• . . Everything Does Come Back

    It seems a great number of the ships are now showing High School Musical 3 . . . . . . . . with the large number of families cruising now . . . . . on the open air decks with the big screens. This is great for the kids . . . . . . . as it seems to be attended by a couple of hundred little ones from age 4 to 14. The younger kids bring their parents or grandparents along . . . . . to sit with them. Most of these elders . . . . . . . . appear to have a hatred for the movie.

     
    Then I begin to wonder . . . . . . Why?
     
    It is a musical about high school kids . . . . . . . some of which are clean cut and into sports. The movie (sorry . . . . musical) involves a good number of song and dance routines. Before reaching the end, the nicest of the kids . . . . . . . . . “hook up” with each other and go on to . . . . . presumably . . . . have a perfect future together.
     
    The lead characters . . . . . . . . as I am told by my grandkids . . . . . . are a real “attraction” to both boys and girls alike. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are . . . . . I guess you could say property of Disney . . . . . making the term “sex symbol” not allowable.
     
    Then I begin to wonder . . . . . . . Why?
     
    Why would these kids be so gaga over Danny & Sandy? Wait . . . . did I say Danny & Sandy? I must be mixing up my high school musicals. John Travolta played Danny, and Olivia Newton John played the role of Sandy. Not Zac and Vanessa. But now that I am thinking about it . . . . . . these movies (sorry . . . . musicals) are pretty much the same. Are they not? The basis of the movies (sorry . . . . musicals) seems very much the same.
     
    Well, either way . . . . . . . Grease went on to become a classic . . . . and my grandkids have a DVD copy . . . . . . . right next to their collection of the High School Musical series. Can those Disney movies (sorry . . . musicals) obtain the same success? Can Zac Efron have the same appeal as John Travolta? And what will happen of Vanessa? Is she destined for the middle pages of a magazine?
     
    I find . . . . that kids actually enjoy Grease just as much. Maybe more. But the marketing money . . . . . there is the big difference and High School Musical easily wins that one.
     
    I guess it’s true . . . . . . . . everything does come back . . . . . in one form or another. Pretty soon my grandkids will be listening to Beatles music.  
              OMG!    I think they already are.
