Disney has been rampaging through their list of classic animated films and remaking them with a blend of live-action and CGI. The next on the list is The Little Mermaid! Because they WILL do to every animated movie they’ve ever released. They will.
The Little Mermaid definitely raises some questions. Like why do all the creatures have to look so real? Why is Flounder scary? If Ursula can just lie and cheat, why even bother with a deal? Did Eric actually fall in love or was he just under the spell of the Siren call? How many of these remakes are left?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Little Mermaid!

@petloverspy
8 ай бұрын
That’s literally what I was thinking while watching it. I have no qualms about making her more active in the final part of the movie, but let Eric the sailor maybe do the sailing part? Hell, she could even be the one to come up with the idea, but the way they handled it felt like it left Eric with … nothing he actually contributed in the whole movie? At least even though Ariel was pretty damsel in distress in the final act of the original movie she *saved Eric’s life* early on and was mostly an active protagonist (even making a bad deal is moving the plot forward!) - but Eric in this version does nothing plot wise but almost die, be in love/dubiously hypnotized by one woman, definitely be hypnotized by another, and then need to be rescued again. There’s a nice balance to be found where Ariel can be the primary force of moving the plot but Eric can still actually DO something

I saw it with my girlfriend, and it's certainly the least terrible of the live action remakes, but Ryan does a great job of pointing out why nearly everything they changed only makes it worse than the original. Also with Ariel on the ship at the end, I was thinking "she's never been on a ship before in her life and literally doesn't know anything about them or how they work, so how does she know what the helm does?"

I don't get why they make these inferior versions of their old classics, sure, its to to cash in on the nostalgia wave, because the people who watched them as kids are now adults, most with kids of their own. BUT!!! I still think by making it ultra realistic, that, they lose all charm the originals had. Lion King Looks super impressive from a CGI standpoint, but its boring compared to the original. also, the skin color thing in this movie makes no sense, the reason why people has brown skin, is because they are from places that get a lot of sunlight, and they need darker skin to not get sunburnt, There is no sun light at the bottom of the ocean. So she should be super pale if anything.

This does not make Ariel a damsel in distress, it's just a matter of strengths and weaknesses to give interesting characters we can relate to. Ariel shouldn't have a clue how to manage a ship well enough to "save the day", and without Eric being given a change to show humans can be heroic too, why would Triton change his mind about how terrible he believes all humans are?

The only real difference is that T’Challa was both the lead and the king. Yet his uncle’s kid wanted his rightful place. Etc. etc. etc.
