When Disney announced that the live adaptation of The Little Mermaid was in the works, I was thrilled but quickly thought, \u2018oh, they better not eff this up.\u2019 Just like any millennial Disney lover<\/a>, this 1989 animated film holds a special place in my heart. Of course, that meant filling big fins and the controversies soon pilled up \u2013 from Halle Bailey\u2019s \u2018not my Ariel\u2019 hashtag to some wishing that a drag queen played the campy villain, Ursula. But I blocked out all the noise and patiently waited for the release. I even avoided watching the original prior to the new one fearing that it\u2019d be a colossal mess like The Lion King\u2019s live adaptation. NGL, I left the cinema with mixed feelings. Don\u2019t get me wrong, there were definitely more hits over misses but I felt it was lacking the vibrancy of the original.<\/p>\n

The Little Mermaid 2023 review: An earnest homage to the classic but weighed down by flat CGI<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s start with the positives: Halle Bailey. I had my doubts when she was first cast as I\u2019d never heard of the American singer-songwriter but the hate she received was unnecessary. Now that I\u2019ve watched the film, I can\u2019t think of anyone else better to play this new-age Ariel. Not only does she have a killer voice, but she embodies the innocence and curiosity of Ariel to a T. I felt every bit of \u2018Part of That World\u2019 (sobs). And her haunting siren and voice change to Ursula\u2019s alter ego Vanessa shows her range.<\/p>\n

The new Ariel isn\u2019t just obsessed with a guy she just met; she\u2019s genuinely curious about the world above. When she becomes human, she isn\u2019t just swooning over Prince Eric during their date; she\u2019s loving the sights and sounds of the village too.<\/p>\n

They finally gave Prince Eric some personality<\/h3>\n
\"the-little-mermaid-2023-review\"

Sure, Jonah Hauer-King doesn\u2019t have dreamy blue eyes like his animated persona, but I love that his struggles mirror Ariel\u2019s. As an adopted prince who\u2019d rather travel the world, mingle with village folk and rebuild their port, he too feels trapped and weighed down by the responsibilities of being the future king.<\/p>\n

The trailer did him no justice and just like others, I thought he looked too old beside Halle. Yet, their chemistry proved me wrong. Even though Ariel lost her voice, they connected. Shoutout to the adorable scene during \u2018Kiss The Girl\u2019 when Ariel gives Eric clues to guess her name or when Eric gives Ariel a glass figurine of a mermaid. These are the details we love about remaking classics.<\/p>\n

Ariel\u2019s sidekick trio are better than the original<\/h3>\n

Some may not agree but I thought Daveed Diggs (who voices everybody\u2019s favourite crustacean, Sebastian), Jacob Tremblay (the adorable fish, Flounder) and Akwafina (the seagull, Scuttle) retained the original flavour of our favourite characters and fetched chuckles. \u2018Under the Sea\u2019 was a visual spectacle while \u2018Kiss the Girl\u2019 gave us the dose of Disney magic we needed. Good call on omitting \u2018Les Poissons\u2019, the song where Sebastian\u2019s trapped in a kitchen in the animated version. I always thought it steered away from the story.<\/p>\n

The classic tunes we love shine through<\/h3>\n

The music by composer Alan Menken and producer Lin-Manuel Miranda had its fair share of hits and misses. I\u2019m glad they respected the classics \u2013 \u2018Part of Your World\u2019, \u2018Kiss the Girl\u2019, \u2018Under the Sea\u2019 and \u2018Poor Unfortunate Souls\u2019 were brilliant. I also enjoyed Halle\u2019s \u2018For the First Time\u2019 which is the perfect Disney template. However, Jonah\u2019s \u2018Wild Uncharted Waters\u2019 gave High School Musical\u2019s \u2018Bet on It\u2019 vibes and \u2018The Scuttlebutt\u2019 performed by Awkwafina was a cringefest.<\/p>\n

A missed opportunity with Ursula?<\/h3>\n

Melissa McCarthy had the perfect voice modulation for Ursula. Close your eyes and you\u2019ll picture the treacherous, conniving sea witch. But visually, I was expecting more. Her expressions were restrained. I just wanted her to unleash the cunning monster which her alter ego Vanessa (played by Jessica Alexander) carried. Her makeup was also mediocre \u2013 they really missed the boat with experimenting with her iconic purple hues. I\u2019ve seen thousands of better makeup looks. And scenes like Ariel\u2019s transformation or when Ursula claims Triton’s trident and turns into a giant were lacking the wow factor we remembered as kids. Speaking of King Triton, casting Javier Bardem was great on paper. But sadly, his role falls flat too.<\/p>\n

I was also disappointed by the lack of screen time for the Sisters of the Seven Seas. I agree that the original didn\u2019t have much but why go through the trouble of casting amazing actresses (including Brigerton\u2019s viscountess Simone Ashley) when they\u2019re barely in the film?<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s Ariel\u2019s sparkly dress and iconic red hair?<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I had no issues with Ariel\u2019s gorgeous iridescent mermaid tail and I\u2019ll forgive them for leaving out her scallop top, but where is the red hair and sparkly dress at the end? They really robbed us of these moments.\u00a0 But the biggest disappointment was the visual effects. The CGI was all over the place, and some scenes (even the ones on land) were just too dark. They really did Flounder dirty too! I understand the need to keep it realistic but this is a Disney film after all.<\/p>\n

Overall, I\u2019m glad that the creators stayed true to the soul of the film, added a modern touch to the storyline and cast the characters perfectly. But I definitely miss the whimsical charm of the original. This brings me to another topic of discussion \u2013 should live adaptations of Disney classics be part of our world?<\/p>\n
