THE LITTLE MERMAID II: RETURN TO THE SEA (2000) dir. Jim Kammerud & Brian Smith

i love how she loses the earrings to become a mermaid

[panicatyourfandoms]

listen i may not like alice ripely anymore (like seriously fuck her) but this remaster of next to normal was still needed because OH MY GOD J robert spencer’s vocals go so hard and there are little inflections in the music that weren’t there before and 🥹

[kay-elle-cee]

so today they released a remastered 15th anniversary edition of the Next To Normal cast album so I apologize for the person I'm gonna be for the next 72 hours.

[panicatyourfandoms]

no, if this is all we get from the resurgence of n2n and its rise in popularity because of the west end cast (and, they are the most phenomenal cast to ever exist for this show; i've listened to the OBC religiously for years, I've seen it at the Kennedy Center, nothing compares to Caissie, Jamie, Jack, Jack, Eleanor, & Trevor), that is a slap in the face.

why not a west end cast recording? why are we just getting a remaster? they could've easily rereleased the OBC WITH the addition of the West End cast! THE HYPE FOR NEXT TO NORMAL IS INSANE RIGHT NOW!!!

i'm so confused

why the fuck isn’t it a west end recording??? we have all these videos of them in a recording studio can you not just lay down some tracks?? what is happening???

[ohwhatsinausername]

did you really grow up in the 2000s if you don’t get weirdly defensive over really bad disney sequels bc of some intense nostalgia?

im assuming this is the “the photoshopping hardly even shows” photos and it looks so uncanny im crying

on my knees begging for a slime tutorial of next to normal at Wyndhams 🙏

2024 election: shot trump vs coughing biden

[aminta]

Hey! You! Did hearing about Trump getting nearly whacked freak you out? Are you now worried about the conservatives being even more riled for the election? Did you know that there is something you can do about that fear?

It's called VOTING!

With this one easy trick you can help keep fascism from winning!

Complacency is death. Every MAGA you know will undeniably be rushing to the voting booths come November. This should make you scared. Now, more than ever, you have to VOTE.

my favourite part of seeing next to normal with my brother was hearing him whisper "oh fuck" in a pained voice when diana brought the cake out.

second favourite part was him muttering "oh, this bastard's back" when gabe came back in act 2

[pancakehauses]

Well there goes any last shred of hope I had for a cast recording

[panicatyourfandoms]

i refuse to believe this

also using this quote was SO unfair

"day after day wishing all our cares away trying to fight the things we feel but some hurts never heal some ghosts are never gone but we go on we still go on"

the things i would do for a west end recording of n2n........

[timesomewhere]

I've had the above post in my drafts for the longest time but I've always felt like posting it might make me seem crazy but michael longhurst (n2n uk's director) just posted this

so now I feel incredibly validated

[panicatyourfandoms]

i love this

[pancakehauses]

Well this was not something I expected to see today

[panicatyourfandoms]

well, THIS is a change

[grecoromanyaoi]

why do i have to explain to grown ass adults that human rights r called human rights bc every single human is entitled to them bc they r human, n they should never b taken away no matter who they are or what they did. and that advocating for the removal of human rights, nomatter who the target of it is, is not only incredibly cruel but will eventually spiral and lead to oppression. didnt we learn that shit in like 5th grade.
