Okay, so this wasn’t one for me when I was a kid, for whatever reason, I dunno, I was probably too busy wearing out the vhs of the little mermaid and beauty and the beast to notice this, I guess, but I saw it in college and again tonight, and it’s really grown on me.
As all the reviews I’ve seen on here say, Meg is unreasonably hot, and if I had seen this as a kid I would’ve wanted to be her so bad it likely would’ve ruined my summer.
“Go the Distance” and “I Won’s Say I’m in Love” are also Classic Menken, but the others are pretty forgettable, really feeling the loss of Howard Ashman here. I do love the whole vibe, though, and while I’m just insufferable enough to be bugged by how far off it is from the original myths, it’s still a fun 90 minute ride.
