I always love the little mermaid since I was a child. Halle Bailey played as Ariel and I knew about it since more than a year ago, I was from full of question marks around my head till accepting this. When I saw this movie, my question marks are coming out again that why King Triton is white? And why Prince Eric's mom is black? Did I miss the explanations in the movie maybe..like is the queen a real biological mother of Prince Eric?
I can tell why this movie is not popular in China, and usually all Disney movies should be popular in China. It's not about the race or racism, it's about making sense or not. Halle Bailey is wonderful in the movie, but this time Disney is not making sense why a white father can have a completely black and asian daughters...why a black mother can born a completely white prince 😵💫
