DD5 is looking for this film:

It has the boys with hats and green hair in a black and white room. And the boys sing.

Wtf?

PudULike · 20/09/2025 13:55

Cat in the Hat? Grinch?

NO mummy.

The Grinch doesn't have a hat. The Cat in the Hat has a red and white hat.

(That's me told)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

They do have green hair but they don't have hats

Nightmare Before Christmas
Wizard of Oz
Wicked?

FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease · 20/09/2025 13:58

New piece of info:

They sing just one song and I think it has really loud guitars

Trolls?

FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease · 20/09/2025 13:59

Also, the hats are black

Sounds like a music video.

What happens after the bit with the boys with green hair singing? What's the next bit of the story?

LimeBasilandManderin · 20/09/2025 14:01

Is it a cartoon movie

Columbidae · 20/09/2025 14:02

Does she mean boys, as in children, or could it be young men? If they only sing one song it does sound more like a music video.

FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease · 20/09/2025 14:05

Ok.

I keep asking what else happens in this film, and she says nothing. I explained films are very long, and they can't just sing one song for that long. But that's all she can recall. DD has excellent recollection of things though.

I suspect it's just a shorter episode of something. She's potentially calling it a film because it's something you can select on Netflix/Prime

Snow White - I’m thinking when they sing the hi, ho it’s off to work we go song. Although the colours don’t match (I don’t think) but it’s a song, hats and boys.

Or Peter Pan - and she’s mixing up green hair with peters hat colour.

Nopayrise · 20/09/2025 14:07

If she’s been watching via your account go on and see if it suggests “continue watching”?

Bobiverse · 20/09/2025 14:08

ChatGPT always gets these and it has no idea.

BruceAndNosh · 20/09/2025 14:10

Backstreet Boys? 😂

HyggeTygge · 20/09/2025 14:10

The way these threads always go, I'm betting it's Schindler's List Grin

SnottyLittleMango · 20/09/2025 14:12

The first thing I thought of was Beetlejuice with the green hair and black and white room - might be a bit scary for a 5 year old though...

Trallers · 20/09/2025 14:18

Can she remember any words from the song?

It's made me think of the Gorrilaz but that seems unlikely. There's a green hair character in the Kpop demon hunters film - has she seen a bit of that?

SillySeal · 20/09/2025 14:22

I've just put the info in chat gpt and it suggests a music video likely from a K pop band?

Fruitlips · 20/09/2025 14:30

PudULike · 20/09/2025 13:55

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

This

BriefEncountersOfTheThirdKind · 20/09/2025 14:31

I would have said K Pop Demon Hunters. It's everywhere at the moment
