Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1975 animated television special created by Maurice Sendak (based on some of his children's booksnote Namely, The Sign on Rosie's Door, as well as the Nutshell Library books.) and performed by Carole King, which was later adapted into an off Broadway play.Rosie (voiced by King) is a young girl who lives on Brooklyn's Avenue P and dreams of stardom. She decides she wants to make a movie about her life (in particular the "demise" of her friendnote her brother in the stage play Chicken Soup), and demands that her friends (Kathy, Pierre, Alligator, and Johnny, aka The Nutshell Kidsnote Although technically, Kathy is from The Sign on Rosie's Door.) all perform a "screen test" to get themselves a role. Each of these turns into a Disney Acid Sequence depicting a story from one of Sendak's Nutshell Library books, with Rosie singing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })First up, Johnny performs "One Was Johnny", a counting song in which Johnny finds himself driven to distraction by various intruders in his home, including a rat, a cat, a dog, a turtle, a bird, a tiger, a monkey, and a thief. Eventually he loses his temper and insists that if they don't depart immediately he will eat all of them. The creatures flee, leaving Johnny by himself, which he enjoys. Rosie praises Johnny's performance.Next, Alligator (an actual alligator) insists on auditioning, by performing "Alligators All Around" an alphabet song based around Added Alliterative Appeal and producing related items from a Bag of Holding. Rosie is less receptive of this performance, stating "Don't call us, we'll call you."Pierre doesn't want anything to do with Rosie's film, and insists that he doesn't care what happened to Chicken Soup. Rosie tricks him by implying that Chicken Soup was in fact eaten, and Pierre enthusiastically tells his own life story, "Pierre." In it, he is a willful brat who announces "I don't care!" in response to everything and refuses to behave. A lion threatens to eat him, but he still claims not to care. After he is eaten, Pierre's parents find the lion sick in Pierre's bed, with their son's voice still saying "I don't care!" from within. Turning the lion upside down frees Pierre, who decides he cares after all.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A thunderstorm breaks out, and the Nutshell Kids flee indoors, where Rosie finally tells them what happened to Chicken Soup; he prepared a bowl of soup, didn't notice a small bone within, and choked to death. The kids decide to act this out, and Chicken Soup himself enters and wonders why everyone is lying down.Rosie insists that he audition as well, and the others want to join in. The entire group performs "Chicken Soup With Rice," a song which celebrates the titular dish in a different way for every month of the year. After they finish, Rosie tells her friends that they can all be in her movie, but by now they have lost interest and go their separate ways. Rosie nonetheless decides that her film has been a great success.Has nothing to do with Rosie O'Donnell, or Roseanne Barrnote Although the latter once had an animated series called "Little Rosey"..

Darker and Edgier: The (off-broadwaynote School play versions may or may not have these parts, or might be tamer in comparison.) stage play includes some frank examples of the main characters being slapped or screamed at by their parents. It also makes clear that this version of Rosie isn't nearly so happy or at peace with herself as the version in the special.

All There in the Script: In the cartoon, Kathy is never referred to by name, neither is Johnny's dog, Jenny, or Rosie's cat, Buttermilk. In the stage play, Kathy is not only referred to by name, but also given the full Jewish name of Kathy Grossman.

Furry Confusion
 Really Rosie / int_27a40541
comment
Furry Confusion: Alligator is fairly anthropomorphic, possessing hands, wearing clothing, and walking upright. No other animal in the special does so, though some of them can talk. And during "Chicken Soup With Rice", he joins the other kids in riding on a (non-anthropomorphic) crocodile's back.

Kids Are Cruel
 Really Rosie / int_63389b0b
comment
Kids Are Cruel: The Nutshell Kids clearly don't believe for a second that Chicken Soup is actually dead (they show no surprise when he turns up), but they still find Rosie's story about him choking to death rather amusing and play along enthusiastically. They're also prone to teasing and snarking at each other in the street scenes. Maurice Sendak once said that he wanted to be more honest than other children's writers about how "barbaric" kids can be.

Bag of Holding: Alligator has his mom toss one down for "Alligators All Around". It contains a multitude of props to use during the song, some of which clearly can't fit inside. It even gets set on fire briefly, but somehow doesn't get burnt.

Composite Character: Minor example, but the role of Pierre’s Parents in "Pierre" gets filled by Johnny and Kathy.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Rosie was inspired by a girl Sendak knew in his childhood, who was constantly singing on her balcony. "The Ballad of Chicken Soup" was inspired by a story she once told the local kids about the horrible "death" of her very-much-alive grandmother.

Space Whale Aesop: If you don't care, your parents will leave you at home and you'll be swallowed whole by a lion.

Swallowed Whole: Pierre in his song. He's perfectly fine once they hold the beast upside down and get it to roar.

Easily Forgiven: The lion in "Pierre". His parents forgive it for eating their son (though he is none the worse for it) and even allow it to stay the weekend. At least it offered them a ride home.

Creepy Child: Downplayed with Johnny in the stage play, while he is as normal as the others, his tendency to talk about strange things he has read tends to weird the other kids out.

comment
Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: No one at all finds it unusual in the slightest that one of the kids is an anthropomorphic alligator. There is also a literal application of this trope. "One Was Johnny" features a tiger and "Pierre" features a lion.
