Her singing is hauntingly beautiful

One thing I can say about her, she definitely has a Disney princess voice

Legit don't give af about any live action adaptations they do to their animated movies. None of them have been good so i won't spend money on this or any others they do. I think the animations just have that magic.

I got chills when she hit that note!

Oh you've got to catch up on the 2D films! They're some of the best movies ever made. Little Mermaid's one of my favorites so I'm nervous for it, but Halle's got the perfect voice for Ariel.

Ohhhh mell would love to see you do some Disney 2d classic reactions Like beauty and the beast, Tarzan and little mermaid. Halle has such a special voice and if this goes well this will be a big launching pad for her. I think the show grownish is her only big credit

Her singing sounds so, special. It felt like I could fall asleep with sweet dreams. Which is impossible for how things are, but she’s got a great signing voice. Plus how did you not see the original Little Mermaid?!

As you said, a race change shouldn’t matter if their race isn’t integral to the story, but if they try to make Ariel being black a part of the story then it does matter and then I can see why people will get mad

Fun fact: There are talks about Jodi Benson going to be in the film as a cameo

Dude, you have to watch the animated Robin Hood by Disney since you haven't seen many of the old animated movies.. it is one of my favorites

I had a crush on Ariel when I was 11 years old in 1990! 😊

I can’t wait to watch this!! The chills I get everytime I hear Halle 🥹❤️

I can see all little black girls being inspired & excited

I don't really care about race swapping in general, but they're doing it a lot rather than coming up with new characters of color. How about some new ideas rather than changing established characters?

Is that sid from ice age? If that's the mermaid i saw surrounding my ship... I retreat.

People are mad because Ariel is just another, in a long line of red headed white characters(throughout all media) that have morphed into black characters. At least they kept her hair the same and she has a beautiful voice....(assuming that was her voice in the trailer)

This trailer hit me in a way I did not expect. The Little Mermaid was one of my favs as a kid, hearing the familiar music and seeing how gorgeous Ariel looks just warmed my heart. I'm hoping that the movie itself is good, the last few live action Disneys were not that great imo

I wonder if we'll ever see a white Shaft. If we're doing this fairly, maybe we should.

I don't think new Disney fans are going to be bothered much but I'm sure older people who grew up with Little Mermaid in their childhood will find it a bit jarring because we are accustomed to white, redhead Ariel. Not necessarily a race thing, just a long-time visual embedded in our brain for decades.

Her voice is perfect for this role. I do feel like dreads would be a pain in the a** if they were in the ocean 24/7😂 but you do you Ariel. Me and my cousins watched the original all the time as kids so I hope it’s good.

Excited to hear Halle's beautiful voice.The CGI doesn't look too good though. Hope it looks more crisp when the film drops

So excited for this to come out! Hoping this movie can break the curse of bad Disney Live Action movies we've gotten for quite awhile!!

The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite childhood movies. I think a year ago, they did a Live Action Musical/Animated Film Reaction, with Queen Latifah, Shaggy (Wasn't Me), and John Stamos. It was really cool. A lot of people were outraged because of Halle Bailey playing Ariel. I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Is it weird that, when I hear that tune play, the alternate lyrics used in Deadpool Musical 2 pop into my head?

the new live action disney remakes feel oddly hollow imo, it looks all visually stunning but almost too polished, you know what I mean? I must admit, I personally didn't like any of their recent live action films, don't really have high hopes for this. film making in general has taken a turn away from good story telling towards big empty cash grabs. I'll watch it before I hate on it though haha.

There's a reason the trailer has been ratio'd to hell.

My absolute favorite disney movie is "The black cauldron (1985)"! The first movie i´ve seen in a cinema! Nowadays you would´nt believe that Disney made such a scary movie!

I loved all the originals growing up in the 80's and 90's. The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites, I had the whole movie memorized. My friends and I would take on roles and act out the parts while watching, it was a ton of fun. I haven't been too thrilled with the live action remakes only because the originals are magical in their own right. But Disney has the money and it's an easy money maker for them. I look forward to seeing this, should be a fun adaptation, which is how we should look at these, just adaptations, like going to see a different version of Shakespeare play at the theater. I'm sure there will be things I enjoy and things not so much. Halle sounds great, look forward to her performance.

Weird the trailer on the official Disney channel has over 510k dislikes

I would love to see you watch the 2d animation then the real life version and get your opinion on which you prefer. Alladin, Pinochio, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and now with Little Mermaid.

Damn look I'm a guy, but if they botch this the way they did lion king and Mulan then I am going to go insane cuz this is actually one of my top favorites from Disney.

Of course you would like it

Looks awesome!!!!!!!!

She has the voice but unfortunately she also has the stigma of being in a live action remake and those go from bad (but you can push through it) to terrible very quick

The Little Mermaid is my favourite. It's my childhood. I hope they didn't ruined movie, like some of other movies

I wish they would make the colors more vivid. It looks so dull.

I remember seeing Halle, along with her sister, doing covers on KZfaq. Now here she is, portraying one of the most popular Disney princesses of all time. You should react to the original film before the live actions releases.

You gotta see that and Hunchback of Notre Dame, Treasure Planet, Atlantis , Beauty and the Beast etc.

Well we already saw real-underwater acting in avatar 2 teasers so any film that’s still using wet-to-dry underwater acting will look outdated and this does.

ok show of hands; who else keeps reading "Halle Berry" as the star of this?!

Like honestly people forget that Halle got the role because of her voice she didn’t get the part because she’s black it’s her voice and her voice sounds like an angel.

This shit with Disney has to stop amd stop Now!

Red heads deserve better.. they have souls .

#NOTMYARIEL NAHHHHHHH THEY WENT WOKE SH*T

Wow it's at 400 thousand dislikes now 😮 Danish are upset cause it's a Danish folktale of a redhead who you don't see much in media and they have statues of her in their country and many are not okay. Why did you say this wasn't so? Please correct you are mistaken!

I feel like the trailer relied kinda heavily on music nostalgia

The Emperor’s New Groove is a must! I highly recommend 😉

I haven't been this excited for a Disney film since I was a kid! I LOVED The Little Mermaid so freaking much, and the trailer gave me goosebumps. I never go to the cinema, but I sure as hell want to for this one. 🤩

We get it! Black people can be actors too🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Her voice is so angelic ♥️

I honestly do think her being white is integral to the story. The story of the Little Mermaid is based in Greek mythology with her father King Triton representing Poseidon. As a black individual I don't appreciate them race swapping established characters to make me feel "represented". Make new characters and if they fail do better. There are black Mermaid stories out there that they could tell written by African Americans, but they choose to blackify white people instead of uplifting us. Be careful what you defend.

she has a great voice, they should have given her an original movie rather than the race swapping. personally it does bother me, mostly because it's like saying we're only worth sloppy seconds, and it keeps being done to the red heads in particular for some reason... rip to all the red-headed girls, disney doesn't want you to have any representation lmao. but honestly, i find it kind of hypocritical to think race swapping is wrong if it's changing a poc to a white person, but allow race swapping if it's a white person being turned into a poc. making allowances for it in the rare occasions it benefits us rather than shaming it across the board because it's a disgusting practice, is only going to make problems in the future. anyway, from what i've seen of the trailers, imo she doesn't fit this role, and i won't be supporting, but i do hope to see her in other stuff someday, especially a musical.

I can’t wait to see this! 🧜🏾‍♀️💕

So far, my only real disappointment is the hair not being red enough.

I don’t care that they changed her race but her hair is just so much darker… her bright red hair was iconic and most of what I remember about her character design so that kinda just sucks imo.

Looks like a dollar store version of the little mermaid

Its gonna be a pass on watching for me. But i wasnt even a big fan of the original. But i know disney is trying too hard to try to remake/ruin old stuff rather than be original. So it'll more than likely be a barely recognizable/relatable movie compared to what it was (story wise).

She sounds so much like animated Ariel

Colin Farrell might be the next Shaft.

It was filmed near my hometown 💙

BRO man-up and watch little mermaid!

Some very good insight into race in film. I agree if it's not essential to a character it can be changed. That said, my issue is that Disney did make an effort to accurately cast Aladdin and Lion King for their respective 'homes'. So casting a black girl as the lead of a Danish fairy tale seems hypocritical, even if she is playing a mythical creature (i.e. a mermaid). I do hope this girl can nail the character (she can certainly sing) but I think she's been put into a difficult position by Disney.

they took Danish Folklore (this story is Danish folklore) and then Diversity washed it.... that makes me sick (As someone of Danish decent) you took part of my culture and culturally appropriated it!!! Disney will never get another cent of mine

The only live action remakes I've seen are Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and part of Aladdin. Also, I saw them on Disney+ not in the theaters. They were much worse than their original IMO. The original 2D movies were pretty awesome. The live action versions change too much unnecessary stuff, and in Mulan nearly everything detail was changed and nearly all for the worse. Beauty and the Beast wasn't quite as bad of an adaptation but I still like the original better. The rest I haven't watched because my sister watched them and said they all suck. At the end of the day all entertainment is subjective, but from a story and creative perspective I think the remakes are seriously lacking. It feels like Disney is just pumping out movies for nostalgia and the writers and art teams are either bad or not given enough time to make a well made adaptation.

She is beautiful and the visuals are great. So many kids and younger adults have no idea the original story is so far from the Disney version...dark and not a happy ending at all.

I can respect diversity but what I'm still not able to accept is that if Disney can do so then they can bloody RELEASE Song of the South. It's infuriating that despite steps forward they still lack the brevity to right this wrong and watching trailers like this just is an annoying reminder of what they can't/won't do.

You should watch A Quiet Place. Love your reactions.

You should react to The Babadook

Is anyone gonna talk about the elephant in the room? Why is she black, I’m so tired of these race swaps. I didn’t know blacks were the only races in the world. I hope the main actor in the next black panther film is Asian. 😎I wonder how black people would feel about that?

Love her white hair..lol

Would be the best animated movie of 2023 in my collection all different version Disney the best company they made there rights for peace for the ocean lol

Aw man you gotta watch the little mermaid first!

I love this one post I saw on Twitter how someone was going off about how they "Got Ariel's race wrong. She is WHITE" and someone commented back "I can't believe you got Ariel's race wrong... She's a MERMAID" But for real, who cares? If she can sing and act good and race isnt really a staple point of the story... who really cares? I just hope the movie is good is all.

Looks good.

Omg you should react to the Percy Jackson teaser trailer !!

you never saw the original little mermaid?!

Mariah Carrey is the one singing.

I'm on the fence just like the Aladdin and lion king Mulan i already know the story but I'll give it a chance but I feel I will wait til it's on Disney + I don't for me nostalgia isn't worth it

Hey Mell, you should check out Cobra Kai its a rlly good show

The actress seems like she'll do good, but the main reason I don't have high hopes is because The Lion King and Aladdin remakes weren't too good... As for your point, I think the reasons people watch the movie is because they expect it to be good but... Well as I said above... These remakes really shouldn't take much effort in terms of story and the fact that the two remakes I mentioned before got rid of two Villains songs which were better than any other song in those two movies I mentioned before

looks pretty good but man, so many butt hurt people out there about this casting haha

Race doesn't matter, sure sure, so lets reboot the Black Panther, to The Orange Panther starting Trump with an all White cast and change Wakanda Forever to Whiteanda Forever.

When will you post the kung fu panda movie reaction I have been waiting it for 2 months 🗿

Please react RRR (2022) avilable in netflix. The only indian movie reviewed by Screen Junkies, Screen Rant, MovieClips, WatchMojo and many more for its crazy action, comedy, drama and dance battle.

I keep hearing ppl say it's racist and imo if the roles were reversed and made let's say Belle Hispanic I don't think that's representation. As a Mexican woman it's a cheap and lazy excuse to give to woke ppl a crumb of inclusiveness. I hate race swapping with a passion and that's for any race not just white ppl. Or let's say they decided to make Mulan her Hispanic would there be an issue because it's still 'representation'. Ariel isn't about her race like someone said which is dumb to say, she's a great character in a interesting story. Disney is losing a lot of money because they have been going the woke route and only focus on that rather than creating good stories. I respect ur opinion and I won't demean u for it like others would. We're different people and no one agrees on everything and that's okay. I just wanted you to see a different detailed pov instead of just saying I don't agree. You seem very nice and I enjoy ur vids 🥰

what only 100 years... universal pictures and paramount pictures 110 years old

Beautiful voice, but I wish her hair was red

Hallie Bailey, The sister can really blow in her own Beyonce's vibes for this live actions. I was thinking if Ariana Grande can do it who's know but Hailey is the truest in for Disney's The Little Mermaid role. This live action remake explores a beautiful site of an opening world of paradise under the sea. The musical animated in 1989 by Rodger and Hamsteins had more extraordinary drawings that people can be fascinating of the beautiful scenes. Disney is straight out the gate. I can't wait to it.

Bro you gotta watch the og lil mermaid

Please react to the original! If like to watch that 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

Hailey Bailey lol

How she singing in the water?

Please watch and react to the animated Disney films

I completely agree with you on your comments about the race of a character only being important when their race is integral to them. I think that this applies to both their life experience and the context that a world has set up. In terms of life experiences I would say that Luke Cage being black, or Shaft being black, are more integral to their characters due to their experience shaping their view of justice. Much more important than say Johnny Storm, particularly the one from the Fantastic 4 remake, who's only real reason to be white is that he is Sue Storm's brother, but adoption can account for anything like that, it changes nothing about the character. As for the context of the world it all just depends on what the author has built. Like complaining that there is a black actor in the Rings of Power is different from complaining about a black actor playing someone in New York City, for example. One is about concern for the lore of the world and the other makes very little sense to complain about unless you are a purist for the source material or you are probably racist in some way. A good example of people making weird race choices that violate the context would be in Gods of Egypt where half the cast of the gods were white people. You can make the argument of their being Egyptians that were very light skinned, but then get those people to play those roles. A good example of where the context and experiences permits the swapping of races would be in the Wheel of Time show. Though a fair amount of characters don't really match their race in the book they do live on a very ethnically diverse continent where many people travel between the countries. Experience wise, people aren't really judged based on their race and are judged more on where they are from, so their experiences aren't really impacted by their races. Like an Illianer would hate someone from Tear regardless of what shade they are, and vise versa. This is excepting the Aiel and the Sea Folk, who are very ethnically similar across the board. Even then there are some exceptions. That being said I still wish the Wheel of Time would have better writing. Final note is that despite her race meaning nothing to me, I haven't liked any of these live action remakes and I probably won't like this one either.

My only concern was “WHAT ABOUT THE MUSIC!?” I am so happy the music is gonna be there. She’s a perfect Ariel

While Ariel's race is not integral to her character, it is a Danish fairy tale. There would be outrage (and rightly so) if they took an African or other non-European tale that has been told for generations and made the main character white in a modern movie adaptation. Imagine a remake of Aladdin or Mulan with a white main character. That said, love your videos man. Keep doin what you do!

I honestly don’t understand what this whole race thing is about, the movie needs to be good, that’s all that matters

I'll be one of the first people to agree that if race is not integral to the character, then it shouldn't matter what race the actor portraying the character is. With that said, I'm deeply disappointed that, arguably, the two most ICONIC redheads are replaced with black actresses - Ariel and MJ (from Spider-Man). Natural redheads don't have a lot of representation in media either (Max in Stranger Things being the most recent), and I just hate to see these two major examples be replaced. Again, there's nothing wrong with replacing traditionally white characters with black characters - just irritated that they had to do that with really the only two major redheads in pop culture.

My take is different, and not really based off your take or their take. My take comes from watching movies my whole life, there really isn't a movie I haven't seen, and any movie since 2015 has bored me. There is nothing creative about any of them, they all follow a cookie cutter cut out. The visuals in the newer movies are truly outstanding, but I never watched movies for that. I watched movies to see people act as characters. Every actor or actress today almost seems like the exact same person almost. Unless they have been around for a long time, but there is really no one that has that in your face personality that made movies so great in the first place, and what made them stand the test of time. Think of all the big stars of yester year and think of how unique they were. They all had character, today there is none, and find all these movies, to be just boring as a movie. To look at, as an art piece like a painting maybe a little different, but the stories have been all cookie cutter, you almost know exactly what the next line is going to be, or what is going to happen next. And, now they make too many remakes and not enough good originals, so what is going to happen in 10 years from now, are they going to have some new material, or are they just going to make remakes of the remakes for the rest of eternity. Maybe all the stories have been told, who knows. I personally don't like the race swapping, just for one reason and one reason only. To me, the story is not as important as the character driving the story. So again to me, when I took Creative Writing in college and we were on the subject of film and screenplays a good way to do something is create the character first. Anybody can tell a story, it's the character that sells it. And, you get specific and get highly detailed. These characters were already created. And, I usually agree with the other side about not supporting those movies, but watching this trailer, I kind of changed my mind a little bit. I kind of want to see this movie. And, I haven't said that about a movie since 2015, other than Ghostbusters. And I found that movie to be boring, but the throw back to older movies were great. It was almost worth it, to see the end. And I watched a lot of movies since 2015, and none really impressed me. The first Wonder Woman from I think 2015 was the last superhero movie I enjoyed. They have grown stale to me, and I wish to never see them again. At least for a couple of decades. This is the first time in a long time, that I have saw a movie or a trailer and believed they were that character. And this girl, feels and almost looks like Ariel. And, if they keep this movie, strictly The Little Mermaid, it will be one of the most amazing movies to come out, in a very long time. I am kind of excited. And, though I liked the cartoon, it wasn't one that I always wanted to watch. As a little boy, I wanted to watch... The Sword in the Stone Robin Hood Peter Pan Alice in Wonderland Pinocchio Pete's Dragon The Flight of the Navigator (not a cartoon) The Little Mermaid was loved by girls more but when it comes to these kind of animated films both girls and boys liked them. And if they can keep The Little Mermaid like the cartoon, one of Disney's best villains brought to life, is going to be amazing. I just wish Disney was a little more creative. And, we need better characters in our actors and actresses, we settle for mediocre, college drama level. edit.... What I am saying is, you have more character then todays actors. That is why people are watching you, and you don't have the fancy stuff like Hollywood. If you really think about that, why aren't you in movies. I watch a ton of reactors, to movies and music, that them just being themselves has more character then todays actors and actresses. It blows my mind.

My honest reaction. First few shots were gorgeous. Then everything was too dark to see. Her voice was beautiful, but the CG on her hair is trash. Seriously. What’s with the garbage CG in movies and tv for the last few years?
