After much anticipation, Disney's magical live-action reimagining of "The Little Mermaid" is now in theaters. The remake, which stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, has been one of the year's most awaited films, particularly after unveiling its sprawling, full trailer during the 2023 Oscars. Jonah Hauer-Kinging as Prince Eric and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Awkwafina as Scuttle, Jacob Tremblay as King Triton, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Daveed Diggs as Sebastian are among the film's cast members. Although live-action Disney remakes can sometimes be hit or miss, it seems that the new "The Little Mermaid" has something to appeal to everyone (even adults who are big fans of the classic tale). The revived film breathes new life into a classic tale that today's youth is falling in love with, particularly with Bailey at the forefront.

The highly awaited, live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid has received mixed reviews ahead of its debut, with critics condemning the 'unfortunate' reconstruction and the'realistic' portrayal of animals while lauding Halle Bailey's Ariel. One brief analysis by Bloomberg dubbed the film 'waterlogged conundrum' and described the forthcoming rap album The Scuttlebutt, a track performed by Awkwafina and Daveed Diggs' Sebastian, as particularly cringe-worthy. Awkwafina, a female comedian who is never not amusing, is the subject of a squabble here. Many grown adults covered their faces to avoid looking at the screen during the screening. Both songs read like first drafts,' Bloomberg's Chris Rovzar said.

Jacob Tremblay of "The Little Mermaid" wants to leave the New Flounder Alone on the internet

www.popsugar.co.uk, May 10, 2023
Fans may have been a bit too fast to judge in Disney's latest "The Little Mermaid" by Jacob Tremblay. Following promotional photos, the internet was rocked. The live-action film did indeed include a reimagined version of Ariel's lovable sidekick, Flounder. This recreation was a far cry from the canonically plump fish that many fans already know and love. The new Flounder was mostly gray, flattened out, and highly realistic. It was less than a rotund yellow fish. However, Tremblay said at the world premiere on May 8th, he's always been a fan of the new look, and maybe you will be as well. Tremblay wrote about Flounder's controversial layout in The Hollywood Reporter, "I actually saw it for the first time in the audition." "I thought it was really cool because they're doing it to make them look like real animals." Scuttle the seagull, played by Awkwafina, and Sebastian the crab played by Daveed Diggs are among the other characters who received similar stylistic makeovers.

Why Harry Styles Turned Down Prince Eric Years Ago's Role

Imagine a world in which Prince Eric, your childhood crush, is played by your teenage crush, Harry Styles. Sadly, the dream will never come true because the Grammy Award-winning singer, who plays Halle Bailey as Ariel, won't be able to appear in the highly awaited live-action version of "The Little Mermaid." Styles had been selected to play Prince Eric in Disney's latest remake, a role played by Jonah Hauer-King. However, producer Rob Marshall later told Entertainment Weekly, per a cover story published on April 4, that there were actually hundreds of actors auditioning for the role, including Styles. Although Marshall stated that he spoke to the artist on his Disney film, Styles "actually felt like he wanted to go off and do the films that he didn't like," he said, referring to 2022's R-rated "Don't Worry Darling" and "My Policeman."

Halle Bailey, who plays Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" isn't just another box to tick off on her list of accomplishments, it's much more than that.

She's very aware of the responsibilities that go along with it. "It's about time that a Black woman plays a role like this," says a woman who is merely a member of this wonderful neighborhood. Bailey says, "we should have photographs that look like us and see ourselves in the media on big screens and everything." "I'm just grateful that we're finally embarking on such large projects."

www.popsugar.co.uk, December 21, 2022
The live-action version of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is finally here, and although the bulk of the film is unknown, we already know how it will differ from the 1989 version in several ways. Halle Bailey, the lead in the film, is another in Disney's expanding series of remakes. In a 20 December interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Rob Marshall said that the latest film will give Ariel a little more agency than the original, although he doesn't see it as a major departure. "The character goes back to Hans Christian Andersen of another century, but it looks in some ways like a very modern woman, someone who sees her life differently than others around her," he said. However, "the fire is very important" to Ariel's latest film, he said, adding, "her passion is extremely important." "She feels displaced, and it's really an epic tale about discovering your authentic self," he told. But also there needs to be a lot of joy. It's a strange combination of youth and wisdom, as well as a slew of soul and heart. "She is so modern."
