Memory is an amazing thing. You can go many years without hearing a song and when the music starts it all comes right back. Studies have been done with Alzheimer's patients who can't remember their own names but can sing along to songs from their youth. It's all how about how information is stored in our brains and how something acts as a trigger to bring those memories back to the service. Melody/harmony is stored in a different place from where words are stored so asking someone to recite lyrics without the music can be difficult but actually playing the music will do the trick. Anyway, I know you were just making a fun little comment :) but it's a topic I find quite interesting and did a bit of research on some years ago.
@maleahjohn5055 I don't know the different accents well enough to judge, but I'll take your word for it. According to the TV show he was born off the coast of Jamaica and studied music in Trinidad. I didn't see the live action movie, so I don't know what he sounds like in that.
This actually isn’t true because the movies aren’t connected. Triton in the Hercules series and mythology is originally the son of Poseidon but that isn’t the case with this one.
Fun fact; King Triton has seven daughters to represent the seven seas. Ariel, obviously, is the Red Sea. If you're interested, for the others, Attina is the Bering Sea, Alana - Black Sea, Adella - Mediterranean Sea, Aquata - Coral Sea, Arista - White Sea, and Andrina is the Caribbean Sea.
"They kiss like two plastic cups" had me snorting with laughter. OMG and The delivery of that line was just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 Keep the reactions coming Billy. Your videos always cheer me up and your enthusiasm is wonderful 👍
They apparently all have the same mother, and she looks exactly like Ariel. They show her in a prequel movie and, I think, also in the Animated TV Series
Take this with a grain of salt tho. With all the sequels and prequels that were made as a cash grab, a lot of them aren't canon. Many people, including a lot of the animators, do not acknowledge them as part of the original story. So it all depends on how you feel about it.
@@alysiabernardo8900 the animators dont get A SAY IN (sorry caps) whats true pf the story, the fact that arriels world isnt even teh og story means that technically The little mermaid is not canon, all because the people or animators do not acknowledge it, does not mean its not true to teh world they (the person that built upon and changed and made their own little mermaid) built,
ONLY differences are that Athena's hair was more faded; Ariel's hair is a much brighter red and Athena had green eyes, Ariel has blue eyes like her dad.
When you realize that during kiss the girl if he had gone through with the kiss, Ariel wouldve lost because he hadn't yet totally given up the girl with the voice for our mute Ariel. It wasnt until he threw the flute away was he truly in love with her.
Ursula is Ariel's aunt in the Broadway musical. She is Triton's sister. Melissa McCarthy is playing Ursula in the live action movie. And Ariel's sisters had the same mother as Ariel. RIP to Samuel E. Wright the voice of Sebastian. He died a few weeks ago.
@@reigningastrid339 omg that would be so amazing! I would love to see Ursula with the classic dramatic drag makeup, it just fits her character so well. Not to mention, Disney would be getting a bit more modern and inclusive.
"Why they dressed like Popeye?" lmfao, why are the sailors dressed like Popeye the SAILOR MAN? I'm sure a bunch of people already ragged on you about that. But that's hilarious.

I really wish Queen Latifah was playing Ursula she has both the voice and attitude to pull Ursula off. Not sure if anyone has seen it but her singing Poor Unfortunate Souls was perfection!
I have seen it and was utterly disappointed in their choice to choose Melissa McCarthy of all people to be Ursula. Damn shame. Queen killed it and would have been perfect
Ariel is my favorite princess. This movie came out the year I was born and as a kid she was the only redhead Disney princess. And growing up I was the only redhead in my school , so I got made fun of for it. So when I first actually watched and paid attention to it, I saw that Ariel was a redhead so my child brain went “I’m not weird because I’m a redhead, I’m just a mermaid!” And I’ve been obsessed with mermaids ever since. Lol. Also I’m going to meet Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel) at my local comicon next month so I’m so excited for that. I’m really glad you chose this movie!!!
Also you said Ursula would terrify you as a kid. She did to me!!! I had a little mermaid pop up book where Ursula took up 2 pages and I would have nightmares that she’d come out of the book and kill me. But seriously this movie is iconic. Also, as a request, you should totally watch the Descendants trilogy from Disney channel. They’re musicals and they are awesome! #bingers
TLM is the first movie I ever saw when I was 0 years old haha. My mom was 16 herself, and took me along to the theater when her and a girl friend went to see it.
Melissa McCarthy is gonna be Ursula, which don’t get me wrong, I love Melissa McCarthy but Queen Latifah played Ursula in the live tv version and she was incredible like literally the only thing that made that shit show redeemable and I’ve been saying that Queen Latifah should be Ursula ever since I saw here as Mama Morton in Chicago
Yo ngl Ursula scared the shit out of me as a kid. Saw the movie once as a kid and didn't watch it again until I was grown. She really scared me and Jafar from Aladdin gave me all the Stranger Danger vibes. Ursula and Jafar were the scariest villains of my childhood. Lol
Billy, here's something that MAY blow your mind: the actress who provides Ariel's singing voice is the SAME actress who played Patrick Dempsey's secretary in "Enchanted," Jodi Benson. Boom. :)
Ariel has been my favorite Disney Princess since I was a child. I remember singing "Part of your world" at the top of my lungs around the house and wishing I could be a mermaid growing up. I still wish to be a mermaid some days. Who knows? They could be real. 80% of the ocean remains unexplored.
Love her 💕💕 polyester is my favorite movie of divine check it out if you’ve never seen it also another fact is Ursula (and Ursula sister morgana) is King Triton sister that’s why she can hold his staff. it was said in the little mermaid two only Royal blood can move it.
@@adventuresinlaurenland divine is glenns stage name when I refer to a queen as her/she pronouns it’s because they are female impersonator that’s what a drag queen is if they are out of drag I refer to them as he/him or whatever they desire
@@kaiahevita956 EXCEPT in Divine's case. He said the female Divine didn't exist, Divine was a he. You can't tell someone what you are going to call them 🙄
Triton hates humans because his wife, Queen Athena was killed by humans, (as seen in Ariels beginning) she’s also the mother of all seven sisters. So yeah to him they are harpooning muderers who killed the Queen of the Sea
I should've known since you were keeping the movie under wraps 4 non members it was The Little Mermaid! Ariel & Moana are my fave Disney Princesses! Can't wait to see you enjoy this one! I can't choose a fave song btw; Part Of Your World, Under The Sea, 💋 The 👧... All classic BOPS!
I like Moana,Tiana,Anastasia and Pocahontas. Ariel is ok,i do know that she was modeled after Alyssa Milano from charmed so i guess that kinda counts.. @_@
I think the only reason people might be upset about Ariel being black is that for the redheaded community Ariel’s one of the few redheaded female protagonists that they grew up with. This was a common statement when the Annie remake was made several years ago.
@@Sapphire_Reacts agreed. It’s the same for the movie Annie But it was something I heard from white redheads so I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the reason this time. When they explained it to me it was about redheads being popularly portrayed as “soulless” or overly hot headed which they are tired of. Annie and Ariel were atypical of that norm and they felt more of a connection.
@@E3WEINER Plus predominantly natural redheads are from Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland or central Asia. Plus, it's tiring as an Irish descendant, that our history is practically the same, if not worse, but black people get passes we don't. If ever we try to say anything or try to point out the hypocrisy, WE are the bad guys, it's ridiculous and just spreads ignorance. THAT is what I have a problem with. Why take from other ethnicities when there are other ways?? Yall won't like it if it was the other way around
I know that a lot of people think that the deal is unfair; however, if you think about it, turning into a human likely requires a lot of power. Ariel's most valuable asset, as stated multiple times, is her voice. It is the logical payment for something like that. The impossibility comes from having to do it in only 3 days.
She would have such a hard time communicating since she would be without her voice - even if she had gotten true love first kiss from Eric - because she can apparently sign her name but can't write above waters. I feel like that was a plot hole. Should've been that she was forbidden to tell anyone in anyway about their deal which would've closed that part up.
The actor who played Grim in this movie also played Roger in the animated 101 Dalmatians movie. The Little Mermaid was his last role before passing away.
Having just seen the live action, I came back to rewatch this! Personally, I thought it was pretty good overall and Halle’s voice is undeniably incredible
19:22 My name is Aliyah. It has a somewhat long story, but I'll condense it: I was given the name Myracle-Marie at birth, and I was adopted by someone else, my mom, when I was 5 months old. My mom contemplated giving me the name Ariel for a bit, but she named me Aliyah because my older cousin, Alillah (who was 3 at the time), was meant to have that name if he was a girl. My mom was living with Alillah and his mom, my Tia Iris, and Iris wanted me to have the name since she didn't have a girl yet.
Thank you for watching my favorite Disney Princess! I love your commentaries. Also, I know someone said this already, but I thought I’d mention that Ariel and her sisters all have the same Mother. Queen Athena. She was killed by humans which is why King Triton thinks they’re murderous and hates them, and also why he hates music for a while. You learn more about her and that story in the prequel to The Little Mermaid.💜💚🧜♀️
This was my absolute favorite movie as a kid, I wanted to be a mermaid so bad because I loved to swim and sing. Now, as an adult, you made it 100x better with the commentary! Made me laugh and enjoy it even more!
Ariel's mother was Queen Athena. She was the wife of King Triton & the mother of Ariel and her six older sisters. She was the Queen of Atlantica and beloved by her family and subjects. Unfortunately, she died as a result of a run-in with a big pirate ship when Ariel was very young. A statue of her dancing with Triton is present in his courtyard.
So the sailors look like Popeye because Popeye was a sailor. Also in the original Hans Anderson Christoff story, when the little mermaid gets her legs, every step was filled with pain, like pins and needles or like a stabbing pain. There's a lot of differences, you should look up the original story
Not only that, but she does not get her prince and dies. Mermaids are almost immortal but when they die they become seafoam because they do not have a soul. But because she refused to kill the prince (the witch demands it for her to return to mermaid), she gets a soul and goes to heaven. The prince marries the girl he thinks he met on the beach, mistaken her for Ariel.
People that give a shit about the The little Mermaid cast halle bailey as the little mermaid can as we say here, "just shut up". I love that they cast her! She's a great actor, a great singer, a great dancer and she's gonna kill it. That's all that should matter. To everyone. Plus give black women more space in media!
@ramen oh ffs, Ariel is A MERMAID! Mermaids don't exist and therefore have no defined race. Ariel should have been a pale green and blond but no one gave two shits when disney made her a white red-head. Ariel was only white because that's what was basically the default. It's not even comparable to changing Mulan's race as Mulan comes from a CHINESE LEGEND and is a part of CHINESE CULTURE. Therefore yes, changing Mulan would be racist or xenophobic. Elezeiaz right, people need to just shut up because having a problem with having a black woman play a fictional species makes you look really racist.
@ramen Ariel is a mermaid. That don't exist irl. Therefore, they have no "race" and could be whatever colour. Green, Red, purple or orange if they would have liked. Most realisticilly she should have looked like Luca. Scaly and green. Either way if you or someone else can't relate to a character or see yourself represented only because the colour of that person's skin is different from yours than Sir. you're a racist.
I'm more concerned that black people are ok with accepting sloppy seconds instead of pushing for more original stories with original black characters. Taking an already established character and painting them black is so lazy and half hearted, but I guess Disney knows that it doesn't take much to keep black people happy so they didn't have to try🤷🏾♀️
Billy! THE LITTLE MERMAID was the beginning of the late 80s thru 90s Disney Renaissance. It destroyed at the Box Office. And as I'm guessing others have pointed out, the woman who played the assistant to the main guy in ENCHANTED did the voice of Ariel (and the voice of Barbie in the TOY STORY movies). A great (and the only?) live action mermaid movie you may want to check out is SPLASH... also a Disney movie (thru Touchstone), starring Tom Hanks (before he became Oscar famous and was still doing mostly comedies), Daryl Hannah (the eye patched woman from Kill Bill), John Candy (Planes, Trains & Automobiles), and Eugene Levy (Schitt's Creek, American Pie).
#BINGERS I honestly think you should watch the little mermaid sequel. In that Ariels a mom and the movie is about her daughter. A lot of detractors say it’s just a rehash of the first but there are subtle differences. Especially with the age difference Melody is 12 Ariel is 16 here and it’s definitely more coming of age and figuring out ones identity so Melody feels a little more relatable. Ariel knows who she is she just wanted freedom and pursue her passions, Melody doesn’t fully know her identity she feels like part of her is missing and is trying to figure it out.
#bingers Ever after (I think you said it's in your list, just letting you know we're still anticipating it) hey I'm here waiting for that suprise mash up with the movie budz reactors
All of the daughters have the same mom lol. Queen Athena. There's two more movies. The third one is where they talk about her and why Triton is like how he is. I definitely recommend it
This movie happened to be one of my favorites as a kid and it still is. I failed with the whole try not to sing when part of your world came up. OMG, not the proud family shirt! Now that show is iconic!
I love to see a reaction to my favorite Disney Princess! For the record, seven siblings is a lot, but not crazy. My mom is one of six. Fun piece of trivia: Triton has seven daughters to represent the seven seas. Ariel is the Red Sea for her hair. Allegedly, Ariel's mom is the Dead Sea. RIP The "weird shot" of Ariel with the sun behind her explains why Eric doesn't immediately recognize her later when they meet and can't be sure she's the one who rescued him without hearing her voice. He couldn't see her properly and was woozy from having almost drowned. "Where the coast guard at?" That one got me.
I grew up in Florida with hurricane season. There's nothing to worry about with that, as long as you've a good distance from the ocean, you can either stay and wait it out, or pack up and leave. The good thing about a hurricane is that you get all kinds of warnings about where it's going to hit. But a tornado?? Hell no. You have no idea when those are coming. I was driving once when one of my tires blew out and I was a sitting duck as a tornado crossed the interstate just a few miles ahead of where I was stuck. Didn't realize until that moment just how scared I was of tornadoes. Never again.
All the daughters are by the same mermaid. Their mother was killed accidentally by humans. The humans didn't realize what they'd done but ever since King triton has hated them
And whats more King Tritons seven daughters represent the seven seas. Ariel, obviously, is the Red Sea, Attina is the Bering Sea, Alana - Black Sea, Adella - Mediterranean Sea, Aquata - Coral Sea, Arista - White Sea, and Andrina is the Caribbean Sea.
3:23 Finally, I’m glad I’m not the only one who used to think that. I used to confuse Prince Eric with animated Dave Seville (Alvin) all the time as a kid.
The Little Mermaid and Ariel have always been my favorite things that have come out of Disney, and it astonishes me to this day that there are people who aren't familiar with it.
Rip Samuel Wright , Kenneth Mars and Buddy Hackett Love The Little Mermaid. Fun fact Jodi Benson voiced THUMBELINA in THUMBELINA and also made her live action debut in Enchanted as Patrick Dempsey's secretary Sam. Speaking of THUMBELINA;Kenneth Mars(Tritain) voiced the king in that film too.
My issue isn't that they made Ariel black, my issue is WHY the decided to make Ariel black. It's modern Disney remakes, they aren't doing it because they actually care about representing a culture and/or race of people, they are doing it to pander to a particular audience to make more money. It's why the live action remakes exist in the first place, a quick cash grab. If Disney had actual heart behind this idea, far more people probably wouldn't mind the race change.
I don’t mind it. Aside from the fact Halle Bailey is the perfect choice regardless of what race she is. I Just want 2D animation black Disney princesses to be back
there is actually a little mermaid that explains her childhood with her mother and why in the first introduction in 'little mermaid' Ariel singing is very important and praised by everyone that even her sisters sang for her. The title is 'The little mermaid: Ariel's beginning'
This was fun to watch you watch! I do gotta say I feel bad for any mute people who might watch this and hear your opinion on the datability of people who can’t speak
9:45 I love hurricane season, one time the road flooded up to my knee and some people tied inner tubes to their pick up trucks and just sped down the road
There is sa prequel movie telling what happened to Ariel's mother. Also, the voice actor for Sebations died just a few years ago. There's an interview on RUclips where he answeres questions about his career. He claims that everyone gets Sebastian's accent wrong (Even the Muana crab). It's a Trinidad.
Down here in Florida we get hurricanes and tropical storms every summer, you just sort of get used to it after while, like “Oh a hurricane is coming, guess I’ll buy some beer and throw a party!”
Honestly I don’t care what her hair is 😂 I really was never invested in little mermaid to begin with. But so far I enjoyed a lot of the remakes Disney has been doing!

fun fact: Hercules and Ariel are technically related because Zeus and Poseidon are brothers, so that makes Hercules and Ariel cousins.
But this is King Triton. They never made a connection to greek gods, because Hans Christian Andersen wrote it as Danish folklore.
And Hercules and Percy are cousins
Triton is one of Poseidon's sons, so Hercules and Ariel and first cousins, once removed
This actually isn’t true because the movies aren’t connected. Triton in the Hercules series and mythology is originally the son of Poseidon but that isn’t the case with this one.

“You lucky I don’t boil you up and eat you cause your legs is fire” 🤣🤣
I meant every word of that too 😂
I died 😭😭😭
Ariel has been my favorite Disney Princess since I was a child. I remember singing "Part of your world" at the top of my lungs around the house and wishing I could be a mermaid growing up. I still wish to be a mermaid some days. Who knows? They could be real. 80% of the ocean remains unexplored.
Little known fact but Ursula is actually based off of a drag queen. Her name was Divine. Also im super excited for the live action version!
Love her 💕💕 polyester is my favorite movie of divine check it out if you’ve never seen it also another fact is Ursula (and Ursula sister morgana) is King Triton sister that’s why she can hold his staff. it was said in the little mermaid two only Royal blood can move it.
Divine identified as male, he said so many times, stating that the female Divine didn't exist.
@@adventuresinlaurenland divine is glenns stage name when I refer to a queen as her/she pronouns it’s because they are female impersonator that’s what a drag queen is if they are out of drag I refer to them as he/him or whatever they desire
@@kaiahevita956 EXCEPT in Divine's case. He said the female Divine didn't exist, Divine was a he. You can't tell someone what you are going to call them 🙄
Aquaman MAY be related to Ariel, but HERCULES is Ariel's cousin.
If we're going to connect Aquaman you have to connect wonder woman too. Daughter of Zeus
Triton hates humans because his wife, Queen Athena was killed by humans, (as seen in Ariels beginning) she’s also the mother of all seven sisters. So yeah to him they are harpooning muderers who killed the Queen of the Sea
“Oh she’s destroying all her stuff that she stole” 😭 idk why but that was extremely funny. Also idk why u was hating on triton like that lmaoooo
#bingers Would love to see some more teen movies like

#Bingers - The Emperor's New Groove! It is the FUNNIEST Disney movie! - Also, A Goofy Movie. 😍
Love the Proud Family shirt. One of my favorite disney shows
Yasss!!! I loved that show as a kid 🤣
Cannot wait for it to return next year.
Mine too!!! Show was 🔥
"They kiss like two plastic cups-"
Laughed so hard my body forgot what oxygen was.
The reason why Ariel’s mom is not in the movie is because Ariel’s mom got killed by pirates you see that and the third one
#bingers Ariel’s Beginning
It wasn’t kinda her mother’s own fault she passed but I don’t wanna give away what happened if he hasn’t seen it yet
“What do they walk with their legs?” “Yeah sweetie, come find out about this third one.” 🤣🤣🤣. I just hollered! Hilarious!!!
This is one of my favorite Disney Princess movies. Also R.I.P Samuel E. Wright, the voice of Sebastian the crab. Legends never die
I should've known since you were keeping the movie under wraps 4 non members it was The Little Mermaid! Ariel & Moana are my fave Disney Princesses! Can't wait to see you enjoy this one! I can't choose a fave song btw; Part Of Your World, Under The Sea, 💋 The 👧... All classic BOPS!
I like Moana,Tiana,Anastasia and Pocahontas. Ariel is ok,i do know that she was modeled after Alyssa Milano from charmed so i guess that kinda counts.. @_@
You must like the ocean a lot lol
I think the only reason people might be upset about Ariel being black is that for the redheaded community Ariel’s one of the few redheaded female protagonists that they grew up with. This was a common statement when the Annie remake was made several years ago.
black ppl can have redhair - changing ariels race has no effect on her story, ariel could be blue and her story would still play out the same way.
@@Sapphire_Reacts agreed. It’s the same for the movie Annie But it was something I heard from white redheads so I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the reason this time.
When they explained it to me it was about redheads being popularly portrayed as “soulless” or overly hot headed which they are tired of. Annie and Ariel were atypical of that norm and they felt more of a connection.
@@E3WEINER Plus predominantly natural redheads are from Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland or central Asia. Plus, it's tiring as an Irish descendant, that our history is practically the same, if not worse, but black people get passes we don't. If ever we try to say anything or try to point out the hypocrisy, WE are the bad guys, it's ridiculous and just spreads ignorance. THAT is what I have a problem with. Why take from other ethnicities when there are other ways?? Yall won't like it if it was the other way around
I know that a lot of people think that the deal is unfair; however, if you think about it, turning into a human likely requires a lot of power. Ariel's most valuable asset, as stated multiple times, is her voice. It is the logical payment for something like that. The impossibility comes from having to do it in only 3 days.
She would have such a hard time communicating since she would be without her voice - even if she had gotten true love first kiss from Eric - because she can apparently sign her name but can't write above waters. I feel like that was a plot hole. Should've been that she was forbidden to tell anyone in anyway about their deal which would've closed that part up.
@@itazuranakisu I think that whole thing would've been easier if they used sign language, I know it already existed when the book was published (1837)

Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest
Best character is Tone Loc as a singing lizard. Great story too. It has very "Save the Planet" vibes.
The actor who played Grim in this movie also played Roger in the animated 101 Dalmatians movie. The Little Mermaid was his last role before passing away.
He was also Herr Zeller in The Sound of Music.
@@ifeelpretty5790 He was also Rama who was Mowgli's wolf father in The Jungle Book.
Having just seen the live action, I came back to rewatch this! Personally, I thought it was pretty good overall and Halle’s voice is undeniably incredible

Ever After: A Cinderella Story. It's my personal fave version of Cinderella and I never see others recommend it.
19:22 My name is Aliyah. It has a somewhat long story, but I'll condense it: I was given the name Myracle-Marie at birth, and I was adopted by someone else, my mom, when I was 5 months old. My mom contemplated giving me the name Ariel for a bit, but she named me Aliyah because my older cousin, Alillah (who was 3 at the time), was meant to have that name if he was a girl. My mom was living with Alillah and his mom, my Tia Iris, and Iris wanted me to have the name since she didn't have a girl yet.
Living here in Florida 🙋🏻♀️ currently waiting to see how tropical storm Elsa turns out. That girl really needs to let it go
Thank you for watching my favorite Disney Princess! I love your commentaries. Also, I know someone said this already, but I thought I’d mention that Ariel and her sisters all have the same Mother. Queen Athena. She was killed by humans which is why King Triton thinks they’re murderous and hates them, and also why he hates music for a while. You learn more about her and that story in the prequel to The Little Mermaid.💜💚🧜♀️
Billy: In awe of how many kids Triton has and assumes they're all from different moms
Me: Okay who's gonna tell him?
This was my absolute favorite movie as a kid, I wanted to be a mermaid so bad because I loved to swim and sing. Now, as an adult, you made it 100x better with the commentary! Made me laugh and enjoy it even more!
In the prequel “The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning” it reveals what happened to Ariel mother
Yeah it was sad 😔
Prequel it is revealed that Ariel is 15 years old.
I love that movie because you get to know all the sisters personalities!
Ariel's mother was Queen Athena. She was the wife of King Triton & the mother of Ariel and her six older sisters. She was the Queen of Atlantica and beloved by her family and subjects. Unfortunately, she died as a result of a run-in with a big pirate ship when Ariel was very young. A statue of her dancing with Triton is present in his courtyard.
So the sailors look like Popeye because Popeye was a sailor. Also in the original Hans Anderson Christoff story, when the little mermaid gets her legs, every step was filled with pain, like pins and needles or like a stabbing pain. There's a lot of differences, you should look up the original story
Hans Christian Anderson, lol Christoff is from Frozen 😂
@@evabartlett4599 xD yeah that one, I get messed up because their names are based off of his
@@C0deB1u3 All good 😂
Not only that, but she does not get her prince and dies. Mermaids are almost immortal but when they die they become seafoam because they do not have a soul. But because she refused to kill the prince (the witch demands it for her to return to mermaid), she gets a soul and goes to heaven. The prince marries the girl he thinks he met on the beach, mistaken her for Ariel.
@@s.b.907 xD yeah I just didn't want to type every difference, that's why I suggested that people read the original
People that give a shit about the The little Mermaid cast halle bailey as the little mermaid can as we say here, "just shut up". I love that they cast her! She's a great actor, a great singer, a great dancer and she's gonna kill it. That's all that should matter. To everyone. Plus give black women more space in media!
@ramen oh ffs, Ariel is A MERMAID! Mermaids don't exist and therefore have no defined race. Ariel should have been a pale green and blond but no one gave two shits when disney made her a white red-head. Ariel was only white because that's what was basically the default. It's not even comparable to changing Mulan's race as Mulan comes from a CHINESE LEGEND and is a part of CHINESE CULTURE. Therefore yes, changing Mulan would be racist or xenophobic. Elezeiaz right, people need to just shut up because having a problem with having a black woman play a fictional species makes you look really racist.
@ramen Ariel is a mermaid. That don't exist irl. Therefore, they have no "race" and could be whatever colour. Green, Red, purple or orange if they would have liked. Most realisticilly she should have looked like Luca. Scaly and green.
Either way if you or someone else can't relate to a character or see yourself represented only because the colour of that person's skin is different from yours than Sir. you're a racist.
@Maria say that without crying
I'm more concerned that black people are ok with accepting sloppy seconds instead of pushing for more original stories with original black characters. Taking an already established character and painting them black is so lazy and half hearted, but I guess Disney knows that it doesn't take much to keep black people happy so they didn't have to try🤷🏾♀️
#Bingers you should react to Zootopia. I love it!
Omg yes, he'd love it
Agreed it's a wicked movie 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Yes! and right after he should watch the deleted scene about the collars.
YES
''she look like a classy pepto bismol bottle'' PLEASE UNDERRATED LINE IM DEAD
#bingers Black Knight. With Martin Lawrence. Let's shake things up a little, Billy. 7-5-2021
YES! I forgot about that movie! So good
You: "She's going to stare at that statue for a while."
King Triton: "I don't think so."
You should watch Ariel's Beginning, that gives you all the backstory about Ariel's mom
Billy! THE LITTLE MERMAID was the beginning of the late 80s thru 90s Disney Renaissance. It destroyed at the Box Office. And as I'm guessing others have pointed out, the woman who played the assistant to the main guy in ENCHANTED did the voice of Ariel (and the voice of Barbie in the TOY STORY movies).
A great (and the only?) live action mermaid movie you may want to check out is SPLASH... also a Disney movie (thru Touchstone), starring Tom Hanks (before he became Oscar famous and was still doing mostly comedies), Daryl Hannah (the eye patched woman from Kill Bill), John Candy (Planes, Trains & Automobiles), and Eugene Levy (Schitt's Creek, American Pie).
“A gluten-free version”
Lmao
I spat what I was drinking man
#BINGERS
I honestly think you should watch the little mermaid sequel. In that Ariels a mom and the movie is about her daughter. A lot of detractors say it’s just a rehash of the first but there are subtle differences.
Especially with the age difference Melody is 12 Ariel is 16 here and it’s definitely more coming of age and figuring out ones identity so Melody feels a little more relatable. Ariel knows who she is she just wanted freedom and pursue her passions, Melody doesn’t fully know her identity she feels like part of her is missing and is trying to figure it out.
The 3rd leg & where it's always wetter snuck in there, LOVE that lmaooo
Yeah I be outta pocket forreal
#bingers PLSSS DO PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN
"I hope she has really good handwriting I really do" omg i almost spat out my drink 😂😂😂😂
#bingers Ever after (I think you said it's in your list, just letting you know we're still anticipating it) hey I'm here waiting for that suprise mash up with the movie budz reactors
Love the Movie Budz!
@@blazebaby89 one of the movie budz live streams billy showed up and they said they were working on a project together!
All of the daughters have the same mom lol. Queen Athena. There's two more movies. The third one is where they talk about her and why Triton is like how he is. I definitely recommend it
This movie happened to be one of my favorites as a kid and it still is. I failed with the whole try not to sing when part of your world came up. OMG, not the proud family shirt! Now that show is iconic!
I love to see a reaction to my favorite Disney Princess! For the record, seven siblings is a lot, but not crazy. My mom is one of six. Fun piece of trivia: Triton has seven daughters to represent the seven seas. Ariel is the Red Sea for her hair. Allegedly, Ariel's mom is the Dead Sea. RIP
The "weird shot" of Ariel with the sun behind her explains why Eric doesn't immediately recognize her later when they meet and can't be sure she's the one who rescued him without hearing her voice. He couldn't see her properly and was woozy from having almost drowned.
"Where the coast guard at?" That one got me.
Hi kitty
Ariels new beginning is a back story about what happened to their mom, It’s personally my fav Ariel movie :)
I grew up in Florida with hurricane season. There's nothing to worry about with that, as long as you've a good distance from the ocean, you can either stay and wait it out, or pack up and leave. The good thing about a hurricane is that you get all kinds of warnings about where it's going to hit. But a tornado?? Hell no. You have no idea when those are coming. I was driving once when one of my tires blew out and I was a sitting duck as a tornado crossed the interstate just a few miles ahead of where I was stuck. Didn't realize until that moment just how scared I was of tornadoes. Never again.
All the daughters are by the same mermaid. Their mother was killed accidentally by humans. The humans didn't realize what they'd done but ever since King triton has hated them
And whats more King Tritons seven daughters represent the seven seas. Ariel, obviously, is the Red Sea, Attina is the Bering Sea, Alana - Black Sea, Adella - Mediterranean Sea, Aquata - Coral Sea, Arista - White Sea, and Andrina is the Caribbean Sea.
@@jayamilapersson4030 In the live action version, they’re all going to be different races to represent the seven oceans. Ariel is the Caribbean.
3:23 Finally, I’m glad I’m not the only one who used to think that. I used to confuse Prince Eric with animated Dave Seville (Alvin) all the time as a kid.
The Little Mermaid and Ariel have always been my favorite things that have come out of Disney, and it astonishes me to this day that there are people who aren't familiar with it.
The Little Mermaid is one of most iconic movies of Disney and films in general. He would ppl not know it?
Rip Samuel Wright , Kenneth Mars and Buddy Hackett
Love The Little Mermaid.
Fun fact Jodi Benson voiced THUMBELINA in THUMBELINA and also made her live action debut in Enchanted as Patrick Dempsey's secretary Sam. Speaking of THUMBELINA;Kenneth Mars(Tritain) voiced the king in that film too.
there's also two more ariels and one of them is ariels beginning and it tells you about her mother.
I auditioned in highschool using Ursula's song Poor Unfortunate Souls... one of my favorite memories ❤
Fun Fact: This is the first movie I ever saw in a theater when it first came out. Yes, I that old! 😂🤦♀️
My first was Aladdin, but I was only 2 months old lol
My first was Mulan, I was two or three 😂
My issue isn't that they made Ariel black, my issue is WHY the decided to make Ariel black. It's modern Disney remakes, they aren't doing it because they actually care about representing a culture and/or race of people, they are doing it to pander to a particular audience to make more money. It's why the live action remakes exist in the first place, a quick cash grab. If Disney had actual heart behind this idea, far more people probably wouldn't mind the race change.
I don’t mind it. Aside from the fact Halle Bailey is the perfect choice regardless of what race she is. I Just want 2D animation black Disney princesses to be back
This movie got a frigging mindfuck of a TV series; case in point: the third episode of season 3
there is actually a little mermaid that explains her childhood with her mother and why in the first introduction in 'little mermaid' Ariel singing is very important and praised by everyone that even her sisters sang for her. The title is 'The little mermaid: Ariel's beginning'

#bingers Dodgeball: A true underdog story
This has one of my favorite lines ever, “If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball”
There is sa prequel movie telling what happened to Ariel's mother. Also, the voice actor for Sebations died just a few years ago. There's an interview on RUclips where he answeres questions about his career. He claims that everyone gets Sebastian's accent wrong (Even the Muana crab). It's a Trinidad.
In actuality Ariel was probably like 16-17 years old and I think Eric like 19-20
Eric just turned 18 when we first see him
@@Umbran_Alex oh
Down here in Florida we get hurricanes and tropical storms every summer, you just sort of get used to it after while, like “Oh a hurricane is coming, guess I’ll buy some beer and throw a party!”
I love that they're having a dark skinned actress play Ariel in the live action movie, but I will remain pissed that her hair isn't red.
Honestly I don’t care what her hair is 😂 I really was never invested in little mermaid to begin with. But so far I enjoyed a lot of the remakes Disney has been doing!
She’s not darkskinned but I get what you mean
@@jaslynn_nichole Well she's definitely not white
Who said her hair isn’t red? Wigs exist and some black people have natural red hair. As far as I know, she’s gonna have red-tinted dreads…
@@Chemeleon15 There have been leaked set pictures that show it's more of a copper shade, and not the vibrant proper red Ariel's hair is.
