The Phantom Thieves have gotten a little too literal for my taste.

THE ORIGINAL MUSICAL IS ALSO NOT VERY GOOD, WITH SOME SONG CHOICES THAT ARE GENUINELY CREEPY GIVEN THEIR POSITION IN THE SHOW.BUT WITH THE RIGHT CAST AND PRODUCTION DECISIONS IT CAN HAVE A QUALITY NOT UNLIKE THAT OF A BAG OF KITTENS. THEY ARE POOPING EVERYWHERE AND TEARING UP THE FABRIC, BUT THEY ARE ALSO JUST SO CUTE.

AN INTERESTING ARGUMENT. IT IS STILL A BAD, BAD MOVIE, FAILING IN ALL THE WAYS THE FIRST TWO WORKED. I WILL GRANT THAT THERE ARE GOOD PERFORMANCES IN IT.
