Or 'action packed'. That shark scene will need to be stretched out to build anticipation for Ariel's first song. And I'm imagining the final battle will be at least 20 minutes long, possibly 30.

Squeezing 9 'syllables' into 7 is ridiculous. Should have dropped either 'from' or 'off' when rewriting cause 8 is manageable if you mangle the pronunciation of scale. But what would I know, I'm not an award-winning lyricist.

I'm not sure why I missed the changed lyrics when I first listened to Poor Unfortunate Souls (I blame end of work week tiredness), but this morning watching the 'flilmclip' of the song I heard the change. The original lines: Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll The new line...

That's good at least. Gives Bill more leeway.

Might still give it a watch this weekend, while its currently on my mind. Be my luck if I don't watch this weekend I'll forget and by the time I remember it will be from an announcement that it has already been removed haha

I had a detailed analysis of the songs, but it won't let me post something so long, so the very short summary is a lot of the emotion and fun has been removed with these recordings. The masterclass on manipulation has basically been removed from Poor Unfortunate Souls and even worse Ariel no longer ...

I find it odd that content created exclusively for Disney+ is getting removed just odd. It is decisions like this that makes me grateful I am still old school and purchase physical copies of shows/movies that I really like. I do miss the days of video stores when you knew you could walk in and find ...

A bit of the song Poor Unfortunate Souls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDROLq73Bfc Melissa sounds alright, my main issue is the tempo of the song. Just like many of the other faster paced songs featured in their LA adaptations, the delivery of the lines are slower which is quite jarring and annoyi...

Probably just there so Ursula can say 'Flotsam, Jetsam now I've got her boys' during her song. :D And after looking up the lyrics to confirm I had the right wording, it will be interesting to see if they remove the reference to the Caspian Sea in Ursula's spell. Since it would drive a hole in the ar...

It also confirms that Flotsam and Jetsam and in the movie. I will give the trailer team credit for always making these movies look amazing and worth going to. But then there are always tiny little scenes included that remind me to lower my expectations. For this trailer, it's the Ursula bubble, the ...

One day I hope Menken writes a memoir where he really tells us what he thinks of the live action remakes of the animated films he provided songs for. Because often when I read interviews about his views on the live action films, I get the feeling he is just towing the company line because they are p...

MTV has also released a minute of Kiss The Girl. I wasn't able to find a link that worked here. It's more lifeless and bizarre. But the worst crime is its laziness in the 'choroegraphy. I will never understand why Disney insists on recreating the scenes shot for shot. For me it defeats the purpose b...

1 minute clip of Under The Sea

Real life looking animals singing and dancing will continue to look odd in these adaptations

Based on the track listing for the vinyl it seems there isn't a re-imagined end credit song, just like there wasn't for the original animated version. It's probably a good thing based upon the snooze fest that was A Whole New World with Zayn and his duet partner. And there was something off about th...

I'm also not feeling the fuller orchestra. It’s over stuffy, full of flourishes that don’t need to be there, and probably shouldn’t. Again, this isn’t some live big stage show rendition: this should be about the emotion, and the smaller, intimate way the original handled it was perfect for the smal...

Just listened to Part of Your World. As expected, I loved the extra orchestra the song was given compared to the bare bones orchestra the original got. But as others have said, the word emphasis is all over the place. Not a fan of the way she sings words that were originally spoken and I will never ...
