Not happy. Ariel is an iconic ginger. It would be like casting a Weasley without red hair.

Casting an African American for the purpose of representation for a period Danish movie while Disney has an incredible story about an African American princess that goes unused? Maybe this would make sense if Disney didn’t already have a film that highlights and celebrates actual African American culture. Is this not in some twisted way white washing? By just switching races of a popular princess

They are literally erasing the origin of the fairytale. I agree with this.

Except it is. Check out the original illustration of the little mermaid by Andersen. 

But this isn’t the Anderson version is it? Just like Disney does with all they’re retellings of classic stories, things change.

I know it's going to get Trump re-elected again, but I think it will work.

I just hope the girl wears a red wig... That's the image that lives on my imagination since day one. I remember the few times they did little presentations at school, always red long wig.

Based on the casting alone I can tell whether I’ll like a movie. First they go with Melissa McCarthy when literally anyone else would’ve been better & now they go with this random a** “actress” who isn’t even the description of the character. Honestly if they were going to face bend the main role they should’ve went with Zendaya.

But that isn’t a good way to judge a movie that hasn’t even been shot yet, and no you can’t say weather a movie is good based on casting cuz people can ALWAYS prove you wrong

Literally everyone said Gaga was a bad choice for ASIB including many monsters who said she can’t act etc etc and then she got nominated for not one but two Oscars 🤷🏽‍♂️ Keep an open mind, you’ll enjoy stuff a lot more

Disneys movies have never been exact copies of the story that they're based on. This is just another new interpretation. Stop nitpicking.

They probably picked the best girl for the roll, no matter her skin tone, as they should.
