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 Stayed Gone from Season 1 of Hazbin Hotel, and where it fails as a musical theatre 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.
