That makes a lot of sense 😊

Plus she’s voiced by none other than Awkwafina

@Lilman Yellow That is subjective. I feel if you have to make a comment like this, I assume you just so happen to watch a lot of films that star Awkwafina in it.

Seems like a mixture of both live & animated to me. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Sebastian can actually emote considering his eyes look cartoonish, has a human-ish mouth that crabs do not have, yet a realistic body.

Literally same just here for Ariel and Ursula also Vanessa

@@Militant-Mane yea they did for his eyes 👀 that’s it but nothing for flounder but it really doesn’t bother me I just hope they added max too

@@jpjboi1 Re-watch the trailer in slo-mo. When Ariel is swimming through the grotto hole with Flounder, you can see he was smiling for a brief second and then his eyes widened the moment Triton started speaking. I can tell CG-wise they’re playing around with the eyes & the human-ish mouth. And yes, Max is confirmed to be in the film.

@@Militant-Mane okay I will check now and great Rob better not leave max out lol

It's even hinted that The Little mermaid has a exotic setting. It's not even a kingdom far away, it could be indeed Italy, as this was Hand Christian Andersen's favorite country (same like Goethe's (; ), and we have such exotic vibes, like lemon trees, marble statues, so this is indeed not Denmark, but rather such a "warm" country; also the Disney movie is also inspired by Italy (or another similar country), if you take a close look. A lot of classic plays by Shakespeare are set in Italy or Ancient Greece, as well also even Danish ballets in 19th century (such like "Napoli") (;

With those locks that must have hurt as hell. Kudos to Halle for pulling it off.

Oh, that’s good to hear! Fingers crossed that we won’t be disappointed 🤞😅

@@RealRiise yup fingers crossed!!

Agreed! I was also very much looking forward to the Aladdin remake, but was quite disappointed with the film. This looks very promising though! 🤞

Spain

Ah, thank you! 😊

That’s right! I believe they shot some scenes in England, pinewood

Hm… 🤔 That’s a good question. I assume they’re gonna dub it into Danish - they did it with Beauty and the Beast and Lion King - but I can’t find anything about who’ll be doing the Danish voices 🤷‍♂️

That makes two of us! 🤘🧜🏾‍♀️

Yes! It does look a little bit like a mix between Winterfell and The Red Keep 🤔

@@RealRiise right

Thank you so much 🙏❤️

it looks so fake, her swimming, the hair, the everything.

​@@awildpokemonuwu seek help.

Yes! A diving bird so she can appear in some of the underwater scenes kinda make sense hehe

Ah! That makes a lot of sense 😊

That’s cool! Thanks for informing me 😊

@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 No baby, she's also wearing a creole dress on earth (specifically quadrille from what we can see) it is classic caribbean attire in Haiti, Jamaïca and other carribean islands. It was widely worn by women in the 16th century as it wasn't as warm as other clothes imported from europe & could be worn all year long (since there aren't many seasons here in the caribbean).

@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 the movie setting is Caribbean but like you said, it’s filmed in Italy, that’s what the person was saying

​@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 It was filmed in Italy (Sardegna) but the story is set in an imaginary land inspired in the Caribbean (mostly)

D A N I S H STORY.

This shows so much respect for the original as Italy was Hans Christian Andersen's favorite country (; also the aninated Disney movie could be set there

Oh, that’s really interesting! Do you know where in Italy they were filming?

Sardinia, Italy

Sadly, it's not that hard to find a reason though. The two sides are going at it pretty evenly. Instead of Disney and the cast saying "we did our best", "trust the process", or "you'll like this version just as much as the original". Staying positive CLEARLY does help. But NOPE! You have Disney actors calling the haters "Pathetic" in live interviews. With the media being like a bully's lackey giving the "Yeah! you showed them" kind of attitude. Although I can understand. The hate comments are pretty mean. But going down to their level does NOT help the situation.(it NEVER had) Many creators go through this shit, and yet they kept their composure. Stayed PROFESSIONAL. Even Hailey herself kind of made it worse... (I'm honestly disappointed of her for a bit) She even says in an interview that it will be BETTER than the original JUST because "progression" of Ariel leaving the sea for a man. Which... If she was a fan of the original... She'd at least know the difference between the Book- which IS about a mermaid leaving the sea for a man who could NEVER loved her. Author even mentions how she was treated more like a pet, than a person by the prince. To the animated film where her love for Eric was an EXTENSION- A BONUS of her love for the land. She fell for him because she saw him as the embodiment of what she loves about a world she has mostly only heard about, but want to experience. The tour of the kingdom shows this VERY well. As ALL of her attention is just looking around and experiencing things. Dragging Eric around not really doing ANY romantic advances. It was the animals that were desperate for them to kiss. Not her. And him falling for her because of how much she is just LOVING everything around her. The liveliness and happiness she radiates rubbing off on him. That's what made their relationship so great. And for Hailey to talk down about their relationship, while also making a pretty obvious mix up with the plot. I... can't blame people for getting upset.

@@usonohoshi6165 Instead of investing your precious time trolling and obsessing about everything Halle says or does please go watch your beloved original Ariel to quench your insatiable love for the cartoon as many times as you can and get the satisfaction you want. We already know where you get your source material and how these pages are desperate and trying so hard to make this movie fail even before it’s released!!! As an adult and a human being do better, stop idolizing a cartoon drawn and controlled by a human to move, emote and voice while looking for all sorts of reasons to justify your hate for another human being !!!! Please don’t leave any more hate inspired twisted nonsense under my comment, your comments are not welcome! The whole world is not stupid to see what you are doing!!!

Facts! And they didn't mess up. The movie was amazing, but of course ppl are going nit-pick every little insignificant detail. Hmmm I wonder why 🤔🙄

Absolutely. It was definitely not to disregard Buddy Hackett. My point was just that they’ve changed the gender of the character 😊

Bet you watched all 15 and will watch this one too.

ok.

No one said that. White People can dress up as famous black characters and celebs as long as they aren’t painting their skin black to look like the person.

Well, then also Cinderella would be inappropriate as there is already the version with Brandy. It's here about fairy tales, not about historical characters. But you're right, now as Disney is opening it this way, it should be also the other way. Let white kids also dress as Tiana. The whole thing with cultural appropriation should not be one sided...

@@felicity1877 I think the thing with Brandy's Cinderella, it was based from Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, and not really from the Disney's animated Cinderella, so in a way, it is less mainstream. Tiana or Naveen are not historical figures, but still, I doubt, a white adult or a white kid can easily dress up as them without ruffling some feathers. So I agree, it shouldn't be one-sided.

@@felicity1877 It’s not one sided. White actors/actresses play Asian, Native Americans and other indigenous people and yes even Black people. And people can wear anything they want, but Tiana unlike fictional sea creature Ariel is based on a real life human Black woman living in 1920’s pre civil rights era America.

@@nubiannile4606 Actually, the thing with Tiana as argument is more complicated, as Ariel is also based on the The Little Mermaid, and she is clearly described in Andersen's tale as white, and she is inspired by a white actress, Alyssa Milano. Theoretically, also Tiana as character would work as a white person (I know it's New Orleans with a stronger black population, but still also with white, of course). But it's right to say that Tiana was created as a black girl because Disney wanted to introduce a black princess, and so she should be kept also as black in her live action adaption. Ariel was created as a modern, young and lively character for a young modern audience (and she doesn't have a clear nationality, - I hate when the word "race" is used in this context), and so Halle Bailey can be of course also Ariel. The animated characters are anyway so unique that they would never be fully embodied by their live action counterparts (so one could always spot differences, I guess). You're right that there are also such examples of the other sided race bending, as this had been rather in the past (when there had been less such diverse actors/actresses around anyway - because it had been also much more about celebrities than proper "representation"), and it's still happening, yet, I would rather say that's happening with less established characters (at least, I wouldn't recall now a famous example) and it's not connected with such marketing as within Disney.

I couldn’t agree with you more!

Then better learn how to spell her correctly, if she's so important...as for me,too, but of course, Halle Bailey is not Ariel. She's an actress casted as this part. That's the difference (:

Omg shut up go and watch the cartoon like or dislike 👎🏼 is nothing most of them a bot 🤖

Sure, I own the book, but I didn’t say I like it though 😅
