I Am Going To Mouse My Shot: Hamilton Flick Comes to Disney+ on July 3

Posted on by

By Daniel Dern: “‘Hamilton’ Coming To Disney+ On July 3, Bypassing 2021 Theatrical Release” – NPR spreads the news —

Cue the Hamilton quotes: Soon the room where it happens will be your living room! Shout it to the rooftops that the Broadway sensation Hamilton will be available for home viewing this summer! Look around, look around to see how lucky we are to be alive in a world where Hamilton is coming to Disney+ on July 3, more than 15 months ahead of schedule!

What will be the effects when Hamilton joins the Disneyverse?

1, Does this mean Alex H has a chance to be a Jedi, and use the force to avoid being shot to death?

2, Will Hawkeye miss his shot?

3, Will the Avengers, or at least Spider-Man, get involved in the Rev War? Will Tony Stark pal around with Ben Franklin?

4, Will Paul Revere ride on Dumbo instead of his horse?

5, Will the Schuyler sisters get Frozen freeze-powers?

Is this enough to justify signing up for Disney+?

Good question — but realistically, either the free trial or a month’s worth should do it. It’s not like Hamilton is going to be a 12-episode season…unless they do the Hamilton/Star Wars/Avengers Crossover, where Luke gets to sing about not missing his shot, etc. Or Force Ghosts doing “What’d I Miss?”

Or Darth Vr doing a rousing “You’ll Be Back.”

(Dern shifts to his web browser briefly…)

Hmmm, having just written the above, I web-searched (I use DuckDuckGo) on “Hamilton Star Wars Parody” and, no surprise, the Internet has been on top of this for several years, e.g. “The Hamilton/Star Wars Parody You Knew Was Coming is Here (Sept 2018)” at Making Star Wars and “Happy ‘Star Wars’ Day! Watch this amazing ‘Hamilton’ parody about a galaxy far, far away” at the Washington Post includes a video with Lin-Manuel Miranda and J.J. Abrams live doing Miranda’s “Jabba” Cantina song:

“Luke the Son of Anakin,” whose lyrics were written by comedian Nick Jack Pappas, tells the Skywalker saga to a tune from the smash musical about the ten-dollar founding father. It parodies the show’s opening number with a spoiler-heavy summary of Luke’s journey from space farm boy to Jedi knight and finally to lost recluse in the latest installment of the series.

  3. And here’s a few more Hamilton parodies (I’m trying to not include videos where the Hamilton lyrics haven’t themselves been changed):

    School’ll Be Back (not a movie/media parody, but worth including)

    Dumbledore On Your Side

    Hamilton Sci-Fi Music Parodies (my Sept 2018 scroll, which I’d forgotten about, had some of the ones already listed in this scroll, including LUKE THE SON OF ANAKIN and MY SPOCK)

    And a few from the HamiltonParodies Hamilton-parody-aggregating site:

    Batman themed!
    Batlexander Manilton

    Bio-shout-outing W. Al Y.
    Alfred Matthew Yankovic

    Are there any A/H parodies referencing File770?

  4. On that Batman themed parody — do they work the angle that Neil Hamilton played Commissioner Gordon in the Sixties TV show?

  5. Nah. In fact, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. (Actually, I didn’t pay careful enough attention yet. But I doubt it.)
