"SO in the end, my Best Friend became my girlfriend, My Girlfriend became my worst enemy, and my worst enemy became my Best Friend." Critically underrated line.
"But hey, that's highschool"
Word my guy
My girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend.

I thought that was genius as a kid😂
We all secretly like sky high tho 😭😭😭
True, I think is due to nostalgia though
Yeah
It's a secret?
Ye0
Secretly? I never denied it! 😂
Weird how a B class film from the 00s is better than 80% of whats on nowadays
Definitely not a b class film. And it was better than 80% off the stuff back then too. Or do u forget catwoman. Ben affleck daredevil. Electra. Judge dress etc

She also can stop global warming.
@@GuyAndMask Yeah that too, honestly being able to grow plants is insanely overpowered. She could even make a living in the lumber department, since she could grow infinite trees for wood to build houses and stuff. XD
Sky High deserved a sequel so badly and no one can tell me otherwise.
There is one called ‘Save U’ or something like that
agreed, this is such a great movie.
@@RobProb-Xit was cancelled I believe
Yeah it did
But not with this current ruined culture of ours.
Sky High was never forgotten. All the real ones still remember this banger of a classic to this day. Back when Disney was still focused on putting out quality content
Literally was looking for someone else before I commented the same. I have thought back to this movie so many times. It hits and still does.
It’s quite literally the only Disney movie I really remember
Yo I saw this as a kid on Disney channel randomly and I loved it.
As an adult, I still watch this movie. I loved this movie as a kid, actually watched it fairly recently too
exactlyyyy
This was Disney's My Hero Academia before My Hero Academia was even a thing.
Always thought there'd be a TV series after it
After reading your comment, I’m trying to remember the name of the anime where a strong guy has to blend in a wizards school
@@christianweibrecht6555 MASHLE
THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING!
AGREED!!!!!
@11:35 if I’m not mistaken wills dad hugs him here and if you think about it it’s the first time wills dad could hug his son without restraint which is pretty touching
this movie was honestly better than it had any right being. i love that line in the end "my girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend". it just makes everything feel full circle and it puts a nice bow on the movie.
right! i love that line
*chef’s kiss*
Yes! This movie has so many amazing lines. The name Warren Peace? come on!

It kind of had the feeling that it was the first thing written, like the plot bunny, and the rest of the plot followed from there, you know?
I absolutely love that the parents are simultaneously "saving the world" all the time, and excited about the idea of winning a trip to Hawaii via real estate sales.
I also love the scene where they're discussing will not having powers the dad gets excited that "he can still always go into real estate!"
@@christopherauzenne5023 they are solid parents in general, very fun, and they do learn to accept him.
Maybe Buffy should have gone into real estate
@@christopherauzenne5023
It's even funnier when you remember Kelly Preston was Hawaiian lol
Pfffffff......had this on DVD as a father at 18, me and my son would sit in my recliner and watch sky high EVERY DAY. he loved it and it's all I had. 😂 good memories.
Bruh
Can't imagine being a parent at that age but it sounds like you tried and that's what really counts! I hope you and your kid have led a blessed life
My sister and I always quote 'Never Give Up, Never Surrender' to each other whenever something slightly annoying that we are trying to overcome happen.

I love to enter rooms and quote. Un-be-lievable.
"I went through puberty twice.... for this. "Suprised Alex didn't mention this line that resonates so differently as an adult than as a teenager.
I feel he missed some good scenes. Like Layla showing her power and being almost god like. But I get it. The vid was already 18 minutes long.

Layla was literally the best part of this movie. That ending scene with her and the cheerleaders will always be iconic.
Agreed, Layla always stole the show for me, as did Warren.
agreed.
Her and save the citizen can’t be topped
Playing superheroes runs in the family :) Danielle Panabaker (Layla) ended up on the Arrowverse Flash as Caitlin, and her sister Kay Panabaker played the daughter in No Ordinary Family (think live-action Incredibles x better Fantastic Four).
"BIG MISTAKE"
One thing that really bothered me about this movie was that for the second half we’re supposed to believe that Will becomes a jerk after his powers kick in. However, Will never actually does anything mean to his friends or anyone, he joins the friend groups of the Gwen and the “hero’s table” and forgets his date with Layla, but aside from that he seems kind of passive. Gwen was the real jerk, isolating Will from his sidekicks in some boarder line abusive tactics. There is this one scene where Will goes to great his sidekick friends and Gwen just yanks him away like that is really messed up when your think about. Also, knowing that Gwen is technically an adult manipulating a high school boy and by extension his friends their interactions come off as extra creepy.
Warren Peace walked so Winter Soldier could run 😂😂😂
😂😅
It saddens me to know that this Disney film didn’t become a franchise.
With all the legacy bullshit going on, they should revive this as an animated series.
Actually I’m glad it hasn’t lived on. Could you imagine it getting infected with the gender politics?
It died a hero so it didn’t live long enough to become the villain
@@TheKpa11 Oof
@@TheKpa11Dumb question, what are the gender politics?
@@-dusty_butterfly- do you really wanna know?
This is one of the most under appreciated superhero movies ever. The representation of the underdogs by giving them “lame” powers is clever, the camera angles make the movie look like a comic book, and the plot and setting feel like they’re from a superhero cartoon.
*UNCLE. UNCLE. UNCLE.*
Lame powers:: also a random goddess cause why not lol
Not to mention there are some pretty clever uses of powers at certain points, such as the training scene with Warren, and there are a few very well written characters.
@@paulkanja To be fair, the movie acknowledges her powers are awesome from the get go, she just doesn't wanna buy into the school's kool-aid because, as she puts it, it sounds fascist. She realy just sits there in the power test.
I feel there was an idea to make this movie much heavier, or maybe it WAS heavier in the earlier versions of the screenplay, but it just got a lighthearted tone because disney thought the premise would sell better to little kids.
@@13AndreFalcao666 Ah was a bit too good I forgot Disney made it,, all makes sense now
Thier was alot of things to appreciate about this movie the main ones for me being Wills character and the fact he actually had a spine that he was willing to stand up for his friends against his super powered dad and even against the girl he liked once he realized shes a total B
This was so good. It’s surprisingly well made and well written
A minor detail I appreciated is that Layla ends up in sidekick class due to her protesting the assessment rather than Coach Boomer somehow not comprehending how powerful plant manipulation is.
Yeah she was a conscience objector to the whole thing
She literally calls it fascist.
I first saw this movie I was like 25 and I was in AWE by that line.
It's really sad how the writers clearly wanted to tell a much deeper tale but they seemingly had to drop it, but some of it still wound up in the final product, and it makes you think "god... What if?"
What gets me is some of the kids that got into hero class, I mean shape shifting how’s that gonna be useful against supervillains?
@@joshholland8564 It really depends on the array of changes you can get
@@joshholland8564 a spy
This is one of those movies where it feels like everyone involved had a blast. That kind of thing really carries through the screen.

And every character gets their own little individual arc. Honestly a underrated movie. I could see a whole show being built based on the film tbh. The end where the school is falling and the gerbil is chewing on the wire killed me as a kid 💀
Yeah
Literally one of my favorite movies.
9:09 bro you didn’t have to attack all of us like that
Rewatching this movie and realizing that the girl that can duplicate herself might have some issues. She's literally laughing at her own jokes through the movie 😆

I feel like we never forgot sky high… we just never had a reason to complain about it.
Sky high is literally one of my favorite movies of all time
Totally right, it certainly isn’t a “forgotten” movie as he is claiming. At least from my experiences and observations
for me its that when i saw it i remember it existing, but i couldn't of told you anything about before finishing the video
Amen! Gonna watch it now . . .
I genuinely thought it only came out like 2 years ago because Disney started playing it again
Sad, but true. Should have been celebrated
I never forgot this movie. I grew up watching it throughout my childhood even though it came out before I was born. My parents showed it to me so often that I grew an appreciation for it.
Can't mention this classic without mentioning Up Up and Away. They def pulled inspiration from that film~
They say Ron Wilson doesn’t have powers, yet he’s strong enough to carry this entire movie? Seems legit.
“I went through puberty, TWICE, for this?!”
Best line ever 😂😂😂
She's Ramona from Scott Pilgrim lol
@@cheza1009yup
I literally just found you this morning in my recommended feed... I laughed so hard on the first video, I watched another and another. And then, when I saw your animated Avatar dancing to the pictionary music, I had to subscribe... Through tears of laughter I continue this vid...
literally everyone remembers it and loved it growing up lol
“In the end, my girlfriend became my arch enemy, my arch enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend. But hey, that’s high school.”
*cue “I’ll stop the world and melt with you” cover and Will and Layla making out in the air that I thought was the most romantic scene ever*
I love this movie.
Fucking iconic haha
Now I have to go find the ending just for this
Neat anime title
Those were the most memorable lines for me along with:
"I made out with an old lady!?!?" & "I can control technology with my mind" (I still want that power to this day.)
I still love that song 🤣💙💚💙💚 I’ll stop the world and melt 4 you
One of the main points with Layla was that she was super powerful. The movie acknowledges it, Layla just refused to 'show off' during gym so she got placed in sidekick class. Honestly, her refusing to show her powers to the coach was kinda silly but also 100% a hill that a fourteen-year-old girl would die on so it tracks.
From what I remember layla didnt want to fight crime in the traditional sense either. She wanted to give food away and stuff
@@mashur4880 Layla becomes Killer frost in the flash.
She could use it to grow some mushrooms or leafs
She had principles that she stuck to, I don’t agree with how much of a stickler she was about it. But honestly super respectable, and when she threw hands….woooof 😮
@@mashur4880 like atom eve
Sky high was one of those movies I was randomly bought for a birthday or Christmas and ended up watching like 200 times
Still one of my favorites. The soundtrack inspired me to write a poem about the movie itself and nostalgia. It's kind of meta too cause I wrote and published this in college in 2019 but I was only six years old when the movie originally came out.
Sky High was filmed at my university and people there make it well known ALL THE TIME 😂 could never forget this masterpiece
What university was it?
@@urluckyimapotato9699 it’s CSUN, California state university, northridge
Hello fellow Matador.
@@teclego007 omg a Matador! Super cool
CSUN
They made Layla extremely pacifist. That's why she didn't do jacksht with her powers up until near the end. Out of everyone in the cast, her and Warren had the strongest powers.
Plant powers have insane possibilities and on one hand its kind of sad she doesn't tap into their full potential, but on the other hand I think thats the difference between someone whos peaceful and somoene whos harmless and giving her insanely powerful abilities drive home that she chooses not to fight
She was supposed to be laid back hippy type so of course she was a pacifist
@@RealTalkAlexV My point exactly??
@@ProjectLethargic
Still, it's a problem often seen though. The OP characters are hella nerfed for the plot 😅
Perfuma, from She-Ra 😂
One of my top 10 movies in terms of re-play value. My kids were young when it came out so that probably affects that positively 😊
I remember Sky High because Winstead lookS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in that movie. Plus it was a pretty awesome movie, especially with that twist they throw at us towards the end.
I love how in the end the principal goes "I'm not Wonder Woman, you know," when she was, quite literally, Wonder Woman (she was played by Lynda carter).
When she first appeared in the movie I was all “yes, this makes sense” but then the self awareness was revealed at the end and I squealed 😂
Is that fujimoto's profile pic?
Also puts them in the Wonder Woman universe meaning will stronghold could go up against superman
Yes, was going to say that. Lynda Carter is still best Wonder Woman
I will remember the “My girlfriend became my worst enemy, my worst enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend-but hey, that’s high school” line from the end of the movie till the day I die. 😝

That phone joke with Will's dad is still great even to this day. Funny to think how something simple as super strength could cause you worry about things like breaking a phone constantly.
I feel this movie wanted to really lean into the boring things we never see about heroes... The creators of Kim Possible were involved, I believe. Could it be they pitched a show and Disney just greenlit a movie?
My mom used to laugh a lot at this part because it reminds her of herself, always snapping her pens in half when she's angry and needing to pull out a new one.
Or how almost every character that has super strength seems like have a minor anger issue for some reason
@@ARealPerson21 no they just get angry like any other person.. regular people clench their fist or like to punch a pillow.. super strength heroes are the same just if they had a phone in their hand and got angry it just so happens to break the phone🤷🏻♂️

Awesome vid, thanks for the laughs. I needed it tonight! Pictionary dance!
The fact that Wonder Woman herself is the principal of a superhero high school makes me really happy. Also Sky High walked so Boku No Hero Academia could fly. Oh and RIP to Kelly Preston who played Mrs. Stronghold in this.
Nope. I disagree, I think the X-men franchise was a much bigger and more likely influence, I don’t think Sky High ever had that reach outside of the 2000s generation.
I didn’t know she passed away. 😔 I loved watching this movie as a kid.
@@theperson8539 …what does your comment have *anything* to do with what OP said?
@@slsthewriter1299 The penultimate line?
@@theperson8539 What's wrong with just saying "second-to last line"? We ain't writing essays. And. You do realize that Almight's costume LITERALLY looks like the dad's suit, right? And, MHA is really for the 2000s generation. And, X-Men is not a parody/commentary on the superhero genre. Both Sky High and MHA are. And more specifically, they're both parodying X-Men specifically, so while sure, X-Men contributed, Sky High came before MHA with the same premise.
The weirdest and most infuriating part of that movie was Layla letting that "hot-fire god-snack" go because of... Will..
ugh i know. that scene of them in the chinese restaurant had more chemistry than every scene of layla and will combined
@@mandyyyy1255 Gurl, exactly. They were burning and we were rooting for them... Layla had more chemistry with Will's dad than with him. Iugh
But Layla had to get with Will because they're pRoTAgOnisTS.
edit: Note the sarcasm
I like to imagine after dating Will she realizes how emotionally immature he is for the kind of relationship she wants and calls it quits while still remaining friends cause they do have a close bond but not a romantic one. And as the years go by Waren and Layla have a slow burn but ultimately end up together!
the movie ended in tragedy
i have watched this a lot of time so seeing u do this vid brings me joy
One thing I did appreciate about this movie is that, while it becomes a moot point, once Will’s parents know that he doesn’t have powers the two of them talk to each other over it. Will’s Dad realizes that, although disappointed, he doesn’t love his son any less. And as for the family business “He can always go into real-estate!”
The way he delivers that real estate line is both so cute and hilarious I swear 😂 he's so excited about it lol
The hilarious thing is that this movie came out in 2005 and the real estate bubble would have burst around the time he graduated meaning that he probably wouldn’t have been able to go into real estate either 😂.
Of course, he Did muse about his son falling into a vat of radioactive waste on the one in a million chance it might give him superpowers. (Or kill him.)
@@stickman019 actually. a real estate market crash is an ideal time to buy real estate. Buy low sell high. A lot of people are very wealthy now because they bought houses on the cheap during the financial crisis. But if they started buying before the dip then well yeah... that would have sucked
@@MelvinJoseFilmsSkyhigh was filmed at California State University. California was one of the states hit the hardest by the 2008 housing crash seeing a 50% decline in property values. This was good for new buyers but not for someone who holds a lot of real estate already. When the housing bubble burst home values plummeted and the agencies that were hit the hardest were the one that held vast amount of real estate as the amount of foreclosures made it difficult to capitalize on those investments. It is said in the movie that his parents are the most successful real estate agents in Maxville so, we can assume they hold a large amount of these properties which would sharply eat into their profits. Finally, the tumbling price of real estate would also mean lower barriers to entry would also increase competition as less capital would be required to enter the market. I was oversimplifying my first comment as it was meant to be taken as a joke but, there is a possibility that they were able to capitalize on the collapse. Since he would have graduated when the the initial shock happened, they might not know how widespread the effects would be and he could have been disillusioned from entering such a volatile market. It's just interesting that an off-handed comment in the movie was so impacted by a future event that shook the basis of our economy. It would be akin to someone in a late 90s movie saying “We’ll meet back here in the world trade center in 10 years.”
dude, seriously, for many of us, this was like half our childhood right here; so many fond memories
Sky High: The Sort Of All Might Prequel movie.
This was always one of the best movies to re-watch, I remember watching it countless times throughout my childhood.

No one ever talks about the camera angles/ frames all being sideways to give this film a darker tone. This film was nothing like anything I have ever seem and am so thankful it exists. This was Disney at their best!
Also a comic like feeling
Alex commented on the Dutch angles
I think we all remember it, but we’re just not willing to admit it.
this was one of my favorite movies as a young boy. couldn't get enough of it.
I never actually forgot about this movie. It's one of the few that stuck out to me because of how enjoyable it was and the characters didn't suck.
The bus driver is legit the best character ever but... Lol so weird why the hell did he just wanna give his contact info to a kid?!?!
I did. Because it never grew on me and I was outgrowing these kind of films by that point.
He gave his contact info to a kid because he was trying to get connections to heroes. And that kid is basically Superman's son. So it's like "hey uh...give my business card to your dad? You know, if he ever needs any help or anything." That's why. Or, considering the premise is that the kids will get powers, he was maybe banking on the kid becoming a hero later.
Networking. Bus driver is deep into hustle culture
I've always wanted a sky high sequel where the sidekicks learn how to focus and super charge their powers. Maybe the glowing boy learns how to shine blindingly bright and focus light into hot lasers. The melting kid could trick a villain into drinking him then the melting boy controls the villains body from the inside.
Flubber effect.
The drinking one sounds like Aqua Necklace from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure; it almost kills the protagonist and his really overpowered friend before the adventure even started.
And Layla just becomes Poison Ivy 🤣
How does one make the guinea pig girl more powerful?
I always thought there’d be a sequel too. Or a spin off tv show
This was my favorite movie growing up. I couldn't even tell you how many times I watched it lol. Best superhero movie of all time.
What's really funny about the lemon joke where she couldn't make lemons is that limes and oranges make lemons humans crossbreed the different fruits to get them. Meaning she's got control over the natural plants not man-made ones
Sky High is genuinely one of the most fun DCOMS and deserves so much more love (and a sequel, if not two!) Fun fact: Two of the writers from Kim Possible worked on it, which probably explains why it holds up as well as it does today.
Plus if I remember correctly, not only were they planning for a sequel, but they also were thinking about getting Layla and Warren together at the end (as we deserved!) I'm very much blanking on where this is from, but I know there was a lot buzz about it a few years ago. I just wish we got to learn more about this world and these kids - there were rumors of a sequel back in 2016, but obviously that didn't happen. Maybe one day...
It actually wasn't a DCOM; it had a theatrical release and wasn't made for the channel.
It's not a DCOM. But there *was* a DCOM made in the early 2000s that had a similar premise about a teen with no powers and a superhero family. It was called Up, Up and Away.
It's literally My Hero Academia
and then the fascism hits lmao
@@sunspotmill1291 up up and away was a much better story.
Sky High was unironically a great movie but Warren Peace as a second male lead was the true tragedy of our generation. He deserved his own movie 😤
Bro Warren peace was so hot my guy. Watched this movie at school one time and I developed a MASSIVE crush on him.
I think he's the guy in 10,000 BC
He ended up playing James Holden in The Expanse!
I saw this movie as a kid but didn’t think much of it until I saw this video. I rewatched it afterwords and was surprised at how well it held up after all these years.
I remember it very well! One of my favorite movies from my childhood! Superhero / comic stuff is so great as a kid and even as an adult! I loved that it had an 80's song soundtrack too! (80's song covers, not the original, just covers. Still good though!)
I think that Coach Boomer is probably the most memorable part of the movie. That and the soundtrack. And the twist. And the ending scene. OH, and the Secret Sanctum.
I distinctly remember being really scared of the scene where people were being turned into babies, when I was a little kid. But other than that, watching it then and watching it now, it’s still such a great superhero movie. It’s really underrated if you ask me.
LOL SAME WHAT
ME TOO
@@cathavingfun too true
omg i remember being afraid of that as a young person too !! ahaha
I literally had to leave the theater
An aspect I always love about this film is that, despite the fact it's live action, I feel this film is a great example/lesson in character design and how you should design them. all the character's outfits and designs reflect themselves and also hint at what their abilities are (I personally think great character design can tells you about the character/hint at what they can do). The glow kid wears mostly white, yellow and neon green which all reflect the idea of glowing/light (plus his fashion is meant to be flashy, key word "flashy) the melting kid wears all orange throughout the film which makes him look like a giant dreamsicle/popsicle which hints at his melting powers, the goth shapeshifter has a tie-die look to her clothes which style has a morphing quality to it, and will is dressed in red, white, and blue which makes him come off as the "all-american boy"/make him look similar to superman which he kind of is in terms of powers and role.
Additionally, I love the humor when it comes to superheroes/tropes. the film's humor doesn't come off as just mocking the idea of superheros, it doesn't feel like them going "hah hah aren't these comic tropes just stupid and ridiculous" It honestly feel like the creators have a massive love of superheros and were just asking "hey what would daily life for a superhero be". The film really does explore that concept really well, aswell as the concept of a superhero school greatly & in cool ways. Like how will's dad just has dozens of phones in case he breaks one, how they made changing into their gym uniforms into an actual test (superheroes would need to learn to quickly change into their outfits) or how the gym class just has a car to drop on anyone with superstrength because one of the most famous comic cover's of all time is superman (one of the first superheroes) lifting a car.

Dude! Sky High is blood awesome!
@@taytonlove7872 eh there’s been longer. It’s fine
@@taytonlove7872 Doesn't really matter, though...
Stop hating on me
I remember this movie. Always blow my mind when I found out that the band they might be Giants did a song on there love that band and I love this movie
I remember every scene from this film. It's a crime that there wasn't an immediate sequel.
I wanted to see Zack go from barely glowing to developing out of control laser powers and become totally overpowered, with a totally out of control ego, verging on supervillainy.
So no one is going to talk about how he completely left out Warren Peace. He is literally one of the best character in the movie😊
Yea it sounds like this guy barely heard about it lmao
Ikr 💯
Warren Peace is one of the best names given to a character.
10:37 ?????
Really? Completely left out? Did u watch?
The fact that we never got a sequel is the most depressing thing of adulthood yet😢
Yeah I read somewhere it was supposed to have a TV show but it got canceled
It's not depressing at all, this never needed a sequel
I agree with ninja here, this movie is good enough by itself. Everyone wants a sequel until it isn’t as good as the original then everyone can’t stop complaining.
@@dariusdafiggait's surprising that Disney didn't really made one since it has like a potential to be a franchise
I've seen this movie a few times in my life. It's not one I own or actively seek out but it's one I do always want to watch when it randomly pops up. So it's definitely a lot better, and just simply fun, than a lot of other movies.
This was one of my favorite superhero movies when I was a kid!!! I love it so much
This is one of those movies that you can watch more than once and each time you do you always end up smiling. It still hits.
I have to wonder, how did Will’s parents not know that he didn’t have super powers? Considering he was 14 years old, you’d think that by the time he became a teenager, they’d realize it.
Plot
In the movie, he put more weight on the bar in his room after he was done using it.
@@StevenCenname Might be misremembering, but I think he also unscrewed the hinges of a door to make it look like he ripped it off. So basically, the kid was setting up stunts to trick the parents into thinking he had powers. And the parent's just never questioned or got suspicious because of COURSE their son was super, duh.
@@DCreed013 these are the type of parents who raise either Karens or under confident people.
My cousin didn't know her 14 yo daughter was pregnant until the 8th month. Sometimes people just don't notice day-to-day things
Love this movie, I have watched it many times and have nothing forgotten it.
I remember it. Still watch it sometimes. Love that movie.
I remember sky high. I still have the soundtrack TO THIS DAY. We need a sequel. It's BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS 😭
I'm now having a crisis over this kjandkjcnadkjcnfkj
Might get a Disney+ show!
No thanks. It would probably be made for “modern audiences”
EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD 🔥🔥🔥
naur if we get a sequel rn, it'd be pretty bad like that sharkboy and lava girl sequel 🤢
I really liked the last line in the movie "in the end my girlfriend became my enemy and my best friend became my girlfriend and my enemy became my best friend " I still laugh when I remember that
There actually was a Disney channel movie called ‘Up Up And Away’ that came out earlier which had the same concept.
Boy has superhero parents, doesn’t have powers of his own, and has to fight rather goofy bad guys.
I literally watched Sky High last week. I grew up with that film.
I know you say the plot could be better if the MC accepted himself for being a powerless sidekick, but I think the route they went also works. Someone goes from being an outsider to an insider and they're forced to accept that they're no better than those they left behind on the outside. Will left his old friends for a while (this was mostly because his classes changed), and needed to realize that they were there for him when back before he was socially accepted while his new friends only like him because he changed..
