Located on a small expansion shelf about midway between the Third and Fourth Circles, Musical Hell is presided over by Diva, a minor demon charged with passing judgement on the worst musicals ever committed to film. (She still hasn't figured out if this is their punishment or hers.) Take a seat on the bench and have your earplugs ready, because court is now in session.

New videos posted on the first Monday of the month. Other viewpoints, news, and general ramblings posted when they crop up.

Musical Hell: Mulan II

 Hey everyone, guess who's more or less back on schedule! (For now.) Anyway, at the request of my Patreons I'm diving back into the morass of Disney direct-to-video sequels with Mulan II! CAUTION: Off-model animation ahead. Proceed with caution.

Musical Hell Review: The Country Bears

 Disney keeps us rolling through March, with one of the weirder examples of "Hey, lets take something we own and squeeze more money out of it!" that they've brought forth, The Country Bears! (May contain one or more of the following: disturbing fursuits, gratuitous cameos, Christopher Walken)

Know the Score: Is The Lion King 2 a Good Sequel?

With one Disney live-action remake released last month and another coming next month, it's time to look at the House of Mouse's previous wave of cynical cash-ins and see if there's anything there worth salvaging. Let's take a look at The Lion King 2!




This month's Know the Score comes to you via a Patreon request! Go here to find out how you can support more musical snark and analysis, and suggest reviews of your own!

Musical Hell Review: The Hunchback of Notre Dame II

Hold your nose and close your eyes, because we're diving back into the world of Disney DTV sequels with the one that nobody, absolutely NOBODY, needed or wanted.  Okay, that doesn't narrow it down much, does it?  It's Hunchback of Notre Dame II.  Enjoy!

Musical Hell Review: Beauty and the Beast The Enchanted Christmas

No, for realsies this time.  The wait is finally over--Diva's diving horns-first into Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas!



Special thanks to T and M Comics for their generous Patreon contribution!  And Miriam Gronli for her continued work on my title cards (she was ill and a bit behind, but it'll be up there soon)!

Know the Score: Beauty and the Beast-From Screen to Stage to Screen Again

So, like about a gazillion other people I saw Beauty and the Beast this weekend.  Is it any good and how does it compare to the animated original and the Broadway adaptation?  Your answers below!




And wow, can you believe Musical Hell has been going on for almost five years now?  Insane, right?  Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a little longer for the fifth anniversary show, as I'll be away during my normal posting time.  But Patreon subscribers can look forward to a livestream riff in the upcoming weeks!

Musical Hell Review: Descendants

Happy Labor Day, everybody!  Which means that (at least in the United States) it's back-to-school time, or has been for the past several weeks.  So we're taking a look at Disney's severely irritating contribution to the "teenage children of famous characters" trend, Descendants!

Know the Score: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Musicals 101)

New Know the Score a little early, because I'm about to leave on vacation. (The next Musical Hell review may be late, because I'm about to leave on vacation.)  So here it is, an examination of how Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame went from surprisingly good to even better.
