    i rlly want to see it. i want it to be a proper musical but it sounds like it’s not :(

    is it like the Barbie movie where it’s mostly just scenes that put more importance on the music and only one proper musical scene with singing and choreography?

      I’d say there are maybe 8 to 10 musical numbers. They are all very short though and they are often interrupted. The movie is not a musical and anyone who says it is has clearly never seen a musical. About half of the numbers take place in some sort of liminal musical reality whilst the others take place directly where the characters are in the moment. I think they work very well which is why I wanted to see more of them. Sometimes it felt like they were scared to commit.

      The rest of the film was good I thought, and I was never bored. I just wish they’d got the most out of the concept. It’s sad that this will probably be the end of this continuity as I think it could have continued (albeit in a different direction).
