@@KeimoSakura Not a very good title, I'd have gone with something like Sky High Beyond and call the university something like... Galactic University isn't great but something space-related.
It's funny, but as a kid, I always thought her little sister was cuter. I forget which actress played her-I always want to say it is Sean Young, but that's not true, I don't think)
This movie did pretty much had a lot of fun with the superhero genre. I especially liked how this movie has celebrities that were actually involved in Marvel and DC projects like Kurt Russell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lynda Carter, Bruce Campbell, even Danielle Panabaker. It’s definitely one of the underrated Disney classics.
@@BatmanFan76 The funny thing is when I first watched this movie, I didn’t know that was Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Gwen/Sue Tenny/Royal Pain cause I Only became familiar with her through her performance as Ramona Flowers in _Scott Pilgrim vs the World_ and then I rewatched _Sky High_ years later and went "OMG It’s Ramona, how did I not noticed her the first time."
Sky High(2005) Danielle Panabaker played "Layla" the best friend turned girlfriend. Later she played "Caitlin Snow aka, Killer Frost" mainly in The Flash(2014-2023) TV Series.
This wasn't a Disney Channel movie -- this was on the big screen. They just played this movie a LOT on Disney Channel. Every time the *Kids In The Hall* had a scene together, we Generation X fans just had a huge smile. Kevin and Dave are hilarious. "Gwen Grayson" was a double comic book reference. Gwen Stacy was one of the girlfriends of Spider-Man; Dick Grayson was the real name of Robin (later as Nightwing) Layla is basically "What if Poison Ivy were a hero?" She's got a cool power. 33:47 -- Tom Kenny. The woman next to him is his real-life wife Jill. (she plays Karen Plankton) The writer of this movie was one of the main writers/creators of Kim Possible.
Before My Hero Academia, The Boys, and Invincible, there was... Sky High. For as seldom thought of as this movie is, it was surprisingly influential for the genre. Even Spider-Man 3 stole the throwing a guy into the ceiling head smash shot. Part of me still wonders if this movie is why Spider-Man 3 was as flamboyant as it was.
The gym teacher is the legendary Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) The nurse is from Young Frankenstein and Beerfest The bus driver is from Beerfest and is Farva from Super Troopers
6:54 - Linda Carter, she played Wonder Woman in a three-season TV series from 1975-1979. 35:12 - "Was she in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World?" - Yes, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Fun fact: Principal Powers is played by Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the 70s, which is what her line "I'm not Wonder Woman, y'know" is a reference to.
I had pretty much the same reaction to this movie: "What the heck is happening, and why do I love it so much!?" Also, Danielle Panabaker (Layla) is just a delight to watch in everything I've seen her in.
I love that Royal Pain's harlequin sidekick was Jim Rash, the dean in Community who won an Oscar for his screenplay for The Descendants (the George Clooney movie, not the Disney ones).
This film is Easily without a doubt one of Disney’s most underrated films and superhero films from the early-mid 2000’s. Just the chemistry of the cast and the action + comedy were worth watching and it’s unfortunate that Disney hardly acknowledges the film’s existence and seems more content with having the Marvel Cinematic Universe instead. I do hope we get a sequel or a Disney+ series based on Sky High someday. This film was literally _My Hero Academia_ before _My Hero Academia_ The funny thing is I didn’t know that was Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Gwen/Sue Tenny/Royal Pain cause I Only became familiar with her through her performance as Ramona Flowers in _Scott Pilgrim vs the World_ and then I rewatched _Sky High_ and went "OMG It’s Ramona, how did I not noticed her the first time." Even the same can be said with other actors I first saw but never realized it was them until I saw them in another movie, for instance Anna Kendrick who I saw her in _Scott Pilgrim_ and heard her through _Up in the Air_ and _Twilight_ but didn’t became familiar with her until _Pitch Perfect_ along with David Tennant (who I saw him in Goblet of Fire (but didn’t recognize him), but knew him through _Doctor Who),_ Robert Downey Jr. (saw him Shaggy Dog but knew him as Iron Man), Pedro Pascal (saw him in The Mandalorian but didn’t know he was in The Kingsmen: Golden Circle), Stephanie Hsu (saw her in _Shang Chi_ but knew her in _Everything Everywhere All at Once),_ Asa Butterfield (saw him in Nanny McPhee Returns (didn’t knew he was in the film), but became more familiar with him in Hugo), Chris Evans (knew him as Captain America but didn’t knew nor did I realize he was in Fantastic Four) and Chris Pine (saw him in Princess Diaries 2 (never recognize him), but knew him through the 2009 Star Trek film) and Zoe Saldaña (saw her in Avatar but didn’t realize she was in Star Trek and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl).
@@eobardthawne5246 I first knew and became more familiar with Chris Evans through the _Nanny Diaries_ which also starred Scarlett Johansson, and that was pre-Scott Pilgrim.
The couple who almost got crushed by the _Sky High_ school when they were about to buy the New House are portrayed by Tom Kenny and Jill Talley who worked together in many voiceover projects such as SpongeBob and Camp Lazlo, the former where they were SpongeBob and Karen (Planktons Computer Wife). Jill was also on _The Loud House_ as Rita Loud (the kids mother), apparently they are also husband and wife in real life.
He was even the final written note ever penned by Walt Disney who had a heart attack and passed (he smiled… a lot)… and on Walt’s desk was simply the written words Kurt Russell.
@@davidgard6699 They're not married, and they actually became a couple when they worked on the factory comedy "Swing Shift".

Kurt Russell was inover half a dozen disney movies, starting with Moseby's rangers, the 3 dexter riley movies, the barefoot executive, the horse in the grey flannel suit., super dad
I was 13 when this came out. This was a divisive movie among my friend group. A lot of them were like "But we're too old to watch this, it's not cool." But then I was there thinking (and still thinking) yeah it's cheesy as hell, but it's still a great movie. I also had a huge crush on Layla lol.

18 years prior to the canteen brawl between Will Stronghold and Warren Peace, their uncles Jerry Mitchell and Buddy Revell had a conventional fight at the car park in 3 o’clock High (1987)
7:13 I 100% for sure saw this in theatres when this came out and it was solely because Bruce Campbell was in it. We were pleasantly surprised it’s actually a decent movie, because it’s basically every John Hughes’s movie with superheroes. And the cast is actually awesome.
Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald who played two of the teachers in this are famous for being part of a Canadian sketch comedy troop called 'Kids in the Hall'. If you want to see more of them I highly recommend the 1996 comedy film "Brain Candy", which also stars all the other actors involved in Kids in the Hall and they all play multiple roles. Since KITH was an all male comedy troop they would always play female characters themselves.
@@joshuawells835 Funny thing is that their was a Disney Channel Original Movie that was released in 1999/2000 called _Up Up and Away_ which had a similar plot and premise as Sky High with the boys parents being superheroes.
I truly adore this flick. It has an incredible cast and is complete fun. Bruce Cambell was in Escape from LA with Kurt Russell as well. Completely love your reaction.
Fun fact: Kurt Russell and Disney go way back to the 60s when he was their first big teen movie star. Walt Disney's dying words were about Kurt Russell. Russell had been putting out work, consistently, for 60 some years.
Kurt and Disney go back waaaaay further than that. Kurt grew up Disney, long before any movie roles; he was in the original b&w “Mickey Mouse’s Club” tv show, alongside Annette Funicello
The main villian who was played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, also plays Hera Syndulla in Ahsoka, and she has many notable roles in mant goos movies. In real life she's married to Ewan MacGregor, (Obi Wan Kenobi).
I would think he's best known for being a member of the Kids in the Hall, arguably the second greatest comedy troupe of all time, next to Monty Python.
"Why are these fight sequences actually going hard?" Because they have an amazing stunt team behind them. One of the assistant stunt coordinators was literally David Carradine's stunt double in both Kill Bill movies. And most of the stunt crew has gone on to major film and TV projects, including Burn Notice, S.W.A.T, The Hunger Games movies, Marvel Movies, etc.
This movie is so much better than it has any right to be. I saw this one in the theater when it came out, and have loved it ever since. What really sets it apart for me is the cast. Kurt Russel and Bruce Campbell are the obvious two, but there were so many more. Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim), Danielle Panabaker (The Flash TV series), Kelly Preston (perhaps best known as Travolta's wife, but for movies Twins was probably her biggest), Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), Kevin McDonald and Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall), Patrick Warburton (Kronk)... such a loaded cast.
Both All-American Boy (Dave Foley) and the mad scientist (Kevin McDonald) played in the hilarious and long-running Canadian sketch comedy show, "The Kids In The Hall". Highly recommend.
The only thing I remember about "The Kids in the Hall" is the guy that would pinch his fingers together and say "I'm crushing your head!" while looking at people. Had no clue Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald or whoever else were in that show since I never really watched it on a regular basis back then.
Two Kids In The Hall (Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald), the original Wonder Woman, Ash, and pre-Community Dean Pelton. Amazing cast of supporting adults.
So many people are talking about Lynda Carter (the prinicipal) being Wonder Woman, but the nurse was the actress that played her mother! (In the 70s) I always found her sister Wonder Girl more attractive, but Wonder Woman was definitely iconic. The 70s had a lot of superhero tv shows in live action. Wonder Woman, Shazam, the Hulk, Spiderman, and more!
They don’t make movies like Sky High anymore. Catchy music, great scenes, interesting characters, useful life lessons…. Very educational for youngsters.
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. When I was young I used to watch it every time I got depressed. It's so good to see it again and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care and be well
Yes, the actress playing Gwen - Mary Elizabeth Winstead - was in Scott Pilgrim. She also played Hera Syndulla in Ahsoka and is married to Obi-Wan Kenobi in real life.
Personally, I find Royal Pain a rather inspiring role model of a supervillain. She just has the right mix of flare, style, flash, panache, appearance and presentation. I mean, what’s the point of being evil if you don’t get to look cool. Plus, that disguised voice by Patrick Warburton really works for her. How else would anyone take you serious with just how you look? It’s also about how you sound and what you say that matters most if you expect to be seen and heard.
I absolutely love this movie. This is one of my favorite super hero movies of all time. A perfect blend of acting, comedy, story telling, action, romance, casting and character developing.
33:45 Yes, that is Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob. I loved his short cameo. XD Also, fun fact, Mrs. Timmerman is played by his IRL wife and co-actor Jill Talley who is the voice of Karen in Spongebob too.
Kurt Russell got his first starring roles in Disney movies, back in the 60s/early70s. The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes; Now You See Him, Now You Don't; The Barefoot Executive. All Disney movies starring a young Kurt Russell.
12:16 also, just as an fyi, I think she has problems making lemons because lemons actually aren’t natural. They’re a cross breed. Thus, life never gave anyone lemons.
21:41 - "She's a senior, she's predatory!" As someone who has seen this movie before, well, I was wondering how VKunia would react to the big reveal later...
Walt Disney's last words were supposedly to write Kurt Russell's name on a piece of paper. Even he doesn't know why, best guess it's some film idea he thought Russell would be perfect for.
It’s a good story, but it’s not true. They found a piece of paper in his office that had Kurt Russel’s name on it and some notes abut a project. Walt Disney’s actual last word was “Rosebud.”
Kelly Preston has played Marney in Twins, and was married in real life to John Travolta. She appeared in Maroon 5 "She will be loved" aside from a slew of television appearances, and B part movie roles
I remember loving this as a kid and I still love it as an adult. I've watched a couple other reactions to this movie and I always enjoy re-watching this. Also, I found out that the actress who played Layla, Danielle Panabaker, played as Caitlin Snow in The Flash TV show.
*In the end, my girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend* The quote will be forever in my head Fun Facts: The reason Layla can't make lemons is because lemons are man made In the end with the high school falling that couple screaming, that guy is the voice of sponge bob and his actual wife who does the voice of Karen ( Plankton's computer wife)
I only graduated in 2018, and since then the ending of this movie has brought tears to my eyes through nostalgia, just wanting to stay forever young and in love.
Kurt Russell is no stranger to Disney movies. He was a child actor in the 1960s and early 70s and did many live-action Disney movies like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Even as an adult, he did another Disney film with Miracle about the US Olympic Hockey Team at Lake Placid in 1980...I still believe he should have been nominated for an Oscar for that performance as Herb Brooks, the coach of the Miracle team. Jetstream/Josie Stronghold is the late Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta. She passed due to cancer in 2020. She did a lot of movies like Mischief, Jerry Maguire, Twins, and For Love Of the Game. Lynda Carter, who plays the principal of Sky High, was Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in the 1970s Wonder Woman TV series. Warren Peace is played by Steven Strait, best known for playing Jim Holden on The Expanse. Dave Foley (Mr. Boy) and Kevin McDonald (Dr. Medulla) were both members of the Canadian comedy group Kids in the Hall. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Gwen Grayson. She was also Ramona in Scott Pilgrim and General Hera Syndulla in Star Wars Ahsoka, her role making Star Wars a family affair. Her husband in real life is Ewan McGregor, good ole Obi-Wan Kenobi himself. Danielle Panabaker (Layla) finished another superhero job just last year. She played Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost on the CW show The Flash for the whole series run of ten seasons and was in the crossover shows for Arrow, Supergirl, and DC's Legends Of Tomorrow. She also directed several episodes of The Flash.
Sky High always makes me smile! A superhero take on Harry Potter but different enough to be its own thing. Proof that every movie does NOT have to be a five course meal... sometimes you just want a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and whenever I feel that way, I watch something like Sky High. P.S.-Bruce Campbell is a National Treasure!
4:21 (The Lion King, Frozen, Bambi, Big Hero 6, Brother Bear) I think Disney would. 6:54 The Principal of the School also played Wonder Woman in the 1976 Wonder Woman series
So this movie is about a guy: Goes to a school for super heroes. Who starts out being bullied for having no super powers but eventually gets super strength. Has a literal hothead as a rival. Is totally dense about his best friend having a crush on him. Kohei Horikoshi totally plagerized this film when he was authoring "My Hero Academia".
20:24 "What IS this movie? We have Kurt Russell, and Bruce Campbell... in a DISNEY film?" Kurt Russell has been in so many Disney projects that one of the last notes that Walt Disney wrote in his office the day he died listed Kurt by name.
You keep saying "Disney channel movie" probably cause that is where you first encountered the movie, but this was a theatrical release from the summer of '05. I remember seeing it in the local cinema. Thanks for the fun remembrance.
Another underrated Superhero film is ZOOM, stars Tim Allen (Home Improvement and Last Man Standing) Courtney Cox (Friends) Chevy Chase (SNL and the “Vacation” movies) Rip Torn (Men In Black 1 & 2)
This was the glorious era of ridiculously famous A-list actors doing random kids movies "just because". A genre that needs to make a comeback for sure.
Kurt Russell has been a disney staple since movies like “the computer wore tennis shoes”…theres even an urban legend about Walt Disney’s last words being”Kurt Russell”
My brother, my Dad, and I saw this in theaters in Jerusalem, Israel. One thing I didn’t see a thousand miles away was Will’s dad getting him an Xbox! That was the funniest moment! 😄
Kurt Russell actually did a lot of Disney Films when he was younger. "The Barefoot Executive" "Now You See Him, Now You Don't" "The Strongest Man in the World" "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" Those are the ones I've seen. There are other Disney movies Kurt Russell has been in that I can't think of now.
No the mom isn't Wonder Woman, the principal is, Linda Carter.
Arguably the principal is Cannonball.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8psBut she first gained fame as Wonder Woman.
I swear to god I had a Mandela Effect where I thought the principal was Julie-Ann Moore.

To this day, I still don't understand how this never got a sequel. 😱

@@KeimoSakura Not a very good title, I'd have gone with something like Sky High Beyond and call the university something like... Galactic University isn't great but something space-related.

I un-ironically love this movie. It is having fun with superhero concepts and tropes without being mean about it.
Same!!!

The line I found most amusing when I first saw this: "I went through puberty twice… for this?!"

This has long been one of my comfort re-watch movies. I still throw it on every once in a while.
Sky High is Disney, but not a Disney Channel Original Movie. It's also one of those comedic superhero films that came out prior to the MCU.
@@joshuawells835 Funny thing is that their was a Disney Channel Original Movie that was released in 1999/2000 called _Up Up and Away_ which had a similar plot and premise as Sky High with the boys parents being superheroes.
I truly adore this flick. It has an incredible cast and is complete fun. Bruce Cambell was in Escape from LA with Kurt Russell as well. Completely love your reaction.
Bruce Campbell as the gym teacher is genius casting!
Fun fact: Kurt Russell and Disney go way back to the 60s when he was their first big teen movie star. Walt Disney's dying words were about Kurt Russell. Russell had been putting out work, consistently, for 60 some years.
Kurt and Disney go back waaaaay further than that. Kurt grew up Disney, long before any movie roles; he was in the original b&w “Mickey Mouse’s Club” tv show, alongside Annette Funicello
The main villian who was played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, also plays Hera Syndulla in Ahsoka, and she has many notable roles in mant goos movies. In real life she's married to Ewan MacGregor, (Obi Wan Kenobi).
34:45 That's Kevin McDonald probably best known for voicing Pleakley in Lilo and Stitch. He's also one of the Tallests in Invader Zim.
I would think he's best known for being a member of the Kids in the Hall, arguably the second greatest comedy troupe of all time, next to Monty Python.
"Why are these fight sequences actually going hard?" Because they have an amazing stunt team behind them. One of the assistant stunt coordinators was literally David Carradine's stunt double in both Kill Bill movies. And most of the stunt crew has gone on to major film and TV projects, including Burn Notice, S.W.A.T, The Hunger Games movies, Marvel Movies, etc.
I found this several years ago. And to this day it remains a Guilty Pleasure. Sky High is absolutely adorable!
"but its a Disney movie, so they won't die" WAIT... have you not seen Bambi?
Do you know how many Disney princesses have both parents?
@@Travis_D_Travesty almost none...
I'm not sure if you noticed or not, Viki, but Gwen, the villain, is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, AKA Ramona Flowers from Scott pilgrim
Were you watching the reaction? She said exactly that.
@oscardiggs246 I posted the comment at the second time she said "who is she, she looks familiar" 😂🤣. I was too lazy to delete my comment
This movie is so much better than it has any right to be.
I saw this one in the theater when it came out, and have loved it ever since.
What really sets it apart for me is the cast. Kurt Russel and Bruce Campbell are the obvious two, but there were so many more. Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim), Danielle Panabaker (The Flash TV series), Kelly Preston (perhaps best known as Travolta's wife, but for movies Twins was probably her biggest), Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), Kevin McDonald and Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall), Patrick Warburton (Kronk)... such a loaded cast.
Both All-American Boy (Dave Foley) and the mad scientist (Kevin McDonald) played in the hilarious and long-running Canadian sketch comedy show, "The Kids In The Hall". Highly recommend.
The only thing I remember about "The Kids in the Hall" is the guy that would pinch his fingers together and say "I'm crushing your head!" while looking at people. Had no clue Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald or whoever else were in that show since I never really watched it on a regular basis back then.
Killer snow so cute here😻😻
Two Kids In The Hall (Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald), the original Wonder Woman, Ash, and pre-Community Dean Pelton. Amazing cast of supporting adults.
Her face when you show her the secret sanctum 😮
So many people are talking about Lynda Carter (the prinicipal) being Wonder Woman, but the nurse was the actress that played her mother! (In the 70s) I always found her sister Wonder Girl more attractive, but Wonder Woman was definitely iconic. The 70s had a lot of superhero tv shows in live action. Wonder Woman, Shazam, the Hulk, Spiderman, and more!
A certified classic, I'm glad you got to react to this
Childhood CLASSIC right here!
Wow. I'm old! (I love this movie too, but I was already in my 30s when it came out)
They don’t make movies like Sky High anymore.
Catchy music, great scenes, interesting characters, useful life lessons…. Very educational for youngsters.
Vikki! How did you not recognize the bus driver!? You have seen Super Troopers!!!
On top of the castmembers you spotted there's also Principal Powers' actress Lynda Carter, who was Wonder Woman on the old tv series
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. When I was young I used to watch it every time I got depressed. It's so good to see it again and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Take care and be well
Yes, the actress playing Gwen - Mary Elizabeth Winstead - was in Scott Pilgrim. She also played Hera Syndulla in Ahsoka and is married to Obi-Wan Kenobi in real life.
Personally, I find Royal Pain a rather inspiring role model of a supervillain. She just has the right mix of flare, style, flash, panache, appearance and presentation.
I mean, what’s the point of being evil if you don’t get to look cool.
Plus, that disguised voice by Patrick Warburton really works for her. How else would anyone take you serious with just how you look? It’s also about how you sound and what you say that matters most if you expect to be seen and heard.
I absolutely love this movie. This is one of my favorite super hero movies of all time. A perfect blend of acting, comedy, story telling, action, romance, casting and character developing.
33:45 Yes, that is Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob. I loved his short cameo. XD
Also, fun fact, Mrs. Timmerman is played by his IRL wife and co-actor Jill Talley who is the voice of Karen in Spongebob too.
Lets not forget the coach basically physically harassed his "child" doppelgänger😵
Kurt Russell got his first starring roles in Disney movies, back in the 60s/early70s. The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes; Now You See Him, Now You Don't; The Barefoot Executive. All Disney movies starring a young Kurt Russell.
Love this film. Always said it came out just a tad too early to catch the superhero excitement.
Michael (Will) also played great role in Lords of Dogtown... and another fun cheesy movie The Forbidden Kingdom
4:24 “I don’t think the parents are going to die” 👀
Literally almost anyone in a Disney movie: yeah, my whole story is about how my parents died……
12:16 also, just as an fyi, I think she has problems making lemons because lemons actually aren’t natural. They’re a cross breed. Thus, life never gave anyone lemons.
34:47 omfg I completely forgot about that “puberty twice” line… probably the most relatable line for me 😅🏳️⚧️
@@RavenRose91 Then it would have made more sense for the tree to give her a bitter orange.
21:41 - "She's a senior, she's predatory!" As someone who has seen this movie before, well, I was wondering how VKunia would react to the big reveal later...
If you check out Kurt Russell's early work, you'll find he was a Disney kid.
Walt Disney's last words were supposedly to write Kurt Russell's name on a piece of paper. Even he doesn't know why, best guess it's some film idea he thought Russell would be perfect for.
It’s a good story, but it’s not true. They found a piece of paper in his office that had Kurt Russel’s name on it and some notes abut a project.
Walt Disney’s actual last word was “Rosebud.”
2:57
Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2: "Well about that..."
Kelly Preston has played Marney in Twins, and was married in real life to John Travolta. She appeared in Maroon 5 "She will be loved" aside from a slew of television appearances, and B part movie roles
I remember loving this as a kid and I still love it as an adult. I've watched a couple other reactions to this movie and I always enjoy re-watching this. Also, I found out that the actress who played Layla, Danielle Panabaker, played as Caitlin Snow in The Flash TV show.
*In the end, my girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend*
The quote will be forever in my head
Fun Facts: The reason Layla can't make lemons is because lemons are man made
In the end with the high school falling that couple screaming, that guy is the voice of sponge bob and his actual wife who does the voice of Karen ( Plankton's computer wife)
I only graduated in 2018, and since then the ending of this movie has brought tears to my eyes through nostalgia, just wanting to stay forever young and in love.
Funny you mentioned Wonder Woman since the lady playing the principal is Lynda Carter who played Wonder Woman on tv in the 70's.
Kurt Russell is no stranger to Disney movies. He was a child actor in the 1960s and early 70s and did many live-action Disney movies like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Even as an adult, he did another Disney film with Miracle about the US Olympic Hockey Team at Lake Placid in 1980...I still believe he should have been nominated for an Oscar for that performance as Herb Brooks, the coach of the Miracle team.
Jetstream/Josie Stronghold is the late Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta. She passed due to cancer in 2020. She did a lot of movies like Mischief, Jerry Maguire, Twins, and For Love Of the Game.
Lynda Carter, who plays the principal of Sky High, was Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in the 1970s Wonder Woman TV series.
Warren Peace is played by Steven Strait, best known for playing Jim Holden on The Expanse.
Dave Foley (Mr. Boy) and Kevin McDonald (Dr. Medulla) were both members of the Canadian comedy group Kids in the Hall.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Gwen Grayson. She was also Ramona in Scott Pilgrim and General Hera Syndulla in Star Wars Ahsoka, her role making Star Wars a family affair. Her husband in real life is Ewan McGregor, good ole Obi-Wan Kenobi himself.
Danielle Panabaker (Layla) finished another superhero job just last year. She played Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost on the CW show The Flash for the whole series run of ten seasons and was in the crossover shows for Arrow, Supergirl, and DC's Legends Of Tomorrow. She also directed several episodes of The Flash.
Kurt Russell had also voiced adult Copper in the animated film, The Fox and the Hound as well.
Sky High always makes me smile! A superhero take on Harry Potter but different enough to be its own thing. Proof that every movie does NOT have to be a five course meal... sometimes you just want a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and whenever I feel that way, I watch something like Sky High. P.S.-Bruce Campbell is a National Treasure!
This movie is so underrated its a crime that it never got a sequel
4:21 (The Lion King, Frozen, Bambi, Big Hero 6, Brother Bear) I think Disney would. 6:54 The Principal of the School also played Wonder Woman in the 1976 Wonder Woman series
I love that Linda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, played the principal in this one. Brilliant casting!
Kurt Russell owes a lot of his career when he was a young man to Disney films
So this movie is about a guy:
Goes to a school for super heroes.
Who starts out being bullied for having no super powers but eventually gets super strength.
Has a literal hothead as a rival.
Is totally dense about his best friend having a crush on him.
Kohei Horikoshi totally plagerized this film when he was authoring "My Hero Academia".
This is a guilty pleasure genre its so much fun
Omggg is that Greg?? Lets make a tomelete breaking a few Gregs. Also a lean dean machine! damn what a cast
Craig Pelton.
@@brauliob also Greg from Succession
20:24 "What IS this movie? We have Kurt Russell, and Bruce Campbell... in a DISNEY film?" Kurt Russell has been in so many Disney projects that one of the last notes that Walt Disney wrote in his office the day he died listed Kurt by name.
I love the movie so friggin much. Was a big part of my childhood.
You keep saying "Disney channel movie" probably cause that is where you first encountered the movie, but this was a theatrical release from the summer of '05. I remember seeing it in the local cinema. Thanks for the fun remembrance.
Long before I discovered Marvel and DC, this and The Incredibles were the only superhero films I ever watched and I LOVED them!!
Another underrated Superhero film is ZOOM, stars Tim Allen (Home Improvement and Last Man Standing) Courtney Cox (Friends) Chevy Chase (SNL and the “Vacation” movies) Rip Torn (Men In Black 1 & 2)
This was the glorious era of ridiculously famous A-list actors doing random kids movies "just because". A genre that needs to make a comeback for sure.
This movie is super underrated, totally better than so many other Disney originals.
*Linda Carter, the Principal, is the original live action Wonder Woman. And Kurt Russell has starred in Disney movies since he was a kid.* 😁
Kurt Russell has been a disney staple since movies like “the computer wore tennis shoes”…theres even an urban legend about Walt Disney’s last words being”Kurt Russell”
That was the most genuine Bruce Campbell reaction I've ever seen.
Literally me anytime i see him in media
My brother, my Dad, and I saw this in theaters in Jerusalem, Israel. One thing I didn’t see a thousand miles away was Will’s dad getting him an Xbox! That was the funniest moment! 😄
Kurt Russell actually did a lot of Disney Films when he was younger.
"The Barefoot Executive"
"Now You See Him, Now You Don't"
"The Strongest Man in the World"
"The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes"
Those are the ones I've seen. There are other Disney movies Kurt Russell has been in that I can't think of now.
