Something tells me this one is going to be a stinker.

We are using cartoons as examples?
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a legitimate example but it's also an example of a movie that would be greatly improved without the musical numbers.
"We are using cartoons as examples"
cause they are literally musicals??

Oliver! (1968)
shareThere have been many great musicals. If you happen not to like musicals in general, then you likely wouldn't like them. But for those of us who do like them, there are a host to choose from.
Author of the Sodality Universe:
The Road fro Antioch
In the Markets of Tyre
Flight to Lystra
The Theater of Ephesus
The Council on Jerusalem (coming real soon now. In final edits.)
The Shattered World Series begins in 2025.
Yes, South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
shareCabaret?
sharetheres literally no indication its a musical. the way its edited it makes it seem like people are dancing and music is playing, but not that its a musical
shareBecause it's going to be shit. It was suppose to be a streaming movie and Paramount is dumping it in theaters to make a quick buck due to the writers strike
shareI wish they would actually try to understand WHY people hate musicals.
- It's because songs are annoying
- They go on for forever
Just make good hit songs for your musicals and make them short. Not having characters run around for 5 minutes singing annoying boring song with plot not moving.
Nobody hated "Let it go" from Frozen. Because it was good song. So people watched it over and over on Youtube.
Nobody hated music numbers in Encanto. Because songs were awesome and were driving plot.
Nobody hated music numbers in Aladdin. For same reason.
Songs in Grease were good also.
But most of the time they make boring annoying songs and then force people to sit and watch them. So public doesn't trust and don't want to watch them in general.
The Greatest Showman also has some really great songs. :)
shareThere are also those of us out here who love musicals. Perhaps this movie is made for us, and not people who hate musicals?
shareMaybe they hope to get people who don't like musicals to see it.
shareIt's bizarre because I thought Mamma Mia for example took a tonne of money at the box office.
shareFalse advertising - clear and simple.
They rightly assumed that quite a few viewers wouldn't come once they found out it was a musical.
So they removed all traces of music in the trailer.
