Description:
Experience the wonder of the film the New York Times calls "a clever hybrid of HARRY POTTER and THE INCREDIBLES" as Disney’s SKY HIGH soars on Blu-ray’s high definition disc. The fun and excitement reach new heights in this extraordinary format. The son of legendary crime fighters Commander and Jetstream, Will Stronghold has huge expectations as he enters a high-tech school known for molding the heroes of tomorrow. But with no apparent superpowers of his own, is Will destined to be a mere sidekick? Watch in eye-popping 1080p as Will discovers his true strengths, and experience the awesome power of 5.1 48 kHz, 16-bit uncompressed audio. Heroic adventure truly takes flight with Blu-ray™ High Definition!

Amazon.com:
The idea of a high school for superheroes will appeal to teens and preteens, who struggle powerlessly with petty authoritarians, bullying peers, and their own rampant hormones, and Sky High spotlights young Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano, Lords of Dogtown), the son of top-of-the-heap superheroic couple the Commander (Kurt Russell, Tango & Cash) and Josie Jetstream (Kelly Preston, View from the Top). Unfortunately, though he's about to be dropped into the midst of kids who can stretch, turn to living stone, or shoot fire, Will has yet to develop any powers at all--and may never develop them. His development anxieties (and some entertaining metaphors for high school social hierarchies) contrast with a bubbling plot by an old foe of the Commander's to destroy Sky High and all of superhero-dom. Sky High has a great supporting cast (including Bruce Campbell, Army of Darkness; Dave Foley, NewsRadio; Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman; and Cloris Leachman, Young Frankenstein) and a handful of funny, offhand bits, but the bulk of the movie is bland and obvious. Younger kids may not mind the clumsy action scenes, generic dialogue, and tacky production design, but even comic-book-loving teenagers will label Sky High bargain-basement. --Bret Fetzer



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sky High goes through the roof
This movie is great for the whole family. Its better than Spiderman, Superman, and Batman. Albeit the main characters and super heroes are not as cute as the people that have played the lead in Batman (according to the general public, not me). It has action, comedy, romance, what more can you ask for?



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great time, even for non-family couples!
I am a fan of profound films, you know "meaty" ones, with jarring plots, and humanistic stories. However, I have to say I had a blast watching this, at 32 years old. The PQ was great, and the story was engaging, as it reminded me of all of the challenges of HS. I love Superman and generally enjoy the "superhero" genre. This was a fun spin, with cool characters, and of course, many interlaced Disney messages, and I'd highly recommend this, for a fun night of Blu-ray fun!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good movie for the whole family
very good from start to finish loved everybody in the movie and fire boy was reallly hot



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sky High
This is my 2 1/2 year old boy's favorite movie (and I don't find it really annoying either). It's pretty fun and Disney so there's nothing too scary or adult for him.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Fun for the Whole Family
Sky High is a movie about a high school for teens with super-powers. It has the usual teenage situations going on but with super hero and sidekick powers added. It's a great combination. Sky High is a great film that the whole family can sit down together and watch and everyone will really enjoy. It has good actors, good plot, action and lots of fun.

Our whole family really enjoyed the movie. I recommend watching for a light hearted family night of fun.
