Classic Musical Month 2 – Singin’ in the Rain
The Wizard of Oz, which I reviewed 5 days ago, is the only movie I’ll be looking at this month that I’ve seen in full before. I’ve seen parts of next week’s The Sound of Music, but never the whole … Continue reading
Classic Musical Month 1 – The Wizard of Oz

Christmas Classics 3: White Christmas
My dad usually isn’t a fan of musicals. In fact, he rarely listens to music at all. Yet every year, he watches this 1954 Christmas musical to get in the mood for the holidays. That alone has made me curious … Continue reading
Disney Associated Movies 12 – Enchanted
Enchanted is somehow both a unique film in the Disney cannon, and not unique at the same time. It’s a mostly live-action musical comedy romance, mixed with traditional animation. It also happens to be the very first movie distributed by … Continue reading
