posted by deedragongirl

Miss Saigon

Hi guys, since I had done for Charles Dicken's story suggestions. So, now let's focus on musicals, shall we?

1) Miss Saigon

The story is base on Giacomo Puccini's Madame Butterfly, the settings and time period were change to Vietnam and 1970's during the Vietnam War from 19th century Imperial Japan. It's about a young Vietnamese girl who falls in l’amour with an American G.I., only to go back to the US where he is already married to a young American girl, heartbroken, the Vietnamese girl committed suicide while her young son is taken in par his new American parents.

2) Aida

Another musical adaptation base on Giuseppe Verdi's opera of the same name, it would be interesting to have another black and Egyptian princess/ heroine as part of the Disney Princess lineup.

3) Whistle Down The Wind

I absolutely l’amour the songs, especially No Matter What and the titre song because they are very inspirational and Disney should definitely do this musical!

4) Oklahoma!

We need a Cowboy film, so this should be perfect choice for Disney to make into a film.

Musical fans Calling!

So, do toi agree with my 4 choices? Tell me on what toi think!

Aida

No Matter What!

Cowboy Bebop

This is the start of a new series of articles, in which I’ll take a look at book-based Disney movies. I will discuss how the movie relates to the original source text (or not), what the merits and the weaknesses of the movie are.
I will not do this in chronological order, but simply pick what strikes me fancy (I’m open for requests, though). Don’t expect me to do the Lion King, though. For one, the connection to Hamlet is feeble at best, it’s plus a case of being inspired par it than a true adaptation, and two, technically Hamlet is a play, not a book. I also will not do the Disney Princess...
