Are you saying that to make fun of my concern? Because I don’t want live action remakes replace animated versions Of these animated classics.
I was not making fun of your concern, I was simply making an opportune joke. Your concern is fine!

On one hand, replacing Ariel with black Ariel would be dumb. On the other hand, having both Ariel and black Ariel out at the same time is dumb. Really, there's no winning here, but thankfully I don't care. The movie looks depressing and I don't even enjoy meet'n'greets, nor am I even going to Disneyland this year. Sometimes I really wonder why I even spend time reading about topics that don't concern me in the slightest.

I'm tired of all the live action remakes of animated classics. That said, Halle Bailey seems well cast and has a beautiful youthful voice. In 50 years, the animated classics will remain. The live action remakes will go the way of "Cinderella 47"- no one will care or remember.

It is actually quite possible that some or all the remakes will gain popularity in the future. Just because we don’t like them, it doesn’t mean the’ll fade into oblivion.

The generation who grew up with the direct to DVD sequels think of a lot of them as underrated classics. I myself really like the Cinderella 3's and Mulan 2's of the world; I won't be surprised if some people will think of the live actions in a similar way.

Just about timing to advertise the new movie. If only Halle Bailey did full time meet and great, it be a Instagram moment every second. 😄

I’m not a fan of swapping characters but I watched a few videos and have to admit it was cool seeing how much this meant to many of the people meeting her.

Disney has kind of created a situation now, do they make this permanent to give more people this experience (and have 2 Ariel’s in the park), remove the original Ariel and risk a political firestorm, or keep this temporary and deny people the opportunity?

Seeing how important this is to people makes me a little more excited for Tianas additions but it also makes me wish they’d created a new story and given the parks a permanent new character.

This also makes me want to see Joe from Soul in the parks.

Its funny I would say do live action characters in DCA at Hollywoodland but that would still be confusing since thats where we actually have a Little Mermaid attraction.

I don’t think there will be much confusion. It’ll be interesting to see bc from what I can tell, TLM remake seems to be the only one that may stay relevant outside of the year it was released.

Pretty cool how accurate the casting looks to the film counterpart. It's good to see Disney faithfully adapting the source material, especially when it comes to the way the character looks.

Just came out of the film and I'd say it's up there with Cinderella as one of Disney's better live-action remakes for sure. Can't wait to see this meet and greet in person myself (and I wish we got the stage show DLP got!).
