get the anticipation built up before this movie ever comes out. I’m sure this will be the number 1 movie at the box office when it is released in October. You don’t have to look real hard these days to see the young folks singing or copying dance moves that the first two High School Musicals brought us. I’m sure all new songs and dance steps are already in the works and it should be interesting to see if Disney can deliver this movie one more time, as the cast prepares for senior year in High School Musical 3.

Most of all the footage has been shot in Utah. I assume High School Musical 3 will again be using the scenery around the Salt Lake City area in Utah. The 3rd edition to High School Musical does have big shoes to fill, after the first two have been so successful. In 2006, the soundtrack from the movie High School Musical was the top selling album in the United States. The success of this movie might not be like most movies, where acting and the actual plot come into play. I think most fans have a general idea in what direction the movie plot will go, but success might rely on the songs they use and just how catchy they are. So the music will be the most important part to High School Musical 3.

My high school was never like the one at East High School and I’m sure most would agree with me there. I just wonder how many people attending high school or getting ready to go to high school, would like to be enrolling in East High School. It does seem like a fun place to go to school and like most television shows or movies that are based on high schools, you never see the students doing much work. As for the real life actors and actresses that play the kids from East High School, they have been doing a lot of work and travel away from the set of High School Musical. I believe all the stars of this movie have made a name for their self and I’m sure they have increased their value for other television shows or movies they might want to star in.

I know High School Musical has had a world-wide reach and it’s not just the U.S. citizens getting caught up in the craze. Many people all over the world is keeping up with the show and I’m sure they too are anxiously awaiting the arrival of High School Musical 3. The You Tube Sensation Alex from Mexico was recently on vacation at her cousin’s house and they both had some light-hearted fun with some of the songs in High School Musical. You get to see Alex’s cousin sing the first song and then Alex sings another song from High School Musical that her cousin lends a little help to.

So just be patient and the movie will be in theaters soon for High School Musical 3 and I will be posting more videos of Alex even sooner and you can continue to watch a star in the making…
