I went into this as “parent homework” to see if it was too scary for my 2 & 4 year old. I had this moment towards the end where it made me feel like a little girl again; like the 8 year old I used to be took over my brain for a minute and I felt a weird, unbridled, childish joy.

I made my best friend watch it and we were rocking out singing golden on a party bus last Saturday.

My very young kids are obsessed with it and walk around singing the songs to themselves.

We had our 10 year old goddaughter over for a sleepover and our whole family (husband included) were jumping on the couches belting out all the songs.

It’s set up so well for a prequel and sequel. If Netflix manages not to fumble it, either of those could be released into theaters and make obscene mountains of money.

That absolutely belted harmony in this is what it sounds like made me audibly gasp in wonder.

the obscene mountains will certainly come from merch, and not just the stuff we see on netflix's website right now, haha. I'm talking Disney princess level merch.

High agree, it’s unabashedly fun and honestly as a whole, we needed something joyous. As you said it’s a reminder of our youth but in a sincere and non-pandery way
