Musical for the New Year. The best domestic New Year's musicals

The musical is a specific genre: some viewers like films in which the main characters sing for the entire 80-120 (or even more) minutes, while other cinema fans, on the contrary, would agree to watch some “stupid” comedy or “snotty” melodrama, just to get rid of the heavy burden of watching “singing” films. It seems that since you opened this article, it means that you were initially determined to watch musical films. That’s why we have prepared a list of must-see musicals for the New Year 2017 just for you. They will definitely brighten up any winter evening and they will give you a lot Have a good mood on the eve of the holiday.

Year of manufacture: 1956

Country: USSR

Genre: musical, melodrama, comedy

Director: Eldar Ryazanov

Script: Boris Laskin, Vladimir Polyakov

Cinematographer: Arkady Kaltsaty

Composer: Anatoly Lepin

Cast: Igor Ilyinsky, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Yuri Belov, Georgy Kulikov, Sergey Filippov, Olga Vlasova, Andrey Tutyshkin, Tamara Nosova, Gennady Yudin, Vladimir Zeldin and others.

Let's start, perhaps, with a domestic masterpiece in the musical genre - the film of the year according to the magazine "Soviet Screen" and the leader of the Soviet film distribution. We believe we are not being too disingenuous if we call “Carnival Night” a full-fledged debut of the author “ Office romance" and "Ironies of Fate" in full film. This film is often rewatched just before the New Year, so take note of what was said, if you haven’t seen it, and make it a good tradition. And if you have seen it, watch it again and enjoy it again. Five minutes, five minutes - is it a lot or a little?..

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Year of manufacture: 1993

Country: USA

Genre: cartoon, musical, fantasy, family

Director: Henry Selick

Screenplay: Caroline Thompson, Tim Burton, Michael McDowell

Cinematographer: Pete Kozachik

Composer: Danny Elfman

Actors: Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Glenn Shadix, Paul Reubens, Ken Page, Ed Ivory, Susan McBride, Debi Durst and others.

It is a mistake to believe that this cartoon in the musical film genre was directed by Tim Burton. He acted here as a producer, for which he received recognition in the title: in the original, the title of the film sounds like “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.” The director of this amazing cartoon, which later became a cult film, was Henry Selick, who is also the author of the no less original “Coraline in the Land of Nightmares”, based on the children's story of the same name by Neil Gaiman. The following is worth saying about Nightmare, and this will be enough, believe me: while watching you will get everything you expect from Tim Burton and New Year's film: a good portion of obscurantism and positivity, respectively. And also enjoy listening to excellent music created by composer Danny Elfman, as well as the magnificent voices of the actors, by choosing to watch the original audio track.

Frozen

Year of manufacture: 2013

Following The Nightmare Before Christmas, we will put another cartoon on our list. "Frozen" is a free interpretation of the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen " The Snow Queen" One could say one thing about the film itself: let it go and forget it, but in case we are being read by those who are not yet familiar with this masterpiece of Disney animation, we will not limit ourselves to this. Two Oscars (for " Best song"- the composition Let It Go and "Best Animated Film"), together with box office receipts of more than $1.2 billion - these are, of course, important indicators in the context of choosing a movie for the evening. But still, “Frozen” attracts simply good and good story about family, friendship and love. This will be enough to make you cry and laugh on New Year's Eve.
