I agree. Since when did not being able to be in a musical become the biggest problem in high school? What about grades, drinking, drugs, and sex? Those are all problems high school students face, but Disney refuses to show that. I know that trying to fit in is a problem, but there is so much more to high school than that. I know its supposed to be for kids, but come on! If you're targeting children don't make a movie about high school students. Especially one that is not at all accurate...and it sucked terribly.

I just hope the younger kids don't actually believe that any of this crap is even close to truth.

And all these horrible singing kids are so annoying. I wonder if that's a job requirement.


Did you intend to forge my signature?!

I tried to break out in song when I was in school sometimes it worked if I sang the right song people would join in other times I felt like JD from Scrubs when something didn't happen like he imagined.

reply

Sometimes, at my High School, we would just spontaneously break out into extremely well coregraphed song and dance...and nobody ever drank, or swore or had sex. In fact these things were not even mentioned- we didn't even know what they were to be honest. We were all just great looking boys and girls, with "drama" filled lives, that always worked out in the end- and of course we all wore are chastity rings, even tho we had no idea what the gee-willigers they were for.(To keep us from changing sexes or something...)

Yep, let me tell ya, Disney Channel sure gets it right these days...

reply

Really? In my school we wear chastity belts! No one's gettin' past my lady parts! ...Whatever those parts are...

reply

Technically, High School students (the ones under 16) are considered kids.

I think their movies have become incredible shallow and poorly written but In understand why Disney keeps them wholesome. It would not go over well if they wrote a realistic portrayal of teenage life on a network whose viewers mainly consist of 5-14 years olds especially since there are so many parents who have gotten lazy these days in their parenting and expect Disney and Disney stars to teach their children morals.

I hope the ones under 12 do since children should get to experience the innocence of childhood before finding out about the harsh realities of life.

If the Pirates of the Caribbean, a Disney movie that is PG13, can come forth and be a hit, re-airing an old Disney film like Susie Q should be no problem. Why not? Kids these days are wimps, lol.

LOL, your kids these day comment made me laugh. Pirates is different because it's in theaters, not on their tv channel. Plus, if it weren't for J. Depp the movies would suck. He basically told Disney that if he was going to play Jack, he was going to do it his way and I think because of that a lot of the more mature elements were kept.

reply

Right?! In the old days, kids would play baseball out in the streets and walk to the candy store and each others' houses to play tag. Their parents never worried that their kids might get lost or kidnapped or raped, and there were no cell phones or computers, and there was CERTAINLY no High School Musical, just good music that made you think. When I have kids, I'm not letting them watch any Disney crap. I'll make my own TV shows if I have to, haha.

but miley and vanessa hudgens can pose half nude/nude in pictures, and they're still on tv.

The movie is under the Disney Family Movies, but its apart of some package. idk. you should check it out. It's only until Nov 2.
But as for it not being aired on TV...
I'm sure we all get it by now that it's all corporate *beep* Disney won't air what older people want to see, they only air what the younger media wants to see. They aim for children between the ages of 8-14, anyone that exceeds those ages are secondary demographics, which they do consider, but not as much. The thing to remember is that disney will never, ever change. Disney has too much corporate power and money to care about "what's real". TV works this way (especially stations like Disney, MTV, BET, VH1, LIFETIME ect.): If It's sex, it sells. If its pretty white girls, it sells. If it's pretty black girls with light skin and long hair, it sells. If its pretty boys, it sells. If its anything too close to reality, it doesn't sell. Disney is all about the fantasy. So of course, none of its real, but the point is that it sells. And it's clear that Hanna Montana, The Suit Life of Zack and Cody, High School Musical, and that Vanessa [girl] sell...

the end.

It's the *beep* politically correct FCC as someone on youtube said: "this movie is proof that everything went to *beep* after 9/11"

Man I love this conversation, this was probably the nicest made for tv kids' film ever produced by Disney. It's massively flawed, with loopholes, but it was funny, sad, and sweet all at once.

Disney won't release them because they probably don't want anything to do with these films at the moment. I mean the current group of kids and teens today live in a world where adults think it's better to completely detach them from reality. Which is something I'm grateful I never had to experience being born in the 80s. I think a lot of those born in the 80s can totally relate to what I'm about to say.

My mother never lied to me, in fact we watched The Neverending Story and cried together when Artax died. And believe me it's still heartbreaking to me as an adult, how my mother let me watch this as a young kid without giving in and turning the tv off is beyond my comprehension. It's so easy to lie to your kids and make them think life is beautiful, happy, sunny, perfect. You don't want your kids to feel pain and that's the type of demographic Disney is trying to pander to. Disney only does what makes it bucks, they were pandering to kids in the 80s and 90s too, but we were treated differently. We were allowed to explore emotions like tragedy, sadness, pain, humor, and mix them all together.

Disney has not changed, the demographic has changed sadly.

Sure some of the management has changed at Disney, but in reality it's really the parents who have changed the most. Parents won't let their kids see or experience anything anymore.

I can remember when all of this started too, it really started with those born in the late 80s and early 90s. I went to school with kids born a year younger than myself so I noticed a few differences. I recall a lot of my friends telling me things like "I'm not allowed to watch this show or channel" and thinking how crazy that was. The word "not allowed" did not exist in my house. My mother had faith in the fact that I wouldn't do horrendously awful things that would scar me for life, heaven forbid parents should have faith in the goodness of their own kids anymore.

That's what a lot of those born in the late 80s, early 90s had to deal with. A simple lack of faith in their own good morals, which I thought that was bad enough at the time. Now it's morphed into something quite disturbing. Now it seems like parents are afraid to let their kids see reality and now detach their children from anything resembling that. Kids are not allowed to see death anymore in their cartoons and films for fear that seeing Mufasa die on screen would scar or traumatize them for life. They are not allowed to hear the words like sex, crap, damn, etc... for fear that it would traumatize them for life. There's no harm in saying the word damn or crap, it's just a little bit of childish playfulness.

My god, how weird is that...at least the late 80s and early 90s births were only lied to about reality. They were not withheld from it by their own parents like kids today are.

So gone is the spunk and pizzaz that kids' entertainment once had; the ability to laugh and mock your elders, the ability to indulge in a bit of "naughtiness" or playfulness as a small child. Man adult figures are so damn strict today, I can remember my mid 80s born brother mocking his teachers in their own voice in his classrooms. Today he would probably have been expelled.

Gone is the time where kids are allowed to indulge in their own imaginations or even left to their own devices to invent play and mold their own personalities. Parents want to mold the personalities of their children it seems.

That is the role Disney has chosen to undertake simply because Disney is a corporation now concerned with making bucks.

The role that assists parents in molding picture perfect, owellian youth figures, rather one that encourages uniqueness and individuality above all else. I guess you could argue that those values were lost after 9/11, creativity and individuality is no longer encouraged anymore. Now society is just a rotting shell of what it once was in the 90s, only instead of individualism we encourage self service and survivalism.
