Arthouse musicals are films that combine songs and stories, with drama and dancing, that tell a story. They are different from typical musicals like The Lion King or Frozen, because they are usually made independently and have a story that focuses on a unique experience or emotion. They often have characters that don't fit traditional Hollywood stereotypes, and can be set in any location or time in history. They usually have thoughtful lyrics and music that capture a feeling or tells a story. Some films that are considered arthouse musicals are Coco, La La Land, and Call Me By Your Name.
