The classic Disney movie, “Little Mermaid” will be a live action film starring an all-star ensemble cast. This film of course is fun, enchanting, visually stunning just like its other previous live action films like “Cinderella” “Mulan”, and “Aladdin”. I believe we are all in for a special treat. This film gives a new generation to see the film in a different way where they see a diverse cast playing the beloved characters of “Ariel”, “Eric”, “King Triton”, “Ursula”, “Sebastian”, and “Flounder”. Some new editions have been added to the cast making the story line more broader and exciting for the cast and the audience. I wonder do the 80s babies, 90s kids, and Millennials
remember all of the classic songs “Part of your world”, “Kiss the girl”, and other fun classic songs featured in the musical.

This film version of "Little Mermaid" is so significant and important to the masses. Halle Bailey starring as Ariel is groundbreaking, trail breaking, because the original Disney animated character has flaming red hair, she’s Caucasian, with bright blue eyes, and she’s beautiful. So when film casting, Disney team decided to go in a different direction. They wanted the character to reflect the times of today in the twenty-first century. They wanted to display inclusiveness of all different ethnic background to show how important little children, tweens, and preteens would see themselves in theaters and on television. I love their approach now because they want audiences to identify themselves, to feel relatable to the character. They nailed it Halle Bailey originally a child actress and started off as a duo with one of her older siblings, Chloe Bailey is one half of the singing duo, “Chloe & Halle”.

They both have reached mass success with their fourth album “Ungodly Hour” debuted in 2020 and achieved hit success on the Billboard charts. The duo decided to challenge each other a bit focus on their other musical pursuits and goals. Chloe went into the studio producing, writing, and recording her album. Also focusing on other television and film projects, “Hair Tales”, “Swarm”, and “Praise This”. Look out for her new album, “In Pieces”. Halle was discovered and selected for “The Little Mermaid” it was a no brainer her operatic, soprano voice, her acting abilities, this sweetness and her genuine personality it was brought that to the character. She’s bringing Ariel to life with a fun twist. So I hope all of the little kids, big kids, and the young at heart will be going to see this amazing film.
