High School Musical 2: Designer Still In Grade School


Either there's a lot more impaling going on in this movie than I had previously understood, or someone, possibly someone with a hat, has been comped into this scene at the last minute.

Thanks to Ian Clarke!

What about Ashley tisdals left hand?
(her right) looks kind of odd...

Anonymous said...

ashley`s body is pretty strange

iain said...

And what about the perspective? The splash of the guy on the left would imply that his legs are in the water, but no-one elses are even though they're clearly lower than him, and argh its just fucked up...

Stacia said...

I think the hand with the green bracelet is supposed to be the girl on the far right, whose arm disappears behind the guy next to her. It's probably supposed to be the remainder of her arm behind him. Too bad they shmutzed it up.

The forearm of the kid in the yellow shirt isn't quite right, either. Wow, this is a mess.

Dazegoonboy said...

There's an arm coming out of the blonde girl's ass...

LionD'Art said...

Well.. The content of that CD is crap anyway. :-P

Anonymous said...

it's painfully obvious this is either a fake or a rough comp as you can google this product and see that the image was cleaned up

Rhody said...

The only picture of it I can find is on Amazon and it has the mutant artwork. If there's a cleaned up version out there, post it, because otherwise I'm going to have to call BS.

how long is Ashley's ass supposed to be?

Anonymous said...

damn, i feel as crappy as when i'm rick roll'd. i saw that same uk pic and didn't notice that the girl still had the bracelet coming out of her butt.

baby jesus! that's some bad photochop.

Betty said...

The cleaned up version of this image is on a lot of promotional materials: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61lkJKuh4%2BL._SS500_.jpg and http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61aP%2BamrnOL._SS500_.jpg for example.

My guess is that the artist had multiple versions of this pictures saved in various stages of being photoshopped, and he/she sent out the wrong one for the Disney Sing-A-Long cover.

Isn't the blond girl knee a clone of the hispanic girl knee?

Derek C. F. Pegritz said...

OK, this is the first "Photpshop Disaster" that:

A) truly is disastrous; and

B) made me laugh like an idiot.

That "possibly someone with a hat" line freakin' made the whole entry!

lorrwill said...

Geez Louise! What a mess.

Tom Dougherty said...

Jesus. You'd think Disney would give a shit or two about their most lucrative cash cow, but, no, guess not.

Anonymous said...

Wow. You have got to be kidding! This is just awful! DId someone at Disney hire an intern, show them a 3-minute Photoshop tutorial, spray pepper spray in their eyes, duct tape their fingers together, then ask them to complete this job within 10 minutes? Because that's what it looks like happened here. So bad!

Anonymous said...

I'm betting it was something like this:

Artist: OK, I'll need at least another day. I've to get the gal on the right moved to her own layer and erased from the main layer (and clean that up). Then I've got to add hat-guy to the main layer and bring the other gal back in.

Disney: Just make the f*cking picture, ah-tist, you've got one hour.

Artist: Sigh.

Anche il braccio della bionda per essere disteso è troppo corto!

Other versions of this image do appear to have been completed:

I reckon each person was shot individually and they were all comped together (it's much easier to do it this way, especially with stars whose legs you can't afford to break when they all trip over each other).

As stated above this image represents an intermediate step before all the necessary parts of the girl on the right had been removed...

What about the green girl's incredibly long fingers? They are almost half as long as her arm!

Ben said...

The blondey on the left has hands like ET!

Commodity said...

Wow! That was the first thing I saw, actually! Freddy Krueger!

Anonymous said...

This is not photoshopped! I know people who can do that with their arm. Not 'shopped, just an unfortunate photograph to use.

Justin said...

Wow. That is simply unforgivable

Didn't anyone look at a proof or anything? How the hell did that thing get approved?

keith said...

I knew the previous soccer post wasn't a disaster! Here we have another kid here with a hand-coming-outta-right-shoulder deformity (brown haired kid in the middle) not a disaster, just a regular rambunctious kid.

This site used to be great, now it's just picking on the hand dis/advantaged (hand-icapped? handicomped? sorry.)

By the way, the extra hand/fingers appears in the "clean" versions listed in previous comments.

This is just bad all around, but everybody knows teens don't care what's on the cover --- or what's in the lyrics of the songs --- or that all these kids will be doing porn in 10 years anyway.

This is the real artwork (UK) and was supplied to me by the company.

Melanie Rimmer said...

I love this blog, but I think the comments are rapidly overtaking the pictures as the funniest thing about it.

Is there any photoshop disaster so utterly lame, so totally grievous, that no-one will comment saying "Actually, that's perfectly justifiable. It's just a stray layer. And anyway, I know someone who does actually have three arms."

Keep the dumbass comments coming. They're my favourite.

Orangetiki said...

Looks like someone got promoted from ride attendant. which is actually how their internship works. You have to work the rides and amusement park for a few months before you can transfer. Prof forgot everything they learned from college

PJ said...

Why do people even try with those trolls... And also, yes, those knees are clones.

Rhody said...

@ Melanie Rimmer:

The "OMG I have four arms leave me alone!" comments in this entry are jokes. I think. :P But yeah, there's definitely a lot of desperate people trying to justify bad photoshop in pretty much every other entry.

How stupid. Maybe the designer is not in grade school. he didnt even get on it

penis hand LOL

Mr. Tent Trash said...

this is pretty bad work.... amazing... are we outsourcing the design to Kindergarten?

PinkPanthress said...

It is one of those pieces where you should rather count the non-disasters instead.
Also I would hide this from a Child, it might get scared after seeing all the 'doubled' monster limbs. XD

Anonymous said...

I would totally show this to a kid. It's good that they understand how manipulated promotional images are.

Lofwyr said...

That "white thing" between the pink dressed girl's hair and the hat wearing guy is a bad cut-out or what?

steph said...

The lelft leg of the blond girl (Ashley Tisdale) looks kind of creepy! Does she have two knees on one leg? Does her leg has a second skin?

GAPS said...

After seeing this "in progress" shot (I'd love to hear how the hell it ended up on a finished package), the "cleaned up" versions just weird me out.

I mean, if he had that girl on the right's right wrist in place, just on the wrong layer, why remove it entirely? So now she is missing an arm?
And don't give me any of that "she's just mirroring the blonde girl's pose" shit, since a glance at her shoulder implies full extension.

Simon said...

did they send the wrong file to the printer? because there is no other justification for this...

Fraentic said...

Look at the size of the blond girl's right hand. So big, don't?

Anonymous said...

Those clone knees are the best part. Jesus...

This is just bad all around, but everybody knows teens don't care what's on the cover --- or what's in the lyrics of the songs --- or that all these kids will be doing porn in 10 years anyway.

Reply: Porn and reality TV.

"There's an arm coming out of the blonde girl's ass..."

NO, no, that's her foot. (Fortunately...)

Sheesh. The who ever photoshopped this is just... Ugh. O_o

That's a lot better. But the boy on the far left splashing into the water and the girl beside him not is still wack. That's a little more subtle than the six fingered girl and her right arm that wormed-holed through the boy with the hat.

Holy shit!
7 fingers?!?!?!?!

caramelscorpion said...

So... What's going to happen when they land, anyway? I think that's a pool under them, and I'm pretty sure that wardrobe isn't going to appreciate it.

Arachnodactyly? Although Sherlock Holmes would just have put her down as a pianist / secretary.

It's also something very wrong with the blonde's knee...

Don't be so hard on Disney, you know, it's not like "High School Musical" made enough money for them to hire a good retoucher!

My friend who works for the Mouse House said they are cheap as fuck, and this proves it.

Ashley's left knee is double!!
