The line that always got me was when Triton says something along the lines of: "You shouldn't of had to give up your voice to be heard." My parents never pay my words any mind and expect me to fall in line. This made me feel validated that someone saw my side of it.
I'm glad it helped you. I felt that way. Well, still do. Sometimes it gets better and sometimes people don't see their errors. That's why I like "found family" troupes.
I also like Eric’s song. Also they knew what they were doing during that song getting him soaking wet in that old fashion white shirt. Like DAMN. they did that for the girlies.
I think the original did it better by having her curiosity and spirit be what connects them. He thought she was pretty at first and just wanted to give her a tour, then they spent the day doing what she wanted together. Dancing, seeing the horses, the puppets. When they survived the jump and the ride calmed down, he even felt more comfortable around her to lean back and let her keep driving.
@@StefonTV1 The original did a horrible job at portraying them falling in love. They both got their motives/reasons as to why they pursued each other, and it never felt genuine. Eric's motivation is finding the girl with the voice who saved his life. Ariel's motivation is getting the prince to kiss her so she can keep her legs permanently. Before the "kiss the girl" number & even during we see Ariel bored as hell in Eric's presence. Having Ariel forget her motives to seek out the prince in the live action was a necessary and much better change. It made their bond genuine, and we saw them fall in love in real time and not thru a montage like the original.
Fun fact: on the DVD of The Little Mermaid they showed deleted scenes from how they developed the movie. They used dancers to set up Under The Sea, it was quite interesting actually. The bloopers were hilarious as well. I love watching behind the scenes for movies
Gurl u can’t be saying that the Scuttlebutt was your favorite song out of every song. 😂 especially with Halle’s vocals! p.s. it was hilarious you keep wanting to eat Sebastian in the beginning. And also The actress for Vanessa is so underrated she acted so well. I think it was the best acting out of everyone in this movie.
I liked the live action version (despite its shortcomings) and saw it on my birthday. I had a great time! Halle Bailey is the voice of a generation, there’s great chemistry between the leads (Jonah Hauer King is beautiful and great screen presence) and Melissa McCarthy amps up the camp. Also, for all the haters, The OG Ariel had given Halle Bailey her blessing and if that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is.
Oh you poor thing. You've been brainwashed just like everybody else. You think Jodi giving her blessing for this monstrocity makes it any better? It doesn't change the fact that Disney played you all like fiddles. They wanted a black Ariel so that they could pander to modern audiences as well as black audiences to hopefully make as much money as possible. This movie has so many things wrong with it but you aren't allowed to say one bad word about it (even if it's legitimate) or you're accused of being a racist. They thought being "inclusive" and "diverse" would distract people from the movie's flaws. Don't you understand? They never wanted Halle for her talent. They only wanted her for her race. They used her as a shield and it's sad that no one can see that.
@@truthseeker9249 Man, you really let their comment get under your skin, didn’t you? People are allowed to like a movie; even if you don’t like it, that’s your opinion. Why are you wasting time watching a review for a movie you don’t even like? 😂
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I saw this movie in theaters and truly was so happy to see a black girl as a mermaid. Truly made me so happy to see black girl magic. Halle did phenomenal 💜🧜♀️
right! lol I had fun with that song and thought it had a fun/catchy beat, then I was watching/reading reviews afterwards and everyone hated it! I felt like I was delusional 😂
I think the problem with it is how random it is and compared to the tracks we know and even some of the new ones a bit of a disconect that feels like it shouldn't belong there
It's my favourite song in the whole movie 😂 I'm of the generation when some ppl were still throwing rice at weddings but I knew it was bad for the birds so when we got married in 2007 I insisted on having bubbles for people to blow at us instead, and I tell you, when Scuttle was singing that part"They're tryna blow up the pigeons!" I squeaked and then laughed and laughed 🤣😂🤣
I love that ariel sings more in under the sea but it’s also so funny to me causes she’s getting into it and singing with them as if she ain’t going straight to ursula when it’s done 😭😭
This adaption was actually pretty fun! I think my favorite performances were Ursula, Ariel and Eric. I'm sorry but I hated the Scuttle butt song. It felt so unnecessary to me. 😂 All in all, I think I'd defenitily include this among my list of good live action adaptions next to Cinderella, Maleficent, Cruella, Beauty and the Beast and the 1996 101 Dalmatians.
Fun fact: when my family and I went to the movie theaters to watch The Little Mermaid (I watched the movie twice in theaters) everyone applauded near the end of the credits cause everyone LOVED the movie. It was AMAZING!!!
The interesting thing about this movie is that when I was little, because Prince Eric was an animated character (and I was never crazy about boys either), I actually never had a crush on Prince Eric. But in this movie, I fell in love with Prince Eric, not just him, but what Jonah Hauer-King brought to the character and his and Ariel's shared interest in learning about other cultures and exploring. That's why she fell in love with him. I was weary of how they were gonna do "Under the Sea" with all the sea creatures being CGI, but when I saw this in theaters, I was genuinely blown away by the stunning visuals and choreography. I LOVE "Wild Uncharted Waters"! It's such a great song and Jonah Hauer-King's voice is gorgeous, it gives me chills! 11:03 Exactly! When I watched both the animated version and this film, I thought (to Triton): "Why would destroying her treasures make her want to respect you MORE?! That's just gonna make her hate you and avoid you even more! Now she REALLY won't wanna obey you and listen to your rules!" Then Triton acts all surprised when he finds her missing, he's like, "What?! Why would she run away?" If I was Ariel, that would solidify the fact that I wouldn't want to be in the undersea world/anywhere that my dad would be. Of course she would want to get away from Triton.
I feel so vindicated seeing someone else that DOESN’T hate the Scuttle Butt song. I get why people find it annoying but I thought it was cute 🤷🏽♀️ And I was right there with you about Ariel’s dress being “dusty”. Halle is so beautiful, but the costumes were lacking.
I agree on the dress but I think part of it is to say beauty and money is not what makes one fall in love. You love them for their personality. Though I agree a new dress would have been nice for the ending. I think scuttlebutt is slightly funny but for many of us who don’t like it, it just wasn’t necessary in our opinion and it doesn’t fit well with the other songs vibes if you know what I mean
@@mandarinclemmie No. He was an expert sailor and he loved his dog Max. He was also a musician himself, remember him always playing his flute? Most important of all, he risked his life to save Ariel. Technically TWICE! Cause first he rowed all the way out to the middle of the ocean to try get to Ariel and then he actually dove under water and threw a harpoon at Ursula cutting her arm when she was about to attack Ariel. He put himself at risk of drowning and he attacked a POWERFUL SEA WITCH to protect Ariel the only way he knew how. Then of course the obvious time where he killed Ursula to save Ariel. She saved his life and then he saved hers, an eye for an eye. He fawned over the pretty girl but also did a lot to prove he was worthy of her. Especially getting to know her past her looks and her beautiful voice.
There’s really no excuse that Ariel was that sprung besides hearing him talk about his passions which were like hers but Eric being obsessed and his song is because Ariel’s song was unintentionally a Siren song that cursed him to be obsessed with the voice. Which is why he goes to the voice in the end even though he’s fallen for voiceless Ariel.
12:34 Oh boy where do I start with this. Rob Marshall did this so that Ariel and Eric's relationship goes more natural and not planned. She will slowly like him for who he is and not because she needs to get that kiss. There's an article about it with Insider, little things they added to the film.
I love Eric's song so much, just the right amount of drama and musical theatre. I've been playing it on spotify so much it's bound to show up in my end of the year wrapped. I also love how they filmed that scene, with Eric moving like he's being pulled to and from the ocean (i.e. Ariel), also Ariel's vocals eerily in the background like a siren, I just love it. Also totally agree with you on Eric's character. He's def not unseasoned chicken, he's so wholesome and just a nice guy. And he looks adorable imo. I love me some Flynn Rider but a disney prince doesn't HAVE to be flirty and cocky to be attractive.
9:23 I love Eric song, I mean it isn’t a Disney song it’s obviously theatrical but it’s also an added song so it’s fine and honestly I feel like this actor probably recorded this in one go😂 but he’s wonderful, perfect to even for the role and he is British, the accent totally makes every key change work somehow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I mean the man has dimples
8:40 it doesn’t really make sense though how she sings in under the sea cause it’s showing she enjoys the sea rather than leaving. Also wild uncharted waters was amazing and he was “in love” cause Ariel used her siren song/when she sings to ppl it makes them fall in love cause she is a siren
The beggining with this waves and the saying was so beautiful and special. We didn't expect that. I just wanted to watch this movie even more after this beggining.
My only beef is they changed Skuttle. Great actress that voiced the live action version, I just personally enjoyed the neurotic old man skuttle was in the original
They did Eric so dirty in this movie, especially the ending.😢 It feels like Eric does less in this movie then in the animated version. And he barely did anything in that movie.😂
I love this movie definitely in my top 3 fav live action remakes. Cinderella will always be my top fav tho. Also love how they added more to Eric’s character by giving him a background story. Love Ariel’s pink and her blue dresses. I so want to have those two dresses so bad, they’re so cute! Part of your world & reprise, for the first time, and uncharted waters are def my fav songs from this movie. Hailie Bailey singing voice is amazing! Everyone did an amazing job! Love the video! You do an amazing job!
With the two times I saw it theaters , I’ve seen it about 8 times now. It was my favorite movie of this past summer. Halle is beyond amazing in this role.
🥰🫶🏽 I think the kiss at the end is to keep the tension between the characters high, I feel it’s important for their to be tension during certain moments. After all remember it’s the whole row boat scene that is the romantic part not the kiss. The kiss is the end (of the tension)
the little mermaid has always been my favourite movie from when i was a kid and i was so scared they would mess up the live action but i actually loved it it. halles voice was incredible for ariel
I think the only thing that bothers me is that Eric doesnt steer the ship that ends Ursula. Arile saved Eric from drowning, Eric saves her from Ursula- it felt complete and in a way, showed Trition that humans arent that bad if given the chance
At the end of the day, it’s a movie for children; and I have to be honest, I didn’t make that connection when I was a child. I thought the dad gave in at the end because he realized his daughter was miserable. It never occurred to me that the moment Eric saved Ariel was supposed to help her dad realize humans aren’t that bad. I just thought he’d learned to trust his daughter’s judgment and let her make her own way.
Omg Iv been waiting for this reaction 🤣🤣 Prince Eric Definitely earned his flowers for me in this live action and tbh the whole movie has me. Like I saw beauty & the beast like 12 time in theaters no cap 👏 this one I only got 5 cuz they don’t have them running more than 6 weeks now 😑. Fav Part was her coming up OUT THAT WATER TO THE FIREWORKS & seeing Prince Ericon the ship & THE FALL FROM THE CASTLE 🏰 👏🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 as a huge ass fan of LoTR that fall is up there. But they get a A- only b/c they Cut The Crab Song, that was always my favorite part of the animated version and not adding that really shook me in theaters the first time, and Ursula missing a song 😑 Anyway I rambled and I love ur channel 👏😎 thank u for ur reactions they make me crack up 🤣🫡
You should review and learn about the unfinished animated film "The Thief and The Cobbler: Recobbled cut Mark 4". Such a (unfinished) masterpiece of a film, it's available for free on RUclips in its original version
maybe be a bit more respectful? you already asked her if she was going to watch the second movie and she said she MIGHT, but you keep asking/demanding it…. maybe just let it go.
Yesssss!!! So happy to see this XD I ended up loving the live action version way more than I expected!!! (The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites growing up) I liked almost all the tweaks, additions, etc. I wish they'd kept the aspect showing the other merfolk get free of Ursula at the end, but otherwise really liked everything. LOVED the fleshed out Ariel-Eric dynamic, and I really liked Eric's song!!! I'm also glad you enjoyed Scuttlebutt - I know it's gotten a fair amount of hate, but I thought it was really fun too! XD I get why people feel some way about Flounder, but I actually don't mind how he looks. I think there's something to be said for kind of learning how to empathize more with animals in movies when they look more like animals instead of being altered to seem more cartoonish or emote in a more human centric way, if that makes sense. Was so fun overall watching this reaction!! XD
The original movie came out when I was seven. I got a huge crush on Sebastian because of his accent and singing. I don't know if Ursula took her memory in the original story, but no they didn't do that in the 1989 movie.
hii lakia !! im a big fan , I have been about a year now and I💮 really think that you would really enjoy the show derry girls . it's really fun and a reaction of it would be so fun ! anyways great video as always 💖💖
I’m so happy you did this reaction I rather see a black woman uplift another black woman than a old white man *coughs* nostalgia critic talk down on this movie. Plus you rightbprince Eric deserves to be him
"am i the only one whos likes this song?" GIRL NO I LOVE THIS SONG AS WELL!!!!! IDC IF IM 13 I LOVE THIS SONG 1. Part of your world 2. Under the SEAAAAAAA 3. POOR UNFROTENT SOUL!!! in pain in need! POOR UNFORTENTE SOUL 4. Uncharted waters!!

I think the only thing that bothers me is that Eric doesnt steer the ship that ends Ursula. Arile saved Eric from drowning, Eric saves her from Ursula- it felt complete and in a way, showed Trition that humans arent that bad if given the chance
for me i think its better that ariel was the one to end ursula because it was her problem at the start and she be the one to end it.
@@yreva9882 I guess? I don't really feel the same way but I can see what you mean.
it’s important for girls/women to save themselves sometimes 🩷
At the end of the day, it’s a movie for children; and I have to be honest, I didn’t make that connection when I was a child. I thought the dad gave in at the end because he realized his daughter was miserable. It never occurred to me that the moment Eric saved Ariel was supposed to help her dad realize humans aren’t that bad. I just thought he’d learned to trust his daughter’s judgment and let her make her own way.
@@notamberpbruh but not every single time in a movie like cmon
14:52 I was so giggling and kicking, and hitting my siblings shoulder when we watched this.😂
I love your reaction to live action Disney little mermaid. This so very amazing.
Your reaction when you saw flounder 😭
Ariels sisters: Tameka, Yu, Clara, Indria, Mail, other people.
THANK GOD i'm not the only one who liked Scuttlebut
(I still waiting for the aladdin one)
It's not the live action version, it's THEEEEEEE live action version!
prince eric defense squad let’s gooooo ✨
Omg Iv been waiting for this reaction 🤣🤣 Prince Eric Definitely earned his flowers for me in this live action and tbh the whole movie has me. Like I saw beauty & the beast like 12 time in theaters no cap 👏 this one I only got 5 cuz they don’t have them running more than 6 weeks now 😑. Fav Part was her coming up OUT THAT WATER TO THE FIREWORKS & seeing Prince Ericon the ship & THE FALL FROM THE CASTLE 🏰 👏🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 as a huge ass fan of LoTR that fall is up there. But they get a A- only b/c they Cut The Crab Song, that was always my favorite part of the animated version and not adding that really shook me in theaters the first time, and Ursula missing a song 😑 Anyway I rambled and I love ur channel 👏😎 thank u for ur reactions they make me crack up 🤣🫡
A lot of ppl hate that song with scuttle but I liked it too😂 like maybe it was a bit long but it had me dancing
I loved the live action Little Mermaid I also loved that Triton and Ersala where sibilings
This movie is so underrated but not nearly as good as the original. Also i can’t wait for descendants 2 and 3
It’s the flounder talk at the end for me 🤣🤣🤣
You should review and learn about the unfinished animated film "The Thief and The Cobbler: Recobbled cut Mark 4". Such a (unfinished) masterpiece of a film, it's available for free on RUclips in its original version
Not you singing "water" at the start, girl, I love that song too.
I STILL WANT AVATAR
i think she did react to it ...
She already did right?
maybe be a bit more respectful? you already asked her if she was going to watch the second movie and she said she MIGHT, but you keep asking/demanding it…. maybe just let it go.
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
@@Nenestarz oh ya sorry kinda got carried away lol
U singing water is just perfect 😭❤
I really enjoyed this remake. I'm watching the 1989 one right now.
That's my husband right there both versions 😂
Prince Eric is so babygorl ‼️‼️‼️
Yesssss!!! So happy to see this XD I ended up loving the live action version way more than I expected!!! (The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites growing up) I liked almost all the tweaks, additions, etc. I wish they'd kept the aspect showing the other merfolk get free of Ursula at the end, but otherwise really liked everything. LOVED the fleshed out Ariel-Eric dynamic, and I really liked Eric's song!!! I'm also glad you enjoyed Scuttlebutt - I know it's gotten a fair amount of hate, but I thought it was really fun too! XD I get why people feel some way about Flounder, but I actually don't mind how he looks. I think there's something to be said for kind of learning how to empathize more with animals in movies when they look more like animals instead of being altered to seem more cartoonish or emote in a more human centric way, if that makes sense. Was so fun overall watching this reaction!! XD
erik’s song made it onto my most listened to of the last year… 😅
The original movie came out when I was seven.
I got a huge crush on Sebastian because of his accent and singing.
I don't know if Ursula took her memory in the original story, but no they didn't do that in the 1989 movie.
hii lakia !! im a big fan , I have been about a year now and I💮 really think that you would really enjoy the show derry girls . it's really fun and a reaction of it would be so fun ! anyways great video as always 💖💖

GIRL Ive been waiting for this one!! Omg im ready cant wait to watch

As a South African 🇿🇦 it made me so happy to hear you singing water by tyla
I’m so happy you did this reaction I rather see a black woman uplift another black woman than a old white man *coughs* nostalgia critic talk down on this movie. Plus you rightbprince Eric deserves to be him
"am i the only one whos likes this song?"

I think you should do a movie reaction to elemental. Such an amazing movie.
6:04 I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks it looks weird when she dies that 💀
At the beginning though that's a great SWONG
