4. I'm enough of a musical theatre loving elitist to agree with you. Maybe not proud enough to fess up to it, but you weren't either, so we'll call it square? I love Moulin Rouge, and it's a great flick... but it's not a real musical to me unless it's on stage with an original score. (Please note: Mamma Mia - - Also not really a musical, in my book. Or Moving Out. Freaking imitation musical wanna-bes.)

Curious. What do you think of Disney animated musicals, then?

OC here. In their animated form, I would not call them musicals - although they are certainly more so than Moulin Rouge because their scores are original. For me, calling something a musical implies that it is a staged production, that it takes place live. Maybe they would be screen musicals, just like a play becomes a screenplay? Although similar, the two concepts are not quite the same.

In their staged forms (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, etc.), I would class them somewhere similar to Mamma Mia and Moving Out, because they no longer have original scores. They would be stage adaptations of a screen musical, in the same way that you'll occasionally get a movie adaptation of a musical or play.

Does that make sense?
