Fads and trends have come and gone, but there were certain things from our childhood that we just can't let go of. Disney Channel has produced a lot of movies, but none of them have hit the masses like "High School Musical" did in 2006.

Attempts at such greatness like "Camp Rock" and "Teen Beach Movie" were good, I admit (as an 18-year-old), but I watched them once and I have no interest in watching them ever again. "High School Musical" was different; the producers were able to create 3 films (although nothing was as good as the original) that us 90's kids could watch over and over again. Here's why:

1. The music.

"High School Musical" has the ultimate jam-out songs. We know all the lyrics down to the last beat.

2. The dancing.

Only in these movies was it completely normal for the entire student body to burst into song and dance with epic choreography...that we all mastered.

3. It was so good that they had sing-a-longs and dance-a-longs that we all watched.

4. Your closet won't let you forget.

The shirt, the sweatpants, the pajamas, the backpack, the dolls, the video game, the DVDs...do I even need to go on? You had it all, and you probably still do, buried in the inner depths of your house.

5. Zac Efron

Sure, Zac Efron has appeared in a myriad of movies since his big debut in "High School Musical." And I have to admit, he's done a great job breaking free from his Troy Bolton character (no pun intended). Zac Efron is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood; sometimes I'll just watch the "High School Musical" films to watch him dance and sing and get all emotional because he's so freakin' attractive.

6. It made us all fantasize singing on the tables in a high school cafeteria.

Probably one of the most famous songs from the movie is "Stick To The Status Quo." Not really because of its empowering lyrics, but mainly the incredible dance number that made us all want to be a part of it. East High IS #highschoolgoals.

7. Sharpay Evans is a character you can't forget.

She's probably the reason girls who watched the movie thought it was okay to be such a diva (myself included).

8. Troy and Gabriella showed us relationship goals.

They've convinced us all that it's possible to find true love at a resort singing karaoke. I can't think of another movie that stole our hearts TWO MINUTES IN!

9. That dance moves in "What I've Been Looking For" are in our brains forever.

10. It inspired us to follow our dreams despite the "status quo" or even what our parents think of them.

Ten years have now gone by since the original premiere of the movie that changed our lives. "High School Musical" is something that will most certainly live on as I think all of us have it on top of our lists of things we have to show our children. The lessons about friendship, family, and love are never going out of style.
