First full length movie available in iTunes
It is a made for TV movie (the Disney Channel specifically) but it is still a movie, darn it. And a musical at
that!High School Musical is now available for download from the iTunes Music Store. Clocking in at one hour and forty minutes, this rates as a movie to me, though I am not sure I actually want to see it. For only $1.99 you can watch as two kids from opposite ends of the spectrum forge a friendship in song, and really can you put a price on that (other than the two dollar price that has already been assigned to it)?
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
Update: It looks like Apple took High School Musical down for awhile, but as of 9:17PM EST it in availble via the link in this post for a new price of $9.99. What's up with that?

Oh man, i would have gifted it to my girls at $1.99 - they seem to really like it - but now it's $9.99 - no way i'm payin that much man!
My father used to say "He who hesitates is lost" - i guess that is me :)
Wake me up when they get to REAL movie musicals (Oklahoma, The Music Man, West Side Story...)
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
now appearing in the iTMS tv show mainpage: High School Musical Full Length Musical and Music Videos. too bad the link from that picture has no full length movie in sight
btw when i saw this news this morning i went ahead and bought it for .... $1.99
hehe to all the snickering people that have to now purchase it for $9.99 which is way to much for it...
That's cute. This movie was just on Family channel as a karaoke sing along this weekend.
It's pure cheese, and nothing how I remember high school, but when you're deathly hungover, it's actually kinda fun to watch.
Aside from that, $1.99 per scene of a movie is actually a pretty cool idea! I'd pay $1.99 for the car chase scene from The French Connection. (Really, who doesn't love a good "real" car chase? None of this "Fast and the Furious" CGI junk!)
Ditto! I had heard about "High School Musical" and would download the movie, being a fan of "Fame." But, it isn't on iTMS presently.

very very curious...
Wait, I thought you couldn't download it in full on iTunes. I just checked and they only have a few of the musical numbers at $1.99 each. Where can I download the full movie?
