^ I agree on several points. Particularly about the stuff with Triton and Ursula being siblings as well as Ariel's mother being killed by humans not adding or detracting thankfully, I was worried they would do the latter. I don't like any of the new songs, tbh. Scuttle's is godawful, but it makes me laugh simply because Awkwafina. Loved Grimsby, too. I thought all the actors were sort of this area of "good, with occasional great moments" so the whole film ended up staying within the good range. I think there's only a part at the beginning that dips into "bad" for me (the first scene with Triton, the sisters, and Sebastian being introduced).
I thought the movie was with Aladdin, B&TB, and TJB as the best of these remakes. TLK would a little behind those, then (UO, oh well) Pinocchio and Maleficent in last. Those are the remakes I've bought / would buy (in Pinocchio's and TLM's case, since the Blu-ray release is still a ways away for TLM and who knows when it'll happen or IF for Pinocchio).
