Ep. 29: Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989)

"Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be part of your world!" It's Disney week, and Drew and Cassie are here to battle it out! We break down the story, characters, music, and more of Disney's 1989 animated film, and explore further into changes made for the 2008 stage adaptation. We discuss the incorporation of Broadway-style storytelling, Triton as a father figure, Disney characters with Shakespearean names, updates to Ursula and Eric's characters for the stage musical, the Little Mermaid Extended Universe, Disney sequels, theme parks, dinglehoppers, and who is more annoying: Scuttle, Olaf, or Jaq and Gus? And of course, there’s plenty of discourse about Ursula the sea witch. Plus, find out which fairy tale we will be talking about in February!  Join our community!
