- 1:47Speaker 3: twenty twenty three or is that a vintage Vanessa?
- 1:49Speaker 2: No, this is Vanessa from twenty twenty three. Wow.
- 1:51Speaker 3: I'm so shook that they made a Vanessa doll too,
- 1:53Speaker 3: because like, she's such a small part of the movie.
- 1:56Speaker 3: They like kind of, but she's an iconic part, which
- 1:58Speaker 3: we'll get to. Yes, are Rose and I have big, big, big,
- 2:03Speaker 3: like lots of thoughts about this, Like I feel like.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Can I guess?
- 2:07Speaker 1: I can I guess?
- 2:08Speaker 2: Can I guess what you thought about it? Yeah?
- 2:11Speaker 3: I would love that.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Okay, So I loved it. So I'm assuming you didn't
- 2:15Speaker 1: you loved it. I loved it, Okay.
- 2:18Speaker 3: I loved my experience of watching the movie. I would
- 2:22Speaker 3: absolutely watch it again. I did not think it was
- 2:28Speaker 3: an amazing movie. But I thought that Hallie say that
- 2:31Speaker 3: to Halle's face as I was about to say.
- 2:33Speaker 2: That, Wait, we need we're gonna spread. What do you
- 2:39Speaker 2: think of my movie?
- 2:40Speaker 3: Fand Roses holding up the Bailey, Barbie and it's actually
- 2:44Speaker 3: one of the funniest inside of.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So I was gonna say it again, say it again
- 2:50Speaker 2: to her face, So say it to her.
- 2:53Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I did not think, Oh, wow,
- 2:55Speaker 3: her mole is present. I love that.
- 2:57Speaker 2: And look she has she has edges too.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Wow, she looks so good. I was gonna say, I
- 3:03Speaker 3: did not think it was an amazing movie, like on
- 3:06Speaker 3: the kind of construct and like creative directorial level. But
- 3:11Speaker 3: I thought that Halle Bailey was amazing, and I will
- 3:14Speaker 3: watch that movie over. I will watch that movie again
- 3:19Speaker 3: just for Halle Bailey. Like to me, very extreme statement incoming.
- 3:24Speaker 3: I feel personally that Halle Bailey has given us the
- 3:28Speaker 3: greatest contribution to the Disney Princess cinematic universe since Lea
- 3:33Speaker 3: Slanga gave us Mulan like. I adored her and her performance,
- 3:41Speaker 3: and it was untouchable to me as far as all
- 3:45Speaker 3: other as far as Rose is still playing with the doll.
- 3:48Speaker 2: As far I've been playing with in the.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Grand scheme of Disney reboots, of which I have seen
- 3:54Speaker 3: almost all of them, I think I haven't seen Dumbo
- 3:57Speaker 3: or jungle Book. I actually heard jungle Book was pret good.
- 4:00Speaker 3: But I've seen all the other ones, and I felt
- 4:04Speaker 3: like this was far and beyond way better than the
- 4:07Speaker 3: other reboots. I know that's a very low bar, but
- 4:11Speaker 3: that's what I'll say. Okay, I think it's a good
- 4:14Speaker 3: place to start. I feel like we both really liked
- 4:16Speaker 3: our experience.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, so I loved it. I I gave
- 4:24Speaker 1: it when on my letterboxed review, I gave it a
- 4:26Speaker 1: four point five out of five.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I Hallie was incredible.
- 4:33Speaker 2: She had.
- 4:35Speaker 1: She brought such such a lovely softness to the role.
- 4:41Speaker 1: She was so innocent and effervescent, and she really was
- 4:46Speaker 1: a Disney princess exactly. She was so expressive the part
- 4:51Speaker 1: of the movie where she couldn't talk, like her feelings
- 4:53Speaker 1: were still all on her face.
- 4:57Speaker 2: She was beautiful.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Her voice was incredible, bowl.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And I loved the movie.
- 5:04Speaker 1: There was enough different about it that while I was
- 5:07Speaker 1: watching it, I found myself thinking, Oh, Like I found
- 5:11Speaker 1: myself not like wondering what was going to happen next,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and like, obviously I know what's going to happen next
- 5:16Speaker 1: because it's the Little Mermaid, but I was still it
- 5:19Speaker 1: took me along for the ride. I was still like
- 5:21Speaker 1: fully immersed in the narrative and like everything was still
- 5:24Speaker 1: like surprising and funny.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I thought it was beautiful.
- 5:29Speaker 1: You know some of the cgi stuff, like was a
- 5:33Speaker 1: little entranning Valley, you mean her.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Fall face of makeup, her fall like Pat McGrath beat Underwater. Yeah,
- 5:41Speaker 3: but you know that's just like magic, magic Disney movie.
- 5:43Speaker 3: I was about Mermaid's like I could not spend I
- 5:46Speaker 3: was not distracted. I honestly didn't even I wasn't even
- 5:48Speaker 3: thinking about it until someone brought it up to me
- 5:50Speaker 3: after I had seen the movie.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I thought her her tail was beautiful. I thought like
- 5:56Speaker 1: all of the sea creatures were really well articulated, even
- 5:59Speaker 1: like you, I know, Sebastian Flounder, which there was obviously
- 6:02Speaker 1: so much conversation around in the lead up to the movie,
- 6:05Speaker 1: like yes, the first time you see them, they're a
- 6:08Speaker 1: little startling. But that feeling for me passed very quickly
- 6:13Speaker 1: and I was fully immersed in the movie. I loved
- 6:16Speaker 1: the music, you know, the new linn Manuel Miranda songs
- 6:20Speaker 1: like I don't love him as a songwriter, but Halle's
- 6:25Speaker 1: like I just Got Legs song was fun and catchy.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Prince Eric's song was so good. Also, Prince Prince Eric.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I need him biblically. I am in love with him,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and I thought he and Hallie had incredible chemistry. I
- 6:44Speaker 1: thought there scenes of them, like running around the island
- 6:50Speaker 1: were so effective and so fun. I loved the sort
- 6:54Speaker 1: of fan servicing moments like when Jody Benson gave.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Her the fork.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Was Jody Benson?
- 7:01Speaker 2: Jody bensid so amazing?
- 7:03Speaker 1: Okay, I sobbed through so much of the movie.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I cried. I cried so much.
- 7:11Speaker 3: What was your biggest crime moment?
- 7:12Speaker 1: I think it was probably.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Oh.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I mean, the one that sticks out to me the
- 7:19Speaker 1: most was during the shipwreck when Ariel saves Max the
- 7:24Speaker 1: dog and helps him get to the boat.
- 7:27Speaker 3: That to me, I was I was gad, that was
- 7:32Speaker 3: really that was really beautiful. I I definitely cried during
- 7:37Speaker 3: a lot of Halle Bailey songs just because her her
- 7:41Speaker 3: voice is so emotional and perfect. I want to respond
- 7:45Speaker 3: to a few different things you said, So Okay, I'm
- 7:48Speaker 3: gonna make.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Sure I'm gonna help you respond to her, to her,
- 7:52Speaker 1: to her and you.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Know what, and to Vanessa.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Vanessa. We'll get to you, Vanessa.
