He gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul.
Though legendary lyricist Howard Ashman died far too young, his impact on Broadway, movies, and the culture at large were incalculable. Told entirely through rare archival footage and interviews with Ashman’s family, friends, associates, and longtime partner Bill Lauch, Howard is an intimate tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent and a rousing celebration of musical storytelling itself.

A great documentary about the life and work of Howard Ashman. Very well documented and with a well-constructed narrative... It would have been better if it weren't a slide of photos and videos. Seeing the people talking might have helped with the delivery of the documentary.
Was going to watch this because of Disney’s asinine plan to take it down, and decided to watch it anyway once they reversed course. It’s a sensitive doc made with love for an esteemed and influential artist. You can feel how much they all cared for him, and you feel for his journey, his heart, his sensitivity. It’s nice how much this didn’t steer away from his gayness and AIDS, and makes Disney’s attempt to remove it all the more galling.
