HaHa have you seen the announcement for the new Star Wars movie, its all about Mareeee Suuuuuuu Rey Palps herself stealer of surnames and destroyer of franchises and childhood memories. Just what we need another movie about an OP strong Wahman who cant keep her lips closed for 2 god damn 2nds.
3:15 That was actually racist of you. "Allahu Akbar"? He isn't an Arab and even if he was. Imagine someone says "go eat your fried chicken and collect your welfare" for you simply being black. I agree with the rest of the video, but I can't excuse that from you. Also, haven't you heard of mixed race people? Her mother can be black and her dad Spanish.
Not only is Sebastian so unappealing to look at (Seriously, what kid would want a doll that looks like THAT?), but it's also the fact that Disney turned him into a Ghost Crab, a land dwelling crab who can't go underwater. He has a musical number called "Under the Sea" But his kind can't breathe *_UNDER THE SEA!!_*
Man, Disney literally CANNOT be bothered to put in the effort anymore. Just look at the last live-action remake they've evacuated from their collective buttocks, where they actually filmed scenes on the land belonging to a CHINESE CONCENTRATION CAMP and then THANKED THEM for the privilege in the end credits!!!
@@alfa1134 They can no longer be a**ed to even try anymore. It makes all those animated sequels they churned out look like Shakespeare. So help me God, if they make a Goofy Movie in live action...
Which is hilarious, because many pirates were ex-slaves who took up piracy to escape. White and black slaves who became pirates even bonded due to that fact. It’s funny how diversity seems to be really selective, isn’t it?
same with Velma, « race doesn’t matter » but Fred being white is important because otherwise, how could the creators bitch about « rich white men with a tiny d… » ?
@@reginaphalange9417 Velma is not how the real Velma would act,she would not hate Fred and Fred would not be a jerk,it's not the characters that I grew up with.
The lost boys were little baby boys that fell out of their strollers. The reason there aren’t girl children is because they were ‘too smart’ (or something along those lines) to let that happen. So they’re essentially insulting those girls 😂
funny that they're changing the song "Kiss the Girl" to be concenting for Ariel, when it was Ariel in the original who tried to kiss him first and he rejected it. people really are making up their own history.
Did they not WATCH the original?? Of course Ariel wanted him to kiss her, mainly because to save her LIFE!! Because she struck a deal with Ursula that if she kissed him, her voice will return and she’ll be a human forever. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT??!
So annoying when blackivists immediately label you racist for thinking its weird Ariel is black. If Disney really cared about representation, they'd make a story about the black mermaid from the show and write an original story. It's not that it's a black mermaid, the problem is that it's a black *Ariel*. I keep hearing "but Disney cast Halle because she's best for the role!" That's BS. They didn't cast Belle correctly either because Emma Watson can't sing worth a damn and looks like a tomboy. They miscast genie with Will Smith, as his acting isn't nearly as bombastic as Robin Williams. Halle can sing but she doesn't look remotely like the character. Would you cast ScarJoe as Storm? Ryan Gosling as Blade?
Oh good, I'm not the only one who thought Emma Watson as Belle was a horrible miscast... along with the dude who played the Beast. They had ZERO chemistry together, none even by themselves, and the guy who played Gaston was the only highlight of the film. It was a complete waste of a film.
As I said during the Percy Jackson tv casting, your job first and foremost as a casting director is to find actors who both embody the personality of the character AND look like them. If you’re telling me that there wasn’t a single child star that could play Annabeth AND looked like her book counterpart your either a) bad at your job, or b) lying to me. That being said, people shit on me for being frustrated by the Annabeth casting but guess what I am frustrated by the Percy casting too. Wanna know why? Cuz he’s BLONDE. They made him BLONDE. He isn’t blonde he has black hair and sea green eyes, if you can’t do your job properly don’t do it at all folks. When they first announced the actor I was like “ok…he’s blonde…ok well filming hasn’t started yet.” Then they began to release bts photos and he was still blonde “ok maybe he’s wearing a wig? Or maybe they haven’t filmed his scenes yet?” Then they release the teaser. He’s fricking BLONDE. I also had people telling me “well her (Annabeth’s) race isn’t important to her character so it’s fine!” Bitch, Beckendorff’s race isn’t a part of HIS character but you’d be livid if they cast a white actor to play him so don’t even. I’m so done with Disney and their antics
I will defend their choice of Will Smith... Certainly he couldn't do it the same WAY as Robin Williams... But Will Smith can play a hype-man and that is what a Genie needs to do. I don't doubt for a second he played genie because he was the best person they could think of. . However, that said, his "Prince Alee" song was just... lifeless. He is supposed to be making his master look like a god amongst men and playing the crowd, the song is a performance even MORE so than it is a song. Certainly sounds good, but there was more to it than that. But that is the problem with the direction of the movie (and possibly Will Smith just... outgrown that role)
@@Nionivek and to be honest, Aladdin credits song is much more appropriate and suitable for his own genie than the main one (which try to replicate late Robin Williams)
Woke blacktivist zoomers: "When I was growing up, The Little Mermaid was a very important film to me! I could imagine that I was Ariel!" The same people: "Now that we race-swapped Ariel, black girls will finally be able to relate to her and enjoy The Little Mermaid"
Literally, it makes no freaking sense. All the shows that were up on in the 90s like “Codename kids next-door.” Only number five was black but I liked all of the characters I don’t understand why we have to race swap people just to make “apparently” Black people feel seen it’s stupid.
I can't imagine how white kids will feel when they get older if childhood representation is this important for their psychology. The pendulum swing is gonna be crazy.
There has to be some fairytale or folklore from *somewhere* that could believably feature black characters, right??? Hell, why don't they just remake Princess and the Frog, and then have Tiana be a person for longer, since that's an issue people already have with the animated movie - it'd be cheap and uninspired, but they're clearly ok with that. I'm all for exploring stories from/based on different cultures, and more diverse casting and all that, but race-swapping is the laziest way of doing that, and kind of tells black people that they're just an afterthought, like, "hey, this movie with a white lead is due for a reboot, let's hire a black actor this time", instead of coming up with an original movie to cast them in, in all that time they had in between.
Yeah, it’s a good scene. I love how she went “it’s Wendin’ time” and Wended all over the pirates. That sounds so wrong without the context of the “Morbin Time” joke.
@@barzalonerboyy oh my God, this sounds so dirty Wended all over the pirates? WTF bro The part that got me is Wendy started a protest for free abortions right after punching Captain hook in the face for not employing women in his team
The whole point of the Lost Boys was showing how immature and inept they are without a woman around. Without a mother-figure to guide them, they lived in squalor. Once Wendy came into the picture, in the original story, she taught them how to be organised, clean, and self sufficient, to the point that their leader, Peter Pan, started to wonder if growing up truly was a bad thing. Peter literally invites Wendy to Neverland with the expectation that she'll play a motherly role, something the boy's are seriously lacking. The reason Peter becomes enamored with Wendy in the first place is because he'd fly by her window every night and listen to Mrs. Darling (Wendy's mother) tell her kids bedtime stories, a tradition Wendy carried on when her mother fell ill. He never got that parental connection, and because of that he didn't want to become an adult. Later on, when Wendy and her brothers become painfully homesick, Peter returns everyone to London, including the Lost Boys he basically kidnapped, and they get adopted by Mrs. Darling. Despite everything he's learned, Peter still can't bring himself to become a man and returns to Neverland alone. Years later, he returns to Wendy with the hope that she'll go back to Neverland with him, as he's lonely, but she's now an adult and married to one of the former Lost Boys, with whom she has a daughter named Jane.
Wow, that's so sad yet bitter-sweet. I guess those are the consequences for Peter's actions but at least the kids he returned got to live their life 🥹.
@@lovelycloudyskies The lost boys were between 7 and 12. Wendy was 12-13. Assuming she married the oldest Lost Boy (it's never stated), it's not actually that weird and pretty typical for the time period.
I've heard people claim that Disney should remake those movies. They already did a bad job remaking their classics. What makes them so sure they won't screw up the underrated gems too? Especially since I loved Atlantis, and I don't want them to remake that as well.
Disney casting the heroes: "Anyone is accepted, even if we have to pretend slavery and racism never existed." Disney casting the villains (unleess they get a redemption arc): "No POC need apply."
Some idiot tried to argue that because there are women in the x-men team there is no reason to be upset over the lost boys having girls in them. First of all, ‘’men’’ can be used as a synonym for people, humankind. The x-men had female characters from the beginning. Peter Pan already has female representation! You have Tiger Lily, Wendy, and Tinkerbell. There is a bunch of stories with all-female groups or at least one girl in a group but as soon as there is an all-male thing Twitter screams. The explanation as to why all the lost boys were lost in the first plays is because they were stupid and hyperactive and fell off their prams. Nice going Disney, all those diverse characters were morons as babies. And it's true, everybody can be stupid, especially when they're just babies. But I can guarantee they will never show them being immature and childlike like in the original. Also, the lost boys were inspired by real boys. And I can guarantee when people learn about their tragic backstories there will be a lot of angry people. Just like after they turned Peter Pan into a villain and everybody learned about the backstory of his voice actor. Let the shitstorm begin! I'll be watching from the sideline.
Also.... It's actually a really important part of the Peter Pan story that they are only boys there. Peter Pan goes to fetch Wendy, BECAUSE the lost boys don't have a mom and lack a mother figure! They build a house for Wendy and ask her to sing lullabies for them because they want her to be their MOTHER figure. And they need to take in a girl from the outside because there's no girl among them in their group. It is actually an important part of the plot that there is no girls, and there is something seriously lacking in their lives BECAUSE of this lack of a girl who can be a mother figure. And if you ask me, this is indeed the ultimate celebration of women's role in society. All of these boys are indeed... lost... with the lack of a mother. Even all of the pirates are longing for their mothers. And Wendy's mere presence is something precious to them they wish to protect. So that is uniquely a female role that is deemed incredibly important and irreplaceable in this story... But no! NOPE! Doesn't count. it only counts when women can be strong, and fighting, I need no man people. And need to be BETTER men than actual men... Women shouldn't be women, they should be men. that's the only way to matter in this world. .... Jesus Christ.
You can also add on that the lost boys were also a representation of the boys that were "lost" during the Victorian industrial revolution. The boys that society has lost due to negligence and loss of parents.
If Disney don't call them the X-Thems, we should boycott and call them bigots. Fuck it, they want to be a meme of an entertainment company, let's force them to be a meme. I'd love a faithful adaptation of the X-men, but Disney won't do that, so let's go full fucking hog, get it over with, and call it the X-Thems.
@@MoonPhantom "Women shouldn't be women, they should be men" Kind of fits in well with the trans stuff going on at the moment. Eliminate the feminine, girls have no role models so they mutilate themselves. Men can parade their fetish in public and be lauded as "real" women.
The word "man" was actually created to refer to both genders. It used to be "wif" for woman and "wir" for man, which is where "werewolf" comes from. I wish more people realized this. That's why X-men can be both men and women.
Same with that ginger plank of wood from Falcon and Winter Soldier and Willow. She cannot act. I don’t know what Disney sees in her, because I don’t see it.
"Hook isn't supposed to be attractive." In the original story, he was depicted as attractive. Also, take a gander at Once Upon a Time's Hook...goddamn he's fine
Yeah, Hook's description in the book pins him as very conventionally attractive. Something about forget-me-not blue eyes which turn red when he wants to murder, having an aristocratic flair and putting a lot of importance on etiquette, etc.
Your commentary had me rolling lol. Disney hates redheads. I saw an article the other day saying they changed the lyrics to kiss the girls because it wasn’t appropriate anymore. I’m truly exhausted. They also added more songs to the new Little Mermaid so Lin Miranda Manuel could have a job should have spent that money on that awful CGI. Stop with the live action remakes. No one wants them.
Seriously. It was cute with Maleficent and Alice in Wonderland, but I'm so sick of modern disney at this point it's not even funny. It's no longer magical anymore,and everything has to be a politically correct agenda with their movies now.
@@sissysovereign1294 Maleficent didn’t really need a traumatic backstory, so it was kinda pointless. Alice in Wonderland was unique. The dragon and Alice suddenly becoming a warrior made no sense, but atleast it was decent.
If you notice, there's a pattern of redheaded characters being mostly replaced by Black characters/actors, as if there's a meaning behind it, like I don't know, if someone rearranged the word Ginger...
People are trained like dogs at this point! Disney puts out a trailer for their remake with all the race and sex changes front and center. Some people love it. Some people hate it. Controversy ensues! The trailer is dunked on. ''Give it a chance!'' people start to defend the movie. The movie comes out and is just as bad as every other remake. And it would've been bad with or without those pointless changes.
And let's not forget the people who watch it and hate it or don't even give a second thought are automatically labeled as -ists and -phobes; that's the shills' only defense whenever they're called out.
@@lainiwakura1776 No, I don't think it will. No Chinese/Asian market for a start off. They don't like black actors, remember the controversy about the Star Wars remakes? (and I'm convinced that's why the naturally emerging romance between Rey and Finn was cut short) Not only racist but colourist as well. So then it does make you ask the question "why".
"They made Tinker Bell a hood rat b*tch" and "I don't wanna connect to him I wanna cook that little bastard" is the best analysis I've seen about these trailers so far XD
I swear to fucking God, when 'Captain Hook' walked on screen, I could hear my dad shriek from the afterlife. He ADORED Neverland, and Captain Hook was his favorite Disney villain of all time. If anything was going to make him rise from the dead, it'd sure as shit be this XD
You know that if Disney's goal really was representation, they would have done a "Little mermaid" spinoff with Gabriella, a mermaid who is POC and on top of that - deaf...but if you point that out you'll still get called racist by Disney mouth breathing stans.
There are actually 2 black mermaids that someone drew on deviantart that were toys under the Disney's Little Mermaid brand. Tropical Splash Kayla and Cool Teen Shelley. Sadly they weren't used in the tv series. You could have used those characters as well.
I don't know which is more insulting, the dark coloring of once colorful films or the fact they made their European fictional creatures into black women who fade into the background, because they took away the ethereal aura the characters had....
Fun fact, they casted other “diverse” actresses to play Ariel’s sisters, some of Indian and Asian descent, a few redheads who should have been Ariel and another black girl. Damn Hispanic king triton must have those multicultural genes or he’s getting around the seven seas if you know what I mean😅 That to me shows how pointless this all was and just confirmed how lazy this remake is in particular. Btw her sisters appeared for a few minutes in the film at best, so these women were not only wasted for this movie, but they’re more token castings
Honestly, that 7 Seas theory might have actually been a pretty cool idea. There are 7 of them, after all. But, then one of the mermaids would have had to have been a Pacific Islander or something. Don't get me wrong, I think multiracial families, adopted or otherwise, could be represented in fiction more, but it kind of makes it hard to tell who is supposed to be related to whom if they don't say it out loud; and in the past couple of years, it just seems like it's been used to add diversity to a cast, but not replace the white characters entirely. The first time I noticed that happening was in FANT4STIC where they kept Susan Storm White, but Johnny Storm and their father were black. I guess it was too bold of a move in 2015 to race-swap her and keep her as Reed Richard's love interest, huh? Or have a Black Reed Richards date a White woman? How scandalous!
...I am almost sure the father will be a mean macho tyranic man...merman who has several wives who he doesn't respect and sees his daugthers more like a linage than his actual kids...-_- while Ursula isn't so bad, just misunderstood...or some stupid thing like that... I guess give up with Live-actions after Lion King was a good call from me after all.
The whole point of the lost boys is without women you get lord of the flies. Without their moms to raise them, and the pretty girls that tell them they want men and not boys, boys stay boys forever. It's literally, "I have no idea what's going on because this is the first time ever, but I wanna see her tits, I have to become a man or she won't let me." and Disney as usual, entirely miss the point.
OHH I never thought about that! I mean I got the mother part (of Wendy being the lost but very important female influence to the lost boys) but I never thought about the "you have to become a man before we can have sex" aspect until now.
I remember someone was mentioning that they hated the remakes for being cashgrabs (which I agree with 100%) but then some idiot replied with how all movies are cashgrabs I think what that person misses is that there’s a difference between a movie being made from passion and a soulless cashgrab These remakes are the ladder
The term 'cashgrab' implies soullessness. That guy was just trying to cope with a losing argument _(over the cashgrab nature of Disney live-action remakes!)_ with the moving of goalposts. How pathetic is that?
If you think it's bad that Triton is Spanish while Ariel is black, you should see the toys they have for Ariel and her six sisters. Either Triton gets around, all the daughters are adopted or each daughter had a different mother because none of them look biologically related.
When it comes to merfolk and fish-men in One Piece, their strange genetics make it so their children could look like any variety of aquatic animals. The royal family are a coelacanth, a goldfish, a shark, an oarfish, an opah, and a smelt-whiting, all merfolk, with the king and the daughter being near giant size. The pirate Arlong is a sawshark fish-man, while his half-sister Shyarly is a shortfin mako shark mermaid. That's a clever kind of variety, but Disney has to be so, in the words of Monty Python, "It's so desperately dull and tedious and stuffy and boring and desperately dull!"
@@marcotroop the point is that instead of doing something that makes no sense, like having everyone in a merfolk family be different ethnicities, they could be creative and make them all different fish. That wouldn't make the movie any better, but it'd be different.
@@ggrarl That's what they did, though. If you've seen the daughters, you'll see that they are not just different races, but they are each distinctly different fish, as well. They are each meant to represent one of the seven seas.
The most depressing thing about these remakes is that despite how so many people are against the very concept of them existing, they will still be successful purely because of Disney's brand recognition. This really is the worst timeline.
I think you're overestimating it a bit. Lately, Disneys track record in terms of box office and streaming hadn't been so hot. Ant-Man 3 flopped in a way that is just unprecedented to MCU, Mandalorian got less viewers on the premiere of Season 3 than Book of Boba Fett... Way I see it, the honeymoon is over. People are seeing through it, and I wouldn't be surprised if box office will be disappointing. For them, that is.
What are you talking about? Disney has been hemorrhaging money for awhile now. Most of their movies are not even making their money back, and their last three movies have flopped so hard they are forcing a restructure. That's not even mentioning what happened to Star Wars
They WERE. but it seems now, especially with stuff like Puss2, Del Toro's Pinocchio, and now Mario, the heavy nostalgia pull is weakening. It took A LOT of time since this is Disney we're talking about. But there are signs that even the casual movie goer are starting to get fed up with their shit.
The truly important question is: will this version of the "Little Mermaid" be feminist enough for Keira Knightley to let her daughter watch it? (this joke is for the long term JLongbone fans)
It's so sad to see the little mermaid being remade this way for "representation" because I remember watching the little mermaid series that was made from the original 80s version and Disney wrote and designed an afro-latina (or maybe she was just latina I don't remember) mute mermaid who became good friends with ariel. She had a octopus friend who interpreted what she was signing cause she used accurate american sign language! I'm pretty sure in her debut episode she and Ariel dreamed of getting something. Ariel wishes to dance like humans do and the mute girl wanted to finally talk. In the end, they never got what they wished for and instead learned to see that they had everything inside of them all along. The mute girl taught Ariel to dance with arm and fish tail motions while Ariel kept on encouraging the asl-form communication that the other girl already uses. Aside from representing a minority group, Disney also didn't write out an ableist narrative. The narrative being a disabled person getting rid of their disability and becoming like the other abled people in their franchise. I've heard disabled people say that this trope just erases their rep and says "don't worry! This character isn't broken anymore! Now their normal!" Which is insulting... But Disney didn't do that with this mute mermaid. They wrote her to love all of herself unconditionally. THISS is how you do representation Disney.
Disney's idea of making the atmosphere look realistic is always making it gray, did they forget that the sky can produce different hues? Atleast make it blue
"In real life you don't get blue skies every day, so it's unrealistic for movies to have blue skies in every scene." Litterally something the director of the lion king remake said.
The director for lion kind literally says in an interview all the skies are bland and blue because it was realistic. Despite the fact you can just google images to see how wonderous the sky can look and the fact most of the skies in the lion king were based on pictures they took while they were in africa researching stuff. I always wonder if directors have eyes with some of the crap they put in films lol
I remember watching Hook and the 2003 Peter Pan all the time as a kid. I loved Jason Isaacs as Hook. And If I wanted to watch real animals moving and living their lives, I'll watch an animal documentary. At this point Disney has to remind themselves they own the rights to these films, and so they throw together lackluster live action films just to renew the rights or something
The saddest part is that Jude Law could be a really great hook if they cared even slightly. He could have been intimidating and theatrical like Isaacs or Hoffman, but they made him look terrible.....
Do you think they even know that the species they changed Scuttle into is named booby? They turned Sebastian into a ghost crab that can't breathe underwater. Disney doesn't care!
Not to mention tinkerbell got locked in a cage.... I wonder how that would work as well now... Edit: ALSO I loved the little mermaid growing up and this is a sad attempt for a live action WHY DOES TRITON FEEL STUPID HERE? the above world?? THE ABOVE WORLD? like say the surface or human world but above world sounds dumb. Also him having multiple different daughters who look different means he had different wives?? WHERE IS THE DAMN WEIGHT OF HIM LOSING HIS WIFE IF HE COULD HAVE ANOTHER. What made his concerns valid were him losing his ONLY wife due to humans and didn't replace her goddammit Also how will ariel brush her hair with locs with a damn fork? Like they should know the ordinary hair brush doesn't comb locs because it would damage the hair let alone a fork The hair isn't even red it looks so brown instead of actually red AND THAT ICONIC SHOT OF HER GOING UP IS RUINED TOO IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD.
Thankfully they changed the lyrics to "Kiss the Girl" to appease the people upset at the thought that Eric would force himself on her without her consent.......ya know....in the scene where she and her friends are trying to manipulate him into kissing her....because she desperately wants him to. Sigh.
They just announced it with Dwayne Johnson making a huge cringey video about it. Likely because his DC trilogy fell through with the flop of Black Adam. Lilo and Stitch will flop because they cannot appeal the same way. A live action version of a fuzzy alien will be extremely unsightly, uncanny and disturbing. Animated Stitch is cute because he’s colorful and cartoony. Live action version would absolutely be gross and unnerving
@@Polomance862 Stitch would be cute if they did the CGI like they did with the live action Cheshire Cat, but Disney recently made The Lion King live action, so now I’m gonna get prepared for nightmares :D
I had already seen the Peter Pan trailer but not the Little Mermaid one. I knew it would be bad but somehow it exceeded my already very low expectations with the level of cringe it exudes. I already know there are gonna be so many people that hype this movie up because of the REPRESENTATION.
Personally, I think the Peter Pan one is slightly worse, mainly because of that awful green color gradient. The cinematography is trash in both though, I can barely see what's going on-which I guess is a blessing in disguise.
Same but l saw tinker bell movies and series first than Peter Pan movie cuz l start to love tinker bell and l watch the 2003 version one when l was younger and l saw tinker bell in this personality was so difference of her movies and series, So this is why tinker bell was my favorite pricenss of disney. Also Sorry for too much texts 💙
That film and Hook are the quintessential Peter Pan movies for me. There literally is no point making more live-action adaptations if you're not bringing anything new and inspired to it because it's not going to compete with either of those in terms of quality, especially with current-day Hellyweird. Pan already tried and failed.
2:41- 3:00 Oh yeah I totally forgot about Tinker-Bell's jealousy of Wendy, her short temperment, and sass. And they put that in a "black" version of Tinkerbell...? There's a word often misused by a portion of the black community... A word that would fit perfectly here.
Damn, sis, I died watching this. Also, I just got back from watching Mario bros. And they played the Little mermaid trailer. Being black I was wondering what the response was going to be from a mixed audience and there was none. People were dead silent. I had such embarrassment for Disney, man. Nobody responded to it at all. Disney really screwed the pooch here big time.
I’ll never updating why they recast characters in skin color, I know for sure if they recasted someone like black panther or Princess Tiana. us black people would be protesting against Disney.
its kind of ironically racist that people who make these films believe the only way to relate to a character is by being the same race/sex/gender as them.
What made the songs of the renaissance era of Disney animated movies so great was how theatre they sounded. For all that the songs were recorded in booths, the vocal work was robust, like they were on stage, and so it makes the characters feel like they're there, in the moment, singing their hearts out. Just that little clip alone sounded like it was meant to be recorded, if that makes sense. Which is sad because it does sound like the actress is giving her all, but it's felt this way with the last films and their songs. The original "Part of Your World, Reprise" is Ariel singing a promise to herself and to Eric, it's starts soft, almost unsure and in disbelief, then strengthens into resolve as she belts out for all to hear that she will attain what she desires. We hear the emotion and intent in her delivery. But this version...there's no emotion, no appeal to the audience to understand what Ariel's feeling and thinking, it's just meant to sound good and let nostalgia fill in the blanks. Which, like a lot of the film, despite being the 'realistic/live action' one, just makes it feel more fake than the original.
Wonderfully explained!! The singing is very stiff and polished, it does not push vocal boundaries the way Jodi’s did. With Jodi Benson, you not only hear her sing, you also feel it in your soul. They changed Ariel’s ethnicity for the sake of singing. But Bailey cannot act and her singing does not deliver the way a broadway actress/singer would deliver. You are 💯 spot on.
Hook OR the 2003 Peter Pan, which is a genuinely good movie. The fact that they cast Jason Isaacs as both Captain Hook AND Mr. Darling was such a neat detail that told you a lot about Wendy's state of mind in that film.
I think it's funny that Ariel is supposed to be a kind, adventurous heroine, but in this trailer, she purposefully makes a porcupine fish blow up. In other words, she's antagonizing this poor creature to trigger its defense mechanism. The problems just keep piling up.
Not only gender swap, also change different bird species from a seagull, to I think a blue tit bird? Why? Why even bother adapting The Little Mermaid, when changes are made to make it less so?
How ungrateful, Lauren. They made these changes for you. 😢 ;3 Lol at the song, it’s overdone like I expected. Disney can’t make musicals anymore. One of the BTS of the original recording process for that song was for Jodi to tone it down and be more emotive, performative and less “singer”. It has that beautiful blend that a musical should. This new version sounds like all the shitty pop covers Disney did of many of their songs. Like Reflections by Christina Aguilera 🤢
You succinctly worded exactly why I hate nearly all pop renditions of musical numbers. Celine Dion's and Peabo Bryson's Beauty and the Beast cover is probably the only one I like, but that's because they know how to use their voices dynamically. Lea Salonga's Reflection will *always* be better than Christina Aguilera's loudly bleated notes that don't even fit the song, and it's not even close.
You've just earned yourself a sub! I love your bubbly personality, dark humor, and unfiltered commentary! Had it been someone anyone else...they would've been e-lynched to oblivion.
Ok I did a frame by frame look at ariel surfacing, they tried to CGI away the arm that is clearly holding her hair. Her hair is standing straight like a mast and a pillar of water just so happens to be thicker than the surrounding water is also around her straight hair
The 2003 Peter Pan is 99% closer to the Disney original, so there's no point for that remake. As for The Little Mermaid...they're not even trying. This is not just a bad remake. They butchered everything! From characters, COLOR, CGI, costume, tone, music, signing, etc. Even the dude playing Triton isn't that convincing. I guess Jason Momoa was too busy. All they had to do was remain faithful to the original source and make it colorful...yet they changed nearly everything for THE MESSAGE.
Original flounder was the kind of fish id have as a pet and love dearly, live action flounder is the kind of fish id fry and eat without a care in the world.
The whole reason of the Lost Boys being boys it's because it's explained in the book girls were too smart to get lost. ALSO, Wendy bein the first girl they ever meet and their mother-figure made eveything so special and the whole symbolism.
I have a weird peeve with the Part of Your World in the trailer...and it's because watching it side by side with the original animated Disney film, the live action looks so stiff. Both voices are lovely, yes. But the way Ariel raises herself from the rock with the waves behind her, the animated version is so much more... expressive than the live action. Really felt the magic of the "world" lyric.
THANK YOU someone FINALLY SAID IT! The actress Aquafina is SO BLAND. She has the same tone in EVERYTHING she plays. Why do they keep putting her in voice acting roles please just get professionals she isn't fit for these jobs. Her acting is quite forgettable too. Also Blackwashing SHOULDN'T make me see myself in a character. Their CHARACTER should make me see myself in them. This is just CHEAP and Disgusting tactic to get people in and it is getting OLD.
8:05 they probably added the glowing tentacles to make up for the severe lack of color and lighting in the footage. The fact that the bits with Ursula were some of the only scenes in the trailer that actually felt like they contributed some substance to the legacy of the original movie speaks volumes.
If Disney really cared about diversity in their films they would have had black and white people in mulan. You ever noticed that crap? People on twitter yelling at a Hawaiian not being Hawaiian enough to play lilo in their other remake. If these companies really cared they would take a risk and make a new original story to add more representation. Not just lazily race bend a few characters to shield themselves from criticism. They could have for example made a story about a black mermaid that is trying to rescue her family from Ursula's garden of lost souls. That way they have a new story, they get to represent other people and they can still ride off the fame of the original.
he was already a crab though. hence the chef trying to cook him along with the chef saying he was a crab. rewatch the animated movie again if you think he was a lobster
If they wanna make live action movies based off of their older animated movies, why not use the established film as a springboard for doing original takes on the film. Why not try what the Twisted Tales books do when making “What If” scenarios like “What if Alice was very, very late and Wonderland was in danger?” Or “What if Rapunzel’s mother used the wrong flower?” Hell, why not try any other public domain fairy tales?
I would be way more interested in that rather than seeing another shitty remake I may have not liked Maleficent or the Alice in Wonderland remake but I will give them this at least they were original and not cheap shot for shot remakes
While your idea sounds great, it requires creativity, effort and originality. They want to pump out soulless, bland remakes that rake in millions with barely any effort, not actually make something interesting or compelling in any way....
@@Fesquishety and it sucks that the studio that used to have a lot more heart has suddenly become so heartless. They used to care and somewhere along the way, they stopped, they became so cynical that it’s just sad. They’ve got more money than God, they could make something that required effort, but they won’t and I’m disappointed.
Ah yes, it's completely logical that a hominid species would evolve dark skin living on the bottom of the sea where, as we all know, the sunrays are always present. 👍
You explained everything that is bothering me with this trailer. I thought to myself "hummm her face look like somebody I have seen before but I couldn't put my finger on it" and then you said Splice and I was like "oh yeah! She does look like her ha ha!" And yeah that hair flick thing out of the water didn't look comfortable at all. It almost looks like a crane swinging a heavy load. Also you are right about her not being able to act. That's the first thing I picked up from seeing the trailer. There is no expression on her face. That's a really good thumbnail by the way. I have never laughed hard at the thumbnail.
Same shit as with the lion king "live action". There's zero emotion and the disney lizard people don't seem to understand what made the animal sidekicks so loveable wasn't just the fact they could speak, but also their facial expressions. That's what gave them a more "human" and approachable look. But disney, as usual, is out of touch
To quote YMS about Flounder and Sebastian's appearance: "This animation would fucking terrify me if I was a child. I know this because I'm an *adult* and I'm terrified."
So essentially Disney is putting out not one but two crappy live action remakes, with woke casting etc and of course when they fail we all know who gets the blame. They’ll just say that everyone is an “ ist, ism, or phobe.
Watching these woke films inadvertently come across as even more racist than the originals is like watching Tom the Cat walking around on a floor covered in mouse traps.
It’s been over a decade since Jennifer Lawrence invented women. And now, finally, Halle Bailey will use her literally years of “life”(Hollywood) experience to teach the 4 billion women (and a few male pretenders) in the real world how to be proper modern strong independent feminists! Preach your wisdom, Halle!
What I find funny is that Disney wants nothing to do with the Princess and the Frog. They'd rather destroy all of their other classics to appease a vocal minority
Ok, if one can't relate to a fictional character who is of different race or sex because of those two characteristics, doesn't it mean that now only black women can relate and the other 94% of people (talking about the US) can't? Am I misunderstanding the premise of the argument?
4:25 this is what I feel about all marvel movies. why do they waste their time walking up stairs and elevators when they can fly, climb, teleport, do flips. they could've saved 100 more people in the time it takes them to walk up stairs during dialogue scenes
What is most jarring about the trailer for TLM is that it's indistinguishable from a horror movie. The ocean is loaded with eldritch horrors, and it seems as though Disney's goal was to cram as many of them into this thing as possible while inexplicably distorting previously cute versions of rather unappealing creatures so that children will recoil in disgust at the sight of them. At least we should be spared the play-by-play of mermaid/merman sexual anatomy. Disney must be waiting for the sequel to show us Ariel's cloaca.
The Disney CLASSIC animation needs to be in your home on PHYSICAL format, because Disney will not make any more physical copy and they will only stream THIS CRAP, and kids will never know how GOOD the originals were.
09:25 Animation can also, for lack of a better word, cheat. Things can look almost too perfect or disgusting for a given scene, squash and stretch can be overemphasized to sell a few frames, etc. Live action doesn’t usually have that option to fall back on.
I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know Disney's dead right now.

Not only is Sebastian so unappealing to look at (Seriously, what kid would want a doll that looks like THAT?), but it's also the fact that Disney turned him into a Ghost Crab, a land dwelling crab who can't go underwater.

So the heroes of Peter Pan are a variety of races and both genders, but the evil villainous pirates are all white men. Shocking.
Which is hilarious, because many pirates were ex-slaves who took up piracy to escape. White and black slaves who became pirates even bonded due to that fact. It’s funny how diversity seems to be really selective, isn’t it?
same with Velma, « race doesn’t matter » but Fred being white is important because otherwise, how could the creators bitch about « rich white men with a tiny d… » ?
The only thing they thought to get right was the Indians in this film. It wasn't a mix of race like every other character in the film.
And even though in the book they weren't all white

The lost boys were little baby boys that fell out of their strollers. The reason there aren’t girl children is because they were ‘too smart’ (or something along those lines) to let that happen. So they’re essentially insulting those girls 😂
Not only girls, but girls of a certain color. Basically, the movie is calling black girls stupid.

funny that they're changing the song "Kiss the Girl" to be concenting for Ariel, when it was Ariel in the original who tried to kiss him first and he rejected it. people really are making up their own history.

There are people who still think Ariel became human for a man.

@@lainiwakura1776 She wanted to explore the land *before* she met him. That was her character.
Did they not WATCH the original?? Of course Ariel wanted him to kiss her, mainly because to save her LIFE!! Because she struck a deal with Ursula that if she kissed him, her voice will return and she’ll be a human forever. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT??!
So annoying when blackivists immediately label you racist for thinking its weird Ariel is black. If Disney really cared about representation, they'd make a story about the black mermaid from the show and write an original story. It's not that it's a black mermaid, the problem is that it's a black *Ariel*. I keep hearing "but Disney cast Halle because she's best for the role!" That's BS. They didn't cast Belle correctly either because Emma Watson can't sing worth a damn and looks like a tomboy. They miscast genie with Will Smith, as his acting isn't nearly as bombastic as Robin Williams. Halle can sing but she doesn't look remotely like the character. Would you cast ScarJoe as Storm? Ryan Gosling as Blade?
Oh good, I'm not the only one who thought Emma Watson as Belle was a horrible miscast... along with the dude who played the Beast.
They had ZERO chemistry together, none even by themselves, and the guy who played Gaston was the only highlight of the film.
It was a complete waste of a film.
As I said during the Percy Jackson tv casting, your job first and foremost as a casting director is to find actors who both embody the personality of the character AND look like them. If you’re telling me that there wasn’t a single child star that could play Annabeth AND looked like her book counterpart your either a) bad at your job, or b) lying to me. That being said, people shit on me for being frustrated by the Annabeth casting but guess what I am frustrated by the Percy casting too. Wanna know why? Cuz he’s BLONDE. They made him BLONDE. He isn’t blonde he has black hair and sea green eyes, if you can’t do your job properly don’t do it at all folks. When they first announced the actor I was like “ok…he’s blonde…ok well filming hasn’t started yet.” Then they began to release bts photos and he was still blonde “ok maybe he’s wearing a wig? Or maybe they haven’t filmed his scenes yet?” Then they release the teaser. He’s fricking BLONDE.
I also had people telling me “well her (Annabeth’s) race isn’t important to her character so it’s fine!” Bitch, Beckendorff’s race isn’t a part of HIS character but you’d be livid if they cast a white actor to play him so don’t even.
I’m so done with Disney and their antics
@@elizabethlevesque6978 THANK YOU!
I will defend their choice of Will Smith... Certainly he couldn't do it the same WAY as Robin Williams... But Will Smith can play a hype-man and that is what a Genie needs to do. I don't doubt for a second he played genie because he was the best person they could think of.
.
However, that said, his "Prince Alee" song was just... lifeless. He is supposed to be making his master look like a god amongst men and playing the crowd, the song is a performance even MORE so than it is a song. Certainly sounds good, but there was more to it than that. But that is the problem with the direction of the movie (and possibly Will Smith just... outgrown that role)
@@Nionivek and to be honest, Aladdin credits song is much more appropriate and suitable for his own genie than the main one (which try to replicate late Robin Williams)
Woke blacktivist zoomers: "When I was growing up, The Little Mermaid was a very important film to me! I could imagine that I was Ariel!"
The same people: "Now that we race-swapped Ariel, black girls will finally be able to relate to her and enjoy The Little Mermaid"
Honestly, those idiots almost make me ashamed to be a black man. Almost.
Literally, it makes no freaking sense. All the shows that were up on in the 90s like “Codename kids next-door.” Only number five was black but I liked all of the characters I don’t understand why we have to race swap people just to make “apparently” Black people feel seen it’s stupid.
@@EmoBunny69 Because the activists are bigots.
I can't imagine how white kids will feel when they get older if childhood representation is this important for their psychology. The pendulum swing is gonna be crazy.
There has to be some fairytale or folklore from *somewhere* that could believably feature black characters, right??? Hell, why don't they just remake Princess and the Frog, and then have Tiana be a person for longer, since that's an issue people already have with the animated movie - it'd be cheap and uninspired, but they're clearly ok with that.
I'm all for exploring stories from/based on different cultures, and more diverse casting and all that, but race-swapping is the laziest way of doing that, and kind of tells black people that they're just an afterthought, like, "hey, this movie with a white lead is due for a reboot, let's hire a black actor this time", instead of coming up with an original movie to cast them in, in all that time they had in between.
The scene where Wendy says "Look at me... I am the Captain now!" was amazing.

The only reason Peter Pan took Wendy to neverland was to give the lost boys a mother
Someone needs to edit in Dylan Mulvaney in the Wendy role. After all, he's just a 1 year old girl.
Yeah, but that's reinforcing gender stereotypes, and we can't have that. 😄
@@Laneous14 or maybe it's subversive saying black women don't make good mothers
The whole point of the Lost Boys was showing how immature and inept they are without a woman around. Without a mother-figure to guide them, they lived in squalor. Once Wendy came into the picture, in the original story, she taught them how to be organised, clean, and self sufficient, to the point that their leader, Peter Pan, started to wonder if growing up truly was a bad thing. Peter literally invites Wendy to Neverland with the expectation that she'll play a motherly role, something the boy's are seriously lacking.
The reason Peter becomes enamored with Wendy in the first place is because he'd fly by her window every night and listen to Mrs. Darling (Wendy's mother) tell her kids bedtime stories, a tradition Wendy carried on when her mother fell ill. He never got that parental connection, and because of that he didn't want to become an adult. Later on, when Wendy and her brothers become painfully homesick, Peter returns everyone to London, including the Lost Boys he basically kidnapped, and they get adopted by Mrs. Darling. Despite everything he's learned, Peter still can't bring himself to become a man and returns to Neverland alone. Years later, he returns to Wendy with the hope that she'll go back to Neverland with him, as he's lonely, but she's now an adult and married to one of the former Lost Boys, with whom she has a daughter named Jane.
She married one of the Lost Boys…that she knew when he was a child??
They were both children, skies…
@@livelybubbs6242 Wendy was like 14, and the Lost Boys were like 7. It’s kinda weird
Wow, that's so sad yet bitter-sweet. I guess those are the consequences for Peter's actions but at least the kids he returned got to live their life 🥹.
@@lovelycloudyskies
The lost boys were between 7 and 12. Wendy was 12-13. Assuming she married the oldest Lost Boy (it's never stated), it's not actually that weird and pretty typical for the time period.
I’m praying that they never touch Treasure Planet or Atlantis: The Lost Empire, lord knows how dirty they would do both of those films.
Don’t give them ideas now-
I've heard people claim that Disney should remake those movies. They already did a bad job remaking their classics. What makes them so sure they won't screw up the underrated gems too?
Especially since I loved Atlantis, and I don't want them to remake that as well.
They'd make Jim a teenage girl with a butch haircut, and Silver a misogynistic boomer she needs to show what's what.
Treasure planet was already a live action movie in the 50s.
@@cheshirerose2001 Those movies weren't successful enough. I expect a Frozen or Tangled reboot first.
Disney casting the heroes: "Anyone is accepted, even if we have to pretend slavery and racism never existed."
Disney casting the villains (unleess they get a redemption arc): "No POC need apply."
Anyone is accepted....except redheads.
Which is funny, because many pirates were ex-slaves who escaped and turned to piracy. That would be white and black ex-slaves. Well well…
@@alexman378 Omg I didn't know that
Shows the double standard they have. After all, in this case, it seems that skin color does make you either good or evil. It's so painful and absurd
Some idiot tried to argue that because there are women in the x-men team there is no reason to be upset over the lost boys having girls in them.
First of all, ‘’men’’ can be used as a synonym for people, humankind.
The x-men had female characters from the beginning.
Peter Pan already has female representation! You have Tiger Lily, Wendy, and Tinkerbell.
There is a bunch of stories with all-female groups or at least one girl in a group but as soon as there is an all-male thing Twitter screams.
The explanation as to why all the lost boys were lost in the first plays is because they were stupid and hyperactive and fell off their prams.
Nice going Disney, all those diverse characters were morons as babies. And it's true, everybody can be stupid, especially when they're just babies. But I can guarantee they will never show them being immature and childlike like in the original.
Also, the lost boys were inspired by real boys. And I can guarantee when people learn about their tragic backstories there will be a lot of angry people. Just like after they turned Peter Pan into a villain and everybody learned about the backstory of his voice actor.
Let the shitstorm begin! I'll be watching from the sideline.
Also.... It's actually a really important part of the Peter Pan story that they are only boys there.
Peter Pan goes to fetch Wendy, BECAUSE the lost boys don't have a mom and lack a mother figure! They build a house for Wendy and ask her to sing lullabies for them because they want her to be their MOTHER figure.
And they need to take in a girl from the outside because there's no girl among them in their group.
It is actually an important part of the plot that there is no girls, and there is something seriously lacking in their lives BECAUSE of this lack of a girl who can be a mother figure.
And if you ask me, this is indeed the ultimate celebration of women's role in society. All of these boys are indeed... lost... with the lack of a mother. Even all of the pirates are longing for their mothers. And Wendy's mere presence is something precious to them they wish to protect.
So that is uniquely a female role that is deemed incredibly important and irreplaceable in this story... But no! NOPE! Doesn't count. it only counts when women can be strong, and fighting, I need no man people. And need to be BETTER men than actual men... Women shouldn't be women, they should be men. that's the only way to matter in this world.
.... Jesus Christ.
You can also add on that the lost boys were also a representation of the boys that were "lost" during the Victorian industrial revolution. The boys that society has lost due to negligence and loss of parents.
If Disney don't call them the X-Thems, we should boycott and call them bigots. Fuck it, they want to be a meme of an entertainment company, let's force them to be a meme.
I'd love a faithful adaptation of the X-men, but Disney won't do that, so let's go full fucking hog, get it over with, and call it the X-Thems.

Men can parade their fetish in public and be lauded as "real" women.
The word "man" was actually created to refer to both genders. It used to be "wif" for woman and "wir" for man, which is where "werewolf" comes from. I wish more people realized this. That's why X-men can be both men and women.

That to me shows how pointless this all was and just confirmed how lazy this remake is in particular. Btw her sisters appeared for a few minutes in the film at best, so these women were not only wasted for this movie, but they’re more token castings
There will likely be no family resemblance between the sisters. Let alone between father and daughters.
Also never mind the fact that Triton is the son of Posidon, who is GREEK GOD. So if anything, he should be Mediterranean at the very least.
Honestly, that 7 Seas theory might have actually been a pretty cool idea. There are 7 of them, after all. But, then one of the mermaids would have had to have been a Pacific Islander or something.
Don't get me wrong, I think multiracial families, adopted or otherwise, could be represented in fiction more, but it kind of makes it hard to tell who is supposed to be related to whom if they don't say it out loud; and in the past couple of years, it just seems like it's been used to add diversity to a cast, but not replace the white characters entirely.
The first time I noticed that happening was in FANT4STIC where they kept Susan Storm White, but Johnny Storm and their father were black. I guess it was too bold of a move in 2015 to race-swap her and keep her as Reed Richard's love interest, huh? Or have a Black Reed Richards date a White woman? How scandalous!
...I am almost sure the father will be a mean macho tyranic man...merman who has several wives who he doesn't respect and sees his daugthers more like a linage than his actual kids...-_- while Ursula isn't so bad, just misunderstood...or some stupid thing like that...
I guess give up with Live-actions after Lion King was a good call from me after all.
Oh I didn’t know you already watched the movie
The whole point of the lost boys is without women you get lord of the flies. Without their moms to raise them, and the pretty girls that tell them they want men and not boys, boys stay boys forever.
It's literally, "I have no idea what's going on because this is the first time ever, but I wanna see her tits, I have to become a man or she won't let me." and Disney as usual, entirely miss the point.
That's why Peter got Wendy, to be the mom.
« but it’s sexist !! » (producers’ probable answer)
OHH I never thought about that! I mean I got the mother part (of Wendy being the lost but very important female influence to the lost boys) but I never thought about the "you have to become a man before we can have sex" aspect until now.
Yeah, but that's reinforcing gender stereotypes, and we can't have that. 😄
I remember someone was mentioning that they hated the remakes for being cashgrabs (which I agree with 100%) but then some idiot replied with how all movies are cashgrabs
I think what that person misses is that there’s a difference between a movie being made from passion and a soulless cashgrab
These remakes are the ladder
The term 'cashgrab' implies soullessness. That guy was just trying to cope with a losing argument _(over the cashgrab nature of Disney live-action remakes!)_ with the moving of goalposts. How pathetic is that?
But what if money was the passion? 😂
@@rowantic6539 then it’s a cashgrab!
@@613harbinger316 very I must say!
@@cheshirerose2001 no! It is a passionate cashgrab project :) or in this case cashcrab.
If you think it's bad that Triton is Spanish while Ariel is black, you should see the toys they have for Ariel and her six sisters. Either Triton gets around, all the daughters are adopted or each daughter had a different mother because none of them look biologically related.
When it comes to merfolk and fish-men in One Piece, their strange genetics make it so their children could look like any variety of aquatic animals. The royal family are a coelacanth, a goldfish, a shark, an oarfish, an opah, and a smelt-whiting, all merfolk, with the king and the daughter being near giant size. The pirate Arlong is a sawshark fish-man, while his half-sister Shyarly is a shortfin mako shark mermaid. That's a clever kind of variety, but Disney has to be so, in the words of Monty Python, "It's so desperately dull and tedious and stuffy and boring and desperately dull!"
@@ggrarl what is your point here, exactly??
@@marcotroop the point is that instead of doing something that makes no sense, like having everyone in a merfolk family be different ethnicities, they could be creative and make them all different fish. That wouldn't make the movie any better, but it'd be different.
@@ggrarl That's what they did, though. If you've seen the daughters, you'll see that they are not just different races, but they are each distinctly different fish, as well. They are each meant to represent one of the seven seas.

The most depressing thing about these remakes is that despite how so many people are against the very concept of them existing, they will still be successful purely because of Disney's brand recognition. This really is the worst timeline.
I think you're overestimating it a bit. Lately, Disneys track record in terms of box office and streaming hadn't been so hot. Ant-Man 3 flopped in a way that is just unprecedented to MCU, Mandalorian got less viewers on the premiere of Season 3 than Book of Boba Fett... Way I see it, the honeymoon is over. People are seeing through it, and I wouldn't be surprised if box office will be disappointing. For them, that is.
@@bliczb8772 Don't forget the Super Mario movie pretty much dethroned Disney.
@@MikeTheEnforcer And not just in movies but in theme parks as well, the opening of Nintendo World in Universal Studios is Disney's death knell.
What are you talking about? Disney has been hemorrhaging money for awhile now. Most of their movies are not even making their money back, and their last three movies have flopped so hard they are forcing a restructure. That's not even mentioning what happened to Star Wars
They WERE. but it seems now, especially with stuff like Puss2, Del Toro's Pinocchio, and now Mario, the heavy nostalgia pull is weakening.
It took A LOT of time since this is Disney we're talking about. But there are signs that even the casual movie goer are starting to get fed up with their shit.

The truly important question is: will this version of the "Little Mermaid" be feminist enough for Keira Knightley to let her daughter watch it? (this joke is for the long term JLongbone fans)
It's so sad to see the little mermaid being remade this way for "representation" because I remember watching the little mermaid series that was made from the original 80s version and Disney wrote and designed an afro-latina (or maybe she was just latina I don't remember) mute mermaid who became good friends with ariel. She had a octopus friend who interpreted what she was signing cause she used accurate american sign language! I'm pretty sure in her debut episode she and Ariel dreamed of getting something. Ariel wishes to dance like humans do and the mute girl wanted to finally talk. In the end, they never got what they wished for and instead learned to see that they had everything inside of them all along. The mute girl taught Ariel to dance with arm and fish tail motions while Ariel kept on encouraging the asl-form communication that the other girl already uses.
Aside from representing a minority group, Disney also didn't write out an ableist narrative. The narrative being a disabled person getting rid of their disability and becoming like the other abled people in their franchise. I've heard disabled people say that this trope just erases their rep and says "don't worry! This character isn't broken anymore! Now their normal!" Which is insulting... But Disney didn't do that with this mute mermaid. They wrote her to love all of herself unconditionally.
THISS is how you do representation Disney.

Is Disney using matches as lighting for their live action movies or...?
😂😂😂😂😂
I think so 😅😅😅
yeah.- they robbed andersons match selling girl and left her to froze to death
Sometimes there are things animated movies can do that live action can't, and disney should've learned this lesson a long time ago
They were one of the companies to establish that but they just forgot or ignore it now for the sake of money.
Disney's idea of making the atmosphere look realistic is always making it gray, did they forget that the sky can produce different hues? Atleast make it blue
Nah colors are too childish. Otherwise no one will take their movies about merfolk and magic fairies seriously
"In real life you don't get blue skies every day, so it's unrealistic for movies to have blue skies in every scene."
Litterally something the director of the lion king remake said.
The director for lion kind literally says in an interview all the skies are bland and blue because it was realistic. Despite the fact you can just google images to see how wonderous the sky can look and the fact most of the skies in the lion king were based on pictures they took while they were in africa researching stuff. I always wonder if directors have eyes with some of the crap they put in films lol
@@charg1nmalaz0r51Dear Christ, has Jon Favreau lost the plot
I’m surprised you were able to react what’s going on in the trailers because most of the time you can’t see shit with this dark lighting!
I can feel Howard Ashman just rolling in his grave from this Little Mermaid remake.
They’re also changing the lyrics of Kiss the Girl and Poor Unfortunate Souls, effectively pissing on his grave.
I remember watching Hook and the 2003 Peter Pan all the time as a kid. I loved Jason Isaacs as Hook.
And If I wanted to watch real animals moving and living their lives, I'll watch an animal documentary. At this point Disney has to remind themselves they own the rights to these films, and so they throw together lackluster live action films just to renew the rights or something
The saddest part is that Jude Law could be a really great hook if they cared even slightly. He could have been intimidating and theatrical like Isaacs or Hoffman, but they made him look terrible.....
Aren't they doing Moana now too 😭
They didn't just gender swap Scuttle. They swapped his species, too, and they made the new female Scuttle a booby. Make of that what you will.
Is a fucking bired
Scuttle was amazing. They just made him into a girl and highly annoying.
Noooooo, not a booby! I can’t! Wheeeeeze
Do you think they even know that the species they changed Scuttle into is named booby? They turned Sebastian into a ghost crab that can't breathe underwater. Disney doesn't care!
A booby? They made Scuttle a girl and chose to make her a booby bird? Bahhahahahahaha. I’m wheezing! HA!!
10:30 - 10:41
Laughed so hard at the visual and the whipping sound effect. What a great joke 😂😂
Sébastien's red lobster ass had me dying
Now that you've pointed out how difficult whipping the hair back must have been, I can't unsee it when I see that clip. That looks painful.
Thats hella painful no matter what hair you have
Disney... you made the crabs cute in Pirates Of The Caribbean 3, wtf?
Yes my favorite quote “This looks like uninspired cash grab garbage.”😂😂🤣
Not to mention tinkerbell got locked in a cage.... I wonder how that would work as well now...
Edit:
ALSO I loved the little mermaid growing up and this is a sad attempt for a live action
WHY DOES TRITON FEEL STUPID HERE? the above world?? THE ABOVE WORLD? like say the surface or human world but above world sounds dumb.
Also him having multiple different daughters who look different means he had different wives?? WHERE IS THE DAMN WEIGHT OF HIM LOSING HIS WIFE IF HE COULD HAVE ANOTHER. What made his concerns valid were him losing his ONLY wife due to humans and didn't replace her goddammit
Also how will ariel brush her hair with locs with a damn fork? Like they should know the ordinary hair brush doesn't comb locs because it would damage the hair let alone a fork
The hair isn't even red it looks so brown instead of actually red
AND THAT ICONIC SHOT OF HER GOING UP IS RUINED TOO IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD.
Calling the surface the above world de facto makes Atlantis the underworld.
@@Zepher0987 it sounds like hades second home 😂
It's ridiculous
Thankfully they changed the lyrics to "Kiss the Girl" to appease the people upset at the thought that Eric would force himself on her without her consent.......ya know....in the scene where she and her friends are trying to manipulate him into kissing her....because she desperately wants him to. Sigh.
The lost boys where called that littrely because they where all boys. It's not hard Disney
I can't wait for the Lilo & Stich live action remake... or the Moana live action remake.. (no, I'm not joking! I've heard they are..)
Like it’s not even 10 years old-
They just announced it with Dwayne Johnson making a huge cringey video about it. Likely because his DC trilogy fell through with the flop of Black Adam.
Lilo and Stitch will flop because they cannot appeal the same way. A live action version of a fuzzy alien will be extremely unsightly, uncanny and disturbing.
Animated Stitch is cute because he’s colorful and cartoony. Live action version would absolutely be gross and unnerving
@@Polomance862 Stitch would be cute if they did the CGI like they did with the live action Cheshire Cat, but Disney recently made The Lion King live action, so now I’m gonna get prepared for nightmares :D
So after Salazar got the trident, he became Triton. It all makes sense now. Is Tia Dalma the mother then? And where is Ariel getting her weaves?
He also tamed the mermaids into not eating men anymore.
I had already seen the Peter Pan trailer but not the Little Mermaid one. I knew it would be bad but somehow it exceeded my already very low expectations with the level of cringe it exudes. I already know there are gonna be so many people that hype this movie up because of the REPRESENTATION.
Personally, I think the Peter Pan one is slightly worse, mainly because of that awful green color gradient. The cinematography is trash in both though, I can barely see what's going on-which I guess is a blessing in disguise.
The Peter Pan movie from 2003 with Jason issacs was a good adaptation of jm barries book
Same but l saw tinker bell movies and series first than Peter Pan movie cuz l start to love tinker bell and l watch the 2003 version one when l was younger and l saw tinker bell in this personality was so difference of her movies and series, So this is why tinker bell was my favorite pricenss of disney.

That film and Hook are the quintessential Peter Pan movies for me. There literally is no point making more live-action adaptations if you're not bringing anything new and inspired to it because it's not going to compete with either of those in terms of quality, especially with current-day Hellyweird. Pan already tried and failed.
2:41- 3:00
Oh yeah I totally forgot about Tinker-Bell's jealousy of Wendy, her short temperment, and sass. And they put that in a "black" version of Tinkerbell...?
There's a word often misused by a portion of the black community... A word that would fit perfectly here.
Welcome back!! That point when "Ariel" breached the water and threw her hair back....I said "she needs a chiropractor now"
Damn, sis, I died watching this. Also, I just got back from watching Mario bros. And they played the Little mermaid trailer. Being black I was wondering what the response was going to be from a mixed audience and there was none. People were dead silent. I had such embarrassment for Disney, man. Nobody responded to it at all. Disney really screwed the pooch here big time.
I’ll never updating why they recast characters in skin color, I know for sure if they recasted someone like black panther or Princess Tiana. us black people would be protesting against Disney.
"A girl. Shoot her. We have to make Neverland great again." Comic gold!
2:49 I can't believe she literally called Tinker Bell a "Hoodrat Bitch". I'm DYING. XD
Your opinions are so on point of exactly why people are upset about woke Hollywood. This was a joy to watch lmao.
its kind of ironically racist that people who make these films believe the only way to relate to a character is by being the same race/sex/gender as them.
What made the songs of the renaissance era of Disney animated movies so great was how theatre they sounded. For all that the songs were recorded in booths, the vocal work was robust, like they were on stage, and so it makes the characters feel like they're there, in the moment, singing their hearts out. Just that little clip alone sounded like it was meant to be recorded, if that makes sense. Which is sad because it does sound like the actress is giving her all, but it's felt this way with the last films and their songs. The original "Part of Your World, Reprise" is Ariel singing a promise to herself and to Eric, it's starts soft, almost unsure and in disbelief, then strengthens into resolve as she belts out for all to hear that she will attain what she desires. We hear the emotion and intent in her delivery. But this version...there's no emotion, no appeal to the audience to understand what Ariel's feeling and thinking, it's just meant to sound good and let nostalgia fill in the blanks. Which, like a lot of the film, despite being the 'realistic/live action' one, just makes it feel more fake than the original.
Wonderfully explained!! The singing is very stiff and polished, it does not push vocal boundaries the way Jodi’s did. With Jodi Benson, you not only hear her sing, you also feel it in your soul. They changed Ariel’s ethnicity for the sake of singing. But Bailey cannot act and her singing does not deliver the way a broadway actress/singer would deliver. You are 💯 spot on.
Its gonna be fun after Ariel loses her voice and we have to watch her depend on facial expressions to convey emotion 😆
Ursula: "And never forget the body language!"
Black Ariel: 😐
I fucking HATE the “trailer bass drop” my skin crawls every time I hear it
Hook OR the 2003 Peter Pan, which is a genuinely good movie. The fact that they cast Jason Isaacs as both Captain Hook AND Mr. Darling was such a neat detail that told you a lot about Wendy's state of mind in that film.
I think it's funny that Ariel is supposed to be a kind, adventurous heroine, but in this trailer, she purposefully makes a porcupine fish blow up. In other words, she's antagonizing this poor creature to trigger its defense mechanism. The problems just keep piling up.
Not only gender swap, also change different bird species from a seagull, to I think a blue tit bird? Why?
Why even bother adapting The Little Mermaid, when changes are made to make it less so?
How ungrateful, Lauren. They made these changes for you. 😢 ;3
Lol at the song, it’s overdone like I expected. Disney can’t make musicals anymore. One of the BTS of the original recording process for that song was for Jodi to tone it down and be more emotive, performative and less “singer”. It has that beautiful blend that a musical should.
This new version sounds like all the shitty pop covers Disney did of many of their songs. Like Reflections by Christina Aguilera 🤢
You succinctly worded exactly why I hate nearly all pop renditions of musical numbers. Celine Dion's and Peabo Bryson's Beauty and the Beast cover is probably the only one I like, but that's because they know how to use their voices dynamically. Lea Salonga's Reflection will *always* be better than Christina Aguilera's loudly bleated notes that don't even fit the song, and it's not even close.
You've just earned yourself a sub! I love your bubbly personality, dark humor, and unfiltered commentary! Had it been someone anyone else...they would've been e-lynched to oblivion.
Ok I did a frame by frame look at ariel surfacing, they tried to CGI away the arm that is clearly holding her hair. Her hair is standing straight like a mast and a pillar of water just so happens to be thicker than the surrounding water is also around her straight hair
I thought it looked weird...
The 2003 Peter Pan is 99% closer to the Disney original, so there's no point for that remake.
As for The Little Mermaid...they're not even trying. This is not just a bad remake. They butchered everything! From characters, COLOR, CGI, costume, tone, music, signing, etc. Even the dude playing Triton isn't that convincing. I guess Jason Momoa was too busy. All they had to do was remain faithful to the original source and make it colorful...yet they changed nearly everything for THE MESSAGE.
Original flounder was the kind of fish id have as a pet and love dearly, live action flounder is the kind of fish id fry and eat without a care in the world.
Literally
The whole reason of the Lost Boys being boys it's because it's explained in the book girls were too smart to get lost. ALSO, Wendy bein the first girl they ever meet and their mother-figure made eveything so special and the whole symbolism.
I have a weird peeve with the Part of Your World in the trailer...and it's because watching it side by side with the original animated Disney film, the live action looks so stiff. Both voices are lovely, yes. But the way Ariel raises herself from the rock with the waves behind her, the animated version is so much more... expressive than the live action. Really felt the magic of the "world" lyric.
THANK YOU someone FINALLY SAID IT! The actress Aquafina is SO BLAND. She has the same tone in EVERYTHING she plays. Why do they keep putting her in voice acting roles please just get professionals she isn't fit for these jobs. Her acting is quite forgettable too.
Also Blackwashing SHOULDN'T make me see myself in a character. Their CHARACTER should make me see myself in them. This is just CHEAP and Disgusting tactic to get people in and it is getting OLD.
8:05 they probably added the glowing tentacles to make up for the severe lack of color and lighting in the footage.
The fact that the bits with Ursula were some of the only scenes in the trailer that actually felt like they contributed some substance to the legacy of the original movie speaks volumes.
It looks so damn bad 😂
Bruh, this mermaid reboot came out 20 YEARS AFTER FINDING NEMO!! AND NEMO STILL LOOKS PHENOMENAL COMPARED TO THIS!!!

@@vim2339 Might want to take a look at the trailer babe, and might wanna take your Disney bias lenses off lol
If Disney really cared about diversity in their films they would have had black and white people in mulan. You ever noticed that crap? People on twitter yelling at a Hawaiian not being Hawaiian enough to play lilo in their other remake.
If these companies really cared they would take a risk and make a new original story to add more representation. Not just lazily race bend a few characters to shield themselves from criticism.
They could have for example made a story about a black mermaid that is trying to rescue her family from Ursula's garden of lost souls. That way they have a new story, they get to represent other people and they can still ride off the fame of the original.
Man, they really went in with the race swapped with this one. They turned sabastian from a lobster to a crab, holy shit.
he was already a crab though. hence the chef trying to cook him along with the chef saying he was a crab. rewatch the animated movie again if you think he was a lobster
@@personafanatic4597 He does look like one though XD
@@personafanatic4597
*SEBASTIAN = A Crustacean thus a Hybrid species and definitely NOT "A CRAB"!*
They could have just pointed out "The Lost Boys" is just a gang name, instead if "girls can be boys too!"
If they wanna make live action movies based off of their older animated movies, why not use the established film as a springboard for doing original takes on the film. Why not try what the Twisted Tales books do when making “What If” scenarios like “What if Alice was very, very late and Wonderland was in danger?” Or “What if Rapunzel’s mother used the wrong flower?” Hell, why not try any other public domain fairy tales?
I would be way more interested in that rather than seeing another shitty remake
I may have not liked Maleficent or the Alice in Wonderland remake but I will give them this at least they were original and not cheap shot for shot remakes
That requires work and time. Meanwhile, Disney needs to make 10 movies and shows in a year.
@@kingagrabowska9366 quantity should not be considered over quality, but here we are.
While your idea sounds great, it requires creativity, effort and originality. They want to pump out soulless, bland remakes that rake in millions with barely any effort, not actually make something interesting or compelling in any way....
@@Fesquishety and it sucks that the studio that used to have a lot more heart has suddenly become so heartless. They used to care and somewhere along the way, they stopped, they became so cynical that it’s just sad. They’ve got more money than God, they could make something that required effort, but they won’t and I’m disappointed.
Ah yes, it's completely logical that a hominid species would evolve dark skin living on the bottom of the sea where, as we all know, the sunrays are always present. 👍
You explained everything that is bothering me with this trailer. I thought to myself "hummm her face look like somebody I have seen before but I couldn't put my finger on it" and then you said Splice and I was like "oh yeah! She does look like her ha ha!" And yeah that hair flick thing out of the water didn't look comfortable at all. It almost looks like a crane swinging a heavy load. Also you are right about her not being able to act. That's the first thing I picked up from seeing the trailer. There is no expression on her face. That's a really good thumbnail by the way. I have never laughed hard at the thumbnail.
Same shit as with the lion king "live action". There's zero emotion and the disney lizard people don't seem to understand what made the animal sidekicks so loveable wasn't just the fact they could speak, but also their facial expressions. That's what gave them a more "human" and approachable look. But disney, as usual, is out of touch
Dude, we already HAVE a live-action Peter Pan! It's not Disney, it's from 2003 (a golden year for movies) AND it followed the book. This is crap.
What other 2003 gems on film can you remember?
Hey how come they didn’t put Melissa McCarthy in a costume or makeup?
To quote YMS about Flounder and Sebastian's appearance: "This animation would fucking terrify me if I was a child. I know this because I'm an *adult* and I'm terrified."
So essentially Disney is putting out not one but two crappy live action remakes, with woke casting etc and of course when they fail we all know who gets the blame. They’ll just say that everyone is an “ ist, ism, or phobe.
Watching these woke films inadvertently come across as even more racist than the originals is like watching Tom the Cat walking around on a floor covered in mouse traps.
It’s been over a decade since Jennifer Lawrence invented women. And now, finally, Halle Bailey will use her literally years of “life”(Hollywood) experience to teach the 4 billion women (and a few male pretenders) in the real world how to be proper modern strong independent feminists! Preach your wisdom, Halle!
What I find funny is that Disney wants nothing to do with the Princess and the Frog. They'd rather destroy all of their other classics to appease a vocal minority
Ok, if one can't relate to a fictional character who is of different race or sex because of those two characteristics, doesn't it mean that now only black women can relate and the other 94% of people (talking about the US) can't? Am I misunderstanding the premise of the argument?
4:25 this is what I feel about all marvel movies. why do they waste their time walking up stairs and elevators when they can fly, climb, teleport, do flips. they could've saved 100 more people in the time it takes them to walk up stairs during dialogue scenes
"She sounds like Rich Evans." Dead on. You're the best, J!
What is most jarring about the trailer for TLM is that it's indistinguishable from a horror movie. The ocean is loaded with eldritch horrors, and it seems as though Disney's goal was to cram as many of them into this thing as possible while inexplicably distorting previously cute versions of rather unappealing creatures so that children will recoil in disgust at the sight of them.
At least we should be spared the play-by-play of mermaid/merman sexual anatomy. Disney must be waiting for the sequel to show us Ariel's cloaca.
I remember some RUclipsr reacting to the Little Mermaid trailer and he said "Omg, this looks amazing"
I literally gagged for a second
The Disney CLASSIC animation needs to be in your home on PHYSICAL format, because Disney will not make any more physical copy and they will only stream THIS CRAP, and kids will never know how GOOD the originals were.
I've got my physical copy, and they're still available on store shelves right now
you have to be careful with streaming, they keep removing content from the classics they see as problematic.
11:08 Disney beat you to that. Crabs are not red until they're cooked. Sébastien is a zombie crab.

Animation can also, for lack of a better word, cheat.
Things can look almost too perfect or disgusting for a given scene, squash and stretch can be overemphasized to sell a few frames, etc.
Live action doesn’t usually have that option to fall back on.
