Music Monday 28

We've got 11 days until Halloween. So today we're looking at music from musicals that have a more questionable nature. Well, not really questionable, let's just say that they are a bit darker. Darker can be good.

RHPS - Science Fiction Double Feature Show

Into The Woods - Last Midnight

Repo!- 21st Century Cure

LSOH - Feed Me (Git It!)

 

Jekyll & Hyde - Dangerous Game

Slaughter Your World

Wow! I never knew that Looking For Group had any animated shorts, let alone an animated feature! And spoofing Disney songs? Score! Can't argue with the enjoyment this short animation brought me. Richard is an awesome character.

What's on the screen? : Shrek The Musical

Sometimes something sounds so peculiar you can't help but want to see what they did. There's so man movies and books out there that companies try to turn into musicals because of their popularity. Not all of the results are memorable. In fact many of them don't make it past the starting gate. In this case we're looking at one that many would think to be improbable.

This is an AMAZING musical. I wasn't expecting it to turn out the way that it did. And if you don't want a spoiler...well.. don't watch the movie Shrek first. They did an amazing job conveying the most memorable scenes and statements from the animated film into the musical. The costuming and set design is both creative and intriguing without being over the top. And come on, who doesn't like an ogre now and then?

In regards to the video clip; I think that it is the best song in the WHOLE musical. But that's because I like the message that it conveys. So definitely give it a  chance if you get the time. It's a kid friendly musical, even though some of the content is a bit questionable. But if you have seen the cartoon already you should be expecting that. Besides, it's got so many enjoyable layers you won't be able to stop with watching it just once.

Videos Concerning The Wizard of Oz

So today, I wanted to share a few different videos that I've enjoyed lately, now that the new Wizard of Oz movie has been in theaters. One of which is the trailer for the movie. Remember, that this all came from a series of books, which at times are referred to as one of the  greatest American fairy tales. You can read the books at Literature.org if you follow this link. The Wizard Of Oz. Remember that there are multiple books written about Oz, which detail the experiences of various characters and events in oz. You should definitely look into reading them if you've enjoyed any of the movies or musicals, also take a look into the 'Wicked' books, detailing the life of the ~Wicked~ Witch.
