I'm really...amazed that "Trollland" (sometimes called "Trollz" just to make what it's ripping off even more obvious) was actually released.

Just...wow.

Hahahaa…that’s hilarious. All those people need new agents. And DVD!? Yeah, he obviously wasn’t told what level animation this was. It’s a crime he doesn’t book any big level animated voices.

Okay. That might have made the song worth it.

Saw a funny post of Reddit this weekend:
I see Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse is doing well and had a huge opening day. I guess all that "racism" disappeared in a week.

It’s also funny how Mermaid's $117m opening was played down as a slight disappointment, while Spidey's projected $120m is being called "huge".

What a difference $3m makes… ;)

The Little Mermaid had 4 days opening while Spider-Verse had only 3 days. Little Mermaid's 3 day number was $95m.

Well, it's also a budget thing. Little Mermaid cost a reported $250 million (how???), while Spider-Verse was kept with a far leaner $100 million price tag.

Kind of like how Illumination's Despicable Me and Disney's Tangled made nearly identical amounts of money in 2010, but only Despicable Me was profitable in the end, because it had a significantly smaller budget.

Hallie’s voice is beautiful and her expressions are adorable.

Other than that, awful. Just awful. :(



On the bubbles: Yeah, you definitely do feel their absence.

Life! Life! Still no life!

"Give my creation…life!" And some genuine emotion, *please*!!! :(

She just kills it, and not in the good way. Yeah, skipping this. Def a wait for D+ and an eventual 4K "for free" via Insiders. What a shame.

You don't even feel the depth of deep green sea from the animated version--

Looking at Ariel swim through the new Booking.com commercials, undersea is clean, bright, blue, and, well...LOOKS like something cheap enough to have come from a TV commercial.
