Disney’s next high-profile live-action remake of one of its classic animated movies is The Little Mermaid. And it’s among the most challenging to do as the original 1989 film is such a classic, with its critical and commercial success single-handled reawakening the House of Mouse’s slumbering animation department and ushering in the famed Disney Renaissance of the 1990s. It’s likely Disney wouldn’t be in the rude health it is today without Ariel and her friends.
In fact, it turns out songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda’s love for the source material, combined with the pressure of perfecting perfection, resulted in him being unable to pen any new songs for his favorite character. While speaking to Collider about his directorial debut, Netflix’s tick, tick… BOOM!, and his work on Disney’s Encanto, Miranda also touched on Mermaid and revealed that he point-blank refused to create additional songs for Sebastian the Crab.
