Maybe it's part of a secret plan to excise all of their good songs out of their movies, likely so they don't have to pay performers and songwriters (because with Disney it's always about not paying talented people if at all possible). I think Aladdin's the only one so far that actually kept all their crowd-pleasers, and I don't want a Mulan without I'll Make A Man Out Of You.

I'm morbidly curious what they'll do to The Little Mermaid. It's largely probably the movie in their canon that begs for the fewest changes, it's already both perfect for their audience and dodging most criticisms, both valid and not, you could throw at it. Which means you don't have to remake it, but they're still doing it, and there's like twelve possible ways each that they could either gently caress up or validate the whole thing.

The Little Mermaid is kinda weird, cause on one hand you have Ariel and she can understand all the critters, but then you have Eric?, and he can't, so that whole "Kiss the girl" song is basically him in a boat with a lot of animals going loving bonkers.

We the audience have the benefit of having our universal translator up & running for the duration of the movie.

So the top part of Ariel is human & has tits, which implies she produces milk, but her lower half is fish, which implies she lays eggs. Does this make mermaids platypuses?

Mermaid tails go up and down like a cetacean, so they are likely mammals.

Well if you're going in that direction, all historical accounts of mermaids are just lonely sailors seeing different marine mammals and thinking about it for a second

When I was younger the factoid was that sailor mistook sea animals for mermaids and what not cause of optical illusions.

Later you find out that no the sailor were seeing normal sea animals and also really horny.

Platypuses don't have tits, they secrete milk through pores in their skin and the younglings lap it up.

Every time I think I have a handle on how weird platypuses are, they're still weirder.
