Even suggesting ‘The Little Mermaid’ could reach a billion at the box office ends up getting mercilessly drowned

We’re a little over a month away from the release of The Little Mermaid, and the latest in Disney’s never-ending production line of live-action remakes has never been able to fully shake the bad buzz that’s dogged it at every turn.

If it isn’t the ongoing furor over Halle Bailey playing the title role that’s led to plenty of unsavory takes, it’s the godawful CGI that continues to be an issue with virtually every single one of the Mouse House’s major blockbusters, or even the fact it’s the longest-ever update of a classic animation causing potential paying customers to wince at the mere prospect of sitting through over two hours’ worth of needless exposition and additional scenes.
