I was all the way here for it. Live actions can often go badly. As far as Disney live actions go, this one stayed VERY close to the original. A few small script changes, an extra song or two here and there, but overall, outstanding. The visuals were sensational. Casting, well I feel at least the male cast members kind of dragged it down a bit but they weren’t terrible. Melissa McCarthy was born to be Ursula haha! The kids loved it and this long time mermaid fan was hooked.
