Billy Elliot/YMMV

This film provides examples of:

 * Memetic Mutation: "DANCE, BILLY!!!" and also "HE FUCKING DID IT!!!"
 * Retroactive Recognition: Jamie Bell is much better known now for playing Tintin.

The musical adaptation provides examples of:

 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: "Expressing Yourself" features gigantic dancing dresses. No people, just dresses. It's supposed to be unrealistic, but that doesn't alleviate the weirdness very much.
 * Some performances of "Merry Christmas, Margaret Thatcher" also feature a giant, puppeteer-esque INFLATABLE Maggie Thatcher looming over the stage/audience like a Thanksgiving Parade balloon from Hell. She is nightmarish, captivating, horrifying... and never, ever mentioned again. (This Troper hoped fervently to see her again at Curtain Call... oh well. Missed Moment of Awesome, perhaps?)
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: "A Town Called Malice."
