The MoFo Musicals Countdown - Preliminary Thread

There are an additional eight animated films that I rated a 9/10 that did not make my ballot.

Isn't a little early to submit your ballot? I understand why you would want to get your list ready to submit, but I thought you were participating in the Group Watch thread. You could miss out on a new favorite. Are you giving up on watching musicals already?

OPEN FLOOR.

No, I'm not giving up on watching musicals, but it is unlikely that any other musicals are going to make my ballot. There are 40 musicals that I rated a 9/10 that did not make my ballot, so I figured I might as well submit my ballot now since it is unlikely to change.

There's a Baby Shark movie?! I can barely stand hearing the song. I can't imagine sitting through a whole movie of this.

Yes, Baby Shark's Big Movie (2023). And I did actually watch it. I should probably pretend that I was forced to watch it, but I watched it voluntarily. It was actually pretty good though. It's cute and colourful and the songs were catchy. I rated it a 7/10.

Whatever works for you is okay, and I'm glad that you're still going to be watching musicals, but I'll never understand why people rush to submit their ballot so quickly. It just seems like you're not even leaving open the possibility of finding any new favorite movies.

Allaby's list brings us up to 4.


Keep watching musicals everyone!

I will. I'm watching a musical right now!

I signed up for DisneyPlus.

Anybody got any suggestions for musicals that are available there?

You've probably seen most of the Disney musicals already, but maybe you missed the Winnie the Pooh movies?

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)
Winnie the Pooh (2011)

I haven't seen them in a long time, but I remember them being cute movies.
There are probably more than just these two, but you can start with these and look for more if you like these.

I just sent in my controversial top 25. See you in September!

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Gonna watch some Jacques Demy for this. Maybe we'll get to see The Young Girls of Rochefort in an official list instead of a custom this time, but I'm gonna watch that AFTER Umbrellas.

It's all Disney.

Looks like time is slowly ticking for the deadline

Just about one month left: The deadline for submissions will be Tuesday 17th September.

Still need a musical or two to round out your ballot? Here's one that has funky cool rock type music in it, it's damn funny and very creative and under 1 hour to watch. It's composed of six short stories that are episodic. It's a blast...Give it a try

Here's the first segment under 10 minutes on YouTube and this is the official channel of the film's director Cory McAbee.


If you like what you see give a shout out and I'll PM you the full link.

I second this. Amazing movie and will be really high on my ballot. I would be thrilled if it sneaks onto the countdown.

Don't forget The Brave Little Toaster everyone! America's true hero!

The deadline is 5 weeks today!

Please watch Begin Again everyone!

I don't think anyone has mentioned this movie yet, but it's a fun holiday musical.

Spirited (2022) is a modern satire of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" starring Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell.
