"High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special."

"High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special."

Whoo!

Blah.

[LIVELY MUSIC]

Ha! Boom, baby.

It's another episode of "What's Up, Disney+"

where we talk about all things Disney+.

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh.

Today, we are full of school, team, and llama spirit.

Llama spirit?

Well, I don't think that's a thing.

But I can certainly see us getting into the groove.

But we digress.

First things first, let's get our head

in the game with "High School Musical: The Musical:

The Holiday Special."

Yes.

And from the stage to the field, we

have the Disney+ original film "Safety,"

and to end things off with a groove, [SQUEAKS].

Translation: "The Emperor's New Groove"

has a big anniversary to celebrate.

So let's get to it.

Not only is it time to warm up for the holiday season,

but it's time to warm up for the stage once more.

"High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special"

is serving up their best pop and lock and jam and breaks

in this new holiday special which premieres tomorrow,

and it includes a sneak peek of Season

Two of "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series."

I love that title.

Same.

So Jenny, what did you think of Season One?

Drama students, drama, like real drama,

comedy, it was great.

And it's just so meta to have performances

of the original "High School Musical" songs

as well as new songs from students who are putting

on the high school musical at the school

where "High School Musical" was filmed.

This is definitely a series that does

not stick to the status quo.

No.

And breaking free from their meta, musical lives,

we caught up with the newest East High drama students.

Let's take a look.

If I could describe Julia Lester in three Disney+

characters, it's very easy.

Well, one, Ashlynn, her character on "High

School Musical: The Musical: The Series."

She is to a T like perfectly Ashlynn.

If I were to describe Kate in Three Disney+ characters, first

of all, I love her so much.

She is so talented.

Y'all need to check her out, she's literally amazing.

If I had to describe Mark St. Cyr using three Disney+

characters, I think he would be a little bit of Buzz Lightyear

from "Toy Story"--

Rapunzel from "Tangled" because she's

so fearless and just so iconic.

I feel like Olaf is a good one.

Because she's very goofy, and Olaf is a very goofy,

like lovable, like little fun snowman.

A little bit of Maui from "Moana."

Hannah Montana because her voice is beautiful.

She's like very Mulan-esque.

I guess. Dhe's a very strong, empowered

woman, which is fantastic.

She has a very strong will, and you know, knows what

she wants and goes after it.

Snow White.

I don't know what it is about Kate

that literally just makes me feel

like she's a Disney princess.

And, of course, a little bit of Mr

Mazzara from "High School Musical: The Musical:

The Series."

My Disney+ crush?

Uh--

My Disney+ crush is the one and only Michael

B. Jordan from "Black Panther."

My Disney+ crush has to be Joy from the "Inside Out."

Hannah Montana-- that's, that's, that's a good one.

I've been following Michael B. Jordan for a minute,

and I must say that man is chef's kiss, absolutely

just perfectly made, perfectly.

She is so happy, and I think she'd be a wonderful person

to spend the day with.

I grew up loving "Hannah Montana,"

so I can't pass over Hannah Montana

on the Disney+ crush.

"High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special"

is out tomorrow,

and you can stream Season One of "High

School Musical: The Musical: The Series" now on Disney+.

Wow, you guys, the Disney Investor Day just happened.

And boy, do we have some news for you.

Yes, we do.

An incredible slate of Disney+ original movies and series

were just announced.

Now if you want to see the entire list,

definitely check out Disney on Twitter.

But we have got to go through at least some

of the movies and series that we're excited for.

And there is a lot.

First, I want to start off by talking

about the reimagined classics.

I am so excited about series like "The Mighty Ducks:

Game Changers," "Turner and Hooch," and the long-awaited

sequel, "Hocus Pocus 2."

Yes, "Hocus Pocus" finally getting a sequel to that 1990s

classic.

And we're also going to see the legacy continue

with "The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers,"

even bringing Emilio Estevez back into the fold

alongside Lauren Graham.

And oh my gosh, Andre, "Turner and Hooch"!

Who didn't love that adorable mastiff?

Now alongside Josh Peck, that sounds really cool.

But that's just the beginning, Jenny.

That's just the start.

Now you know I love animation.

And we already hit the Disney+ jackpot

with Disney and Pixar's "Soul"

coming out December 25.

But Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Studios

have made my dreams come true.

I am so excited for these new series:

"Zootopia+" and "Baymax!"--

and then Pixar is bringing back the return

of another wonderful dog, Dug from "Up," in "Dug Days."

So excited.

I absolutely love Dug.

I fell in love with him in Pixar's "Up."

And I was always wondering what his whereabouts were.

And now I will know.

I'll know more about his suburbia adventures

and all the squirrels.

Yeah, that's going to be so great.

And I love "Zootopia" and "Big Hero 6," two of my favorite Disney

movies, and to see them have animated series, the first Walt

Disney Animation Studios original

animated series for Disney+, that's going to be great.

I definitely want to see the world of "Zootopia"

explored even more and, of course, the further adventures

of Baymax.

The news does not stop there.

We are headed back to a galaxy far, far away for some more

Disney+ originals.

And, look, I know we were expecting Star Wars,

but I was not expecting for them to drop

such exciting news on us today.

I am absolutely pumped for "Andor," "Obi-Wan Kenobi,"

and my girl, Ahsoka Tano, getting her own

Disney+ original series.

I have a good feeling about this, all of this.

This is so great.

You know obviously Star Wars fans are very passionate, want

to see some more stories about some

of our favorite characters, and so

being able to have these Disney+ original series to be

able to expand the universe or get more

in deep with some of our favorite characters,

that's going to be great.

And then to see some of the actors returning to these roles

makes it even more authentic and perfect.

And I can't wait for all of them.

You just expressed everything that I wanted--

that I've been feeling when I was watching the news come out.

I'm just like, yes, I get to see more of these characters,

and also that some of it ties in with "The Mandalorian."

So this is just amazing.

The Force is strong with these original series.

And wrapping things up, of course, we gotta

talk about Marvel Studios.

Now if you're excited for series that are coming up

like "WandaVision" and "Falcon and the Winter Soldier,"

then we've got some news for you.

"What If...?" looks to be an incredible animated series,

and, also, we've got series like "Ms. Marvel" and "Hawkeye,"

all headed to Disney+.

Oh my gosh, yes.

And you know, Andre, how long I've

been waiting for "WandaVision," because Scarlet Witch is

one of my favorite superheroes of all time.

And it's almost here.

These are so great.

You won't have to wait long, January 15, and then

"Falcon and the Winter the Soldier,"

which I've been really excited for, March 19.

Just like Star Wars, it's so great

to see the expanded adventures of some

of our favorite characters that we've met,

as well as meet some new characters like, for example,

in "Hawkeye" we're going to get Kate

Bishop played by the amazing Hailee Steinfeld.

So looking forward to all of these Marvel series.

I'm looking forward to all of these things.

We've got to keep going.

Because if we keep talking about this,

it'll be a two-hour episode.

But, everyone, make sure you keep watching

"What's Up, Disney+".

We will be talking about all of these Disney

Investor Day announcements in future episodes.

And also make sure you subscribe so you get all of the new info

and details from us to you.

And now back to the show.

We're kicking things through the uprights of a brand-new

Disney+ original movie.

"Safety" follows Ray McElrathbey, a young man

on a football scholarship at Clemson University.

His persistence helps him triumph through repeated

adversities, including taking full custody and care

of his 11-year-old brother, Fahmarr, while also

focusing on his education.

This film is incredibly inspiring.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up

being up there with some of our favorite sports

classics, like "Remember the Titans" and "Miracle."

It's so true.

You know we see so many athletes go through the trials

and tribulations of playing their game,

but when you also get to learn more

about their personal lives, such as, in this case,

taking care of your family, going through your education,

and also trying to be good at your sport at the same time,

it's a very strong thing to go through.

So, obviously, a very strong person to go through it all.

Absolutely.

And here to coach us through more of the film

is the cast of "Safety."

So I am here with the cast of the Disney+

original movie "Safety."

What's going on, everyone?

- Hey. - Hey.

Hey, Andre.

So glad to have you here.

So we are picking the ultimate Disney+

fantasy football lineup.

And I figured, who better than the cast of "Safety"

to help out with these choices?

So first up, we need the quarterback, the team leader

calling the shots, so Thaddeus, who we picking for quarterback?

I will have to say Captain America.

I mean the leader of the Avengers,

used to calling out different formations in battle.

Oh, Captain America is a great choice.

If he can assemble the Avengers, he

can assemble a football team.

He's good with throwing his shield and throwing his hammer.

So he can throw that ball.

Thaddeus, that is a great choice.
