The actor (plays Bucky) that did the flips in the Fired Up song is a really good dancer and even was apart of a Disney show that was all about a dance studio and dance competitions which hosted no stunt doubles and purely just the actors amazing dancer skills. They even had dancers of different genres just dancing together.

more than actors with amazing dancer skills they were just dancers that had some little knowledge about acting, the show just tried to bring real dancers without caring if they have acted ever before, that's why the acting wasn't that good in that show but the dance was amazing

I believe the point of Zombies was about racism and segregation. For example the zombies being hated by humans and the two groups not being allowed to be together. And the werewolves would be the first people on the land and they were colonized. The aliens idk but you have to watch commentary on the Zombies movie to know what I'm talking about.

I am pretty sure the guy who plays Bucky did all of his stunts. He was a dancer, and could do all of the tricks.

The werewolves owned my heart the moment they were introduced, they are so cool and I loved the songs! Bucky somehow also became one of my favorite characters as well!

Please do more of these types of videos, I love them so much!

It's okay Mat, I've only seen the first Zombies movie, so I'm kinda of confused too. And yes, I thought they were vampires too.

PLEASE listen to more of the werewolf songs! Call of the Wild, We Own The Night, and Come On Out are my favorites in the series. Other great songs are BAMM, I'm Finally Me, and Alien Invasion.

The light at 18:35 is called a Ghost Light! They are used in theaters after all the other lights are out / overnight (for safety, so people don't fall off the stage and/or into the orchestra pit). They also keep the ghosts happy, as most theaters are believed to be haunted in some way.

The reasons I prefer Z-O-M-B-I-E-S: 1) It doesn't mess with a pre-existing canon. As a HUGE Disney fan, Descendants is kind of a weird thing to watch (kind of like Once Upon a Time)... like, it's a really interesting take, but part of my brain always keeps yelling "But that didn't happen!" 2) It just fully embraces the campiness. Descendants sometimes feels like it takes itself a little too seriously (IMO), while Z-O-M-B-I-E-S knows exactly how ridiculous it is and just leans into that hard; which also, interestingly, makes the truly meaningful moments stand out more. By highlighting its own silliness, it comes across as somehow more genuine, and I absolutely LOVE stuff like that (Legally Blonde the Musical is another great example).

@Dino-lv8eo

11 ай бұрын

I feel where Descendants benefits is that it had fewer songs per movie, so it gave the plot more time to breathe, and the movies are also half an hour longer. Doesn't mean ZOMBIES isn't good, just that in my opinion Descendants is better overall.

Zombies songs literally completed me

I clicked As soon as I got the Notification Yesss My Favorite Movie Ever Thank you Sooo much Matthew ❤

Also, I really like the movies for the symbolism you can put on the different types of monsters. You mentionned segregation and it's definitely a very strong theme in the first movie, although the zombies can be a metaphore for a number of minorities. I would argue zombies would be a closer metaphore to people with HIV: people are scared because they used to be "dangerous" through absolutely no fault of their own when nobody knew how to deal with it, which led to abandonment and violence and death, and now they have medical devices that allows them to live better lives but there is still a stigma on them. Obviously it's not a perfect metaphore at all but you get the idea. The parallels with racism are also very clear and strong. It's really a big mix of it all. In the second and third movies, the parallels are even clearer : the werewolves are very clearly meant to represent native americans, and the aliens are the definition of refugees. I won't go into too much detail to avoid spoiling too much, but I think those themes are super interesting.

Glad someone else sees the connection to HIV/AIDS as well. No one mentions it, but I also think it has similarities to Jews during the Holocaust. When it was mentioned the zombies have to wear certain clothing and the Z-bands, I immediately thought of the Star of David and the tattoos some were forced to get. The school desegregation is obvious, but I like the nods these movies have to the discrimination that many different groups have faced. Edit: Can't believe I forgot to mention this point, but Zombietown has a slight American and European internment/concentration camp of WW2 aspect, too.

I recommended this a week or so ago so happy hes doing it!

OMG I'm SO happy you reacted to these and I really hope you react to more! Maybe even the whole movies? If not, it's okay.

Best song of all the movies, hands down

I recommend all of the songs from Julie and Phantoms. Its a show so there are plenty to choose from. The songs I recommend to start out are Perfect Harmony, Edge of Great, Other Side of Hollywood and Now or Never. The actor who plays Hades in Descendants is in this show too.

i love exceptional zed and its reprise! essentially zed was a very important force against zombie prejudice in this world and he's trying to get into college lol (the first zombie to do so). i love the reprise lyrics: "I know that I may be different Who that's exceptional isn't We have a spark that can change things It's not a curse, it's amazing I'm Exceptional Zed And so are my family and friends We're artists, athletes and activists Who always give it our best We don't need to pretend 'Cause we won't ever fit in And we're not just awesome in spite of that We take pride in that instead We're all exceptional" i think it's incredibly cheesy but fits these movies so much. also zombies 3 came out right as i was graduating high school so it felt like the end of my childhood if that makes sense. it isn't a very good movie but i love it nonetheless

Omg i used to absolutely LOVE flesh and bone!! Like it was my favorite song ever! Also please do more of this and Descendants!!!

Zombies 2 is the best imo I loved it and "Flesh and Bone" and "Call to the Wild" are my fav songs ever from the franchise

Definitely listen to BAM (first movie) and We Own the Night (second movie). The two best Z.O.M.B.I.E.S. songs imo

Me waiting til he reacts to mamma mia and mamma mia here we go agian there are so many good ones in there

Some of my personal favorites are call to the wild, I'm winning, Bamm (first one), do it like the zombies do, and one for all. Honestly all of them are great

23:36 the zombies are more like mutants than literally undead

him being so confused in Exceptional Zed is like the best part. but context wise, Exceptional Zed is about Zed (the main zombie character for the movies) being really nervous about an interview for college cause he’d be the first zombie to go the college. its the main conflict for him in the third movie as for the zombie part of ZOMBIES, zombies are technically a ‘race’ for the story. they were originally normal zombies but then people made ‘Z-bands’ which make them like normal people (but its stated they still need to mainly eat brains?) with more things. its really weird. As for the werewolves, theyre a native tribe. thats it. well, its more but theyre an allegory for natives. and the second movies plotline is literally the werewolves trying to get their sacred artifact back that they legit need to survive. edit: ik its just the first video but We own the night not being in here throws me off so hard for nothing. also like, matt’s gonna go through it given if he reacts to more cause the only song from the third movie was Exceptional Zed.

I love how he's trying to understand the movie without having watched the movie and basing himself only by the songs that aren't even in chronological order

You should definitely listen to "we own the night " (I think) it's got the first chick from the last song and she get more time than in "Flesh and bone "

Personally, I recommend "Come on Out", "We own the Night", "Alien Invasion", and "One for All".

I mean in the first song Exceptional Zed he was applying to be the first monster/Zombie in College and he had lots of pressure on him

I'm dying at him not knowing the plot! I think “My Year” would of given the most 🤣

It feels like all three movies are about Addison belonging in whatever the new thing is

Fun fact the actor who plays Bucky could do that bc he is a really good dancer and was on a tv show a few years ago about danceera and other stuff

14:35 if you think it's funny that their mascot is a Shrimp, you should know that their big school dance is called Prawn instead of prom.

Matt definitely needs to hear bonzo hit his high note during the class room especially cause he like bonzo😭 BC THAT WAS MY FAVORITE

Hope there’s more Zombie reactions! Kenny Ortega’s Julie and the Phantoms (Netflix) and StarKid (KZreadrs) songs would be awesome. Would be interesting to see what he thinks!

I've only ever watched like half of the first Zombies movie but I thought it was really cool! So it's pretty cool this came out right as I woke up :D

I LOVE zombies and cant wait for you to do more.

Also yes the guy that did the flips, his actors name is Trevor Tordjman. He is an actor, singer and a VERY skilled dancer! He was a main character in “the next step” for many seasons ❤

I originally knew the character Bucky as James from The Next Step so him doing awesome flips and tricks never really surprised me 😂

The actor that did the amazing flip during fired up is a proffesional dancer

Please do more zombies songs!!!! "I'm winning" is a great Zed song and all of the werewolf songs are good tbh
