In a recently-shared Zoom call, Sher said of the film, “It’s not a musical per se; it just has music in it. The music is part of the film and the characters. But I don’t know if it’s a musical.” Someone should tell Sher that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a musical (or singing duck?).
