The Secret Movie Club team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) discusses Disney's return to the major leagues with 1989's THE LITTLE MERMAID and Disney's subsequent animation renaissance (BEAUTY & THE BEAST, ALADDIN, MULAN, TARZAN, etc). We discuss how key the music and songs are to the movies' success as well as how we all became more open to animation as cinema as we get more comfortable with our tastes in adulthood.

Here's our two cents (or would it be three cents?) on the live-action updates of DISNEY'S THE LITTLE MERMAID and DISNEY'S MULAN.
Happy July! It's a chattier chat than usual as we dig into some book news from around Twitter and the business pages. Angie Thomas kicks off Twitter controversy by ... asking not to be tagged in reviews? Microsoft shut down its ebook service, meaning customers who bought books through that service lost them. This is a good reminder to us all that we don’t actually own our ebooks. Loud, ignorant people on the internet are mad that Halle Bailey got a job as Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid remake. We also asked you all what upcoming releases you're most looking forward to. You gave us some great titles to add to our TBR. Thanks to @curvyblackgeek, @almost_esq, @IamTammiJ and @charelliam for sending us their picks! As always, thanks for listening and be sure to check out our next episode when we read and discuss They All Fall Down by Rachel Howzell Hall.

They discuss their characters, the challenges they faced, and what they enjoyed about the fast-paced rehearsal process.
This week the gals discuss getting their futures told, have a debate about whether Yesterday was actually a good movie, discuss new Instagram updates (as well as the Bottle Top Challenge) and Disney's The Little Mermaid casting controversy.
This week, Dahlia and Amy talk about the live-action casting for Disney's "The Little Mermaid." Halle Bailey was announced as Ariel in the upcoming film and many racists cried it would be inaccurate to have Black mermaid in this classic story. Why is it so important for viewers to see a young Black woman be cast as a Disney princess? Plus we're taking a break from Amy vs Dahlia, but leave a rate & review to let us know what you'd like us to argue about in the future.

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you say our trivia's complete? There's nothing fishy about these thirteen things that you probably didn't know about The Little Mermaid, and were confident that you'll make them a part of your world. In the opening scene when King Triton arrives at the arena, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Kermit the Frog can be briefly seen in the crowd of sea-people as mermen when he passes over them. Originally, Sebastian was to have an English accent. It was lyricist/producer Howard Ashman who suggested he speak with a Caribbean accent. This opened the door to calypso-style numbers like "Under the Sea", which won the Academy Award. The character of Ursula was based on drag performer and John Waters regular Divine. Her personality and some of her actions were also largely inspired by a previous Disney villain, Madame Medusa from Disney's The Rescuers. It's possible that Prince Eric could be related to Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. In the dining room in Eric's castle on Ariel's first evening on land, there is a painting hanging on the wall. Ariel was quite deliberately made a redhead in order to distinguish her from Daryl Hannah's character in Splash. "Part of Your World" was nearly cut; Jeffrey Katzenberg felt that it was "boring", as well as being too far over the heads of the children for whom it was intended. At a test screening, children were restless during the song which did not have finished animation - in particular one child sat in front of Katzenberg, spilled his popcorn, and was more interested in picking it up than watching the sequence. After trying with an adult audience, the song was considered a greater success and so the song was left in the film. The Little Mermaid had been a Disney property since 1941. Walt Disney planned to include the much darker Hans Christian Andersen version of the tale in a planned anthology film of the fantasy author's works. After a bitter strike by the animators that same year and the increasing focus on wartime propaganda shorts, the initial version of The Little Mermaid was shelved in 1943. Ariel's rendition of "Part of Your World" set a precedent for subsequent Disney animated musicals where the protagonist would vocalize his or her desires early in the film. The song was referred to by Howard Ashman as the "I Want" song. Deleted scenes: An extended "Fathoms Below" sequence in which it is revealed that Ursula is Triton's sister; alternate version of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" explaining why Ursula was banished by Triton; a scene just before the concert in which Sebastian finds out Ariel is missing; extended scene of Sebastian lost in Eric's castle; Sebastian giving additional advice to Ariel at bedtime; and the fight with Ursula to the ending with no dialogue. This was the first Disney film to receive an Academy Award since Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), though other films had been nominated. Ariel's body type and personality were based on Alyssa Milano. The effect of her hair underwater was based on footage of astronaut Sally Ride in weightless conditions. This was the last Disney animated feature to use hand-painted cels and analog camera and film work. 1,000 different colors were used on 1,100 backgrounds. Over one million drawings were done in total. Several elements from the original Hans Christian Andersen story were kept in the movie, including: Ariel being the youngest of many sisters, the secret white marble statue, the polypi along the entrance to Ursula's cavern, and Ariel asking what she'll have left without her voice and the sea-witch's response. However, in the original story, Ariel doesn't turn back into a mermaid at the end. When the sun rises on the last day she turns to foam and dies. Later editions included her becoming a daughter of the air and rising to heaven.

Fictional characters inspire some of us to be better people. Others inspire people to fight through a difficult time. In the case of my guest today, she was inspired with a love of travel that has lead her all the way around the world. Caleigh Gilfillan has loved Ariel from The Little Mermaid from a very young age. And, from that love, grew a love of travel and a love of adventure that lead her all the way to Shanghai, China!

There were exactly 364 days separating the theatrical releases of Disney's The Little Mermaid and this week's film. What a difference a year can make - specifically, the difference between a film that would jumpstart a flailing company and launch them to new, dizzying heights, and one that would take eight years to get released on home video. It's not hard to see why Disney may have wanted to sweep this movie under the rug. Aside from one very catchy song, this film is a mess of lazy animation, stunt voice casting that rarely works out, and a story so loosely based on Dickens' Oliver Twist that the only similarities are four of the characters' names. This week on We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill watched OLIVER & COMPANY - and for all the savoir faire the characters claim to have, this movie has none.
Strap on your floaties because we're going out to sea.

The DIS Unplugged - A Weekly Roundtable Discussion About All Things Disney World
Dave Parfitt interviews Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award honored playwright Doug Wright discusses his virtually genetic passion for theatre and how that matched up with his conservative Texas childhood; his escape to New Haven and later New York for college and grad school; his early work at the O'Neill Theatre Center and the Yale Repertory Theatre; why he describes his early plays, including "Interrogating the Nude" and "Watbanaland", as having been fueled by rage; how "Quills" was inspired in part by the political culture wars of the mid-90s; where he found inspiration for the macabre and comic one-acts collected as "Unwrap Your Candy"; how he feels about having personally revealed himself in his writing, both as a character in "I Am My Own Wife" and in his essay for the book "The Play That Changed My Life"; why he signed on to collaborate with Scott Frankel and Michael Korie on the musical of "Grey Gardens" after the failure of his only prior musical, "Buzzsaw Berkeley" with Michael John LaChiusa; what drove him to actively lobby for the position of bookwriter on Disney's "The Little Mermaid"; and whether he plans to do more directing after adapting and staging Strindberg's "Creditors" at the La Jolla Playhouse in the summer of 2009. Original air date - January 25, 2010.
