Do you have any specific favourite songs?

Have you seen any of the following musical movies?
https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/gu ... -all-time/

I've seen a lot of those. Some movies on that list are ranked horribly (what kind of psychopath puts the pukey Tim Burton Willy Wonka flick higher than 'Sound of Music', 'Court Jester' or 'Music Man'?), but I realise that's all subjective.

'Singin in the Rain' is a great flick with some awesome song-and-dance numbers. "Make Em Laugh" is a hoot.

Out of this list....

Seen & liked:
Singin' in the Rain
The Wizard of Oz
A Hard Day's Night
A Star is Born (the Garland & Gaga versions)
Once (but only the stage version)
A Night at the Opera
Mary Poppins
The Muppets
In the Heights

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

Sitty sitty bang bang
Anything goes
Sound of Music ( just the opening )
Animaniacs ( I can say this because they have a movie and of course Rita the cat )
Dragon Ball: Garlic Junior ( there was a number with Gohan )
Lum Chan ( because every few episodes they break into dance and song along with the movies as well, which did a really great job of emulating a shooter.
Time Bokan ( because they also had music numbers ), at least it was better then "Super Mario Bros" cartoons, that had a number every few episodes similar to scooby-duo.
Any Disney movie for the most part until we got to the Pixar era. I think the advengers ( that movie with the two mice rescuing the girl ).

I can't think of many genres I dislike more than musicals. As a kid I liked Disney cartoons which were often essentially musicals, but that's all.

I've never heard that women can see more colors than men. There's a lot of biological differences between the two sexes but I'm pretty sure that's not one of them. More likely you're confusing their general preference for cute things, which are often colorful. If you have a source for that claim it'd be an interesting read, though.

Classic Disney didn't make boys weaker. Modern Disney absolutely does, but Disney used to actually be fairly supportive of traditional values. Look at The Lion King, it's a story about becoming a man and overcoming weakness, protecting women, and conquering evil. That was peak Disney. So, I don't agree.

This is correct. Tetrachromacy (the genetic condition that allows for "seeing more colors") is neither exclusive to nor universal of women. The majority of those with the trait are women, but it's VERY rare regardless.
(And because of how the light spectrum works, really all it does is allow one to see more hues in between other hues that most people can already see.)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I never even heard of tetrachromacy, that's actually really cool. I guess it's sort of the opposite of color blindness.
