What we realized is when you watch this movie as a child, you're in it for the goofy laughs (pun absolutely intended) and awesome music; however, now that we are mature adults, we see this classic Disney movie for what it really is: a Broadway gold mine.
If you have never seen this movie, find it and watch it immediately. If you are unsuccessful in your quest to find this treasure, contact us and we will cautiously lend it to you. Actually, you know, it's pretty important to us so you can just watch it at our house. And we'll be watching you. If you have no clue what we're talking about, here's the opening musical number on Youtube. In it, Max, the juvenile, is on his way to his last day of school before the summer. Note all the different characters. And amazing melody. Broadway potential, hello?
We have already learned the original cartoon choreography, and have made a primitive cast list. More on that to come later, but for now, make sure you have watched this gem. And if you think there is any hint of sarcasm in our writing, you are so wrong. Just ask our iTunes play count.

I'm coming over. I'm not eating white four these days, so can you make the pizza whole wheat?
(I'm enjoying your blog. I haven't heard "In the Heights" yet though, so I'm skipping that one for now.)
You guys are goofy! (Pun intended!) I look forward to your blogging - can't wait for the next installment. Maybe you guys will even talk about community theatre!
Keep up the good work!
Any chance Lisa Landry will get a spot in the "Goofy Musical"? P.S. - I'm loving your blog!
