Description du produit High School Musical 2, 1 Blu-ray, 110 minutes .fr High School Musical (Encore Edition) The Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical is a combination of backstage action and Grease without the unwholesome habits. It's a smash hit with tween audiences (ages 6 to 10), but appealing for all ages. At a New Year's Eve party, Troy (Zac Efron) has a chance meeting with Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) when they share a karaoke song. Lo and behold, when school resumes, they discover that Gabriella has just transferred to Troy's East High School, a campus divided into tight cliques of jocks, cheerleaders, brainiacs, and skater dudes. Eager to recapture the magic they'd discovered during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella consider auditioning for the school's upcoming musical, much to the dismay of the school's frost queen/theatre goddess, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale). Problem is, Troy is also the star of the basketball team and Gabrielle is being recruited to compete in the Scholastic Decathlon. Will they give up their cliques to start something new, or will they do as the show's first big anthem urges and 'Stick to the Status Quo'? Well, this is a Disney movie, so maybe the sacrifices won't be that hard, and even the hints of romance are mild. The bestselling soundtrack is catchy in that Disney-pop kind of way, mixing in a dash of hip-hop ('Getcha Head in the Game,' punctuated by squeaky basketball shoes and other sound effects), salsa ('Bop to the Top'), and the endearingly hammy ('What I've Been Looking For' performed by Sharpay and her brother, Ryan, played by Lucas Grabeel). It's not hard to imagine High School Musical becoming a semi-staple for high school groups to perform themselves. --David Horiuchi High School Musical 2 What time is it? Time for High School Musical 2, the sequel to the Disney Channel smash. School is out, and Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) are looking forward to a summer to remember, but Troy also needs to earn money so he can go to college. As it turns out, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), the self-proclaimed primo girl of East High, has her eye set on primo-boy Troy, and gets him a job at the country club her parents own. It looks great for Troy when Gabriella and the rest of the Wildcats are hired also, but when he gets preferential treatment from the club manager (Mark Taylor) and others, it puts all of his relationships in hot water. Everyone's back from the original movie, including Zac's buddy Chad (Corbin Bleu), Sharpay's brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), and Gabriella's friend Taylor (Monique Coleman). And the songs on the hit soundtrack often parallel the originals and are just as catchy: the Troy-Gabriella duet ('You Are the Music in Me,' which is later Sharpay-ized into a rock version), the sports-flavored hip-hop number ('I Don't Dance,' but this time on the baseball diamond instead of the basketball court), the Gabriella lament ('Gotta Go My Own Way'), the climactic stage duet ('Everyday'), and the mass-ensemble closer ('All for One'). But the sequel doesn't just stick to the status quo. Other songs include a flashy opener ('What Time Is It'), Sharpay's poolside feature ('Fabulous'), a percussive ensemble number ('Work This Out'), and Zac's solo ('Bet On It'), and the dances are even bigger this time around, relentlessly high-energy and often spectacular. In addition, the 'let's put on a show' angle is only a subplot and the romance is now front and center--which means High School Musical has lost a bit of its innocence. But it's still wholesome viewing for tweens of all ages. --David Horiuchi --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre. Voir l'ensemble des Descriptions du produit
