The Big Picture The Little Mermaid is the latest in line of the Disney live-action remakes, directed by Rob Marshall. Following in the likes of Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Cinderella. With this comes the expected deeper exploration of the classic stories we know and love, as well as updating them for modern audiences. The original The Little Mermaid hit theaters in 1989, kicking off the Disney Renaissance.
The other live-action remake that had tweaked songs was Bill Condon's Beauty and the Beast. Similar to Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast had lyrics omitted and changed. Here though, they had the benefit of having cut lyrics from the composer Howard Ashman, who had passed away. Notable changes are the cut lyrics "and every last inch of him is covered in hair" in "Gaston.
"Kiss the Girl" Needed to Include Consent Two songs have changed in the remake of The Little Mermaid. When it comes to "Kiss the Girl," it is easy to see why these lyrics have been tagged to be updated. The song revolves around Sebastian , Ariel's crustacean friend, who is trying to get Prince Eric to kiss Ariel to break Ursula's curse. "Kiss the Girl" is perhaps one of the most iconic Disney love songs ever, especially from the Renaissance films.
Young Girls Deserve Better Than the Original "Poor Unfortunate Souls" "Poor Unfortunate Souls," the iconic villain song sung by Ursula to manipulate Ariel into giving up her voice is the other song explicitly tagged for some changes in Marshall's upcoming remake. In this song, Ariel is trading her voice to become human for three days by signing Ursula's contract.
