The teaser of the new version, starring Halle Bailey, was released during the D23 Expo, which also included an impressive full-length clip of “Part of Your World”.
ANAHEIM – from disney announced the remake in live actn of your animation The little Mermaid, The Internet has gone into turmoil, as it always does when a project appears based on something loved by so many. And, as always, unfortunately, the internet also went haywire when Halle Bailey was announced as ariel. Bailey is a actress is a singer Black.
Because the presentation of the feature film, which will debut in May 2023, during the D23 Expo, in Anaheim, California, should calm fans down. Director Rob Marshall and the actress showed the full clip of Part of your world (or Parte do Seu Mundo in the Brazilian adaptation) Friday 9.
The production seems to have retained a certain magic of the original, with Ariel singing at the bottom of the sea, without her hair ending up in her face, for example. It’s not entirely realistic, then, but the CGI is pretty impressive. Her mermaid tail floats in the water and she has scales running across her chest instead of a cup bra. Flounder (voiced by Jacob Tremblay) also looks like a real fish.
What also affects? the voice of Halle Bailey, who is part of the Chloe x Halle duet with her sister. At the same time she pays homage to the original and inserts her personality and an interpretation of the character’s emotions that make a difference. She received a standing ovation at the D23 Expo, deservedly.
Then Disney also released the first image and first teaser of the film. And then, of course, the Internet did what it always did, like Ismael Cruz Córdova, from Lord of the Ringsand Steve Toussaint, from the house of the dragon. Not even Disney could have imagined that so many bearded men were attached to the “canon” of The little Mermaid. The direct abuse of the actress and her choice to play her character were bad. Because, for these people, it’s absurd mermaid be black. Always remembering that mermaids do not exist and have been represented in all possible colors.
In return, mothers started posting their black babies’ reaction to the trailer on TikTok. They show joy and surprise in seeing a person with the same skin color in the role of ariel. one’s Halle Bailey tweeted a compilation with Portuguese subtitles, coming from @portalcxh and reposted by @tracklist, saying, “People have been sending me these reactions all weekend and I’m really amazed. It means everything to me.”

As the Internet also says, that’s it. Why can’t black girls and boys see each other on screen?
The actress also received support from Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the 1989 animation, and Rachel Zegler, actress of Love sublime love who will play Snow White in the live action version of Disney.

In addition to Halle Bailey, the film has other attractions, such as Melissa McCarthy in the role of Ursula and Javier Bardem in the role of King Triton. Daveed Diggs, from Hamilton, says Sebastian, and Awkwafina is Seagull Scuttle. Prince Eric is played by Jonah Hauer-King. The story shouldn’t stray too far from the original, but it should be modernized to give Ariel more agility and voice.
The little Mermaid features classic animated songs, composed by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, such as Under the sea, Academy Award for the original song. Menken is again the composer of the instrumental score and is writing new songs in collaboration with Lin-Manuel Miranda, the author of the hit songs Charm.
