At least Miranda wrote "Shiny" which is the best of the recent Disney Villain songs..

Some of the reviewers made the great point that Moana 2 falls flat compared to the first one partly because Lin-Manuel Miranda wasn't on the songwriting team. (Your Welcome was excellent too)

I haven't seen this Lion King movie but that's a rare failure for him if "Bye Bye" isn't very good.

His new song in Live Action little mermaid was meh. I don't think it's as bad as the internet makes it out to be but 'The Scuttlebutt' definitely feels out of place.

Given context, Scuttle is supposed to be an annoying character and Awkwafina does annoying lol. Still though, as one of a couple of new songs it sticks out in a bad way.
