"Once On This Island," Disney film version of Broadway Musical

Uh...seems on brand?

At least it's something without an existing movie version.

Looks pretty woke. Can they merch it to death?

This will make a scary "It's a Small World" ride reboot.

So what Disney channel stars are they going to get to star in it besides Jordan Fisher as Daniel and Zendaya as Ti Moune?

I saw a regional theater production of this years ago, and I was bored out of my mind.

It was so simplistic, it felt like it was written by a college student.

Isaac Powell singing " Some Girls."

Is this a Lin Manuel joint?

Saw this production last year. Didn’t really enjoy it at all except the ending which was “tragic” in the original Hans Christian Anderson ‘Little Mermaid’ way. But still utterly ham-fisted. It’s truly disappointing what qualifies to be made into a production these days.

r8 No, it's an Ahrens/Flaherty joint. Like "Ragtime," "Anastasia," "Seussical."
