For those who can't make Rydell High or Hogwarts, Sky High will give you the best of both those worlds."Zoom" is a kids' superhero flick based on the novel "Zoom's Academy" written by Jason Lethcoe. That young man was really having some issues in the film. I did like young Steven Strait as the brooding Brando/Dean like teen who is understudying Johnny Storm the Human Torch. Such seasoned players as Lynda Carter as the Principal, Bruce Campbell as the coach, and Cloris Leachman as the school nurse seem to be having a good time with their parts as well as Russell and Preston. Sky High is a typical Disney film with overtones of Grease and Harry Potter combined. Since his powers don't kick in initially, Angaramo is assigned to the sidekicks class, but he actually bonds with them. Angaramo has two girls after him, girl next door Danielle Panabaker and teaching assistant Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Teen age budding superheroes of both sexes have all the normal angst issues the rest of them do. But the kids go through the normal high school experience as filtered through the world of the Magic Kingdom. Superheroes to be go to this school up in the sky which apparently has avoided all radar and satellite detection, but given who goes there and runs it, that's understandable. The powers are there, but they have to be taught their use and that's why Angaramo is ticketed for Sky High. But kids like him if they turn into superheroes aren't just born that way. And Angaramo is just a normal kid apparently, his superpowers just haven't kicked in yet. As it is Russell and Kelly Preston play a pair of superhero parents to Michael Angaramo. Back in the Seventies before we had Cable and Disney channel on same, Kurt Russell would have been the hero of just such a film. Sky High marks the return of Kurt Russell to the Disney Studios after over two decades.
