Despite the criticism it received before its premiere, “The Little Mermaid” was positioned as one of the Disney live action movies more accepted by the fans.
As expected, the company is focusing on creating new content for the public’s taste and has surprisingly assured that a series of Princess Ariel will hit the screens, we explain.
Disney to premiere ‘Disney Junior Ariel’ animated series: inspired by ‘The Little Mermaid’
On June 13, Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, announced during the Annecy Animation Festival that they are working on “Disney Junior Ariel,” an animated series starring the world’s most beloved little mermaid.
The interesting thing is that this program will be created specifically for a very young audience, namely preschoolers.
According to a statement shared by the Variety portal, the show in question will be inspired by the movie it stars in Halle Baileybecause here the main character also has a dark skin tone.
Other characters will be present such as King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian and the girl’s best friend Flounder, who will surprisingly be illustrated identically to the one seen in the 1989 Disney film.
In the chapters, Ariel will maintain a great curiosity about the world around her and earthly treasures, which she will collect in a cave, just like the original plot.
“Disney Junior Ariel” will be released in 2024 through the streaming platform Disney+ and for now, it is unknown if Halle Bailey will voice the main character or how many seasons it will have.
This news has spread on social networks and apparently netizens are divided, because although many were in favor, others just think it will be a colossal failure.
