I enjoyed it, first mistake people make when watching the movie is comparing to animated versions. Halle Bailey did an amazing job. I thought that Melissa McCarthy as Ursula was good. The movie gave tribute to the original, for the storyline was more realistic than the cartoon , which had scary factors as well just not noticeable like the 1989.
Kids would love it!
Never compare an animated version and real action it will always be different due to realistic and believable storytelling,
