You dumdums haven't polled the delight cast recording of Hamilton yet; let me help

The opening song was really busy, and I wasn't sure I'd like the movie, but "Surface Pressure" and Isabella's song were better, and I got more into it. I really liked that the story and the conflict were almost entirely within the house, within the family. But it's still a lower tier Disney movie - Frozen 2 is the only recent one I recall liking less

So, "Bruno" is the first Disney song to hit number one in 30 years, and the first number one song in four years with only one songwriter. And, needless to day, Lin-Manuel's first number one. Also apparently a record for most number of credited performers on a number one, too (6). Add it to the list.

It always makes me think of the "Tiny Toons Adventures" theme! (rapidly listing off the characters and their attributes, etc.)

otm, a lot of cartoon theme songs did that. I think I was probably overwhelmed by those songs the first time I heard them too - probably more fun the second and third time you watch it

I was just talking in the music theory thread about how Waiting on a Miracle represents everything a lot of things I hate about modern broadway composition, the melody sounds so noodly and random. We Don't Talk About Bruno is certainly catchy but I can't really say it's *good*, same with the Family Madrigal song. Overall agree that the movie was kind of a mess but the kids loved it. Definitely underwhelming. A lot of the family seemed like assholes tbh.

I guess in that sense it was a realistic portrayal of a family, except then it set itself up for the impossible resolution that everyone in the messed up family just learns to stop being messed up.

Ooof, 72k in sales is all it takes ...

it says 11k in the bit you quoted!

Yeah that bothered me a bit. I mean it's a kid's movie whatchagonnado but I couldn't believe in particular that the grandma would do such a 180

xpost I think it said "had the equivalent of 72,000 sales," whatever that means.

150 streams is the equivalent of one song sale. So like 10.8 million streams.

Wtf
