So… I like Austin and Ally, and I even, to an extent like High School Musical. So surely one that combines the two would be something I really enjoy, right?
Starstruck was released in 2010 and was one of the most popular February Releases for the Disney Channel. It was also the first Disney Channel Original Movie from the 2010s Did they start on a high note? Let’s take a look and see why my answer is no
2020 – f*ck this year so hard
COVID-19 has changed the game, it may take a very long time
for things to go back to normal, even with better testing and other measures
coming into force. Physical distancing will likely be part of the new normal,
making the film industry, which relies on having butts in seats, a really shaky
area. The one plus has been the rise of streaming services. Some of the year’s
films have been released on-demand and some directly onto streaming services.
Disney+ came out in the UK just as I had to go into
self-isolation. I had paid for a year upfront and got into a few things, this year
I did a full retrospective on Austin and Ally and I plan to do full
retrospectives on other series, one of which is coming very soon. I also plan
to cover a few series episode by episode: the Mandalorian, the Marvel stuff
when it eventually comes out, and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
But to cover that show, I first really need to cover High School Musical itself, and since the motto of 2020 seems to have been “we’re all in this together” however disingenuous that may sound, I feel like it’s a good way to round off 2020.
