I'm 100% sure it'll be just another pastiche cash-grab like every other live-action remake Disney has done lately, but kudos for at least doing something and sticking the middle finger to the MAGA crowd. Now make the Frozen lady gay

She can't be a real lesbian if they don't put a post-punk new wave version of Let It Go in the sequel. |

Disney: Let's make a load of money by doing something out of which we've already made a load of money before.
And then do it again.
And again.
And again.

Curious to see what they will do with Ariel’s look, considering Disney was terrified of exposing children to Naomi Scott’s midriff in Aladdin.

this is a double-edged sword because more representation is great and good for Bailey for locking down that check, but god i wish it didn't have to come with the sour taste of live-action cash-grab fatigue. like it's genuinely difficult to be excited or care because this trend of pumping out these cynically meta & quasi-woke moneygrubbing remakes that serve to simultaneously exploit and denigrate their own canon has grown so stale and actually rather gross (like the whole Gay LeFou debacle two years ago) that I'm just fucking over it at this point.
At least they're pissing off the right people. Disney has made it clear that they don't need the MAGA crowd and it's always nice to see those martyr-complex snowflakes in a tizzy, but it's virtue signaling at best. Disney knows there's a market with vastly more progressive milennials and they care more about the moneymaking potential with that market (and international markets) than the uneducated 45+ hick demographic. It's just business.
Good for Bailey anyways. I hope it's a lot of money.

I mean it’s probaby a few hundred grand so to most people it’s a lot, but not relative to the industry. |

Couldn't they just hire Jean Sorel and use Benjamin Button special effects? Disney has never said that he was their prototype for Prince Eric, but...  |

Just wanted to add...... Stranger Things S3 breakout Maya Hawke was this close to being a global star five years ago, and she probably would've been a lovely Ariel.....
"Maya Hawke was Sofia Coppola's choice to play the title role of The Little Mermaid in Universal Pictures's planned live-action adaptation. However, the producers preferred the better-known Chloë Grace Moretz. This and other conflicts ultimately led to Coppola exiting the project."

Here she is under Coppola's direction for Calvin Klein: |

Maya's great in Stranger Things but I just don't see her as Ariel.Halle's got those big old Disney eyes,she's a much better pick imo. |

There was something very off about her performance there... |

I thought she was serviceable,she definitely didn't blow me away.Emily Watson and the guy who played Laurie,Jonah Hauer- King ,were the two standouts for me. |

I hate how she overperforms that song like the National Anthem, but I’m choosing to stay hopeful. I mean, it basically gave us nothing to go off of, except look pretty.

Live-action Disney keeps burning me and I'm worried how they might try to girlboss-ify Ariel to "fix" (  ) the original story but I still can't help it, I'm kind of excited for this. Little Mermaid has some of the best music in Disney's whole cannon. |

You can barely see a damn thing for the entire trailer. “Because that’s what the ocean looks like, Mike. We’re striving for realism.” But yeah, I noticed the same exact thing. It’s a musical with mermaids and talking fish. I think you can distort reality just a little bit and brighten the damn ocean. |

I've seen people try to make that case and it's just insane to me. We have so many beautifully shot ocean documentaries, James Cameron is gonna make the goddamn ocean pop in 3D, and the original is so beautifully colored! |
