— marks his return to the 1989 Disney classic, and anyone who comes out of the movie tapping their feet should check out these similarly belovedEven decades later, Little Shop of Horrors is a widely beloved musical by fans of the genre. The idea of taking a 1960 Roger Corman-directed horror comedy and making it into a wild and charming musical was an inspired one.
From the innovative puppeteering techniques behind the monstrous plant Audrey II to the incredibly stacked cast — featuring Steve Martin in a lead role and stars like Bill Murray and John Candy making appearances — Little Shop of Horrors stood out from the start as a hilarious musical that was unlike anything else. Menken and Ashman’s new song for the movie, “Mean Green Mother From Outer Space,” would nab the two their first Oscar nominations, though it would be far from their last.
From “Be Our Guest” to “Beauty and the Beast” itself, the entire soundtrack of Disney’s 30th animated feature is firmly engraved into an entire generation’s minds.
