I'm gonna have to watch this movie at some point. I don't wanna, but it has insinuated so many discussion spaces that if I want to keep up with discussions and references to it on so many other topics I'm just gonna have to. I'll probably torrent it though. I do have Disney plus, I just don't want to give them the click and contribute to its metrics.

I'm going to watch it for the first time tonight, but I was surprised to read Stephanie Beatriz voices the character pictured. I know Beatriz didn't use her natural voice on B99, but she's still not really who I mentally heard when I saw that character.

I honestly disagree -- I thought Mirabel was great in her songs

And Luisa's rougher voice added a nice texture to her song. Especially on the change where she goes from talking about pressure to the idea of having time to enjoy relaxation.

Isabella was probably the most neutral sounding of the voices. She could have had some more pep but the songs didn't suffer for her.

I thought they were okay in English, but I really loved the songs in Spanish. I have no idea if the VAs they used for the Spanish dub are professional singers or not, but the songs do sound better (to me, anyway).

[(Anonymous)]

I've done some reflecting on Isabel's voice after posting the secret and I think her solo is bad because it's set too low for her voice. You can really hear it in the line "What else can I dooo..." that the "do" isn't in comfortable range for her. The song doesn't sound dynamic enough because of this. /personal analysis over

I actually like it when voices aren't perfect, especially if it makes sense for the character. It actually kind of jars me out of a scene a little when a character who would have no access to vocal lessons or training sings like a songbird.

[(Anonymous)]

This is so weird. She sounded fine, good even. Just because she's not a soprano doesn't mean she's bad.

You're entitled to your own opinion - I absolutely loved the songs in this movie! I loved how at times it felt like watching an actual musical. Maybe the singers weren't the strongest, but they all had their own charisma and unique sound that I thought added so much to the characterization.

I don't really need everyone to be Idina Menzel. It's nice sometimes for a sweeping power ballad, but I don't think the songs in this movie demanded something like that. Also, they did have Dos Oruguitas with a trained singer - I'm assuming both fully Spanish songs were, actually.

That's why I only watched Night Mind's video on it. It's not as fun as watching everything unfold by itself, but it gives me the story without me needing to watch hours of little happening for bits and pieces. Petscop did it a little better when it comes to making videos not tedious.

I'm still glad it exists though, it's a neat story told in an interesting way.

I read the text first and was like, "Oh that's kind of mean." And then I looked at her picture and was like, "Oh... yeah. She's okay." Oop @ me and +1 for you, OP.

people think, or maybe like to imagine, that dudes are a lot more competitive and power hungry than they actually are. same with girls and being power hungry and catty. female writers tend to exaggerate the former, and male writers tend to exaggerate the latter.

it's more fictional sparks and drama that way. joe and jane the cool laid back stoners that don't give a shit generally don't make for plotful drama.

Do you really think he tries to humiliate guests? To me it always comes across as quite good natured ribbing. I imagine Graham would be thrilled that you were proud of your old fic.

She could have, somehow, ended up as Mrs Potter. Wouldn't that be a kick in the teeth.
