TOTAL SHAM!!!
A waste of 2hrs 15mins ruined my memory of the Classic 1989 TLM. It just kept playing in the background while i attended to other things. O so much anticipated for this movie with the hope that it would bring back the memory of the colourful Mermaid cartoon i use to know, where Ariel had bright red hair with red lip(stick)...lol, Flounder looked so cute, Sebastian and Scuttle were humourous; not ridiculously irritating & ugly.
The sweet King Triton i knew was muscular and handsome in his white hair & beards, filled with so much emotion, fathered beautiful mermaids with different hair colours but from the same race.
Prince Eric appeared to be a good fit but seemed pathetic & slow in role play. Some songs were an unnecessary addition too, most especially the "Scuttle Butt" song.
Btw,I thought Scuttle was a "He"?*face-palm* bcs as much as i love Awkwafina, i feel it was unnecessary to have made her voice of Scuttle.
Oh Sebastian! Poor Sebastian got screwed over with such a cold humorless and horrendous voice.
Melissa McCarthy as "Ursula" was the only reason why i saw the movie till almost the end.
