Why are these films so afraid of having fun with the visuals? I get the idea of not wanting to 1:1 the animated film, but do something else, then.

I don't understand the direction of "Miserable, lonely and depressed... pathetic" here either. The point is that she's presenting herself to Ariel as being willing to help others ("I admit that in the past I've been a nasty... I've minded all my ways... etc") so when she says pathetic, it's on the down low to the eels. Here she just... flat out says it to Ariel's face. There's a bit of dialogue where she says "Ohh what has your father told you about me?" or something like that, so clearly they're still going for that angle.

But they can't be bothered to have Ursula murmur "pathetic" to one of the eels? Idk, it's just weird. It's like they're so afraid of being close to the animated version that they lose all sight of what's supposed to be happening on screen.

also can this movie just come out already so I can stop hyper analyzing 60 second teaser clips

I do actually like the visual of her legs like... climbing on top of each other and the way she swims through them for 'And I fortunately know a little magic.' I just wish they would let her do more, have it be more.

I don't understand it either, and the way her expression/intensity doesn't seem to match the actual song at all is... something.

The chorus actually sounds amazing, I can't wait for the soundtrack to hit on Friday.

I only watched to see if they would show the sea slug transformation stuff, like in the gif. They did not. Womp.

For a character that talks about body language being important, this video shows basically none at all. It’s so bland.
