We understand the problems with live action remakes of animated classics. Plenty of Disney’s attempts at them have been poor, and one of the most recent (Peter Pan & Wendy) was frankly average at best. So, fans have every right to feel some trepidation about The Little Mermaid, even though there are already some positive reviews. But, as is always the case when there’s a change made to bolster representation in films or television, plenty of people were complaining about the “realism” of non-white Halle Bailey as Ariel before a single frame of the film had been released. Yet, these people seem to be quiet when it comes to another important character in the film undergoing a much more radical transformation.
Interesting that the new#TheLittleMermaid changes Ursula from a squid to an octopus. Haven't seen any online fury over this though! It's almost as if people don't really actually care about changes in these movies afterall… until skin colour comes into it. Weird.
