ANDRE: Today, we're heading to summer camp
with season 3 of "High School Musical: The Musical:
The Series," going to infinity and beyond with "Lightyear,"
and so much more.
I'm Andre.
JENNY: And I'm Jenny.
This is "What's Up, Disney+," where
we talk all things Disney+.
Brought to you by Geico.
Switch today, and see all the ways you could save.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
And once she turned on the lights,
she finally realized she was still in high school.
[EVIL LAUGH] [THUNDER RUMBLES]
No!
No, no, too scary.
Jenny, you're scaring the campers.
Sorry about that, Andre.
This summer, "High School Musical: The Musical:
The Series" is heading to Camp Shallow Lake, where
the Wildcats and their fellow campers
stage a high-stakes production of "Frozen"
and determine who is best in snow.
The campers have plenty to sing about in season 3,
including songs from "Frozen," "Camp Rock,"
and of course, "High School Musical."
Not only that, there are special guest cameos,
featuring Meg Donnelly from the "ZOMBIES" franchise,
Jason Earles from "Hannah Montana," JoJo Siwa, Jesse
Tyler Ferguson, and the man himself,
Corbin Bleu from the original "High School Musical" films.
Now let's gather around the campfire
to recap last season of "High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series."
JENNY: In season 2, the students
begin preparing for what they assume
will be the spring musical, "High School Musical 2."
ANDRE: But after Miss Jenn encounters her high school
ex-boyfriend and rival Zack Roy, who
heads North High's drama department,
she has a new announcement for the students.
JENNY: East High's musical suddenly
changes to "Beauty and the Beast,"
and Miss Jenn enters their production
in a competition to win the award against North High.
But, well, mostly against Zack Roy.
ANDRE: Ricky gets the lead as Beast.
And Ashlyn, to her surprise, gets the part of Belle.
Also, new girl Lily arrives at East High ready to cause
a bit of trouble.
But after she fails to secure a role in the musical,
she happily transfers to North High.
JENNY: The drama continues as Nini
ultimately decides to return to East High,
much to Ricky's excitement.
And the competition heats up when North High
decides to also do "Beauty and the Beast"
for their spring musical.
Nini goes viral after Carlos posts one
of her songs on social media.
And although Nini and Ricky are not separated by distance,
their relationship becomes even more strained.
Add a confession of unrequited feelings from Gina to Ricky,
and the true spirit of high school is in full swing.
JENNY: North High steals a costume piece from the East
High production, and rehearsal is canceled after the students
trespass to get it back.
EJ and Gina start to hit it off, and
Nini and Ricky break up to pursue
their individual passions.
Ricky also manages to sprain his wrist after a high-wire
stunt gone wrong.
ANDRE: Opening night finally arrives,
and the East High students attempt to impress
the competition's judge.
Despite many fumbles, successes, and a stolen harness
from the production, courtesy of Lily,
the East High students ultimately decide to withdraw
from the competition.
JENNY: Season 2 wraps up with Big Red showing Ashlyn her name
in lights, Gina giving Nini a contact in the music industry
to jumpstart her career, and a new "High
School Musical: The Musical: The Series" couple, Gina and EJ.
What kind of drama will our East High campers
get up to in season 3?
Stream "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series"
now, only on Disney+.
And now we get to hear from the cast
and crew of "High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series."
Hey, I'm Tim Federle, the creator and showrunner
of "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,"
and this is rapid campfire questions with the cast.
I'll get it on fire for, like, two seconds tops.
Like, if it's on fire any longer,
you may as well throw it away.
There's something special on the crunch
of an outer shell marshmallow.
Browned, but not, like, too browned.
And I like to just light it on fire.
I just want-- I just want that nice, black, charcoal feeling.
You got to burn it.
It's got to be burnt all the way.
It's the best.
I don't care if there's judgment,
but I love my marshmallows burnt to a crisp. Gooey
on the inside, black and burned on the outside.
Cell phone, portable charger, whistle, fire blanket.
Phone and a hotspot.
Deck of cards.
Easy.
Like, there's so many different things you
can do with a deck of cards.
Ooh, a portable fan because there's no AC in those yurts.
I feel like I would bring a ring light.
Capture the flag, 100%.
I mean, kickball is fun as well, but capture the flag, for sure.
Definitely capture the flag.
Ooh, capture the flag.
I get so competitive.
I'm with you on capture the flag.
I love a good game of capture the flag.
Kickball, man.
I was the king of kickball back in middle school.
Don't know how to play either.
Next question.
Expect the unexpected.
Things are about to heat up.
Season 3 is all the fun under the sun and so many stars
under the stars.
Summer, drama, camp, fun, crazy, adventure, mysterious.
That's not a sentence, but that works.
JOSHUA BASSETT: "High School Musical: The Musical:
The Series" season 3 is now streaming on Disney+.
And now here's What's New.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
At last week's San Diego Comic-Con,
Disney+ celebrated the stories
you love with exclusive t-shirts, jackets, and more.
We're even wearing some in today's episode.
ANDRE: Disney+ also got the opportunity to interact with so
many amazing fans at the booth.
There were a few fun photo ops and games to play.
And of course, the panels brought
so many exciting announcements.
There's no time to waste.
Let's get right into it.
JENNY: The adventure continues.
"National Treasure: Edge of History," an Original series,
is streaming soon only on Disney+.
ANDRE: "The Orville" is setting course for Disney+
with all the missions.
All three seasons are streaming August 10.
JENNY: And Marvel fans, buckle up.
Let's take a look at the next couple of years.
ANDRE: A hero of few words returns. "I Am Groot,"
a collection of five Original shorts,
starts streaming August 10 on Disney+.
JENNY: And don't miss the brand-new trailer for "She-Hulk:
Attorney at Law," an Original series, streaming
August 17 on Disney+.
ANDRE: Looking into next year, season 2 of Marvel
Studios' "What If...?," an Original series, is streaming
early 2023 on Disney+.
We love season 1, so we can't wait to see what's next.
JENNY: Marvel Studios' "Secret Invasion," an Original series,
is streaming in May on Disney+.
ANDRE: Summer of 2023 will bring us two Original series: Marvel
Studios' "Echo," and the much-awaited season 2

as well.
Marvel Studios' "X-Men '97" and Marvel Studios' "Ironheart"
are coming to Disney+.
ANDRE: Closing out 2023 will be Marvel Studios'
"Agatha: Coven of Chaos," an Original series
streaming in winter.
And the excitement continues into 2024 when Marvel
Studios' "Daredevil: Born Again,"
an Original series starring Charlie Cox and Vincent
D'Onofrio and Marvel Studios' "Spider-Man: Freshman Year,"
an Original animated series.
Star Command. Star Command, do you read?
This is Star Command.
You are clear to launch in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
[BUZZING]
Permission to fly with style?
Permission granted.
Wa-hoo!
Yeah!
Wow.
I'm in space. - Andre, we're back.
Oh, oh.
Oh, ha.
We just can't get enough of "Lightyear," the sci-fi action
origin story of the legendary space ranger Buzz Lightyear,
who embarks on an intergalactic adventure
alongside a group of ambitious recruits
and his robot companion, Sox.
Now let's hear from the cadet cast and crew of "Lightyear."
Today we're going to play two truths
and a lie, space edition.
We're going to do our best to pick the lie
amongst the facts about outer space
and the making of "Lightyear."
To infinity--
--and beyond.
KEKE PALMER: Red dwarf stars are the most common
kind of star in our universe.
There are seven main types of spectral stars.
Red- or orange-colored stars have
higher temperatures than blue- or white-colored stars.
I'll say the lie is that the red dwarf stars are the most
common star in the planet.
We think the temperatures are wrong.
Yeah.
We're saying temperatures are a lie.
That last one I think is a lie.
[DINGING]
Right on.
A lightyear is a unit of astronomical distance
equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year.
A lightyear is equivalent to about 10 trillion miles,
and the sun is 0.00001581 lightyears away from Earth.
The idea that a lightyear is equivalent to about 10
trillion miles.
Is that the lie?
We think the trillion.
I think-- we both agree that a lightyear
is equivalent to about 10 trillion miles.
We think that may not be true.
Yes.
[DINGING]
UZO ADUBA: Hey!
We were scared.
I was like, OK, good.
We got it.
We know our science.
OK, done.
"Lightyear" is Pixar's first sci-fi action epic,
and it tells the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear,
our favorite space ranger.
Buzz is a character I've worked with for 25 years,
and I've always been really close to this character.
So "Lightyear" is everything I ever wanted in a sci-fi movie
about Buzz Lightyear exploring the world of Buzz Lightyear.
One of the most exciting things
that we got to add to the character of Buzz Lightyear
that audiences hadn't seen before is what Buzz would
look like in normal clothes.
It was really exciting to bring these kinds of costumes
for Buzz to the screen.
GREG PELTZ: Building the sets and designing the world, that
was the most exciting part for me
is it's a thing that you've never
got to see of the character.
You've never gotten to see the world that you haven't.
I think it's interesting to take a character like Buzz
Lightyear, the toy, and base a movie around Buzz Lightyear
the human, and really have the opportunity
to explore his fallibility, to explore what makes him human.
Giving audiences a peek into an old favorite in a different way
is really, really exciting and maybe makes them
go look at the toy version slightly differently as well.
ANDRE: Don't miss "Lightyear," streaming
August 3 on Disney+.
We make campfire memories with "High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series," and went
intergalactic with Lightyear.
That's our show.
Be sure to head on over to Disney+ to stream
all these and more.
Camp might be over, but friendship lasts a lifetime--
and International Friendship Day is this weekend.
Happy International Friendship Day,
and we'll see you next time.
I can provide sleep sounds if you like.
I have several options--
summer night, ocean paradise, [ENTICINGLY] whale calls?
No, no.
White noise is fine.
Very well.
Goodnight, Sox.
Goodnight, Buzz.
[HISSING NOISE]
