Top Ten Musical Movies of All Time For Princesses

This will be my last post on movie reviews but I have had so much fun finding this information out from my kids. I have been honestly surprised by their answers and what shows have ended up on top. So, for our last post on top tens, we will be doing musicals. This can be actual Musicals filmed, Movies, Disney animated etc. There used to be so many musicals but now it isn't as common unless it is a Disney movie.


I am guessing that High School Musical will be on all five girls lists when I get them back but they have surprised me before.....When the results were in, I was surprised. Just one list.

I had a funny reply as many of the kids said they "reserve the right to change their list at any point." I loved that. They aren't "stuck" in any position.

Eight of the cross overs have three or more people. It shows that everyone has a few of the same favorites and then the list has 9 that crosses with two people so there are some standard loved movies and then

Grease didn't make the top ten as I HATE the storyline but LOVE the music. 
Interesting that Dick Van Dyke is in three of my top ten. Very Talented Man!

I have to add that I am looking forward to the "Into the Woods" movie as we were in that musical a few years ago and enjoyed it. I am also looking forward hoping they make a "Wicked" movie. Both would be great. 

Worst all time Musical in my book is Carousel. Who wants to watch a woman marry and chase an abusive man?
