Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Gently positive messages about sticking up for yourself and your friends, taking responsibility, and stepping up when problems need to be solved.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    "Fabulous" mentions expensive brand-name clothing; CD package is filled with ads for half a dozen other Disney CDs. Still, there's less advertising per page-space than usual on a Disney product.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About High School Musical 2 Soundtrack

Parents need to know that this CD is the one your kids have been waiting for. And it's good to know that Disney's soundtrack sequel delivers more of the same stuff that was found on the first one: family-friendly, danceable music, and gently positive anthems about friendship and self-esteem. Clothing brand names are mentioned in one song ("Fabulous") and the CD package is filled with ads for other CDs and products, but the overall message is upbeat, encouraging, and harmless.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about all the hype that preceded the release of this CD. Did the "teaser" single make you want this one more, or did it feel like the record company just wanted to sell you the same product more than once? Now that you've heard the whole album, do you think it was worth the wait? Also, the song "Fabulous" celebrates buying expensive clothes. Do you think it's meant to be serious or tongue-in-cheek?

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 3.0

    Yeah... but....

    Sure, the music is fun... Most movie and soundtrack centers a romance and a romance such as this may be iffy for some parents for their children to listen to. So if you're a parent of a younger child, you might want to listen to the soundtrack before letting your child listen to it.
