The Maus Trapp   (+4)  [vote for, against]
The hills are alive to the sound of Panzers ...

Heartwarming action-adventure war musical in which an Austrian aristocrat, his children, and their English governess steal a Nazi German supertank and escape over a mountain pass into Switzerland, singing as they go.

Tank http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088224/
Not quite as musical and not much of a plot, but fun to watch anyway. [RayfordSteele, May 20 2016]

Given the slow top speed of the Maus, and the fact that (according to Wikipedia) it used "Skoda Works designed running gear and tracks", this would be rather a slow-moving musical.

Everyone's a critic. Like you could do better … a musical based on the exploits of your own notably dysfunctional, if aristocratic, family would probably never make it onto stage or film.

I take it, [8th], that you've never seen "The Elephant Man", "Chacun a son Gout", "Grease" or "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"?

Worse - much, much worse - than that, we still vividly recall (despite the drugs, therapy, alcohol abuse and electric shocks) the Intercalary's Lego version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves from Dusk to Dawn in Las Vegas" which killed the Christmas mood about as effectively as Reinhard Heydrich in a synagogue.

The screams of your young niece as she was manhandled into the ambulance by four burly male nurses were clearly distressing to many of the onlookers. Astonishing strength for a seven-year-old; even if the driver's ear was successfully re-attached, he's going to bear the scars for te rest of his life. Perhaps it's fortunate that she only got to see the first 45 seconds of the movie.

This is down right freaky. I just last night asked my husband to download the sound track to The Sound of Music, so I could play it for my residents with Alzheimer's. They love music that they really connected with. So this is rather an amazing coincidence. That's all...bye bye.

Looking forward to the Ratte Pack stage show. [+]

Presumably the Jagdpanzer built on the same chassis would be equipped with a Ratte PaK ...

8.8 cm Pak 43/41 ?
A pea-shooter by Ratte standards.

Climb Every Mountain would be a challenge. The large ensemble could get out and push. [+]

Did anyone post a Mouse Trump idea yet?

(If so, I missed it...)

Not that we know of ... a HB idea based on <link> has amusing possibilities...
