The Movies of the Summer

The movies that have really taken off for elementary school kids this summer aren’t the big budget Cars or Over the Hedge. It’s a couple of Disney, low-budget flicks.

All the girls are crazy for High School Musical, which wasn’t even released in theaters. It was a TV movie. My nieces know all the words to the score and organize dance parties with their friends.

Jonah is wild about Sky High, a Kurt Russell film about the son of the strongest man in the world. Major nostalgia factor for the parents, including an alternative 80s soundtrack.
