- There's a new trailer for the upcoming live action remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey, Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy, and it actually looks pretty decent..? In this video i take a look at the new trailer, as well as the brand new poster, and I give you my initial thoughts and impressions.

They made Scuttle a gannet (diving bird) so that she can appear in some of the underwater scenes. Sounds like a great change to me.
That makes a lot of sense 😊
Plus she’s voiced by none other than Awkwafina
@Lilman Yellow That is subjective. I feel if you have to make a comment like this, I assume you just so happen to watch a lot of films that star Awkwafina in it.
I’m so glad they took a lot of time on this film! It looks visually stunning, and also every piece of acting is moving!
To be honest I knew they would that approach with the animals but they could’ve added a mixture of both live and animated to them but at this point it doesn’t really matter I just here for Halle and Úrsula
Seems like a mixture of both live & animated to me. 🤷🏽♂️ Sebastian can actually emote considering his eyes look cartoonish, has a human-ish mouth that crabs do not have, yet a realistic body.
Literally same just here for Ariel and Ursula also Vanessa
@@Militant-Mane yea they did for his eyes 👀 that’s it but nothing for flounder but it really doesn’t bother me I just hope they added max too
@@jpjboi1 Re-watch the trailer in slo-mo. When Ariel is swimming through the grotto hole with Flounder, you can see he was smiling for a brief second and then his eyes widened the moment Triton started speaking. I can tell CG-wise they’re playing around with the eyes & the human-ish mouth.
And yes, Max is confirmed to be in the film.
@@Militant-Mane okay I will check now and great Rob better not leave max out lol
They filmed in Italy actually! And I’m so glad you said that about the fairy tales! It does not necessarily have to be from the country is where it was written. Hans Christian Anderson wrote The Nightingale that was set in Asia.
Also the shampoo comment was hysterical
It's even hinted that The Little mermaid has a exotic setting. It's not even a kingdom far away, it could be indeed Italy, as this was Hand Christian Andersen's favorite country (same like Goethe's (; ), and we have such exotic vibes, like lemon trees, marble statues, so this is indeed not Denmark, but rather such a "warm" country; also the Disney movie is also inspired by Italy (or another similar country), if you take a close look. A lot of classic plays by Shakespeare are set in Italy or Ancient Greece, as well also even Danish ballets in 19th century (such like "Napoli") (;
With those locks that must have hurt as hell. Kudos to Halle for pulling it off.
hey great reaction video! im definitely with you, this trailer got me so crazy hype and im REALLY looking forward to this live action remake!
also for the record, the screen tests of this film have been really positive so there's a chance this ends up being good. if nothing else at least we'll have a banger soundtrack! her singing is just so phenomenal
Oh, that’s good to hear! Fingers crossed that we won’t be disappointed 🤞😅
@@RealRiise yup fingers crossed!!
I haven’t been this hyped for any live-action remake since Aladdin and that disappointed me. But there’s just something different about this one. As someone born in the 80s, this was the one that started my love for Disney.
Agreed! I was also very much looking forward to the Aladdin remake, but was quite disappointed with the film. This looks very promising though! 🤞
I also agree that The Little Mermaid could be the best Disney remake, because its as colorful as the original, keeps the songs and could even improve the movie with some additions. Halle Bailey is a great Ariel. And as for the fairy tale setting: It's even hinted that The Little mermaid has a exotic setting. It's not even a kingdom far away, it could be indeed Italy, where it is filmed, as this was Hand Christian Andersen's favorite country (same like Goethe's (; ), and we have such exotic vibes, like lemon trees, marble statues, so this is indeed not Denmark, but rather such a "warm" country; also the Disney movie is also inspired by Italy (or another similar country), if you take a close look. A lot of classic plays by Shakespeare are set in Italy or Ancient Greece, as well also even Danish ballets in 19th century (such like "Napoli") (;
Spain
According to Halle Bailey, they filmed in Brit and Italy for the little mermaid
That’s right! I believe they shot some scenes in England, pinewood
Yes absolutely! Yes. Yes.😊
Being caribbean myself, this is definitely set in the Caribbeans. We have tons of forts with that exact architectural style all over the islands. They date from the 16th century to protect the colonized lands from invaders.
That’s cool! Thanks for informing me 😊
@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 No baby, she's also wearing a creole dress on earth (specifically quadrille from what we can see) it is classic caribbean attire in Haiti, Jamaïca and other carribean islands. It was widely worn by women in the 16th century as it wasn't as warm as other clothes imported from europe & could be worn all year long (since there aren't many seasons here in the caribbean).
@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 the movie setting is Caribbean but like you said, it’s filmed in Italy, that’s what the person was saying
@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 It was filmed in Italy (Sardegna) but the story is set in an imaginary land inspired in the Caribbean (mostly)
D A N I S H STORY.
I think because it is not a cartoon fish, they did the best that they could do. I'm here for it still 100 all of it.
Scuttle is a Gannet, a diving bird.
Ah, thank you! 😊
You’re so right about that one scene of Ariel on land for the first time - that facial expression is SO Ariel!!!
I can't wait to see this movie 😁
That makes two of us! 🤘🧜🏾♀️
I really like your reaction. Since you’re Danish, the biggest question I have is: who is going to dub HallAriel in Danish? Because I watched Disney movies in Danish and I have to say… the voices of the 1990s are MUCH BETTER than the ones since “Frozen”. I mean, did you hear Anna and Elsa’s voices in that version? It’s day and night. Danish Elsa is super awesome and the Danish Anna sounds like a parody. So Disney Denmark, can you bring back a Sissel Kyrkjebø type of voice, please? Because I want that be the most awesome as possible and bring nostalgia to people who are going to watch it.
Hm… 🤔 That’s a good question. I assume they’re gonna dub it into Danish - they did it with Beauty and the Beast and Lion King - but I can’t find anything about who’ll be doing the Danish voices 🤷♂️
It really does look incredible, May can’t come soon enough!!! 🧜🏽♀️🫧loved your video ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
it looks so fake, her swimming, the hair, the everything.
@@awildpokemonuwu seek help.
My hopes that they do with the movie: Make Ursula related to Triton
Extend the Phathoms below sequence and beautiful costumes
The castle reminds me of Games of Thrones castles
Yes! It does look a little bit like a mix between Winterfell and The Red Keep 🤔
@@RealRiise right
Scuttle looks like an Northern Gannet.
This movie looks amazing! 🥰🧜🏿♀️🫧
Yes! A diving bird so she can appear in some of the underwater scenes kinda make sense hehe
Ah! That makes a lot of sense 😊
They filmed this in Italy they were around a castle and a beach it’s gorgeous where they filmed I’m excited for this movie The little mermaid is my favorite ❤️
This shows so much respect for the original as Italy was Hans Christian Andersen's favorite country (; also the aninated Disney movie could be set there
Oh, that’s really interesting! Do you know where in Italy they were filming?
Sardinia, Italy
It was filmed in Sardinia where I have visited many times. The castle is real
I’m so happy for this I can’t wait for all the new song and visuals
Finally someone who not comparing it to avatar, smh. It's beautiful 😍
Oh I'm already in love!
Ima be first in line to see this!!❤❤❤
Even though the poster does look a little too dark but Melissa looks sick as Ursula.
I've seen this trailer so many times now and this is the first time I've noticed the close up of him 😂
As others look for a reason to hate, some of us wanna get entertained and so far so good. There is no way Disney is messing this up, this is definitely gonna be the best liveaction ever!!! Great reactionl
Sadly, it's not that hard to find a reason though. The two sides are going at it pretty evenly.
Instead of Disney and the cast saying "we did our best", "trust the process", or "you'll like this version just as much as the original". Staying positive CLEARLY does help.
But NOPE! You have Disney actors calling the haters "Pathetic" in live interviews. With the media being like a bully's lackey giving the "Yeah! you showed them" kind of attitude.
Although I can understand. The hate comments are pretty mean. But going down to their level does NOT help the situation.(it NEVER had)
Many creators go through this shit, and yet they kept their composure. Stayed PROFESSIONAL.
Even Hailey herself kind of made it worse... (I'm honestly disappointed of her for a bit)
She even says in an interview that it will be BETTER than the original JUST because "progression" of Ariel leaving the sea for a man.
Which... If she was a fan of the original... She'd at least know the difference between the Book- which IS about a mermaid leaving the sea for a man who could NEVER loved her. Author even mentions how she was treated more like a pet, than a person by the prince.
To the animated film where her love for Eric was an EXTENSION- A BONUS of her love for the land.
She fell for him because she saw him as the embodiment of what she loves about a world she has mostly only heard about, but want to experience.
The tour of the kingdom shows this VERY well. As ALL of her attention is just looking around and experiencing things. Dragging Eric around not really doing ANY romantic advances.
It was the animals that were desperate for them to kiss. Not her.
And him falling for her because of how much she is just LOVING everything around her. The liveliness and happiness she radiates rubbing off on him.
That's what made their relationship so great.
And for Hailey to talk down about their relationship, while also making a pretty obvious mix up with the plot.
I... can't blame people for getting upset.

Instead of investing your precious time trolling and obsessing about everything Halle says or does please go watch your beloved original Ariel to quench your insatiable love for the cartoon as many times as you can and get the satisfaction you want.
We already know where you get your source material and how these pages are desperate and trying so hard to make this movie fail even before it’s released!!!
As an adult and a human being do better, stop idolizing a cartoon drawn and controlled by a human to move, emote and voice while looking for all sorts of reasons to justify your hate for another human being !!!!
Please don’t leave any more hate inspired twisted nonsense under my comment, your comments are not welcome!
The whole world is not stupid to see what you are doing!!!
Facts! And they didn't mess up. The movie was amazing, but of course ppl are going nit-pick every little insignificant detail. Hmmm I wonder why 🤔🙄
I will actually be venturing into a theatre (after years) just to watch this!
I was waiting on u your reaction 💯🫶🏽
H.C. Andersen wrote that the fairy tale takes place in the southern sea and the king, with whom the little mermaid falls in love, is the ruler of a nearby kingdom. Andersen didn't exactly define where it is, but it limits out at least all kingdoms from the northern hemisphere. H.C. Andersen's fairy tale also differs in many other ways, for example the undersea kingdom is ruled by the little mermaid's grandmother, the statue is made entirely of glass, the mermaid has no soul and there are no real villain in the story. For example, the sea witch is a neutral character in H.C. Andersen's story, who first questions the mermaid's will to exchange her tail for legs and warns that every step would feel like walking on sharp thorns and broken glass. But since the king doesn't love the mermaid but someone else, the little mermaid's sisters ask her to kill the king to get her tail back, which the little mermaid can't do and dies.
But I still find the idea that Disney's Prince Erik would be a white colonialist ruler in some colonial kingdom who has taken the lands away from the local natives still disturbing.
The 1989 Little Mermaid seems to be set somewhere in the Mediterranean to me. The landscape and the architecture of Eric’s kingdom makes me think of Corsica, Southern France or Croatia.
The live action gives the impression that they changed the location to 18th-19th century Caribbean, which I think it suits it better since Ariel is now being cast by an Afroamerican actress.
Kids little mermaid movie. Children have no issues with trailer or movie. Children trailer reactions are so adorable. Children are so excited about seeing this movie. It's some of the adults whining and having issues with trailer and movie.
The original composer has come back and wrote 2 all new original songs for the movie!!! Looks amazing !!
It will be the best remake in my opinion plus the cast 🤩🐚i love Melissa as Ursula and Halle♥️
Please let this movie be great please let this movie be great 🙏🏽🧜🏾♀️🤩
I can’t wait to see it 🥰
"And in the original, Scuttle was....a dude."
Oh sweetheart. You (and likely many more reading this) need to know Buddy Hackett's name. He was one of Disney's best comedic actors, with _The Love Bug_ (Herbie the VW Beetle) one of the most famous of their live-action films. The library is closed.
Absolutely. It was definitely not to disregard Buddy Hackett. My point was just that they’ve changed the gender of the character 😊
Wonderful 🧜🏽♀️🫧
It may very well be.
Deep in the ocean it’s dark..
Still too dark if you ask me but other than that it look nice.
Yes 🫶🏻
It's promising. But I saw the leaks for part of your world.
Most of it is good. The changes were expected. But they cut one MAJOR shot with a pretty bad edit. And that was when Ariel was slowly sinking down from the top of the grotto to the ocean floor.
In the animated film the camera zooms out. As if to show us how even she understands how impossible her wish is. How it was out of her reach. And this grotto is the best she can do.
Even now, that moment gets me to tear up. You can really feel Ariel's hopelessness. Before the fireworks some to give her hope again.
But in the live action they just cut straight to her already seated in the floor. And the remake just lost a lot of emotional impact on it.
It's something I feel they can't fix. But I hope they somehow do. And also hope they didn't remove any other great shots like it in other parts.
Especially when the music is so good.
L O L.
After 15 remakes you think this being the 16th is going to be better...more unfortunate souls😅
Bet you watched all 15 and will watch this one too.
Think your hair is receding ;p
ok.
No.
Just wondering, you know how people say that it is inappropriate for white people to wear costumes as famous black people or black characters, like during Halloween. So does this mean that it's inappropriate now for white people/white kids to costume up as the Little Mermaid or Tinkerbell?
No one said that. White People can dress up as famous black characters and celebs as long as they aren’t painting their skin black to look like the person.
Well, then also Cinderella would be inappropriate as there is already the version with Brandy. It's here about fairy tales, not about historical characters. But you're right, now as Disney is opening it this way, it should be also the other way. Let white kids also dress as Tiana. The whole thing with cultural appropriation should not be one sided...
@@felicity1877 I think the thing with Brandy's Cinderella, it was based from Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, and not really from the Disney's animated Cinderella, so in a way, it is less mainstream. Tiana or Naveen are not historical figures, but still, I doubt, a white adult or a white kid can easily dress up as them without ruffling some feathers. So I agree, it shouldn't be one-sided.
@@felicity1877
It’s not one sided. White actors/actresses play Asian, Native Americans and other indigenous people and yes even Black people. And people can wear anything they want, but Tiana unlike fictional sea creature Ariel is based on a real life human Black woman living in 1920’s pre civil rights era America.
@@nubiannile4606 Actually, the thing with Tiana as argument is more complicated, as Ariel is also based on the The Little Mermaid, and she is clearly described in Andersen's tale as white, and she is inspired by a white actress, Alyssa Milano. Theoretically, also Tiana as character would work as a white person (I know it's New Orleans with a stronger black population, but still also with white, of course). But it's right to say that Tiana was created as a black girl because Disney wanted to introduce a black princess, and so she should be kept also as black in her live action adaption. Ariel was created as a modern, young and lively character for a young modern audience (and she doesn't have a clear nationality, - I hate when the word "race" is used in this context), and so Halle Bailey can be of course also Ariel. The animated characters are anyway so unique that they would never be fully embodied by their live action counterparts (so one could always spot differences, I guess).
You're right that there are also such examples of the other sided race bending, as this had been rather in the past (when there had been less such diverse actors/actresses around anyway - because it had been also much more about celebrities than proper "representation"), and it's still happening, yet, I would rather say that's happening with less established characters (at least, I wouldn't recall now a famous example) and it's not connected with such marketing as within Disney.
Every remake has been trash so...Maybe?
But most likely, this will be trash too...Because remaking what is already grand can only produce an inferior thing.
Couldn’t disagree more. To me, as a die hard TLM fan, this appears to be the WORST live action ever made. For starters, they’re changing the love story line, not making Eric as much of a focus for her as he originally was. Secondly, the sidekick animal characters look and sound AWFUL. The movie looks very dark/dreary. Ariel’s hair is her trademark, and HB’s hair is lackluster brownish red (terrible). Triton is miscast. And the worst part is while HB has a nice voice, she is a flat actress. She barely has ANY facial expressions at all. This extended trailer proved my worst fears: a bad, inexperienced actress will take on one of the most iconic princesses of all time. Epic fail.
I couldn’t agree with you more!
This movie is a disaster and Disney deserves it.
This is a horrible trailer. Aerial is a white red head mermaid. The official trailer has over 1 million dislikes and not even 400,000 likes.
This is not the Mermaid people grew up with and the majority have rejected this disgraceful trailer.
This movie will be a HUGE flop.
Then better learn how to spell her correctly, if she's so important...as for me,too, but of course, Halle Bailey is not Ariel. She's an actress casted as this part. That's the difference (:
Omg shut up go and watch the cartoon like or dislike 👎🏼 is nothing most of them a bot 🤖

You have a copy of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child behind you, I can't trust your opinion when you say something is good.
Sure, I own the book, but I didn’t say I like it though 😅
