Mannequin Starship

It was today, February 13th, 1987, that the film Mannequin debuted in theatres. The film received mixed reviews from critics but found success at the box office. It grossed over $42 million worldwide, making it a commercial success considering its modest budget.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" captured the spirit of the '80s with its infectious melody and powerful lyrics. As the standout track in "Mannequin," the song perfectly encapsulates the film's romantic storyline, adding an extra layer of enchantment to the on-screen love between Jonathan Switcher and his living mannequin, Emmy. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" quickly became a chart-topping hit, solidifying its place as an iconic love ballad of the '80s. The song's popularity extended far beyond the film, making it a timeless anthem.

While "Mannequin" might be remembered for its quirky premise and charming characters, the enduring legacy of the film is undoubtedly tied to the unforgettable soundtrack featuring Starship's hit, Belinda Carlisle, Alisha, The Temptations and more...but we'll save those for another post... The synergy between the film's narrative and the emotional resonance of "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" has made the song synonymous with the magic of '80s cinema.
