Are you referring to this one?

Anyone in Australia purchased The Movie Novel? Most websites in Australia are showing the Movie Novel cover but selling the Novelization. Misleading and annoying! Does it even exist?

The sassy, protracted "yes" was cringe-worthy, but her dialogue in the TV spot was OK. Nothing particularly eye roll-inducing.

I guess I didn't like that she referred to the fork as "these babies".

Yeah, that part was a bit modern, but I'm fine with it as long as the dialogue doesn't get worse than that.

I mean he does that in the original too, but I guess it's more the way she says it, I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting.

I think you may just not like Awkwafina's schtick in general.

I hope it's ok if I say yay Divinity I'm glad you like a lot about McCarthy's Ursula! I do, too, and that nautilus shell is perfect like you said, and I also like the molten trident effect like you!

I like Awkwafina, and I think that Scuttle's design is awesome, at least compared to Flounder and Sebastian. I also saw an ad on Instagram a few days ago, with Ariel holding Flounder by the fins, saying something like "I'm Flounder, king of the something" :lol: :lol: I really can' t remember what she said exactly, but I do remember Flounder smiling and not looking bad at all.

McCarthy looks very pretty, she looks almost hypnotic at times between the more pink-ish skin at times, the glittering blue-purple suckers and specks on the outer skin. I think that suits the character since she is trying to control /manipulate Ariel's thought process. :)

‘The Little Mermaid’: Inside Rob Marshall’s Private Screening With Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
https://variety.com/2023/film/news/the- ... 235601354/

Weirdly, the article doesn't really go into details about the reactions of this screening, aside from some non-specific comments about the musical numbers getting applause, and all we really get is more of Bailey doing promotional stuff.

Is it weird that I reeeeeally want to know what Matt Damon thought about The Little Mermaid?

Did they announce anything about a deluxe edition? It'll be extremely disappointing if they don't release something like that with the complete score. That's pretty much the only thing I'm looking forward to.

In addition, who's doing the end credit songs?

Exactly, because there may be a Deluxe Edition that doesn’t necessarily mean those songs won’t be in the movie, and or at the very least they could be on deleted scenes when it comes to home media/Disney+, EH? :-)

Someone in this forum said that Halle Bailey recorded a new song for the end credits, but I wonder why it's not included in the soundtrack?

I like the fact that there is a second Part of your world reprise. Will it be during the scene where Ariel watches Eric's wedding ship depart?
