To me, she just sounded like Melissa doing her same old shtick*. Here's to hoping I'm wrong though!!

I had said that after people were so upset about the lack of trailer at the Superbowl, that there would be little bits and pieces revealed up until the full trailer on Oscar night.
This is a piece. I am going to guess we'll see more bits and pieces and some magazine covers before the big trailer on March 12.
Looks great!

This remake does not preclude other opportunities.
As a Little Mermaid superfan, I for one am really looking forward to it!

Yeah it's not a burning of the books situation with the remakes. It's a different look. The originals are still out there. This one is really the last one of its kind-the last of the renaissance era remakes. Everyone knew that they'd do this one and they've been working on it for several years. Halle looks and sounds phenomenal and really seems the capture the entire spirit of Ariel. McCarthy will be great too and will add some humor to her role. Not sure what Sebastian will look like but I am extremely happy with the choice of casting Daveed Diggs.

ANOTHER teaser??? We already got one months ago. DROP A TRAILER ALREADY. Quit playing with us.

I’m just here to see how long it takes to completely implode again. We’re off to a pretty good start already.
I don't want to kvetch, but it's "shtick," bubala. No big whoop.

Could you clarify what you mean?
I thought it was pretty obvious, sorry. My point is that Disney Plus was not around for Live Action Beauty and the Beast. Cinderella really started it.
Dumbo fizzled and now Disney Plus is available.
This has the love of the animated classic going for it like Beauty and The Beast, but seems more on par with what Pinocchio and Dumbo did.

I don’t think we know enough about it to say which of the existing live-action remakes it’ll resemble in quality and/or appeal, but I agree that the existence of Disney+ complicates matters.

Much of the teaser relates to the “Part of Your World” sequence, which is dark in the original film too. There are some very bright and vibrant scenes included also (around where Ariel interacts with the blowfish).

I think this is the perfect movie to get families in cinemas. Big budget, and The Little Mermaid.
I just can’t see it not attracting an audience.

I’ve given up trying to predict things these days, but I hope you’re right!

It is definitely unpredictable these days, but this seems like the sort of film that audiences would want to see on a big screen.
We shall see.

It will be interesting to see the full trailer as that was the first thing I thought as well. I hope it isn't like that for all the underwater scenes.
I would be absolutely shocked if it doesn't do well. Aladdin, beast and Lion King all did well from a money standpoint but were all awful. So I can't see this one being the outlier for the Renaissance films. It's why Disney keeps doing them. It's low hanging fruit.
