Nooooooooooooo! That is the best part on the ride. The goat with the dynamite in mouth.

Ya’ll would not be screaming and crying #NotMyAriel if they had cast a blonde or brunette white woman.

Halle Bailey was cast due to her talent, plain and simple. It’s hilarious because the actresses people have been rooting for are not only non-readheads, but they’re not vocalists either.

Brunettes are better than redheads anyway.

Oh my Gosh...

We Wants the Redhead!

And seriously, I have always had a major thing for Redheads for my entire life. When I met my wife, she was a redhead, well, dyed, but still a nice, natural red.

But my first main love was a natural ginger, and we still keep in touch.

I’m a strictly attracted to Jennifer Connelly. That’s it.

Isn't Halle Berry a little old to be playing Aerial?

I'd rather see a new take on the Little Mermaid with a talented actress--of any color--with a great singing voice in the lead role than a cut-and-paste attempt to recreate the look of the animated film.

Seriously, if you want original Ariel, watch original Ariel. Do you REALLY want to see just another bad attempt at recreating what's already been done? The ONLY way these films can *not suck* is by doing their own thing, finding their own style and giving us something NEW.
(EDIT)
But not new like Sweeny Todd Dumbo.

Didn't you hear? Big Thunder Mountain is going to get a Pride Rock overlay this fall

This just in: The Big Thunder overlay is a no-go. Rumor is an exec remembered "Afternoon Avenue" and pitched a similar cheap cash-grab to the brass as an alternative. So we're getting "Mufasa Motorway" in TL, complete with lion-head hood ornaments on the Autopia cars and plywood animal cutouts along the track retelling the story to create a "fresh and compelling journey through a classic tale." Most of the budget went to a 3-week Africa "research trip" to get the project heads in the proper mood to work their magic.

Who have people been rooting for out of curiosity?

Emma Stone or bust.

Pretty disappointed to hear its essentially a shot-for-shot remake.
Also, as predicted, the lack of human emotions coming through CGI animals is noticeable.

But generally positive visuals overall. Sounds like another easy payday.

Hey! In all fairness, that post is in line with the title of this thread!

Ariana Grande (she’s an exception), Selena Gomez (lol), Jessica Chastain, and a few others. But these are the main gals I’ve been seeing. Emma Stone as well.

I wouldn't mind seeing any of them playing a mermaid.... I'll just leave it at that.
