High School Musical 3: Senior Year (Single-Disc Theatrical Version)

Honestly, High School Music fan or not, this movie is truly amazing. Of course, anyone who liked the first two will probably fall in love with this one, as it is, hands down, the best in the trilogy. I think that even if you didn't see the first two or if you weren't particularity fond of them, you will like this one regardless because of what it deals with. This movie is about something we all go through as senior in high school - saying good-bye to our friends after high school. Addiotionally, it's nice to see a teen movie that doesn't revolve around sex, drugs, violence, and profanity. (I am aware many of you will argue with me that this is not exactly a film aimed at a teenage or young adult audience and that the viewing public expected for it is in fact little elementary school children simply because it is G-rated Disney movie, but to me, that makes no sense whatsoever. The movie talks about high school graduation, college applications, prom, the Ivy League universities, etc. Do you really think a 10-year-old will understand that?)The East High Wildcats decide to put on their final show together at their school: a musical about their twelfth grade experience. It'll be a pretty unique musical because, for once, they won't have to play a character - they'll be playing themselves! But due to her incredible intelligence, Gabriella, the female protagonist, is offered to skip her senior year in high school and go to straight onto college right away. Will she accept Standard's offer, leaving her friends, boyfriend, and the musical behind? Will Troy, the male protagonist, chose to continue with basketball or will he chose a career than involves acting? Will Sharpay win a scholarship to New York's Julliard University of Performing Arts or will her brother? Will Ryan and Kelsi find true love? Find out in this exciting conclusion to one of the world's greatest film series! The only good thing recently produced by the screwed-up Disney Channel! Yes I hate Disney Channel, Hannah Montana, Cory in the House, Jonas Brothers, and all of the other inappropriate teen shows they've decided to put on a children's channel. But High School Musical is different. It teaches both kids and teens a valuable lesson and it allows adults to revisit their past. The plot is actually relevant to what many people feel and...it's a teenage musical! You don't see something like that everyday! Just watching Troy and Gabriella perform a beautiful waltz is reason enough to buy this film. Also, the old fashioned music at the end proves that rap, hip hop, and pop isn't always what you'll see in a teenage film.The songs are as original, catchy, and wonderful as they are visually stunning! During "Scream," the turning walls that represent Troy's confusion are spectacular! The disappearing pictures on the wall in Gabriella's solo "Walk Away" were really quite sad. The Statue of Liberty that shoots fireworks out of its head in "I Want It All" is amazing. The sets in "A Night To Remember" will leave you with your mouth wide open. "Right Here Right Now," "Can I Have This Dance," and "Just Wanna Be With You" are three incredible romance songs. And, of course, Troy and Chad turning into little boys in "The Boys Are Back" was really cute. That reminds, "Right Here Right Now" and "The Boys Are Back" are so of my favorites because of what they talk about: not wanting to grow up. Anyway, n case you forgot or are too lazy to read the customer reviews for the HSM3 soundtrack, here are the songs:1. "Now Or Never" - Troy and the Wildcats basketball team2. "Right Here, Right Now" - Troy and Gabriella3. "I Want It All" - Sharpay and Ryan [A TRUE BROADWAY SONG!]4. "Can I Have This Dance? (Version I)" - Troy and Gabriella5. "A Night To Remember" - cast!6. "Just Wanna Be With You" - Ryan & Kelsi, Troy & Gabriella7. "The Boys Are Back" - Troy and Chad8. "Walk Away" - Gasbriella9. "Scream" - Troy10. "Can I Have This Dance? (Version II)" - Troy and Gabriella11. "Senior Year Spring Musical" ***made up of reprises of NOW OR NEVER (Chad, the Wildcats basket team, cheerleaders), I WANT IT ALL (Ryan), JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU (Sharpay & Jimmy, and later Troy and Gabriella), and A Night To Remember (Sharpay vs. Tiara), as well as a new song: Last Chance (Ryan and Kelsi)***12. "We're All In This Together" - cast!13. "High School Musical" - cast!14. "Just Getting Started" - during the end credits, winner of the Get In The Picture ABC7 contestBy the way, during the "I Want It All," you actually see Gabriella The Maid a bit more than you did in the theaters because you see that part of the song in a different camera angle than you did in theaters. That also lets you see an important-looking lady giving Ryan a newspaper with him and Sharpay on the cover. This is not due to the extended edition thing because the song is the same length, but, like I said, the camera angle is different so you see more things.The special features on this Blu-ray are freakin' cool! Even though it's a single disc release, it has the exact same content found on the Two-Disc release, plus more! These are the Special Features (the last two aren't found on the two-disc release).-- Extended Version Of The Movie-- Optional Sing Along Version-- Bloopers-- Deleted Scenes-- "Cast Goodbyes" feature-- "Night Of Nights" feature-- "It's All In The Dress" feature-- "Senior Awards" feature-- New Cast ProfilesIn addition, just like in the Two-Disc release, you can download a digital copy of the movie. And as if that weren't enough, it comes with the first disc of the Two-Disc Edition!!!!! Now you can watch the movie practically anywhere because you have the regular version as well as the Blu-ray version!!!! What do you know, it is a two disc after all. ^_^

Nothing to say yall know it’s a great movie lol

I am a huge fan of this movie series so this bluray is perfect, it came with no scratches

Cute show...watched all three of the high school musicals..

Esta película es espectacular pero me decepcionó que Disney no me ayudara a activar la copia digital porque ya descontinuaron ese servicio.

This movie still holds a very important spot in my heart and since yesterday was the 10 year anniversary I wanted to watch all the movies back too back. This movie is always the saddest of them because of all the nods in the movie that this was the last one and the final number "High School Musical" is always emotional for me.I was 11-12 when the first movie came out and after that I was hooked I watched every movie or show the main cast was in and was suck into my first fandom. I've been following Vanessa's career since this first movie and it's been emotional rewatching this remembering where I was when each movie came out and the nostalgia feeling attached to these movies.These movies are so much about self discovery and learning to be honest and true to yourself no matter what others think. In these movies the theme was always Troy and what his Dad or friends would think. Gabriella being his rock and always being honest with him helps him grow into the person he became in the final movie. I always found this last one really emotional and honest because it's about what happens after High School and Gabriella going to a college that would be far away from Troy. High School couples go through that all the time and it shows the real struggle he faces without having her right with him whenever. Also, shows that Troy after all the years of loving basketball and now music he has no clue what he wants to do with his life after high school.This one felt the most real in terms of the issues and I'm glad to say I was there from the beginning. Once a Wildcat always a Wildcat!

I loved High School Musical 1 and 3! What fun high school romps…with music and dancing. Missed it years ago. Talented director, choreographer, actors …light weight, but fun and insightful, themes, such as “We Are All in This Together”. Loved them both. DVD 2 was so scratched that it isn’t usable. Disappointed…not to have all three.
