0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I think this version of the Little Mermaid is even

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>more trans than the cartoon.

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.280

<v Speaker 3>Rose has a friend recording with me. Lifted up a

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>limited edition Hallie Bailey.

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>As it is not limited edition, that's like sell it

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>at Target. They sell it a Target. It will be

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>made forever. So there's just one friend. This is one

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>friend who I have, and then another friend who I

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>have is is that the Vanessa.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, this is.

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Human aerial and her like blue dress and her sandals.

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, her sandals are very lesbian.

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>And then I do have Vanessa.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>I love that you have Vanessa. Is that Vanessa from

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three or is that a vintage Vanessa?

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>No, this is Vanessa from twenty twenty three. Wow.

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm so shook that they made a Vanessa doll too,

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>because like, she's such a small part of the movie.

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>They like kind of, but she's an iconic part, which

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 3>we'll get to. Yes, are Rose and I have big, big, big,

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 3>like lots of thoughts about this, Like I feel like.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Can I guess?

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I can I guess?

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Can I guess what you thought about it? Yeah?

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 3>I would love that.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I loved it. So I'm assuming you didn't

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you loved it. I loved it, Okay.

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I loved my experience of watching the movie. I would

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 3>absolutely watch it again. I did not think it was

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 3>an amazing movie. But I thought that Hallie say that

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 3>to Halle's face as I was about to say.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 2>That, Wait, we need we're gonna spread. What do you

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 2>think of my movie?

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Fand Roses holding up the Bailey, Barbie and it's actually

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 3>one of the funniest inside of.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>So I was gonna say it again, say it again

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to her face, So say it to her.

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say, I did not think, Oh, wow,

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 3>her mole is present. I love that.

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 2>And look she has she has edges too.

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Wow, she looks so good. I was gonna say, I

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>did not think it was an amazing movie, like on

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 3>the kind of construct and like creative directorial level. But

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 3>I thought that Halle Bailey was amazing, and I will

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 3>watch that movie over. I will watch that movie again

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 3>just for Halle Bailey. Like to me, very extreme statement incoming.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 3>I feel personally that Halle Bailey has given us the

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.839
<v Speaker 3>greatest contribution to the Disney Princess cinematic universe since Lea

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Slanga gave us Mulan like. I adored her and her performance,

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 3>and it was untouchable to me as far as all

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 3>other as far as Rose is still playing with the doll.

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>As far I've been playing with in the.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Grand scheme of Disney reboots, of which I have seen

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 3>almost all of them, I think I haven't seen Dumbo

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>or jungle Book. I actually heard jungle Book was pret good.

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 3>But I've seen all the other ones, and I felt

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 3>like this was far and beyond way better than the

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 3>other reboots. I know that's a very low bar, but

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 3>that's what I'll say. Okay, I think it's a good

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 3>place to start. I feel like we both really liked

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 3>our experience.

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, okay, so I loved it. I I gave

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>it when on my letterboxed review, I gave it a

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>four point five out of five.

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I Hallie was incredible.

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 2>She had.

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>She brought such such a lovely softness to the role.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>She was so innocent and effervescent, and she really was

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a Disney princess exactly. She was so expressive the part

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of the movie where she couldn't talk, like her feelings

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>were still all on her face.

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 2>She was beautiful.

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Her voice was incredible, bowl.

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>And I loved the movie.

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>There was enough different about it that while I was

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 1>watching it, I found myself thinking, Oh, Like I found

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>myself not like wondering what was going to happen next,

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and like, obviously I know what's going to happen next

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>because it's the Little Mermaid, but I was still it

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>took me along for the ride. I was still like

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>fully immersed in the narrative and like everything was still

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>like surprising and funny.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was beautiful.

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>You know some of the cgi stuff, like was a

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>little entranning Valley, you mean her.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Fall face of makeup, her fall like Pat McGrath beat Underwater. Yeah,

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 3>but you know that's just like magic, magic Disney movie.

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 3>I was about Mermaid's like I could not spend I

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 3>was not distracted. I honestly didn't even I wasn't even

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>thinking about it until someone brought it up to me

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 3>after I had seen the movie.

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought her her tail was beautiful. I thought like

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>all of the sea creatures were really well articulated, even

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>like you, I know, Sebastian Flounder, which there was obviously

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>so much conversation around in the lead up to the movie,

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like yes, the first time you see them, they're a

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>little startling. But that feeling for me passed very quickly

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was fully immersed in the movie. I loved

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the music, you know, the new linn Manuel Miranda songs

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>like I don't love him as a songwriter, but Halle's

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like I just Got Legs song was fun and catchy.

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Prince Eric's song was so good. Also, Prince Prince Eric.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I need him biblically. I am in love with him,

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and I thought he and Hallie had incredible chemistry. I

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>thought there scenes of them, like running around the island

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>were so effective and so fun. I loved the sort

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>of fan servicing moments like when Jody Benson gave.

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Her the fork.

0:06:58.800 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Was Jody Benson?

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Jody bensid so amazing?

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I sobbed through so much of the movie.

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I cried. I cried so much.

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 3>What was your biggest crime moment?

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it was probably.

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the one that sticks out to me the

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>most was during the shipwreck when Ariel saves Max the

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>dog and helps him get to the boat.

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 3>That to me, I was I was gad, that was

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>really that was really beautiful. I I definitely cried during

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of Halle Bailey songs just because her her

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 3>voice is so emotional and perfect. I want to respond
