When I was younger, my family used to watch old Disney Sing-along-song VHS tapes. You know, the ones where they'd show clips from Disney shows/movies and you could "follow the bouncing ball" while singing. Sort of like Disney Karaoke. Nobody in my house sang to the tapes, but we liked watching them anyway.
Well, I was shopping for videogames yesterday, and it turns out that Disney has TWO sing-along videogames. One has all the High School Musical songs, and another has sixteen Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers/Camp Rock songs. The idea is just like the old sing-along-song tapes: they show footage of the movie with the song lyrics as subtitles, and you can sing along in the microphone.
I was sorely tempted to buy the High School Musical game, just so I could force Marianne to play and get some hilarious video footage.
So here's my demand: The sing-along videogame is a good idea, but stopping at sixteen songs is bad. Only using songs made in this century is bad, too. I want to see a massive Disney sing-along game with pretty much all the Disney songs ever. It would be an awesome family game, and best of all, it wouldn't be hard for Disney Interactive to make.
I am sorry to say it, but there is a factual error in this month's Ten Reasons. High School Musical 3 does NOT come out on October 11th. It comes out closer to the end of the month.
How do I know this? Well, besides from the 50 million commercials about it, I just got an angry letter from Zac Efron:
Dear Michael Gray,
How DARE you put down the wrong date for the opening of High School Musical Three? That movie is going to be the greatest movie ever and everyone's going to love me for it!!! Like, seriously!!!! You messing up the opening date is SO BAD. I mean, it's SO HORRIBLE that it's...it's...it's like even worse than my acting!
Zac...Efron, Not Rich
Sorry about that, Zac ol' pal! Everyone, make sure to change your calendars for the correct opening date, so you can watch the movie yourself and hear computer-generated voices the real actors sing like there's no tomorrow.
