Why the Music in the Live Action Disney Remakes is Worse than you Thought

From Sideways.

First off, huge apologies to Adam from YMS, I completely forgot that he was the one who first noticed Simba getting pitch-corrected to the wrong note, here’s the tweet (it’s an absolutely hilarious thread, go check it out)

I was watching him stream himself editing his Lion King video while I was working on my own and I remember thinking it was a good thought and over time I completely forgot that it was him noticing it. This is totally me to blame for not being better at managing my citations.
Again, really sorry to Adam from YMS, please go and check out his Lion Kind video, it’s AMAZING:

Howard Ashman’s website is an absolutely FANTASTIC resource for anyone interested in looking into more of his life and work (and it’s where I got the picture of him performing a production of Aladdin):
