Rob Marshall asked her to audition once heard he saw and heard her sing at the Grammys and he said her audition blew him away with tears and everyone that auditioned after her couldn’t compare to her

Disney has been hit and miss with the live action films, I loved Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Maleficent, but Lion King, they sacrificed facial expressions of the animals for the sake of realism, and do not get me started on what they did to Mulan. But I'm confident this one will be good and for one major reason. The Little Mermaid saved Disney. The company was on the verge of collapse and Ariel and crew saved them, ending a thirty year stagnation. This movie launched the Disney Renaissance. This movie is one film they know they absolutely HAVE to get right. People won't forgive a screw up with this movie. So, I know they'll do right by this one.

Oh, I can't wait! Congratulations Halle and thank you so much Disney for giving this rendition to us! The RICHNESS, color, and diversity are inspiring!

Her beauty is enchanting and her voice is so therapeutic ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ SHE IS GORGEOUS AND PERFECT FOR THE ROLE. Can’t wait to see it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE IT ALREADY✨

It was the pause you took after Halle’s run for me😂😂😂,, but fr I am SO excited to see this and we’re gonna have to have a full review of the movie from you once it comes out!!

Halle looks and sounds incredible ❤️ Cant wait to see this!!

Forget about the haters she's adorable as the mermaid and she's really good and marvellous ☺ she's fantastic and I think the crews got the fantastic choice as her to be the part of it .

I absolutely agree with your comments about The Little Mermaid plus I enjoy seeing everyone's reactions and pleasant comments. But I have seen the hateful videos and one of them I just found out is spreading hateful comments about the new Disney films Pinocchio The Little Mermaid plus the new Snow White film. These are angry hateful comments with racial undertones in his videos this must stop so I gladly did something about it

Did you hear who was composing the music too? This was one of my favorites! I hope they knock it out of the park!

👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥. Here in support of black girls and women.

Halle... Just perfect... I saught this trailer so much times 🥲🥲

I am crazy excited for this movie!! 😃 I don’t understand all the hate, Halle is absolutely stunning! 🥰😍🧜🏾‍♀️ 💖 Her voice is flawless, PERFECT pitch. She instantly makes me believe she IS Ariel! 🥰 🧜🏾‍♀️💕🧜🏾‍♀️ I’m 41, child of the 80’s, and The Little Mermaid is my all-time favorite Disney movie….the entire trailer made me so emotional and took me back to my childhood. The visuals, music, and Halle…made me happy cry 🥲 🥰💕💚 Have you seen videos of little girls watching the trailer for the first time? They are adorable! Seeing them excited that Ariel looks like them is so sweet! 🥰 ❤️ I’ve also seen reaction videos of white girls, and they don’t care that she’s black… they think Halle is beautiful and believe her as Ariel…gives me hope for the future 💙💙💙 The people who are “upset” about Ariel not being white, really need a reality check. If seeing this trailer didn’t make you happy, well, I don’t know where your heart is. It’s supposed to be a fun, happy movie. Just sit back and enjoy watching it with your kids 😊

Wait til the full trailer 👍🏽👍🏽💡💡💡

I can't wait.... periodt💅🏾

I know alot of people don't like changes but for me i love and embrace changes i think changes is a good thing i also know alot of people prefer old school 80's and 90's shows and movies over new ones most are disappointed about the new shows and movies think it's bad but to me i love both old and new shows and movies equally there are some shows and movies i do dislike think it was bad and some shows and movies that are old and new i do like think it was good equally in my unpopular opinion i just love giving things a chance to see if i will like it or not the samething goes with a video game even if it's popular or unpopular and i also want to say that i love this the little mermaid remake trailer i'm going to give it a chance give my own opinion on it

Your very beautiful and great video! I'm so excited to watch the movie!

yes, 6:43 she got the role because she can sing. ... and easy on the eyes too. but we are not suppose to talk about it

Loved your reaction Kay! New subscriber ❤️

Sis…you need to see her live performance of Can You Feel The Love Tonight…it’s breathtaking and flawless. Loved your reaction, btw ❤️

In fact, the animated Aerial"d skin should have been beat red by the end of the movie . She would have burned being in that water all the time because she liked to hang near the surface with the sun beating down on her and being enhanced through the water.

YASSSSSS QUEEN!!! 🙌😁🧜‍♀️✨️🌈❤️

Yes there is going to be another princess and the frog movie or tv series on Disney plus. Probably a different title but yeah Tiana is coming back soon.

I love how they used cgi to make her eyes more fish-like. Stunning and brave.

She was born to be Ariel.

You are right mermaids are different colors so it don’t matter if she’s black they’re all different colors look at Peter Pan

Yh I am happy to see the little mermaid is really hitting the theatre hop hip hurray! But what about aladdin 2 the return of jafar mena massoud as aladdin and naomi scott as jasmine and dwain Johnson as the genie coz will is not returning?

Trust me if it's following the original movie it'll be better.

🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘

How you started this is literally what I was thinking... Ariel is a fish... people need to chill out 😭🙏

The part when the lil mermay energetically confronts ursula telling her: "keep sebastian's name out of your f$%$ng mouth" actually moved me

The haters are just racist Karen’s and kens that are stupid! Halle is perfect just perfect! Rob the director literally picked her.

Me personally not upset that she’s black.

In the movie she lost her voice because of the deal she made 😢

Watch the full trailer first then talk about it

The part when Ariel said “Autobots, roll out!” LITERAL CHILLS. Stunning and brave.

xd

😖

You pause too much. The rhythm and emotion is supposed to build ..And you lose that impact when you constantly pause.

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

LMFAO! “Do you know whaa” 🥹 love your voice and accent you should react to the SCREAM franchise. It’s horror and Halloween in coming up. I’d love to hear your accent while scared… I know that sounds weird but, “what’s your favorite scary movie?”

The animated Ariel always puzzled me. I never understood why a mermaid living in a tropical place lacked melanin. It makes more sense to me that a person of color would be cast in this role. And that's not to take away from Halle Bailey's amazing voice, as well as, how amazing she looks as Ariel. I have no doubt she definitely landed the role of Ariel because she is very talented. It's good to see Disney fix their whitewashing mistakes.
