Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

She has a great voice, but it shouldn't take 5 seconds to sing the word "be"...

I understand your point, but...

1. You're seeing just a clip of the end of the song and not the word sung in context, which is...
2. An accented syllable at the end of a lyrical line which rhymes with the previous line...
3. And is a big rallentando and ritardando (slowing the tempo and doing it more and more so) in preparation for...
4. The punchline of the song ("part of that world").

All those points support an extended stay on that syllable.

It would tho, indeed be incredible awkward, if done for each time that refrain comes around.

An extended stay is one thing -- but she's not only staying longer than I prefer, but she's riding all the elevators and running up and down the stairs in the process.

I'd be more impressed if she had just worked some emotion into the word instead of flexing her vocal range.

It's not her fault -- I blame Celine Dion and other artists who seem more inclined to search for a note than just sing the song.

You've never been a fan of anything, if you're willing change her at the drop of a hat. Just so moneygrubbing Disney can check off a few boxes.

Halle Bailey does not look like Ariel at all. So she shouldn't play her, simple as that.

Ariel wasn't described by HCA as anything other than having smooth skin so exactly how does she not look like Ariel? What exactly does a mermaid look like?

Have you seen the 1989 animated movie? The new movie is based on that one, you're welcome.

They could have made her purple and it still wouldn't have had anything to do with skin color.

Excuse you. If they remade the movie exactly like the original, there would be no reason to remake it at all. Luckily, there is a perfect solution for you: DON’T GO.

Yep, really!

The Book version is completely different than the Disney version. And the latter one is what they are going with. So any discussion about the book and it's contents is unrelated. Disney has always tried to make their interpretations more kid friendly for obvious reasons.

Thanks for informing me about something I already know.

Yup because you tube likes and dislikes is an accurate way of telling how good a film not even released yet will do ...

Nowadays I trust the fans more than the unprofessional critics.

And the new movie features a black actress playing Ariel.

Get over it.

Ah, but the comments are brutal, and focusing on the lack of originality. Disney's curtain has fallen, and everyone sees the man behind the curtain.

No one cares about the race of the actress. Stop playing the race card to create some sort of controverse. It's another redo live action remake / rebrand attempt to grab a few dollars then move it to D+.

Plenty of people care about Halle being black, including the person I responded to and folks like this:

Don’t be so naive, and go back and read their posts. Stop accusing me of playing the “race card” and pay attention.

Boy, if I hated everything about Disney, I think I would find another hobby.

Let's see when it's released what the fans say. Not bot generated clicks

Its going to get review bombed by racists and people who say it doesnt look like Ariel but they’re not racist, they swear

Audience ratings, YouTube likes or dislikes for trailers, they mean nothing anymore now that idiots go on and do that, idiots who don’t even care or watch the movie, and just want to make everyone who cares about or worked on a production feel like crap.

The same can be said for the opposite side. The ones that still say She-Hulk's CGI looks awesome.

 

[Jedijax719]

Here's the way I see it. If Disney fans of the animated films are upset about the remakes, then they shouldn't watch them. The classics are still there. If a person is a big Disney fan and cares that much, they probably have D+ and can watch ALL the classics anytime and as much as they want.

If someone isn't a Disney fan, they should find someone else to bother. I don't watch the Fantastic Four movies so nobody is going to find me complaining about anything they do.
