So, it was a great movie. Since it’s been a long long time since I’d watched the original, I had to remember the plot points as the movie went on. Some I remembered some I saw as new and others I re-remembered.

The visuals were amazing as you’d expect. The underwater sequences were very well done. The music was fantastic of course. And there were a couple beats that were defo Lin-Manuel Miranda’s. I saw someone say online that they thought his additions to lyrics were distracting and I know I thought that about the songs that were changed in the Aladdin live-action movie. But here, I didn’t hear the additions as much so I didn’t mind it at all.

The actors all did wonderful jobs in their roles. Halle Bailey was brilliant as expected. Jonah Hauer-King, the actor who played Eric was great too.

The plot was pretty much as you’d expect with a couple little tweaks here and there. All-in-all, I had fun watching this iteration of this story.
