Will definitely be avoiding this one and staying with the animated version of the past. I am disgusted with all this messing about changing history. How am I supposed to explain to my 10 yr old daughter that one of her favourite princesses ( Ariel ) is now a different colour. Its pathetic . . . just as it would be if Disney suddenly changed Princess Tianas colour. I dont think there is any fear of that though. It would cause too much disruption to my old favourite . . SPLASH MOUNTAIN !!
In which part of our history did we have mermaids? If you can’t explain the difference between a cartoon character and a live actor, not only have you failed as a parent, you have also failed at basic intelligence.
Another woke dumby that doesn’t understand that, it’s not that she doesn’t want to explain to her daughter, it’s the simple fact that she shouldn’t have too.
I can’t wait to see your reaction when Emma Watson plays princess Tiana would love to see your reaction then the only thing that is ignorant here is your blind hate towards a situation you would react the same way if it was you in the situation
Not everyone is racist because they don’t want things changed you fool. Black Panther Smashed records and alot of black peolle were in that movie. Its not always about race fool.
Nope, nada, nein. Total destruction of Hans Christian Andersen’s epic story. I never watched the first one and I won’t watch this one either. I’d rather read the book.
Stop, Disney…JUST STOP!!! What you are doing is having the exact opposite reaction to what you aspire to do. HCA was a Dane and this story was written in the 1800s…his character did not have dreadlocks. Alex Haley wrote “Roots”. Can we have a remake of that very successful miniseries starring blond Danish actors for the sake of “inclusion and diversity”. Puh-leeze. Just leave it alone.
Oh. I see. Being opposed to black people being given recycled, black washed characters as a handout is hate. I had no idea you were so desperate. I think you need to look in the mirror and grow up.
What else is new. Disney just doesn’t get it. Luckily they are killing it with their theme parks since they are losing big with their crummy, socially and politically inspired remakes.
It’s sad. I’ve been an Ariel fan since 1989! The fact Disney stayed true and consistent with all other live action remakes yet changed one of the oldest ones not only with the main character being a different color but also making characters different genders and even changing songs is simply unacceptable! Even my child keeps asking why Ariel isn’t like the cartoon! Disney needs to just stop with the nonsense and go back to how Walt would have wanted it. Enough is enough! Historically this movie wouldn’t have happened because back then there was no interracial marriages. Stop rewriting history. I hope this movie flops!
And that’s just why it will succeed because of ignorant people like you. It’s a shame that it’s only about color to you all. And just like someone asked before when has a mermaid been a part of history? These are fairytale creatures and you all are acting like these are real people and even if it was a real person, the color should not matter. Point blank.
I can’t wait to see your reaction when Emma Watson plays princess Tiana would love to see your reaction then the only thing that is ignorant here is your blind hate towards a situation you would react the same way if it was you in the situation
Not the same at all. Princess Tiana was made for little black girls to finally have a princess that looked like them. It’s a mermaid she doesn’t have to look like the original. This is for little black girls that only have one princess that looks like them. To see the the look on all the little girls face to finally have more than just one options for them. It’s a kids movie it’s not for us adults.
Lame excuse. By black washing the Little Mermaid you took away someone else’s representation. Little red haired pale children loved her and you stole that. You also Africanized a European story. And you put yourselves above Asians, Muslims and other ethnicities and demand with entitlement. Two words: Get lost.
Because Disney was in a live action kick and people kept asking for little mermaid. They modernized a story about mermaids. No big deal. The lyrics are updated in kids the girl to sound more consensual and why does skin color matter so much to white people that have so many Princesses already. My daughter and nieces didn’t care about the change, they thought she was beautiful and thought it was a great movie. Kids are the ones who actually get to have opinions over the changes. It’s literally for them. We’re grown. Something as simple as the slight changes they made didn’t effect quality at all. We can allow the black community the part to better accommodate them. Walt was known to be facist and antisemitic. We don’t need to continue in his footsteps when we can make changes to a freaking mermaid that doesn’t even follow the original story line that was written by Hans Christian.
You’re Africanizing a European story and black washing another child’s hero. If Tiana was white washed you would complain. Get your own stories and your own culture.
Walt was facist, antisemitic and racist. I think we can grow up as a society and realize it’s a movie. If you can’t explain to a child that the color of a mermaids skin color doesn’t change the quality of a movie then we have more things to worry about. You could also explain that little black girls don’t have the same amount of princesses in movies to look up to and it’s time to make that change for them. It’s pretty simple. Even my white daughter screamed ‘she’s beautiful!’ when she saw the preview.
If everyone is so whinny about this why are you putting all your time and energy in too respond to the comments and try prove your point that’s sounds pretty whiny to me 🤷♂️also what kind of overweight discord mod are you writhing this is delicious bro are u fr 💀
The movie is made, get over it. No one is stopping you from watching the original movie. I just find it funny how these grown adults who wouldn’t watch any Disney movies on a good day.. will come out from their mediocre lives and start some mess.. go find you some business and mind hers.
The movie will flop but highest is Indy V. Still, the alterations to the story just lead me to ask, why? Its irritating, why not make an original story with new characters that stand on their own?
My issue is with the live action remakes. I just want to see more new stories not the same ones bring slightly retold. I don’t have anything against any of the remakes just would prefer more new stories (including new stories featuring diverse protagonists).
The fact that people are being butthead over a Character that Disney made pretty when Ariels real true story is far darker and doesn’t have a happily ever after but gets turned to seafoam. Also NO ONE knows what Mermaids would like as the live in the depths of Ocean where there is NO SUNLIGHT so be butthead cause it shows how pathetic you as a human being
This just didn’t need to be made. It wasn’t good. Disney is no longer innovative at all. They just do these movies for cash grabs but guess what? They no longer make money. I don’t care that they changed the lead character skin color, but I do hate that they changed the lyrics to the songs. My daughter watched the original and loved it but this she was bored. It’s an hour longer than the original and it’s a nightmare to sit through.
Sadly, it’s just a rehashing of a well-worn film, all an attempt to cut back on imaginative writers with fresh concepts. A quick buck thanks to once loyal fan base. Well, the fan base has grown a bit wiser and no longer bites at just any bait the Mouse dangles within striking distance.
I have no desire to see this.
Ol’ Walt believed once in the can, move on to the next project. He didn’t like re-makes and for good cause.
The hypocrisy is real. It’s not racist to be disappointed with an already established character’s look being changed. Again, if it were vice versa, the other side would be raging mad, i.e. if Tiana were changed and an Asian woman played her or something. The liberal excuses here are just plain narcissistic and smug. Trolls at their worst.
in all honesty, my problem isn’t about her being black, I couldn’t care, it’s been this way since 2020, they have replaced a lot of white characters, and a lot more to come also, no one said mermaids are one race, because they ain’t, and mythical creatures, how about they do however, make up a new story, created for black culture, regardless what anyone says, the little mermaid we have known, is white with red hair, set in a denmark, in the 1800’s, I’ve no idea where this new one is set, what year, but it doesn’t make sense, or cultural sense, just like they made grease the rise of the pink ladies, and made the lead roles black women, set in the 50s, in the United States of all places, where racism was at it’s all time high, and it’s just not correct, all the pain and suffering black people had to endure back then seems to be erased, and also adding a gay character to the show isn’t correct either, it’s all just all over the place, no ones saying a black person can’t be a mermaid, but put pen to paper and write something new, and not go along with the original story they made, because it all doesn’t add up, of course I’d want to see more black princesses, but how many chinese princeses are there, or indian, japanese etc, hardly any either, anyone wants to point the finger, point it to disney, they have been around for 100 years, get others are racist because they have been raised to watch something a certain way and they change it, I wish the actress well and I wouldn’t like to see this movie flop, but it seems to be going that way, in my opinion it’s not because she’s black, it’s because disney is making mediocre movies, remakes, we don’t want, and not making up new stories, coco was an absolute masterpiece and one of disneys best movies in years, put pen to paper, write something for black people for other cultures also, I also don’t like when someone doesn’t like someone else’s opinion they jump to someone being racist, how about people like things how they are, the original plot line and story, but it will always come down to that, because no one is allowed to have an opinion anymore, we’ve to shut up, and be pushed aside, white people ain’t racist, if a black person had to walk down my street, I wouldn’t think anything of it, but imagine I walk down a black neighbourhood, I would be beat up, chased away, that’s a fact, also black people kill one another, gun crime, when do you hear a white person shot or stabbed a black person, you don’t, also what about the all black cops who killed that man at the start of the year, where was the media uproar with that, no where, it didn’t get mentioned, before people start pointing the finger at us, sort yourself out first, and look at your police system in the states, they are also the issue, because we state a comment on a movie we are the racist ones, I have black family, I’m hardly a racist, call me what you want, I couldn’t care, because I know what I am, and don’t need anyone to tell me otherwise, but remember facts, and that’s the facts, how about you treat your own with decency and don’t be so hypocritical.
Of course I will be going to see it!Little Mermaid has always been one of my fav Disney movies and the actress portraying Ariel is as cute as a button!And honestly…I hate to be the one to say it buuut…who gives a flip about China lol?Literally no one.They are clowns with a huge inferiority complex who never deviate from behaving exactly the way one would expect.
No I definitely won’t be wasting my time and money on another Remake Disney. I was upset with all the changes. I have seen alot of previews and reviews and the CGI looks terrible and everything is dark and dull looking. Plus I I am still mad at Disney for Firing Johnny Depp from POTC. I am done supporting them. They have ruined all the classic movies that made Disney what is was and Disney has officially lost their magic.
lol. as a persian who has never seen a black in my life and i donno anything about racism based on color (yea we have racist too but not for color mostly for race: like we are iranian they are arab or whtsoever) it s wierd to watch comments. I understand the hate for both side. yae whites are not happy and blacks are happy, it s understandable. my point is, disney did the opposite, instead of making happiness and peace, it made more hatered. I m sure if ariel was white no one would talk about colors and skins. I mean is it hard to understand, u are just making more hate. plz understand it, i m telling u as a third person with no benefit from ur fights.
It’s not just white people who are unhappy. There are plenty of black and other non-white folks who hate it too. The blacks specifically saying it’s a handmedown way to include representation instead of giving them new characters. Others simply don’t like it because you’re changing the look of a long established character. Cutting it down to black VS white and racism is an over simplification of the issue and shows no one is bother to actually look at the arguments against it.
Comments for ‘The Little Mermaid’ Expected to Be Disney’s Biggest Fail This Year

Will definitely be avoiding this one and staying with the animated version of the past. I am disgusted with all this messing about changing history. How am I supposed to explain to my 10 yr old daughter that one of her favourite princesses ( Ariel ) is now a different colour. Its pathetic . . . just as it would be if Disney suddenly changed Princess Tianas colour. I dont think there is any fear of that though. It would cause too much disruption to my old favourite . . SPLASH MOUNTAIN !!

In which part of our history did we have mermaids? If you can’t explain the difference between a cartoon character and a live actor, not only have you failed as a parent, you have also failed at basic intelligence.
Tay
Extreme failure.
Dane
Another woke dumby that doesn’t understand that, it’s not that she doesn’t want to explain to her daughter, it’s the simple fact that she shouldn’t have too.
Jaye
I agree, because the color of a mermaid or a human for that matter, shouldn’t matter.
Fee
Many thanks to you.
Donnie
I can’t wait to see your reaction when Emma Watson plays princess Tiana would love to see your reaction then the only thing that is ignorant here is your blind hate towards a situation you would react the same way if it was you in the situation

You guys have been whitewashing history for millenia, and no such reaction has ever occurred. Get a grip
OG Ariel
And that gives you permission now to stomp on any culture you feel like and call it African? The world disagrees. You are not a special form of human.
Fckracists
Yeah I think you should really consider figuring out how to tell your daughter that her dads a racist asswipe.
Buk Lau
Not everyone is racist because they don’t want things changed you fool. Black Panther Smashed records and alot of black peolle were in that movie. Its not always about race fool.
Kyle
That’s a shame! We took my daughter and nieces and they loved every minute of it.
EJ
Sounds like you’re thebone with a problem with it not your daughter.

Won’t be watching!

However will we go on

The original story had the mermaid dead by the end. Your precious original ruined the original story too. Plus it was a man. Look it up

It’s then projected to make $0 the next weekend once word of mouth gets out about how un-entertaining it is.
