Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Animated Movie Musicals. This video essay breaks down Happy Day In Hell from Season 1 of Hazbin Hotel, and why it fails as a musical theatre opening number/I Want song from a songwriting perspective. This video also provides a comparison between Hazbin Hotel, Wish, which is often brought up as better than Hazbin Hotel, or that Hazbin Hotel is doing the animated movie musical better than Disney - and other animated movie musicals such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame from the Disney Renaissance.

Princess Problems from the new live-action Snow White is now my most hated Disney song - shallow, vapid, and bordering on cruel, Disney will pat themselves on the back for making a Princess who doesnt dream of true love and wont be saved by the man, but in the same movie, create a male love interest who takes huge steps backwards compared to the 1930s animated prince. This Video Essay will break down the problems with Jonathans characterization from multiple angles (promise/progress/payoff, likeability/competence/initiative) and explain the problem with Disneys Leading Men beyond just this movie.
00:00 - Princess Problems butchers Snow Whites Empowerment
00:51 - Why Songwriting Fundamentals Are WASTED Here (Composition & Instrumentation)
04:21 - How Jonathan Wastes Our Time (Storytelling/Lyric Issues)
09:00 - Why Jonathan Is So Easy To Hate (Storytelling/Lyric Issues)
12:13 - Snow White Wont Be Saved By The Prince But Her Abuse Will Be Minimized By This Chronic Mansplainer
15:05 - How Id Fix Princess Problems Against My Will (Premise Rewrite)
17:15 - Every Character NEEDS To Have THIS (Premise Rewrite)
22:40 - Disney Is Sending Harmful Messages To Young Boys

I had to use the Modern Gurlz review for footage because looking for any footage of Jonathan was like trying to get a photo of big foot. There is no official material for this man or Princess Problems yet.
