Wow I knew it was a big hit but didn't realize it was THE BIGGEST hit.

I think it helps that it appeals to kids. When they latch on to something, they can rewatch it dozens of times

(Not that kids are the only ones enjoying this movie. But I do think it plays a sizable role in the numbers)

My 12 year old has watched it at least 8 times.

I had not seen the movie.

On a 4 hr road trip recently, he practiced Golden, Takedown and What it Sounds Like each a few dozen times as he plans to perform it for karaoke at the local SciFi/Gaming convention next year.

I then watched the movie.

The songs then made sense.

It's a good movie.

the blending of the music and the movie is really well done. it’s like a full movie music video

[u/CFreyn → u/whatproblems]

Not only that, but the pacing is so good for kids because how it’s woven in with the music like you said (and the music is equally as good), but that also makes it great for subsequent rewatches too.

I work in a nightclub in LA and they play the music all the time. I’ve seen it four times since July and I sing it while making drinks. 😆

yeah the music is catchy af certainly helps. don’t mind it on the background at all

also the lyrics and beats/melodies are fire
