(no subject)

I watched the Wicked movie, and greatly enjoyed it.

I'm about to say something that sounds like an insult, but I assure you it's not: the choreographer worked on Disney Channel Movies, and you can tell.

There's a distinctive style of choreography that lives on in the Disney channel, of "we have hired one hundred of the best dancers we can find, and we are having them all dance at once, all hitting their marks, even when they are not the focus of the shot."

And it is glorious.

The Wicked movie understood the assignment: that it is about singing and dancing and it should be utterly shameless about it.
