Live-Action The Little Mermaid

[DarkKnight88]

One Important question;

Will her hair be red?

 

[mclay18]

Wow, um, very unpredictable. She can sing beautifully and has acting experience with Grown-ish though I haven’t seen that. Interesting.

As long as she can hit the high notes Jodi Benson did, I’m fine with her casting. Some people are going to be mad they didn’t cast Jane Levy or Zendaya though.

I hope they don’t arrange “Part of your World” into an R&B version, save it for the end credits.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

She did song for A Wrinkle in Time

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Not impressed with the casting.

 

[Legendver2]

Disney hates redheads or what lmao

Some people are going to be mad that they didn’t cast a 30 year old?

 

[Mysteryman]

Bold Choice.

I too thought it said Halle Berry.

Count me in as seeing it first as halle berry

 

[DarkKnight88]

Halle Berry for King Triton!

 

[JP]

Love this.

Disney knows who watches their movies. They did their research if there was any chance for a big backlash.

 

[Lencho01]

A good casting choice, I say.

She and her sister can sing well. Have some fan base due to their music, association with Beyoncé, and Grown-ish (a Disney-related show).

White people are going to be maddddd.
If they cast Diddy next as Triton, I’m gonna fall out. I can’t wait to see what the trolls will say.

All that aside, great work securing your bag Halle.

Disney all in on inclusive casting these days I see.

 

[Primal Slayer]

She better retain Ariel's red hair.

Would black people be mad if a live action princess and the frog made Tiana a white girl? I think comes when the sjw/ all inclusive/ representation only goes one way.

 

[JP]

I do hope whatever new songs Menken/Miranda write are island influenced like Kiss The Girl and Under The Sea. Should take place in the Caribbean, anyway.

She better retain Ariel's red hair.

She absolutely better not. If they relax her hair like they did to Mena Massoud imma be tight.

Isn't the bright red hair and starfish bra kind of her signature iconic look?

But remember for every one black Disney Princess or character we have, there’s A MILLION more white ones. So that point is moot.

Considering there is 1 black princess what do you think? Taking 1 white princess and making her black still leaves you with 6 white princesses.

Red hair is a must. She lives under the sea so there's only so many options as far as hair type, all can include red. That's what wigs are for.

That’s a good point. Could give Ursula a Mami Wata remodel.

Rihanna would’ve been good for this too.

I have no idea who this is, but she's very pretty. Hopefully she can sing and act.

My brain keeps correcting her name to Berry's. Its annoying.
