Reception
editJoyce Worley from Electronic Games said that "Movie Musical Madness is a merry-madcap sort of program. Designed for kids from about age 6 and over, it will nonetheless charm older computerists just as well as they build sets, pick the music, then guide the stars through their paces. The "movies" may never win Academy Awards, but the fun is in the creating![4]
Tom Benford from Commodore Microcomputers said that "Movie Musical Madness is my personal choice for an Oscar. And what's more, it's a great program for kids of any age, including moms, dads and grandparents as well. It's wonderful fun that provides plenty of exercise for your creativity and imagination."[5]
