No, actually, I just explained that in a random comment, not the actual review, but I'm just pointing out that there are good butt jokes, and there are bad butt jokes (and then there are Shakira butt jokes).
Interestingly, I do wonder if they learned a lesson (perhaps not a good lesson, but a lesson) from Frozen; basically, it was a pretty crappy musical when you consider "Let It Go" is basically the only song worth a crap. Yeah, the movie is a cultural artifact at the moment, as is the song "Let It Go," but is there any other song (with the possible exception of the "Building a Snowman" song) that's even memorable? The older Disney musicals usually had the one "hit," but there were also memorable back-up songs; "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" may have won the Oscar, but was it really the stand-out over other Best Original Song nominees like "Hakuna Matata" or "The Circle of Life" or even non-nominated songs like "Be Prepared" or "I Just Can't Wait to Be King"? (Frozen's musical status also kind of petered out as the movie went on, but that totally also applies to the earlier Disney movies; they rarely featured a song in the third act, even as a closer).
I think it basically became "what's the point of writing an entire musical" when all you really need is that one song? I wonder if the "Try Everything" style Disney song doesn't become the new norm, at least for a while.
