    Would you not consider something like Frozen or Encanto to be musicals or just stuff that resembles a Broadway play? If the latter, I think the market isn’t huge for these movies so studios don’t want to make them. I can only think of one or two that I actually enjoyed. Most of the time the singing takes me out of the movie completely.

      Actually it’s interesting, because I guess they’re musicals, but they’re not filling them with, like, musical music anymore.

      Instead it’s now just pop songs, you know, standard verse-chorus pattern etc., because then it can get in the charts and make more money that way.

      We probably won’t get anything close to a “Poor unfortunate souls”, “Bear neccessities” or “Be prepared” ever again.
