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?

The Lorax

To be more exact with my answer - the Onceler character from The Lorax - there’s guitars involved in his song.

PaperDreamsHoney · 20/09/2025 16:51

Is the whole room black and white or could it be a checked floor like a ballroom or something?

PaperDreamsHoney · 20/09/2025 16:59

Could it have been a trailer for something?

Haha I knew this reminded me of something - Jamiroquai!

Can you check her viewing history on Netflix? If you click on the profile icon you can find “Recently watched” and “Continue watching”.

Google AI says:

The film you are most likely thinking of is A Cinderella Story (2004).
The scene you described features a fictional boy band called The Hill's Angels. They have green hair, wear hats, and perform a song in a black and white room. The song they sing is a rendition of "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from the original Cinderella.

I have no recollection of that scene 🤣

And that's because it doesn't exist apparently

That's a long gone option. She saw it at least 6mths ago

Outkast - Hey ya

Matches the black and white and green theme. Also hats.

This is exactly what I was about to post. I'd put money on it being the Onceler.

Any time you ask AI something, follow up by asking AI 'what was incorrect about your previous response'... and it will usually figure that out and tell you where it is wrong!!

I have no idea what film/show/video it is though, sorry.

Another here who thinks this is it. It certainly fits with a lot of what your DD is describing.

That's a no.

"It's real boys with green hair"

And Outkast was an amazing shout. But also, no.

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

Definitely this. My DCs are obsessed with it. I know the words to the songs. It is good.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

My first thought was Harry Potter, but I’m sure she’d know if it was that. It’s hardly obscure!
Good luck finding it!

Nope, she knows what trolls are.

These are boys.

The Smurfs.

Really really surprised to hear it wasn't the Onceler. It fit her ideas as well as it could. Is there any possibility she has combined more than one idea and what your actually looking for doesn't exist?

FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease · 20/09/2025 19:23

The boys are real people.

OP posts:
PaperDreamsHoney · 20/09/2025 19:24

Did she say whether they were just singing, or dancing as well?

IDontDrinkTea · 20/09/2025 19:31

I was thinking of the Lorax too. Or else perhaps 4town from turning red?

If it was DS, then I wouldn't take any of it too much at face value

However DD has a borderline photographic memory. She can recall the exact words, and most minor details of everything

She went on her first school trip a year ago when she started reception. It was about an hour away on a coach. About 3 weeks ago, we happened to head in the same direction and the penultimate roundabout before you would turn off to the school trip location, DD announced "this is where our coach took us for the dinosaurs, it's actually at the next round and round" (roundabout)

If she says it's human boys with green hair in a black and white room, and they sing, she isn't mistaken.

I mean, she still can't wipe her bum properly. But her memory is insane.

I agree with PP, we will randomly discover it 3 years later.

She's just gone to bed.

Interrogation will continue in the morning. That's a very good question though. I will also try and ascertain what outfits the boys are wearing.
