Music, comedy & horror made a fantastic mix
To me this film will never get old. It's a fantastic mix of dark comedy and horror, with some brilliant musical numbers thrown in. The casting is spot on, Rick Moranis is perfect as Seymour and the cameos from John Candy, Bill Murray etc are all great. Best by far though has to be Steve Martin as Orin Scrivello. And Levi Stubbs brings so much to Audrey II.

The songs are ridiculously catchy, even the slower ballads. And the animatronics are really good, but would you expect any less from Frank Oz? One of my all time favourite musicals and a must see at the theatre too.

The Hardys Take on Counterfeiters
Fenton Hardy is hard at work on a top secret case. When Frank and Joe go to pick him up from the train station, their friend Chet is passed a counterfeit bill. Can the brothers find the counterfeiters? What is their father working on? And what is happening at the old mill outside of town?

While the big picture of the plot may be obvious to adults early on, I remember enjoying this one as a kid, and I got caught up in the action again. It does help that the details still need to be filled in and there is plenty of action along the way to the climax. The characters are shallow, but I didn’t mind as a kid, and I’m sure today’s kids won’t mind either.
