The characters, animal models, underwater scenery and movement, TAILS (!) tentacles, hair, make-up. Not an upgrade from Disneyland designs. Gonna watch this just for the little hope of proving myself wrong, but after the trailers it's very unlikely to happenĀ Ā Iām kinda sick of people trying to find ways to getĀ angry about Ariel being blackā¦ Iāve seen this video multiple times and I donāt like her take. Sure, create new roles for actors of colour, create original characters that are fleshed out and represent different communities. That being saidā¦ when it comes to the Disney princess line-up, diversity was seriously lacking until the 2000āsā¦ and most of Disneyās ābigā princess movies are white.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I wouldn't mind having a black mermaid if it wasn't just a cheap-looking copy of an original. The CGI and characterisation of the new Ariel is giving that impression. The mermaids in the movie look just a bit better than an aquarium cosplay mermaids with plastic colorful tails. Because of it and the drama (the creators were certainly hoping for in order to make it loud - and the succeeded) will certainly do more harm than good for the representation and I am telling it just after seeing the trailer. The movie will be 1:1 plot copy made of real actors and poor visuals Hollywood wasn't really ready to pull off. This is just my opinion but I am quite sure the movie will be notĀ critically acclaimed and audience favorite. I bet it can do worse even than The Lion King IG: @bartoszprazuch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omar Vela 2,237 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Made another edit, I don't understand why they went too minimalistic and sad on her design. I added some things and fixed that brown hair color that doesn't have anything to do with Ariel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiana's movie is still too recent for a remake, I think.Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PunkTheFunk 118,855 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think Halle is a great choice for Ariel but I HATE how they go for realism with these Disney live action remakes. It makes the movie look so drab and depressing, unless that's the point. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anderson123 26,284 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Halle does have an incredible voice so no doubt the musical numbers are going to be great but damn this movie rollout is going to be messy. I have a feeling critics and fans are going to be harsh on it.Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites
