Breaking the Fourth Wall is based around the idea of bands who only exist within the context of their movies/TV shows decide to break out of their movies (hence the title) and come together to put on a concert for their fans in real life. They are tired of being confined to a screen.
The requirements in choosing these bands were that they cannot have performed or produced music outside of their movie and are live action, not animated.
Beginning originally as an animated music group, Josie and the Pussycats became a popular live action film in 2001. This spunky girl group is the leading act for Breaking the Fourth Wall.
