It is getting harder and harder to look at some of these older movies without modern sensibilities and ethics seeping in. This one was... Beautiful singing, some great songs that have lingered in pop culture consciousness since this films inception but the messages, the ideas in this were really hard to swallow in 2023. Girl falls in love with someone at first sight and literally has to change herself in order to be suitable for him, gives up her voice to make him like her... Everything about this movie from a 'message' standpoint is so cringe that it's actually a little on the uncomfortable side from time to time.
Honestly, after I finished watching it this time, I wished I hadn't. I wish I had just let it linger in my memory, the happy tale of Caribbean Crabs singing about life under the sea, a colorful tale of love and self-discovery. The reality that was refreshed for me was far more disappointing.
