1, 7, and 11 for Let’s All Go to the Movies!.
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
I’m pretty sure the idea of how I wanted to write this story came to me when I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, specifically during the trailers. When the trailer for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid I just remembered being in such “Ugh, I am so sick of these lazy remakes Disney has been churning out, this’ll probably suck” but in the middle of that thought I remember hearing excited gasps from various children throughout the theater who were all just so genuinely excited for that movie. All of a sudden I began to think about just how cynical I am now compared to when I was around that age. I guess I just really wanted to capture that feeling of being in a movie theater when you’re adult vs. when you were a child
And for the record, I have seen the live action remake of The Little Mermaid and I liked it! Ariel and Eric’s relationship was the best part imo, Halle Bailey is wonderful as Ariel, I enjoyed the songs they added, Mellisa McCarthy and Awkwafina do a great job at their parts, but the underwater scenes can be awkward at times, Flounder’s role seems lesser than the animated one, the new Sebastian just didn’t do it for me, and the King Triton and Ariel relationship just isn’t even close to being as good as the original.
7: Where did the title come from?
The title comes from a Ben Schwartz quote, actually! My first exposure to Ben Schwartz was back in the day when he’d appear in CollegeHumor videos, more specifically the Jake & Amir ones. In the Jake & Amir episode Movie Date Part 1, Ben Schwartz appears as a movie theater usher Jake and Amir never met before with the ordinary name, Sulu Candles. In his entrance he sings a song which is a parody of the old movie theater song Let’s All Go to the Lobby. The song starts at 30 seconds into the video, be warned there are plenty of adult jokes in the rest of the vids
11: What do you like best about this fic?
I had a lot of fun putting in nods/references/cameos from Disney, taking shots at Disney, parodying superhero movies, making up the Black Cauldron trailer, and putting all the continuity nods from the DuckTales show, but I guess at the end of the day I’d say the Dewey and Gandra stuff is what I’m most proud of
It’s a dynamic that I wish we would’ve seen more of in the show and I think I do a decent job capturing it. I just like how this whole dynamic started in my head with “This is how he’d get on her nerves” and then eventually I found something that I think is rather sweet. I don’t know, I just love when had Gandra call Dewey “bud” near the end
The other characters are great in the story too. Love Webby, Fenton, and Gosalyn. And I wanted to give those three plenty to do and memorable moments as well
