6: The Little Mermaid (2023)

 

 Halle is great, but I feel there's a bit less Ariel than we need underwater. We need a little more.

You can hate the man's theater kid personality, but Lin-Manuel Miranda is very good at what he does, and I am a fan of everything outside of Hamilton (Sans "The Room Where It Happens", that slaps).

 I love "The Family Madrigal", "Dor Orugitas", "We Don't Talk About Bruno", and from "Vivo", "One of A Kind", "One More Song", "Inside Your Heart".


Here, he wrote several new songs for Eric, Scuttle (Oh no) and Sebastian (who already has the second best Disney song in "Under The Sea", so), but they're pretty good! I genuinely like the Scuttle and Sebastian duet.


Melissa McCarthy ATE, absolutely killed it in a good way.

8 A Quiet Place Day One

    It's carried by Lupita, because the narrative doesn't have the strongest punch to really get across its themes.
