Part 5/9:
- "Poor Unfortunate Souls": Adjustments have also been made here, with Disney aiming to prevent lines that might suggest manipulation or exploitation, especially in the context of the villain Ursula’s character. Critics see this as a hypersensitive overcorrection that strips the song of its devilish charm and intended message.
Visual and Aesthetic Criticisms
Beyond lyrics, fans have expressed disdain over the CGI quality of the film. Many argue that the visual effects look cheaply executed, especially given the hefty $200+ million budget. This perceived lack of polish has contributed to the negative reception, with audiences feeling the film is a soulless remake that prioritizes political messaging over craftsmanship and storytelling.
