High School Musical Is Pure Musical Cheese And, Delightfully, Very Much Knows That

It's baffling it's taken me this long to get here but I finally made it to High School Musical!

This CGI animated TV show will start airing regularly on Disney XD shortly after an hour long special debuts on Disney Channel in October. Just before its presentation at Comic-Con this weekend, Disney has debuted an extended trailer you can watch below.
