Lin is pretty infamous for loving The Little Mermaid so Dos Oruguitas incorporating Under the Sea isn't exactly a surprise. Nor is his kid being named Sebastian as he's mentioned in plenty of interviews that he intentionally named his kid after Sebastian. Lin is also taking part in the score for the live action Little Mermaid and has said most of the songs are going to stay in the film, but they're just going to add a couple more songs. They're not touching up or changing any of the old ones either. With Lin, who is essentially a Little Mermaid super fan, at the helm of the score for the live action, I'm not worried about the music, but it's the script I'm worried about.

[@Emma.Lou1]

Yeah, I'm not so concerned with the music, but the storyline makes me hesitant.

[@therealopaartist]

Imagine the kid being like “my dad loves musicals and he named me after a singing crab”

[@JayAlastor]

I cant tell if the vid is dissing or supporting lin... Cause Hurricane mentioning a lot in the movie is a motif (MANY MOTIFS in HAMILTON!) and etc too lazy to think its like 1am rn. but yeah you know what i mean

Omg the hurricane thing is something I’ve always noticed from ever since I saw the film and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone mention it 💀

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I mean hurricanes are kinda part of life in the tropics

[@SansDream6810]

When you live in a hurricane region, they're a big part of life, they happen for a whole season, you track time by the big ones...eg Fabian knocked out the bridge to the airport, Emily was the bug hurricane the year I was born and the biggest one we'd ever had for a long long time. The first hurricane I remember was Felix and for my kid it's Humberto.

[@ashlinday4469]

In addition to what others said… Hamilton’s town was actually hit by a hurricane which is why it was in Hamilton

[@Soura3121]

I mean he was literally in a hurricane? does nobody realize that's why he always talked about hurricanes in Hamilton

[@erikaclark3870]

Lin is Puerto Rican. Hurricanes feature in our Arawak culture and are a part of life on the Island. (the word Hurricane literally comes from one of the Taíno gods' names, Juracán/Orkan, and the swirly weather symbol for hurricanes comes from the symbol of the goddess Guabancex) Makes sense he would call back to his roots.

[@CerealSundaeCantDraw]

[@RayDoesSomeShitWithHerLife]

[@chillinvillain7800]

Both Moana (her song “How Far I’ll Go”) and Encanto (Bruno says the rats are “never satisfied”) mention not being satisfied, both films he worked on

[@miyannapittman5580]

Actually, that's a fairly common musical theatre trope. Les Miserables is famous for this, but also shows like West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, and lesser known shows like Newsies, Anastasia, and Frozen. Lin Manuel Miranda is just taking a classic formula and applying it (which, in fairness, he does do A LOT), but he's using a tried-and-true method that's been around for decades. As an ex-theatre kid he's been pretty open about how much inspiration he takes from other shows and composers, and this is no exception.

[@kklw2215]

And fundact: doing this kind of style in a music piece is called a MADRIGAL 😂

[@What_if_thats_0llie]

Dude I LOVE lin’s music they also have a musical called “in the heights” and they use the same song from Hamilton called “you’ll be back” as a ringtone ✨

[@Daphne_SnOoPy]

Dudee, that little mermaid reference is the first thing I thought about when I heard the song, but I couldn't find anyone on the internet who could prove me right lmaoo

[@IAmNotSnowcat]

Yeah same. I always thought I was the only one who noticed for some reason though-

[@Stephanie-od1xc]

Probably because he wrote them

[@Mckenzie-f5x]

But Hamilton forgets his plan without the government assumes street debts

[@jessicamurphy5553]

[@rocko.ambition4342]

Lin-Manuel addressed the Under The Sea usage in Dos Oruguitas as an homage. The Little Mermaid is one of the first movies he remembers watching in theaters and instantly falling in love.

[@Alxy647]

And “Waiting On A Miracle”’s instrumental is just “Burn” (from Hamilton) but shifted a bit

[@millaaaaa]

interesting i kinda thought it was similar to breath from in the heights

[@ildottoreswife]

In waiting on a miracle you can even hear similar notes to the beginning of burn from hamilton somewhere in the song

[@dearqueen6795]

[@spicygrassroots]

54 reasons i love hamiliton 1.its good Choreography 2.its history 3.Its good music Hamilton Wrote the other 51

[@Catttails.-.]

Just like how writers have their own tone (ex: comparing 2 Shakespeare works to lord of the flies, you can see similarities is the Shakespearean works), composers also have a tone. They have a certain technique to writing music, such as the rhythms, rhyme schemes, speed, instrumentals, and overall sound of the entire soundtrack.

[@_Star.Dragon_]

Line kid is actually names after Sebastian bc it’s Lin’s favourite Disney character

[@infjelphabasupporter8416]

The Scuttlebut is such an underrated Lil Manuel Miranda masterpiece. The moment Scuttle started screaming I was like "yep, this was written by the guy who made Hamilton".

[@hart4671]

Also in the last song when admirable sings “stars don’t shine they burn” is incredibly similar in timing, notes and it has the same word as Burn from Hamilton where Eliza sings “I hope that you burn.”

[@killus6182]

And the vocals overlapping at the end of We Don’t Talk About Bruno instantly made me think of Non-Stop when I heard it lol

[@Mckenzie-f5x]

I thought I was the only one!!

[@annamoates5677]

The Hamilton live action and encanto are both from Disney, and Disney does hide Easter eggs in the movies sometimes so it's actually pretty nice

[@taderiade]

Okay why is that remix kind of fire

[@Bellaboo1983]

And guess who is his favorite character in the little mermaid....SEBASTIAN

[@sunnybunny9003]

No way, an artist with a particular style makes similar sounding songs 😱 it's almost like.. That's his style

[@prophetofthepen]

Lin is Puerto Rican and hurricanes hit the island quite a lot, so it makes sense if it also affected his music 👉🏻

[@Layla-y1x9w]

This blows my MIND! 🤯

[@Adam-gn8gm]

It's genius because not only does it publicise the film tanks to people like you talking about it on large platforms but it also subconsciously makes u like the song because they remind u of other familiar songs it also helps him give off the "Disney vibes"

[@kimbrulee_the_musical]

“EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICAS FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMAN!!” “MiRaBeL!”

You can also tell in the rap style i think its really similar to in the heights and Moana And every intro song he introduces the characters and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE its a great setup for the story in all honesty

Let’s not forgot that in the recent little mermaid, Daveed Diggs( Layfette and Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton) sung Under the Sea as Sebastian

[@sparklestheraccoon3397]

Okay but I kinda like it, it’s like Easter eggs in his work referencing his other work

[@ithamarlowe6158]

It’s his vibe he cannot change his tune

[@jessicarae199440]

You can usually hear similar nuances and beats ,and instruments in compossers and lyricists work. I pick apart Stephen Schwartz soundtacks, sonheim, andrew loyd webber, tim Rice, allen menken,etc. stuff all the time.

[@cacao_0000]

WHAT ABOUT THE MIRACLE THING. "The fact that you're alive right now is a miracle" AND "Waiting on a miracle" ITS THE SAME TUNE.

[@Jane_Edits69]

Bruh they are similar because they are written by the same guy Lin has a distinct style of music that is easily recognisable This video should just be titled “Look all these songs written by the same person sound the similar!”

[@emeseviragh9293]

When I watched encanto, the music had lin Manuel miranda written all over it. I am not very trained in music, so I couldn't tell why, I'm so glad to know more about it now

[@QuikVidGuy]

I mean, one explanation is that it's a fast song with a triplet rhythm, the next being just... 3 mentions of a common imagery device, and another is that he worked in a little easter egg of his favorite movie. I don't see how this is "all his songs kinda sound the same," it's just... writing

[@neonpancake4720]

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WHO NOTICES

[@TornadoToren]

hurricane is only there because when Hamilton was around 15 he wrote a letter so in depth about a hurricane that they sent him to New York for education, the song represents the hurricane he experienced and him writing about it

[@yoyoyoyo-lq4jb]

The first one is literally just fast triplets lol.
