The Producers (2005)
Comedy | Musical
New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables).

Monster High: Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? (2011)
Animation
Monster High is the model high school for monster integration; a melting pot where all monsters can let their fangtastic freak flags fly. But when other monster schools are merged with Monster High, the balance is upset and the school is thrown into social chaos. Our ghouls find themselves up against a convincing normie Administrator Van Helscream, who is determined to drive a stake into the harmony of the school and magnify old grievances in order to isolate and separate the monster groups. Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura and their ghoulfriends can only cure his agenda of intolerance if they can prove that the culture clash of Fur and Fang is no longer an issue and restore the imperfectly perfect harmony of Monster High.
