Get your head in the game.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
We are back.
Happy New Year, and welcome to "What's Up, Disney+," where
we talk all things Disney+.
Yes, we are so happy to be back again.
We miss you all.
But, of course, we got some great goodness for you today.
How were your holidays, Andre?
Did you watch anything binge-worthy?
Actually, I did.
I've been revisiting the "X-Men" animated series from the '90s.
And, of course, I had to check out "Soul."
That got released on Christmas day from Disney and Pixar--
such a great movie, such good music in that movie.
Woo!
It is one of the most incredible
movies I've ever seen.
And I was happy to watch that on Christmas Day.
I'm all about the '90s, man.
I've been binging "Recess," just re-living
my childhood for the holidays.
Nice.
But enough about us.
We are all in this together for the celebration of "High School
Musical"'s 15th anniversary.
And, at the center of today's episode--
I'm really excited about this--
we are talking about Marvel Studios' "WandaVision."
I hope you are all warmed up.
The games begin now.
One might say we are officially breaking
free from the status quo.
And today, I actually brought a friend.
He played Chad Danforth, East High's most spirited athlete.
Corbin Bleu is here.
How are you?
[LAUGHS]
I'm great.
How are you?
Fantastic.
Cra,zy to see you over Zoom but happy to see
your smiling faces either way.
You guys look great.
Aw, thank you.
We're all in this together, even if we
have to be online with it.
[LAUGHTER]
There goes Andre with the puns.
It's been 15 years since "High School
Musical" first premiered.
How does it feel looking back on it today?
[LAUGHS] It's-- it's a beautiful gift that
continues to keep on giving.
Musicals had a little bit of a decline
or at least they just weren't in the spotlight as much.
To be a part of a project that all of a sudden gave this
resurgence, and even now, with "Hamilton,"
being able to watch that on Disney+,
it's amazing how it really was sort
of the first domino for this resurgence of musicals.
And I love how new generations continue to watch it.
It's really crazy.
It's really surreal.
But it's-- it's beautiful.
Speaking of musicals, we're dying to know what you think
about "High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series."
"The Series."
[LAUGHTER]
I got to say, I mean, they cast a rockin' cast.
When we were all doing it 15 years ago,
it was just a bunch of kids that were loving it,
and all really worked hard.
They really are the next wave of it.
They embody what-- what it is.
Thank you for paving the way with "High School Musical"
to lead to the series.
There were plenty of others that paved the way prior to us.
We were just carrying the torch on with the next line.
So Corbin, in celebration of the 15-year anniversary
of "High School Musical," we thought we would ask you 15
rapid-fire questions about you, the cast, and the "High
School Musical" trilogy.
You ready to play?
I'm already sweating.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
ANDRE: What was your go-to snack during filming?
Instant mac and cheese, the-- the little ones in the cup.
Nice.
JENNY: What's a song/scene you wish you were in?
Oh, "Scream." The big rotating room?
ANDRE: Yeah.
CORBIN BLEU: That was the coolest thing.
I would have loved to get in that contraption.
ANDRE: Who flubbed their lines the most?
Everybody was usually pretty on it.
JENNY: Are you actually good at basketball?
No.
And it's not a secret.
It's not a secret that I'm not.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm-- I'm horrible.
You sing a song called, "I Don't Dance,"
but you can dance.
But-- - Uh huh. Yep.
ANDRE: --you act like you play basketball,
but you can't play basketball. [LAUGHS]
There it is.
ANDRE: Which cast member was most like their character
on set?
Monique, she really, like, embodied that character
even going on into life.
JENNY: What other character would you have loved
to play and in what scene?
Lucas's character Ryan is amazing.
Probably "I Want It All" would have been also a really,
really fun one to do.
ANDRE: "High School Musical 1," "2," or "3,"
which one is your favorite?
Ooh, "3." We had the biggest budget on that one.
JENNY: Name one of Chad's best qualities?
He's the rallier.
He can get everyone jazzed or psyched about whatever it is
that they've got ahead of them.
ANDRE: Who is the best dancer?
Oh, I mean--
[LAUGHTER]
I'm trained.
I grew up doing it.
I would definitely have to say, I think me.
JENNY: Who on set could bring the house down
with their singing?
Vanessa. She was the vocal queen on set.
ANDRE: Favorite couple that never
got together in the movie?
Me and Mo!
What?
Yeah!
I took her to prom.
Like, you never saw a kiss.
You never saw them, like, actually get together.
ANDRE: What scene took the longest to film?
Maybe "We're All in This Together"?
I think we shot that one over three days.
JENNY: What's a high school superlative for Chad?
Most likely to come back and coach.
That's a cool one.
Yeah, I feel like it's a more realistic one.
ANDRE: Who is the perfectionist out of the bunch?
Ashley, first one awake, she's always on set,
knew every single one of her lines.
JENNY: And finally, what team?
That's my line.
[LAUGHTER]
I gotta ask you that.
OK. Ask me.
Ask me.
What team?
(IN UNISION) Wildcats!
[LAUGHTER]
Wow, honestly, we learned a ton just now.
This has been a dream come true for us.
Thank you so much, Corbin, for being here with us.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
It was such a pleasure, guys.

Classic television meets the Marvel Cinematic Universe
when two super-powered beings attempt to live
the idealized suburban life.
This is Marvel Studios' "WandaVision."
Yes, the premiere of "WandaVision" is tomorrow,
so set those alarms.
It's finally happening.
I feel like we've been talking about this
for a very long time.
And now, we get to sit and watch.
And again, I'm so excited.
And then I love all of the classic sitcoms
that it's paying homage to.
I am thrilled.
This show was meant for me.
I'm really excited.
Yes, the whole sitcom aesthetic is
so great, even heard a laugh track a couple
of times in the trailers.
But obviously, there's something going on behind the scenes,
per se.
We don't know what.
So it's going to be nice to watch this series
and see it all unfold.
Now, get ready.
Because we caught up with the cast of Marvel
Studios' "WandaVision."
Take a look.
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Olsen.
And today, we're playing This or That Through the Decades.
1950s: Drive-in movies or sock hops?
Drive-in movies, because I don't really
know what a sock hop is.
For sure, drive-in movies.
Not a question.
Drive-in movies.
I'm a movie guy.
I'll say sock hop.
Poodle skirts or cat-eye sunglasses?
I'm going to go with cat-eye sunglasses.
Because I've already worn too many poodle
skirts in my childhood.
I'm rather partial to cat-eye sunglasses.
Cat-eye sunglasses. I think I own a bunch myself.
Lava lamps or bell-bottoms?
Bell-bottoms, absolutely.
I'm picking lava lamps.
Because I have never understood bell-bottoms.
Because I don't have a bell-shaped legs.
Oh, lava lamps, I like cool lighting.
Tie-dye shirts or paisley print?
Right now, I'm going to say paisley print,
because I'm chilly.
I own a lot of tie-dye, actually, even to this day.
I'm going to go with the paisley print.
I like some flowers.
I would rather not choose either.
But I will-- I will go with the tie-dye
just for the sake of this game.
Skateboards or roller skates?
Skateboards, I'm a kid from California.
Roller skates, but I would hurt myself doing either.
I'm going roller skates.
Because I think they're super cool and somehow still hip.
Sideburns or feathered hair?
Feathered hair, please.
I'm really partial to a sideburn.
Do I have to choose?
I like both.
Arcade games or mixtapes?
Mixtapes!
Mixtapes.
Mixtapes, 100%.
It was the best, making a mixtape for someone you love.
Shoulder pads or leg warmers?
Leg warmers, because I am always actually cold.
Shoulder pads, I think they're kind of making a comeback.
I still wear shoulder pads.
Slap bracelets or mini backpacks?
[LAUGHS] Mini backpacks.
A slap bracelet has no practical value at all,
but then nor does a mini backpack.
Mini backpacks, even though I have both.
I love slap bracelets.
Bucket hats or cargo pants?
I love a cargo pant.
Bucket hat! Just so rad, it's still rad--
would wear one if I could get away with it.
Bucket hats, even though hats never fit me,
because I have too much hair.
But I'll take it.
I'll cut the top out.
Skinny jeans or trucker hats?
Really don't like either, but I will go with skinny jeans.
Oh, definitely skinny jeans.
I can't pull off a trucker hat.
Flip-flops or halter tops?
I pick both.
I'll take flip-flops.
Oh, my goodness, halter tops.
Flip-flops.
Flip-flops, but, um-- they usually give me a blister.
"WandaVision" is a story about two super-powered individuals
who find themselves dropped into a suburban American sitcom.
We've seen a lot of them in the Marvel movies.
And here in "WandaVision," we really
get the space and opportunity to flesh out their relationship.
When we meet them, they are newlyweds moving to a new town.
And they desperately try to fit in.
At some point, Wanda and Vision
realize there's something not right about this town.
I've been a huge fan of the MCU ever since "Iron Man."
And I've loved Wanda and Vision as they've appeared
in the "Avengers" movies.
And to focus on them for nine episodes is really special.
I think what I was most surprised by was just
the amount of artistry behind the camera
to bring this to light.
The way that we are able to explore very quiet,
intimate themes and at the same time
give you the big, epic Marvel super hero
that we've all come to love.
Do not miss Marvel Studios' "WandaVision."
And it's streaming tomorrow on Disney+.
Please watch it.
It's going to be great.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, I must say, I do love a good sitcom.
You know, the situation, the comedy.
Whoa, I never put those two together.
[AUDIENCE LAUGH TRACK]
What in the world?
What in the world is right.
It's been raining cats and dogs all week.
The milkman skipped my house for the second time in a row.
And the store is fresh out of beans
for my green bean casserole.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
Uh, Jenny, I don't want to alarm you, but I think you're
trapped in a '50s sitcom.
Whatever do you mean?
OK.
This just took an interesting turn.
[LAUGHS] We will see you next time.
Make sure you stream all of your favorites on Disney+.
Andre, I do have a quick question.
What is a Disney+?
This is going to take a while.
OK.
Jenny, there's this thing called the internet.
Uh-huh.
I don't even know how to explain it.
[LAUGHS]
What team?
Wildcats!
Wildcats.
Get your head in the game!
