What’s the issue? That’s it’s being remade or they cast a non-white Ariel? Wasn’t she announced months ago?

They should just add a white mermaid in who constantly complains to the King about everything and everyone. Maybe that would placate the mayosapiens.

It's all about authenticity! Don't you remember how accurate the original movie was to the Hans Christian Andersen story? I mean, come on.

I'm not the target demo, and I'm not necessarily the nostalgia bait target demo. Little Mermaid was kinda one and done with me back then, Under da Sea was a banger tho.
I just feel stunt casting really isn't worth whatever agenda value they think they're getting out of it. Casting news gets backlash from older fans, backlash gets backlash from other fans. Things go quiet. Then comes the trailer, rinse and repeat the backlash cycle. These people are sexist/racist, no no they are sexist/racist. Production defends decisions, calls people bigots. Reactionaries make click bait youtube vids. An actress will close their social media, rinse repeat. Then the movie drops and it's not even good because modern fantasy writing in general is horrid. Blame the reactionaries, and reactionaries blame production. Rinse repeat. It's all kinda tired. And very avoidable. But I imagine the situation will solve itself in a while, but not for Disney who can whether the storm. |

Mulan had no stunt casting and it was still a mess so there's a bit more going on here.

My oldest sister has the original movie as part of her Holy Trinity of favorite movies. The simple fact that this is a remake is enough to upset her, all other factors not taken into consideration.

Yeah a live action remake of their entire 90s streak has not yielded a single success.

Actually yeah Jungle Book was great.
Disney productions are a special class where of course they will make money, if we're talking them being the quality level of what they're trying to recreate ermmmmm. |

I don't remember the original song/lyrics/moment, but I'm sure people are making a bigger "outrage" over the change than it actually is.

This is probably the biggest issue. All their live action remakes are like this, bar maybe the first one or two that they did as they were "new" and "different" at the time.
Dunno why they can't focus their energies on new films altogether. Enchanted and Disenchanted were both enjoyable enough. |

There's Caribbean versions of mermaid mythology that Disney could have used as a base for a Little Mermaid reboot that would be justifiably distinct, checks all the boxes they're hellbent on checking now, Sébastien's two iconic tracks would be still fit tonally, and the reactionaries wouldn't have a leg to stand on because nothings being 'butchered' in big yellow thumbnail font.
And I might be bias but those mermaid fairy tales are much cooler. It's sort of like race changes in superhero media when there's a ton of minority superheroes ready to kick ass. It's like they rather bait reactionaries for industry clout. |

Against all odds, this thing is managing to stay afloat, no pun intended, with the reviews and scores. It was at 71% on Rotten Tomatoes with critics last I checked; over 80% with the commoners. Maybe Disney finally lucked out and found a formula.

Its audience score is <50 verified people. Bit too early to use that number. Maybe it holds maybe it doesnt but its a bad metric regardless.

I don't think there is a large % of people upset at her casting. Seems like the loud minority.
