GET TO KNOW ME [5/20] MOVIES AKEELAH AND THE BEE [2006]

[thewickedbohemian]

Yet another idea poll regarding my projects, this time it's for stuff I'd want to make into stage musicals if I could (but stuff slightly B-list enough that people might not think to adapt it)

Some clarifications

a MLP: FIM stage musical would adapt the pilot or something else that could stand on its own yet still be adequate character introduction and characters would be conveyed in a similarly symbolic way to how Spongebob's musical does it with appropriate-color hair (YMMV on if they'd also need body paint) and a tail the same color on their tush, horns for the unicorns and wings for the pegasi, and evocative-of-character outfits (like what they wear in Equestria Girls) with their cutie mark displayed prominently)

making a stage musical out of the Luke Cage or Jessica Jones shows wouldn't necessitate speedrunning the whole plot but finding an adequately standalone piece of it

Unlike my ideas for MLP: FIM and Little Bear, a A Bug's Life musical wouldn't try to convey character through entirely symbolic-clothing-and-relevant-animal-parts a la Spongebob (unless this initial idea is impractical) but would have costumes that can actually more clearly convey what kind of bug everyone is (and my ideas have taken some cues from The Masked Singer in order to not make things look too theme-park-show)

A Little Bear musical would adapt a handful of episodes of the show that have a common theme and/or featured-side-character and just like my vision for A Bug's Life the music would be kinda country-folk-bluegrass-y to convey the rustic setting

Sure Psych would need some lengthening to make up for the commercial breaks but some of the songs could stand to be longer anyway

no I'm not sure how the spider-robot-hat-thing would work in Meet The Robinsons, yes I still think it'd make a cool musical

If Broadway can handle Sweeney Todd it can handle Midsommar (which would be another folk musical) or The Menu

Since my one for non-musical Disney movies got so well-received here's one putting the live-action movies together (as I think some may have suffered in their separate polls thanks to what they were against)

The ones for movies based on books will be with the books in a future poll, also feel free to suggest ideas for casting etc. in the comments

Akeelah and the Bee

By AS

Akeelah and The Bee (2006) is about an 11 year old outspoken Black girl with a newly found talent. Akeelah has high hopes that her spelling can take her to the National Spelling Bee despite her mother's strong objections. Akeelah still does not give up on her goal. She seeks help in a mysterious teacher along with the overwhelming support from her community.

My favorite scene in this movie, directed by Doug Atchinson, is when Akeelah is in her most heightened frustration. Her teacher, Dr. Larabee, comes to her to read the first three lines of “Our Deepest Fear” written by Marianne Williamson. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness... That most frightens us.” This quote in the poem means to me that you can do anything you put your mind to times ten. Akeelah achieves precisely that in this movie.

I rate this film 10/10. It has an incredible meaning behind it. This movie has honestly inspired me and influenced me greatly. It can be applied to anyone young or old, rich or poor, Black or white. Anyone struggling to forge a new path.

AKEELAH AND THE BEE- 2006 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Akeelah, a young gifted girl, comes from a dysfunctional family and is on the verge of quitting school. She discovers that she has a high aptitude for spellings and enters a spelling bee contest.

Great Bee movie. Akeelah is a true underdog you go Akeelah spell them words. Great supporting performance from Laurence Fishbourne. An inspiring film. Couldn't stop laughing everytime cut to a photo of her dead dad for some reason.

Best spelling movie I've seen.

Don't ever let somebody make you feel like you can't change the past that already happened and future events that haven't even happened yet
