About The Little Mermaid

As one of Disney's most beloved animated classics, The Little Mermaid has been eagerly anticipated as a live-action adaptation for years. Finally, in 2023, fans will get to see the underwater world of Ariel and her friends come to life on the big screen.

Directed by Rob Marshall, the film boasts an impressive cast, including Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, and Javier Bardem as King Triton. The music will be a mix of classic songs from the original film, as well as new tunes from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken.

While some fans have expressed concern over the casting choices and changes to the story, early footage and images suggest that the film will be a visually stunning and entertaining experience. And with Marshall's track record of successful musical adaptations (Chicago, Into the Woods), there's reason to believe that The Little Mermaid will be a hit.

Overall, The Little Mermaid promises to be a magical and nostalgic trip under the sea, and a must-see for fans of the original film and Disney in general.
