The Little Mermaid (2023)
Fun time, better than original
This is not a perfect movie plot/art wise but this is a perfect movie to enjoy. It stayed true to the original while fixing the OG's plotholes and giving more characterization and backstory. The casting was perfect, the music was beautifully done, and many of the CGI underwater scenes were so pretty. This story gave Ariel and Eric reasons to relate to each other and fall in love, it builds way more relationship between them. You see their personalities shine through and there are so many moments of actual logic, I love it. We may not have needed a live action Little Mermaid (ngl how Sebastian looked may end up in a nightmare or two but thats just me) but I'm very glad we have it. From all of the little girls first experiencing the Little Mermaid to the old folks like me who saw the first in theaters, this is such a fun movie to watch.
The Dragon Prince (2018)
A Gem of Its Own
I honestly didn't know it was created by the makers of Last Airbender until I finished the first season (though I recognized Sokka's voice actor and the book one intro should've been a clue) and I don't care to compare it to AtLA. Its an amazing show on its own! Diverse characters, character development, intrigue, humor, heart warming moments, and 8 even teared up. Is it perfect? No but it doesn't have to be. This is my new favorite show, as I'm sure it is for a lot of people. Really excited to see season 2!
