I love the little mermaid, but this remake was awful. I couldn’t stay interested in the movie. I paid for it on vudu because my daughter wanted to watch it and we were both uninterested and unhappy with the songs. The only song I truly liked was Ursula’s song, Melissa McCarthy did an amazing job playing the part of Ursula. The other songs were horrible. Halle Bailey ruined our most favorite songs with her voice. My daughter and I were so disappointed that we even stopped watching the movie for an hour and tried to come back to it later. It took her twice as long to finish it and I didn’t even bother finishing it because we just didn’t enjoy it at all.
Scuttle was funny, Awkwafina is a super funny actress and we love the movies she plays in. We just can’t seem to understand why a seagull would be able to breathe and talk under water.
Why change the names of Ariels sisters? and why is their ethnicity not even the same as each others? What was the point of that? Is that to say that king Triton sleeps around and has kids with multiple mermaids? I thought him and Queen Athena had 7 daughters, how could they possibly pop out children of different ethnicities?
Why change the lyrics to songs and add the others? Why even change the storyline? If they wanted the live version to be different from the original, then a whole new movie should’ve been made and named something entirely different because this did not meet the mark by any means.
I hate that a movie I loved so much was ruined to this extent. Don’t waste your money and wait till you can watch it for free cause it’s hardly even worth your time, let alone your money.
