Located on a small expansion shelf somewhere between the Third and Fourth Circles, Musical Hell is presided over by Diva, a minor demon charged with judging and punishing the worst musicals ever captured on film. She still hasn't figured out if this is her punishment or theirs.
There was a guy in my Performing Arts A-Level class who has Miriam Margolyes as a family friend, and I asked him if he'd seen this movie to which he replied 'No', but at the point where I'd asked the question, I had a bit of a backfire, considering if he looks this movie up and realises it's one of the worst of all time
Sin #9: WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ROCK MUSIC IN THIS MOVIE. I mean, you’d expect a camp titled “Camp Rock” to at least have SOME Rock Music within it instead of the teannie-bopper crap from Disney Channel.
Lol. Her belting it out in front of the whole class after the false start reminded me of those Shirley Temple movies where all of a sudden she becomes an expert tap dancer after some simple directions. "Why, you just got to move your feet like _this!_ "
The fact that Guillermo del Toro produced this film was a genius move considering his love for animation as an artform, especially with his Oscar winning adaptation of Pinocchio.
This musical is like if you took Next to normal, made Henry the main focus, made him an asshole, and replaced Kitt & Yorkey with a Christian rock artist.
Also the over abundincrs of songs is intentional the thinking was taht the kids have shorter ation spances (make of that condomation what you will) so they msde a bunch of short songs rather then a few long songs
4:25 ok in Andy's defense i think he expans the defation of masculinity in a strange way. You can be a tough guy and were cuties pants up to your nips have a petter pan collor with a lazy littel tie and to top it all off a charming little sailors cap. I don't know i just think he's neat
I noticed that every adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", while still being about a morality test, tries to be about different themes and teach one specific lesson: The original Gene Wilder film (and its stage adaptation "Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr.") is about honesty. The Tim Burton film is about family and forgivance. This musical is about pure imagination and leaving the way to something new. It's very interesting.
Personally, I think "Coming" is more unintentionally funny, mainly just due to whatever the crap those backup dancers were doing with the arm flailing.
I always comeback to this video just for the line “This Maleficent has so little chill she can be used as evidence for global warming” That line is just so funny to me
The thing I don’t like about this version, and Disney’s version is they actually are seeing some thing that actually turns out to be a racial slur towards Romani people I got into more research and figured out exactly why it became a slur and they were the worst reasons in in Disney’s film. I was really triggered and did not like the fact that they called constantly Esmeralda that slur.
I've heard the ending song, "Together," lots of times at work, merely tolerating it at best, but I've developed a newfound detestation now that I know its origin. Poor show, Sia. Poor show.
I didn't like they messed up Phoebus and Esmeralda in the sequel. There is no continuity with their personality in the first movie. Phoebus didn't prejudice ppl, Esmeralda was streetsmart and wasn't naive (only idealist). Only thing I like on them is that they are showed as a happy family together, and Esmeralda is still beautiful.
That opening bit of animation where we're given backstory through images swirling in the pot of ink is absolutely beautiful. I really, really wish it were in a better movie.
Sometimes I wonder if the late Jonathan Winters was ever really aware that he was playing a mute thief or if he had no goddamn clue that the mute thief had no such need to have a sexual identity since Richard Williams had no intentional interest to give the thief a relevant sexual identity to begin with anyway. Plus it was questionably strange when Jonathan Winters was being a clueless idiot for having his poor and questionably incompetent interpretation of the Thief go from Asexually Ennui-Thief: Oh… a naked lady🛀😑 (Ennui means boredom, its the name of the Indigo Russian accented emotion from Inside Out 2 of course), to a Heterosexually Horny Thief: OOO Naughty🌹 3:54. And you what I just started wondering nowadays as a fellow longtime TT&TC Fan? Like how is that Vincent Price as Richard Williams’ main intended voice for Zigzag is the only Deceased Comedian whose style of comedy, wit, and charming role as the villainously wicked Zigzag has aged beautifully with a perfectly graceful and confident style of villain comedy🤣😍💛👍🦢🤡, while Jonathan Winters’ questionable role as the Thief’s Monologue and style of commentary comedy has aged extremely poorly with such asinine annoyance and incompetence🤡🤬🦨🗑️👎💔 after 30+ years (as of 7-14-2024 of writing this comment) I wonder what?
18:37: Remember when _Overwatch_ was culturally relevant enough that you could put some dude hissing at people to die and expect people to get the reference?
I feel like Elfabas voice is too deep, it takes away from the youthful character she is supposed to be. Though I didn’t hear much I just feel from what I heard it’s just out of place especially giving previous castings. Again though I have not seen it yet but I will watch it with high expectations.
You have truly done the (dark) Lord's work with this channel. I will miss Musical Hell but it's been an amazing ride. Thanks for all the laughs and analysis.
Out of curiosity, I would like to see your thoughts the epic musical. It’s a new musical that is only online and has to do with Odysseus and his journey in the odyssey. Just wanted to know your thoughts. And I love this video. I haven’t listened to this musical, so I’ll look out for it. Thank you so much diva.
I'm really not sure why you keep comparing various scenes to scenes from other movies which hadn't been made at the time of Camelot, songs which hadn't been written at the time of Camelot or other performers who weren't even known at this time. Hmmmm.
Hey Diva (i hope i spelled your ne right) i liked this video, but it was distracting to me to hear you speaking over yourself. I know this is coming 10 years after you posted,
