Vanessa turns into Ursula - The Little Mermaid (2023)

[peeplup]

For 15 mins of screen time, Jessica Alexander acted the hell out this!! Love her

[derrisEbynum]

The person who played Vanessa did great.

[marcuscarana]

That "shut up" was the sassiest Ursula has ever been.

[amandae]

Eric : " stay back! ".
Ursula : * pushes him * " shut up! ".

Lol

[erinbroderick]

The “you’re too late” line is so well done here!!! Legit scary and seeing Vanessa devolving into a demonic creature each time it shoots back to her in this scene is so satisfying as remaining true to the idea of the original.

Disney definitely made Vanessa a lot more diabolical and frightening in this version! Her performance gave me chills. Love the purple dress too! 💜

The part when she yells “YOU’RE TOO LATE!” as the soundtrack bass drops is very chilling

Jessica Alexander shot her shot with her 15 minutes of screen time! She killed it. Left a lasting impression

[jadenatthebeach]

Ok I don’t think anyone has talked about this but has anyone realized how Eric is a little shocked when her tail comes out and everyone is scared of her then and all freaked out, but then he holds onto her again tighter which I think is so cute

[JosephDutra]

Damn, Melissa has a scary ass laugh! And Jessica Alexander is so good with the little time she has!

[Smileandwavelol]

Jessica Alexander understood the assignment. 15 minutes of screentime and she nailed it.

[prinoone]

Why is the “ shut up “ so hilarious to me ?😂😂

[eratichumidity]

Jessica Alexander absolutely KILLED I Never thought that the live action movie would be as good as the animated one!!!! Jessica Alexander definitely has a future ahead of her after this

[josephpeterarguelles]

This live version is more scary than the original

[maggies.]

Jessica's outstanding performance aside, I love how Eric hugs Ariel protectively even when he learns she's a mermaid, whereas in the animation he just kind of stands there

[dallas_wannabeyt]

The OG voice actor for Ursula would be proud

[millieueu]

I COULDN’T STOP LAUGHING WHEN URSULA SAID “SHUT UP” TO ERIC LMAOO

[Cinedragon]

Dang, Vanessa is actually scarier in this one. Didn't expect that.

[TheGreekPianist]

0:06 That facial expression Vanessa makes is so chilling. She’s full of glee and bewilderment at Ariel’s transformation back into a mermaid, and she looks absolutely evil and demonic at 0:13 😳 lol. I love this version of Vanessa MUCH MORE!

[bobblehead]

When i was a kid, this part in the original movie scared me so much that I ran out of the room until after the transformation. Every. Single. Time. As an adult, watching this clip scares me just as much.

Just so we're clear, its not the actual transformation that I find scary. It's Vannessula's face getting all villainy and her real voice coming out of her mouth that scared me. The actual transformation was a relief.

Jessica Alexandra should be in horror films. Cause her cackle here my gosh scary…. she would be a great upcoming scream queen
