It’s about herself, her purpose, her freedom, her life and what she wants.” Halle Bailey, who is taking over the role of Ariel from Benson, also revealed in April that the film “definitely changed its perspective of just her wanting to leave the ocean for a boy. “We have some revisions in ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ regarding lines that might make young girls somehow feel that they shouldn’t speak out of turn, even though Ursula is clearly manipulating Ariel to give up her voice.” ![]() “There are some lyric changes in ‘Kiss the Girl’ because people have gotten very sensitive about the idea that would, in any way, force himself on ,” Menken said. ![]() So the adjustments and the fine-tuning that they needed to do, it was a must, but it was done in a beautiful way, and I’m very, very thrilled with it.”Īlan Menken, who wrote the music for the 1989 animated movie and returned to work on new songs for the 2023 live-action remake, told Vanity Fair in April that updates were needed on some of the existing songs’ lyrics.
