I saw it too, possible spoiler, Friend Like Me

I didn't love it, but I liked it better than recent Disney offerings like Mermaid. I thought the medley of other 90s Disney songs that was inserted into Friend Like Me, seemed really cheap and inauthentic. I know it's minor, but it bothered me a lot. Also the tempo of A Whole New World seemed way quicker than I remembered it. I also wasn't crazy about the many times they broke the fourth wall and the fact that there seemed to be this recurring mildly homophobic gag in which every time two men touched someone said something like "let's stop before this gets weird." It's at times incredibly visually stunning, but other times really cheap looking.
