“Woke” Criticism of The Little Mermaid Remake

While it came under fire for being a so-called “woke” version of the Little Mermaid original, the soundtrack and visuals took fans aback. It brought the magic back to the box office and Hans Christian Andersen back to the minds of many. But Disney isn’t stopping there.

With The Little Mermaid’s wish and the iconic sea witch, King Tritons’ daughters, and the dashing Prince Eric, much stayed canon. Yet the Evil Sea Witch appeared different, as did many of the other film aspects. Disney’s The Little Mermaid was a piece that focused on empowerment for the Disney princess.
