Looks like I was right about feeling something was missing from the scene, and it seems to be along the lines of what I was thinking:

Saw it in 3D for the rewatch, I noticed no issues 🤷♂️
In fact it was refreshing as my cousins were mesmerized by 3D - for reference they seldom go to the movies and immigrated to the states a few years ago from Cuba. Not sure what drove them to want to watch Little Mermaid, but not complaining!
After rewatching the film today one of my biggest wishes was a song for King Triton, I think it would have been perfect to encapsulate the grief and sorrow he feels about losing Ariel and could have connected back to her mother. Definitely would feel appropriate in the scene after Triton's...
I believe they meant domestically. I would like to point out that most of the top ten films in theaters right now underperformed expectations this weekend it was not just Mermaid but the insustry as a whole.
Since the theaters have reopened what original films have done well? First that comes...
I think similar to how Poppins Returns inched towards profitability this film will at worse perform just under what it needs to break even but merchandising well help it cover lost ground
Perhaps some of the issue stems from 2016's The Mermaid, a Chinese made film that tackles the Little Mermaid mythos alongside holding the title for highest grossing Chinese film of all time for a short stint. Chinese audiences recently got their live-action modern take on mermaid, and many may...
When I was kid I knew the difference between live-action and animated versions such as 101 Dalmatians and Jungle Book. It truly isn't that difficult. I honestly had a harder time telling apart Aurora and Cinderella 🤷♂️
Perhaps if it is a very young child when they're like four or younger ...
There are only three places you can see Ariel as a mermaid outside of an attraction:
- Ariel's Grotto: A custom built meet and greet location that allows for this to happen.
- Festival of Fantasy
- Fantasmic
As other posters have mentioned this was likely to help differentiate her from the MK...
Screens often have time issues in photos, does seem temporary - if I were to guess this meet and greet came from the film's marketing like when Disney would routinely have meet and greets with the latest characters
The true injsutice is that the soundtrack of the film doesn’t include much of these beautiful pieces of score, the one you mentioned in particular I sought out to listen to but to no avail as I couldn’t find it. Unless I missed it - also very possible
Following Thursday night previews…
A decent 70 seems to be sticking for critics and a phenomenal 95% for audiences has crept up. Lets see if that continues, and honestly it should stay positive as it was truly a delight
My showing strangely did not have any for Elemental I did see some for some Lions Gate movie called White Bird maybe, The Marvels, Haunted Mansion, Ruby Gillman, Spiderverse, Wish and Barbie the obvious hero of the summer box office.
