i have so many thoughts about the little mermaid (2023) and it's like. oh my god who cares.
#like who gives a shit it's a nostalgia bait evil corporation remake but also that's part of my thoughts about it
#btw halle bailey invented singing halle and jonah invented chemistry all of the great things about the original still hold up 30 yrs later
#a lot of the expansions were actually really interesting and worked really well for me? like giving eric his own song and fleshing him out
#the song itself was kinda mid as most of the original songs from these remakes are but i liked that they expanded him a bit
#i think they might've missed an opportunity to explore the adoption aspect a little more but idk that might just be me
#and otoh some of the added stuff was so unnecessary like
#making her forget she needs to kiss him just so that idk ursula seems even more evil and sebastian has an 'excuse' to sing kiss the girl??
#silly
#the little mermaid figurine was adorable but they didn't repeat the words 'my little mermaid' so much
#it's not a flaw of the original that they don't say the words 'the little mermaid' you don't have to say the title in the movie
#a lot of these changes felt like they think the audience is dumb and don't trust them to understand that it's called the little mermaid
#because she is the youngest sister and she is a mermaid. we get it okay we understand.
#and also like. i get why they recruit these really talent and famous musical theatre composers to write new songs but
#i think it's a better idea to get writers who can emulate menken and ashman's style a bit better bc the new songs really stuck out
#lin manuel miranda is so talented but his style is so different to theirs idk
#long story short halle bailer supremacy + trust your audience
#or maybe don't bc my siblings always prefer the remakes to the originals and they're more representative of the general audience so.
