The Little Mermaid is one of the most hyped Disney movies in a long time. Fans all over the world can’t wait to see the live-action adaptation of the 1989 classic Disney movie.
The Little Mermaid tells the story of Ariel (Halle Bailey), a mermaid who wants to be where the people are. After saving Prince Eric, Ariel falls in love and tries to do everything she can to become a human and ditch the whole mermaid thing, but her dad, King Triton (Javier Bardem), is not having it.
There’s no doubt the classic is one the most popular Disney movies of all time, so it will be really interesting to see how fans react. I’m sure everyone will be cool, keep level heads, and not fly off the handle because their favorite movie from childhood or whatever was changed a little bit.
I actually don’t care how fans react. I’m just excited to see this movie. It looks like it has the potential to be one of the best live-action Disney movies so far. I haven’t been a fan of the last few, so fingers crossed.
