PART OF YOUR WORLD 1989 was a year of crazy changes. In 1989, Batman went from cheesy 60s camp into a dark, gothic universe that is still popular today. In 1989, we saw the fall of Communism, as revolutions in the Eastern bloc caused the end of the Soviet Union, while Brazil had their first presidential election, ending the nation’s military rule. And in 1989, Disney came back swinging in a big way with The Little Mermaid, the film that changed the company forever. After decades of box office and critical failures, The Little Mermaid was both a nostalgic throwback to the classic Disney films of old like Snow White and Cinderella, while also serving as a modern breath of fresh air to the classic Disney formula. A proactive female protagonist, top of the line animation, incredible music from Broadway’s brightest. It was the ultimate Disney movie and it worked like gangbusters. Immediately Disney’s biggest animated movie ever made, its box office success put Disney out of their slump and kickstarted the Disney Renaissance, home to some of the greatest, most beloved Disney films ever made. Without The Little Mermaid, there’s no Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen, Zootopia, Moana, Encanto, and so on. And to this day, even after three decades, The Little Mermaid is still a cash cow and beloved by audiences young and old alike. This of course means that this too has gotten the live-action remake treatment. This was always going to be a big deal for obvious reasons, but on July 3, 2019, one casting choice sealed this movie’s fate as an event. Rising star and Beyonce’s very own protege, Halle Bailey, would end up playing the famed Disney Princess. This casting decision is an exciting one, as one of the best Disney Princesses ever is being portrayed by somebody with an angelic voice and a passion for the original movie. And for tons of young Black viewers, they get to see themselves represented as the beautiful princess for the first time since Princess and the Frog nearly 15 years ago. It's a landmark representation that is exciting for young and old and has definitely led to very measured and mature responses from many. Since that initial teaser trailer, the buzz and hype for this movie has been red hot and it's set to have one of the biggest Memorial Day openings of all time. It will certainly be a productive weekend, and it's a ride that should be fun...at points.l But we have some big ground rules to cover. And that includes some stuff that need to be discussed for...reasons. 1. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS And yes, this does apply to a remake of a movie everybody here has seen. And of course, recently released movies and shows on streaming qualify under this. No Fast X spoilers, no Guardians 3 spoilers, no Muppets Mayhem spoilers, etc. 2. THE REPORT AND IGNORE BUTTONS ARE YOUR FRIEND 3. DON'T BE A DICK And yes, in terms of the “Halle as Ariel” elephant in the room, let’s just lay some stuff out because I know somebody’s going to be that guy. Yes, you can criticize this movie. Yes, you can criticize Halle’s performance. No movie or person is above criticism. You can even argue that Halle’s casting “hurt” the movie’s box office for whatever reason. But no personal attacks against her, no racist language, no complaining about racebending or “blackwashing”, no whining about “woke culture”, none of that. You’re adults, so act like one. Failure to do so will lead to warning points and threadbans in your future. And if you can’t handle being a racist asshole because of a casting choice in a dumb kids movie, then leave. We don’t need your garbage here. WE WILL OPEN THE THREAD WHEN THE US PREVIEWS ARRIVE TOMORROW MORNING. YOU KNOW WHY.

He's definitely flawed, but I do think he does well when it comes to giving strong acting performances, which does a lot, and his films are generally well-paced and have enough fun sequences that make me smile. I get the hate, but I think he's alright. He does the job for me.

Though yes, if people don't like these jokey titles, I have changed it to something more neutral.

Then why are you here? If you don't like this "clown site" because of a silly thread title for a silly kids movie about a guy who runs really fast, why are you spending your free time here? We're not the only place on the entire Internet where you can talk about The Flash, so why stick around a place you hate? Oh, and you got warning points because you told people "stfu", not because of a "different opinion". I don't think I need to explain why insults aren't allowed here.

He was the best part though.

It's May.

10-11x IMO

This looks like like a character from a courtroom sketch.

@Boxofficerules @Flopped I have no idea how well Boogeyman is doing, because I am currently preoccupied with three other movies with tons of showtimes and I don't have enough time on my hands. I will track it next week, so you will have to wait until then.
