I liked that Eric was more fleshed out in the live action. He felt like he had purpose, frustrations and interest to learn more about cultures of the world rather than just a prince who likes adventure in the animation. Halle's voice felt so similar to Ariel. I thought she fit the character well!

Halle owned this role. It seemed like the part of Ariel was written specifically for her!

10:12 That was literally me with every scene Halle and Jonah shared, their chemistry is off the charts also I love that Jonah is like Prince Eric had been brought to life but in an upgraded version.

How dare they turn Eric into a voyage nerd! I already had a crush for the animated version. This change made me love him so SO much more. He's more than a Prince, he's Ariel's kindred spirit... 😅

I love that Halle made Ariel her own…she’s going to get so far in life…I can’t wait to see what life has in store for her.

This is the best cast I could have ever asked for! I’m so emotional watching this! I can’t get “part of your world” out of my head! It’s so good, I love Halle’s voice!!!!!

I hope I’m not the only one bingeing Little Mermaid interviews and BTS! I held off on even watching the commercials til I saw the movie. Now that I’ve seen it (and LOVED IT), I can’t get enough of this cast🧜🏽‍♀️✨

I went into the movie not expecting much due to the prior Disney live action movies just not doing it for me compared to the original animated movies (specifically the live action remakes of beauty and the beast and the lion king). But WOW Disney and the cast of the live action little mermaid DID the dang thing and straight SERVED us a fantastic movie and gave me everything i hoped that a live action version of a timeless Disney movie would be. Melissa McCarthy deserves an Oscar award for her performance as Ursula; her acting was that GOOD! I walked into the movie not expecting much from Melissa’s acting role as Ursula, and you can imagine how shocked I was to see Melissa not only knock her performance out of the ball park, but TRULY bring Ursula as a fictional character from a beloved animated movie to LIFE in the human flesh. I dont even know how to describe how great and amazing Melissa’s performance was. I saw one commenter say that “Melissa was born for this” and that “Melissa was made for this role”, and yeah she was, i completely 100% agree with them. All the roads in Melissa’s life led to this role as Ursula, and let me tell ya, Melissa playing the role of Ursula in the live action version of the little mermaid was truly a match made in heaven. I feel silly for ever sleeping on Melissa by not expecting her to really give us anything in the movie prior to me seeing it. Next, Halle Bailey also deserves all the awards she can get for incredibly talented performance of Ariel. Halle is SO SO SO gifted at singing, her voice is honestly tear provoking as you listen to her sing. Its the same sensation as when you’re listening to a song that sparks your emotions within you and then allows you to get lost in the music and your thoughts as the song takes you to a deep place in your mind whether about the past, your future, your dreams, your emotions, your hopes, your fears, your present, your loved ones etc. thats how i can best represent how great and how talented Halle’s musical abilities are as a vocalist. She’s incredible. To anyone who loves the original animated little mermaid movie, I highly highly recommend for you to see this movie. Regardless of however you may feel about the movie before seeing it, or whether you think it wont be worth seeing because of the previous live action remakes of Disney’s classic movies, you will be 100% surprised at how GREAT this movie is and how WORTHWHILE it is to go and see it whether by yourself, with your kids, spouse, loved ones or friends. You all know that feeling of walking out of the movie theaters after just seeing great cinema, right? Like how rewarding, satisfying, motivating, Or thought provoking watching excellent cinema can be and feel like right after you finish watching it as you walkout of the theaters reflecting on everything it is you just watched, and how good it feels to experience that since excellent movies with phenomenal acting in it are hard to come by. Well this movie is one of them that will leave you feeling like as you leave the theater after seeing it. Its worth it to go see. 100%. Disney did it right this time; all of which is fantastic.

My boyfriend took me to see my favorite childhood movie come to life. I cried, laughed, smiled. I felt all the emotions. I disappeared into this fantasy for 2 hours. This movie was BEYOND GREAT!! 100/10 ❤️ So far, best movie of 2023

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE WOMAN WHO PLAYED URSULA???? I looove how she brought the ursula character!

I think what they added made the movie better! And the Halle and Jonah were absolutely perfect-it felt like they were really falling in love as they got to know each other.

The perfect voice for Ariel. She truly is my image of a Princess.

I like how Eric’s personality is not the same as a piece of toast in the live action.😘 SO GOOD 😊

Price Eric though😍

Saw this movie tonight and it was transforming. I can't stop singing. Halle Bailey is going to be a HUGE star.

"I just... i feel so trained" 😂😂😂😂

Jonah and Halle both nailed Eric and Ariel IMO. My only gripe is that they could have kept Eric’s contribution in defeating Ursula. Like that was pivotal in the original, he showed that he would go through lengths for his love for Ariel. She saved him, he saved her.

I loved the live action more than the original. The chemistry between Halle and Jonah was off the charts. They both fit their roles perfectly.

Halle and Jonah are SUPER stars!!! They slayed their roles in this film SO MUCH!!! Hope they work together in other projects cuz they have out-of-this-world chemistry that would translate amazingly in any kind of project they do together. LOVE THIS DUO!!!

The casting was spot on. Halle Bailey's voice is exceptional. Ursula was fabulous. Loved this movie. Very well done live-action remake, now make another one with a new original story and the same cast!!

I wasn't expecting too much on the movie. But seeing the Halle transfoemed as a mermaid perfectly suited her more as it matches her skin color with the Ocean. Because I am Asian, and lives in a tropical Island (Philippines) I am used to see locals' brown skin color. It just so nice I think the settings fitted her perfectly.

Halle and Melissa took this movie to the next level ❤️ Everyone was absolutely amazing. I want to actually own a physical copy of that movie because of how good it is!

actually enjoy this movie more than the original, excellent job

Halle Bailey was magical. She made all my childhood dreams come true. What a voice. It gave me chills. Just love her as the little mermaid. The little mermaid of dreams.

Halle and Jonah are my favourite ariel and eric forever now ❤️I loooved this version

She did such an amazing job playing Ariel. Loved the new song For The First Time. She perfectly executed the butterfly feeling you get when you're about to meet your crush. Haven't stopped playing it since. Love this woman to bits😊

1:43 the excited faces on those children, these are moments that we should cherish, these are moments that Walt Disney himself would truly be proud of

Jonah’s dimples make him so much cuter!!! ☺️

The reprises and added songs with Eric was what made this film stand out. Perfect cast.

So much cuteness!!❤

I was one that was skeptical about Halle Bailey as Ariel, but after watching this film. It should have been her all along, it makes much better sense this way around. Everyone nailed their roles. Perfect casting!!! Great movie!!! Spoil Alert: I did miss the chef’s scene in the version though… bummer!

Halle did an amazing job, glad I got to see her in a role that fit her perfectly.

HALLE IS MY ARIEL

Tears, joy, nostalgia, chills. This movie took me back to being 5 again. This is disney's best live action remake!!!!

Halle is so adorable… I cannot 🥺

Not a fan of the live action remakes, but I went to see this one yesterday and I loved it sooo much! So much fun and the story has more depth than the original.

I really enjoyed this live action! Well done everyone and thank you from Japan!

Boy started blushing when she was talking about him

Halle and Melissa were the best thing about this movie. They both just killed it!

Halle is so beautiful and I loved the new songs

Although there were a few aspects I didn’t care for, this is my favorite live-action Disney movie by far! Halle is PERFECTION and Jonah is the new ❤throb prince!!! I definitely want to see it again!

We finally have leads who can sing!!!!!! Yay!

She did so wonderful, she was made for this role ❤️❤️ and so did everyone else on the movie!!

Ever time there was a scene where she would sing , the whole movie theater would be so silent . I think all jaws were dropped.

I went to see this movie 4x in 3 days ❤❤❤ I loved every bit of it!!! thank you so much!!

Lack of something in the movie but, we cannot complain when it comes to character chemistry, the entire cast did soooooooo good. Each character own their craft. This is what a good chemistry on screen look like. It just comes naturally and don't need to hard edit. Should they have mermaid 2? Hmm......... yes. Her hair could be more red though. hehe.

5 days after this movie aired, I watched it VIP style with my little sister!!! I told myself, they very 1st time u do VIP, make sure its the right movie, & make sure u go with someone very special!!! The Little Mermaid was definitely the right movie, & treating my sister for her b-day VIP style was an amazing experience!!! The Disney movie version came out when I was 2 yrs old, & 34 years later they make the real life movie version!!! At 36 years old, I'm glad to know that I was around for this, I can never get tired of watching it, & its hands down the movie of 2023!!!

Prince eric👌💞

The For the First Time sequence had me in tears 😢❤❤. So beautiful

I'm at theater right now waiting for my ride,it's my second time going 💕I watched in 3D tonight, going at least 2 more times with other people 👑❤️💕 HALLE AND THE ENTIRE CAST WAS OUTSTANDING 🔥🌹

The movie was amazing. Your voice is so beautiful.

They are so cute together! So much love and admiration for each other 💜

I really love this 🥰🥰🥰 Halle Bailey♥️♥️♥️

Melissa McCarthy brought the heat in this movie! I love that woman. She is so talented.

Halle did such a great job the movie was so good almost cried

The joy, wonder , and astonishment of hearing how much our beautiful special needs adult daughter experienced over top astonishment for this amazing Hally Berry characterization if this film version of The Little Mermaid was heartwarming. Total meltdown fir us parents happened when she glowed and said, “I love her” as she gasped and hugged her 2 in 1 Little Mermaid doll after viewing the film. Because while she enjoyed the original animation version of The Little Mermaid, this version with Ms Berry, her beautiful voice and the outstanding cast, updated musical lyrics and the Disney magic was an excuse to fir a repeat viewing of this version. Thank you Disney for correctly choosing Ms Hally Berry to bring Little Mermaid to life. As a Mom & beautiful daughter who love all things mermaids, we are delighted. ❤💕💗😍😍

This movie was amazing. The cast was perfect especially Halle and Melissa. Being a huge fan of the original I was blown away. I've seen it twice already and dare I say it - BETTER than the original!

Interviewer: "Jonah, same question" hahaha. The movie was great, it did the first one justice and added its own charm to it. My inner child left the theatres happy 🥰

THIS TRULY AMAZING!!!

Ursula worked it. Everything. Loved it!

So sweet how they complimented each other

Ariel and Ursula were absolutely incredible!👏🧜‍♀️🐙

Skuttle was definitely a favorite in this film!

Halle made Ariel's song realy realy better and no one can sing like her. Was perfect!!!!

Just watched this at the cinema. Loved it!

Best cast possible! The Little Mermaid has always been my favourite Disney film and I now love it even more. Halles voice for Ariel is phenomenal. She really brought passion into the role of Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, I mean you can't go wrong lol All the cast were perfect! Please do my next favourite 'Ferngully'

I cried when I watched this at the cinema and I'm 35 lmao. I love that they kept the original dialogues

One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time!! it reminded me a lot of those movies from the 90s

The moment Part of Your World started in the movie, I just started crying. I had to look away or else I wouldn't be able to control it and start bawling.

I love the chemistry of Ariel and Prince Eric 😍❤ their chemistry is so good

The guy who played Eric was just great 👍 I like his questions stuff with Halle so cute ❤

This movie looks great, can't wait to see it!!

This is the first live action Disney movie I have seen, and I am so glad I at least watched this one! It was perfect.

How about a King Triton and Ursula origin story? That would be interesting!

I love this movie so much!! 🥰🥰🥰

Melissa McCarthy is literally everything

the editing of the movie was awesome too

I loved Ursla !!! She definitely played her part !!!!!!

Such a sweet, hearfelt and emotional movie, absolutely true to the original.

実写版のマーメイド🧜‍♀️最高でしたー感動しました❤実写版大好き😘です❤

Cried a lot when she sung Part of Your World 😢😢

I think we need to get over her skin color and realize she is a very talented broadway style actress. That voice is ideal for the big songs in Little Mermaid. The cast of Jonah is equally brilliant, his strong tenor is again ideal for the Prince.

I wish they would have added a song with the sisters. That would have been so awesome.

Blown away by this film.

I like her voice its beautiful

I felt like a little kid all over again. The movie is incredible, just go watch.

Well it was a real good movie. They'll most likely do a sequel!!

Halle was perfect for the movie ❤ shes bautiful and her voice is amazing

I love halle

this is great

0:32 you're right Lin-Manuel Miranda, that's a voice, a voice that is just as beautiful as Jodi Benson's voice

The casting is perfect

Just got back from seeing it and created some beautiful memories with the dame people I saw the first one with so long ago. Absolutely beautiful movie--they nailed it! It's a treat to get to see this extra footage!

Halle is the best Ariel character she perfect for this ❤❤❤ congrats sis

Aww. They would be a sweet couple 🥰

I loved loved loved LOOOOOOOOOVED it 🥰

I finally got to see this beautiful movie last week and I couldn't help but tear up because one it just so gorgeous and all of the artistic vision that went into it and I thought about Halle and all the backlass that the whole crew have had to go through the pass few weeks they don't deserve that there is nothing about this movie I would change the cast perfect the songs amazing everything from it is just incredible and whoever continues being judgemental needs to get a life

Halle have a amazing voice and she its a beautyful woman❤❤❤❤

Halle did beautifully! ❤

Uhhhh this movie couldn’t be any better !!!! Magical ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t imagine how cool it is for her growing up loving the little mermaid never imagining she would become her literally! So beautiful n so special
