The Little Mermaid | A World Reimagined

The story. The music. The heart. The cast and filmmakers of Disney's #TheLittleMermaid talk about bringing this incredible tale to life. ✨

See it only in theaters on May 26. 🌊

“The Little Mermaid” is 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 singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel; Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Eric; Tony Award® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian; Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle; Jacob Tremblay (“Luca”) as the voice of Flounder; Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as The Queen; Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby; with Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) as King Triton; and two-time Academy Award® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula.

“The Little Mermaid” is directed by Oscar® nominee Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”) with a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee David Magee (“Life of Pi,” “Finding Neverland”). The songs feature music from multiple Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin”) and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and new lyrics by three-time Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film is produced by two-time Emmy® winner Marc Platt, p.g.a., (“Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert,” “Grease Live!”), Miranda, two-time Emmy winner John DeLuca, p.g.a., (“Tony Bennett: An American Classic”), and Rob Marshall, p.g.a., with Jeffrey Silver (“The Lion King”) serving as executive producer.

I don't care what people say about her. For me, your voice and your singing was perfect Ariel for me. Wait and see the world, everybody will love you Ariel.

Like The part where Disney erase The comments of people disliking

[mariarinta-rahko]

Hallee's voice is beautiful and Melissa's Ursula is perfect. Can't wait to see the live action version it looks absoloutly incredible. Always Disney fan

[toxictredder]

This has convinced me either Disney or YouTube is deleting comments.

[faithoriginals]

She may not look like my classic Ariel, but her voice... her heart... She deserve this. ❤❤

[ashleyadeline]

What I love about this is that they chose her for her VOICE and her HEART and her TALENT.

[Krozilla]

The part that Sebastian said "Release the Kraken" make me feels goosebump, truly deserve the best movie of 2023.

[Goosebumps]

Her voice is magical, perfect casting for a sweet unassuming character. Her talent and personality are à perfect fit for Ariel.

[returnxs]

Ariel's voice is the main key, that is why The Witch URSULA and Prince Eric possessed of it....URSULA wanted it so ERIC can fallen in love with her voice not her looks. OMG can't wait to see this...Halle on the other side she is pretty she fit this role perfectly.

[Adarah]

The comments under this are way more positive than the ones on the trailer 😭 anyways can’t wait to see this in the theaters 🤗❤️

[meeeeeeeeeeeep]

I'm seeing this, she has a FANTASTIC voice 😭

[saver]

This is vandalism. If they hold such distain for the source material why bother to remake it, why not just make a new movie?

The appearance does not match Ariel’s setting, let’s not talk about it for now. The singing voice has no girl’s soul and no girl’s feelings and feelings. There are only too many showing off singing skills, which loses the meaning of this song.Disappointing!The tone of the film is always dark and unexpected.

I’m so excited for ‘Obama’ - Starring Ryan Gosling

[minutemovies]

Came in to see how bad this was ratioed, noticed that all negative comments have been deleted, still left happy...

[AnthonyNiroshan]

Halle was born to play Ariel!!!
This was the film of the year!!!
I watched it 5 days after it aired in VIP Cinema with my little sister, & that was hands down the highlight of the year for me!!!
Disney cartoon movie came out when I was 2, & the remake of it came out when I'm 36, what a time to be alive!!!

[insertname]

1:16 wow she's absolutely amazing

[lolidoll]

Fantastic! A light-skinned beauty named Sydney Abudong is replacing the brown-skinned Nani from Lilo and Stitch. Thank you Disney!

[CottonKandyCake]

I love seeing the behind the scenes of her singing with the choir

[MyInstrospective_Perspective]

So beautiful to see! I could totally see how she WOULD set the bar. Her voice is… unmatched! Can’t wait to support this movie and of course, Halle
