When America sings for you… sing back “Part of Your World.”<\/p>\n
Lin-Manuel Miranda must be living in his own personal dream world, because the avid Disney fan-turned-Broadway-star is set to pen the songs for upcoming live-action The Little Mermaid<\/em> film.<\/p>\n What does this mean? Entertainment industry geniuses are concocting a spell on audiences everywhere that cannot be matched by any Ursula potion.<\/p>\n Alan Menken, who wrote the music for the 1989 The Little Mermaid<\/em> film – including hits like “Under the Sea,” “Part of Your World,” and “Kiss the Girl” – is teaming up with Miranda in producing music that we know will make a big splash in theater and film communities alike.<\/p>\n Miranda is also set to produce the film alongside Marc Platt. It’s clear… Lin-Manuel Miranda is not throwing away his shot! (Hardy har har.)<\/p>\n This film is not to be confused with Working Title’s The Little Mermaid<\/em> reboot starring Chloe Grace Moretz. Competing The Little Mermaid<\/em> film’s on the market? As they say, “No big deal. I want more…”<\/p>\n This also isn’t the only Disney film that Hamilton<\/em> star Miranda is making magic with. He recently penned the songs to Disney’s Moana<\/em> starring Dwayne Johnson, and is also set to co-star opposite Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns<\/em>.<\/p>\n So, are live-action reboots taking over? It certainly seems like it, with the recently released Jungle Book<\/em>, and with Beauty and the Beast<\/em> and the 101 Dalmatians<\/em> origin pic Cruella<\/em> hitting the silver screen in the near future. How lucky we are to be alive right now…<\/p>\n But what do you\u00a0think? Are you excited for this version of The Little Mermaid<\/em>?
