Gee, and it only seems like yesterday she was a hit and run driver on the streets of La.
IWriteAllDay_ The six-effs in these replies are maaaaaadddddd
Shawn Mendes would have been a perfect Prince Eric but I guess they're going a different direction. Will Sebastian still be a lobster? Flounder a fish?
IWriteAllDay_ Oh nice!
It's official: Hollywood hates redheads!
Oh the comments... so many butt hurt white people... ❄️
She isn't red headed. Makes NO SENSE
'Dear Blacks, Sorry we suckered you into welfare ridden drug infested concentration plantations with no jobs and no hope, how about we cynically cast token blacks on a few TV shows and movie reboots for ya? Ok good. See you at the polls, vote early, vote often.' - Demo-rats
Why ruin TheLittleMermaid now? After having ruined Charmed with its cheap reboot.... something is wrong with Hollywood and its politically correct. Ariel is not a black character. C’mon!!! We love black people with all our hearts. But c’mon!!!!!!
Bullfuckingshit what a waste
Anyone ever heard of her?
This is Black Panther all over again. Can’t comment on the movie without being labeled a racist. I’m just hoping they don’t change the storyline, like they’re doing to Mulan ....
Not to sound racist, but I just want them to look like their animated counterparts. It's okay to racebend characters like Prince Eric and Ursula/Vanessa, but not the lead role.
She doesn't look like Ariel. Ariel is a well-known character and everyone knows her as a white, redheaded, green-eyed young girl. If they want to add more diversity in the movies just make new stories with new characters. Like Moana and Coco.
People locks can be coloured.
Why are we ruining classics
Wow...
I read “Halle Berry” and thought “well that’s an unusual casting choice”...
Why does skin color matter, it’s just a made up story....& Incase people don’t know it’s actually Great to break these Roles from just White women playing them! & also anyone can pull off red hair Rihanna did & she obviously isn’t white! 🤷🏻♀️
Hmmm Little Mermaid is a Danish Fairytale confused
Nope doesn’t work for me for Ariel. Not who I was imagining for the live action Ariel.

Not interested in seeing any of these new live action films since Beauty and the Beast was so terrible. I wish you would stop ruining my childhood, Disney!
Who?
Shame and worst cast EVER for our the most beloved Disney's white prinsses
I'm so angry with this! So what? C'mon respect the movie as it is and accept it! I don't want to see this movie now, they are destroying it
Oh, dear... 😔
who the hell is that? nope...not even because of skin color....just....no...they are ruining all the classics! zendaya should have been ariel!
Reverse discrimination. This young lady might be fantastic, but for Disney purists, this is not a good fit. I loved the Little Mermaid AS IT WAS. Either remain purists or don’t re-do a classic that was already perfect to fit with some perceived social trend.
Ariel was just a little girl in the cartoon. She is not that young
Buuuh!!! Disappointed choice! They destroyed my favorite disney princess! She's not Ariel at all!
Should’ve made Ariel a dude.
I have no idea who she is but here's to hoping she makes this a career-defining role
Who is she?
Me Zendaya
Ok a little ethnical change... might not go over very well with some folks
I read this too fast and got excited for this
Fuck. No.
Or like, don't call it a Remake and just make her into a new character, new story, new identity for people to love - not a cash grab. Changing the skin color of a main character isn't the 'bringing something new to the table' that people have been asking for.
BobEmilyFan24 As long as they don't remake make Pocahontas or The Hunchback of Nortre Dame, I'm good. They're already fucking up, Mulan, and Pocahontas & THOND are my favorites.
nope
que manera de cagarla 😤
que manera de cargarla 😤🥴
Great choice Disney movies
She may be black but Disney is still going to keep her character white so there is literally no point to making to this change. If they change her character to fit this change, sure go ahead - make the mermaid from Denmark a POC.
Live countdown to when the racists start complaining.
h ...
I’m not sorry...can they have a white girl pkay Tiana when that becomes a live action film?!?! 🤯
This is EXCELLENT casting !! I can already hear her singing part of your world 😍
another shit disney movie coming soon to a theater near u hahahaha
Dayuranni
I never liked the TheLittleMermaid so I really don't care who they cast.
IM SO HAPPY FOR HER 😍💯 She is an amazing singer and I can’t wait to see what she does with the role!!!
As long as she has red hair and can act who cares
Why don’t they cast a guy if details don’t matter nowadays?
Congratulations Halle. Wooh these comments.
Oh yeah looks just like Ariel.... ugh
No
majoseo23
Amy Adams would have been perfect!!
Omg listen to her sing!!! Wow.
this is just, no. she doesn’t look anything like Ariel, I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT SKIN COLOR, Ariel is know because of her red hair. this is why i’m not gonna watch it, Disney is ruining good classic movies in live action. i have nothing against Halle Bailey
The resemblance is amazing 👍
?
Disney Are you serious?!? Like WTF?!? This doesn’t make any sense at all. 👎🏼
Hahahahaaa.... Wtf
Wtf?
*sigh*
Yes yes yes yes all in!
whaaaaaaat
