Cabaret. *sob*
AIDA's is happy-ish. I mean, it's Disney, so they couldn't just end with Aida and Radames' death; they had to add something.

If you really think about it, Aida is kinda a sad ending. The two main characters die!

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere
