C’mon folks, no love for Bob Fosse in #1?

And you had to know that Anna and the King of Siam was a non-musical move starring Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison!! for #10 that is.

And really, Snow White was the first and greatest for #8!

Fantasia was a cartoon with a backdrop of classical music. Disney decided to make kids listen to the classics. Music is what it was about. Therefore you should all go change # 8 now.

I’ll wait.

Misread the first question, so my first answer is wrong, but I’ll let it stand to be fair.

Hmmm… Aren’t all the responses supposed to be _ **movie** _ musicals? It’s not spelled out clearly in the OP, but the thread title says Movie Musicals. I think some people are listing stage musicals for some categories like putting The Lion King for “Disney live-action musical.”

Just sayin’ 🆒

By the way, those of you who never venture into Cafe Society (are there such folks?) may not be aware that there’s a [musicals-lovers group](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=482708) happening now. Discussion of _Moulin Rouge!_ will commence sometime in the next day or so.

Yeah - I flubbed that. Since, if I’d had to choose a Disney live-action musical I’d have gone with the first one that came to mind: _Bedknobs and Broomsticks_, I’m not sure I’m missing all that many points. 😉
