The Little Mermaid Review (2023)

Daniel, Shahbaz, & Anthony review Rob Marshall's THE LITTLE MERMAID, a live action adaptation of the 1989 animated film. It follows the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The film stars Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, Noma Dumezweni, Art Malik, with Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy. The Little Mermaid releases exclusively in theatres May 26, 2023 by Walt Disney Pictures.
