    I thought it might have some promise when they said “don that gay apparel” but it went realllll downhill from there

    The score will move you to tears. They hit you with an absolutely perfect opening number. Astounding soundtrack + visuals just 👏🏻 keep 👏🏻 coming 👏🏻

    The themes are dark, yes, but ***expertly handled*** Very clever adaptation of the (even darker) source material, for the sake of children's entertainment & moral lesson-teaching. Expose kids to nuance early & often! Explain difficult things to them!

    Disney's greatest of all time 🐐 a must-watch at any age 👑

    Also, Esmeralda should be given way more cred as a top-tier "princess"
