The Little Mermaid: from cartoon to live action
Like many classic Disney cartoons before it, The little Mermaid it also underwent a live action makeover. In theaters May 24, the live-action film picks up the same storyline as the original released in 1989.
The plot takes place in 1830, on a fictional island in the Caribbean. Ariel (Halle Bailey), a rebellious young mermaid, falls in love with Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King). To live on land, she does a deal with Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), the sea witch, unaware of the dangers this poses to her life and to the crown of her father, King Triton (Javier Bardem). Between forbidden loves and heartbreaking choices, Ariel will have to find the courage to save what matters most to her.
An iconic scene is missing: the director explains why
If this new version of The little Mermaid He almost shoots the cartoon shot by shot, he’s still in it an iconic scene from the 1989 film that is missing from this live actionNot. In fact, you may have noticed that there is no sequence in the kitchens of the palace with Chef Louis making a real slaughter of fish and shellfish for the meal while he pushes the song The fish.
Confused, we wanted to ask director Rob Marshall directly about the absence of this scene. He answered us:
This scene is very cartoon within a cartoon, it’s an animation concept and it’s really part of the story, it’s just about chasing the crab. It was very difficult to include her in the live action because she’s calibrated for animation.
