Hello, everyone. Just wanted to drop by and share my thoughts on the 2023 version of The Little Mermaid .  I must warn you, if you haven't watched this film, turn back immediately, because there will be spoilers. For starters, Halle Bailey was an excellent cast choice for the main character.  Ariel was re-imagined incredibly well, and Halle's voice when singing the memorable songs we all know and love did the role justice.  I'm sure Jodi Benson (the original voice for Ariel) would be thinking the same thing if she did watch the movie (and I'm sure she did.). Anyway, I also like how Scuttle had a focal point in the movie.  Giving this character her own song proves how much Disney seems to like the supporting characters.  But seriously, did they have to make Scuttle a female?  That's one of the changes I could have done without.  I understand Awkwafina was a female singer, but I'm sure a male with the same inflections as Buddy Hackett could have been fou...

Hello, dear readers. If you haven't been reading my blogs lately, I'd like to share this long-overdue playlist of my most recent trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando last summer. The quality of the videos is not that good, but it's the best I can do with the video camera in my phone. Also, I would like to update you on a future vacation I plan to take.  I hope to revisit Orlando and Walt Disney World this Christmas season, and I hope to film more meet-and-greets on that trip. Wish me luck.

Hey, everyone. I'm behind in posts, so I thought I'd update with this, an encounter and meeting with the Little Mermaid herself, otherwise known as Ariel. This encounter is a "Blink, And You'll Miss Her" encounter, since whenever I see her, she's always a human.  Turns out, there's an "Ariel's Grotto" attraction in the Magic Kingdom, where we can meet her in her Mermaid form. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video, dear readers, and I hope this gives you some incentive to check out my YouTube channel .  And as always, keep smiling, and keep dreaming.
