The Little Mermaid Live Action: We must give it a chance // By @alexarelatos - ENG - SPA
The Little Mermaid Live Action: We must give it a chance / La Sirenita Live Action: Debemos darle una oportunidad
Greetings fellow moviegoers, perhaps it is a bit daring of me to bring to the forefront the new live action of the Little Mermaid. However, since I grew up with all the Disney fantasy (I was born in 1984) and I was also a viewer of the animated movie, I would like to share my opinion with you.
It is very common for a reader's expectations to rise when a book is brought to the big screen; the same happens to the viewer of a cartoon when it is turned into a film interpreted by humans.
Saludos amigos cinéfilos, quizás sea un poco osado de mi parte traer a la palestra el nuevo live action de la Sirenita. Sin embargo, como crecí con toda la fantasía de Disney (nací en 1984) y además fui espectadora de la película animada, quisiera compartirles mi opinión.
Es muy común que aumente las expectativas de un lector cuando un libro es llevado a la gran pantalla; lo mismo ocurre con el espectador de un dibujo animado y este es convertido en un film interpretado por humanos.
Where does the animated movie The Little Mermaid come from?
This animated movie was based on the book The Little Mermaid (1836) and its author is the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. In 1989 Disney published the story with some modifications with respect to the original version.

Why is there controversy with The Little Mermaid Live Action?
Just a few days ago the trailer of the new version was made public, bringing with it a wave of criticism about the Afro-descendant origin of the actress who plays Ariel, who bears little resemblance to the little Danish mermaid we knew in the cartoons.
I admit that at first I was shocked not to see the protagonist I remembered from my childhood; however, when I saw the trailer and heard the melodious voice of actress Halle Bailey (I didn't know her 😮), I forgot the old Ariel and paid attention to this talented young woman.
¿Por qué hay controversia con The Little Mermaid Live Action?
Hace apenas algunos días se hizo público el trailer de la nueva versión, trayendo consigo una ola de críticas sobre el origen afrodescendiente de la actriz que interpreta a Ariel, quien tiene muy poco parecido con la sirenita danesa que conocimos en los dibujos animados.
Reconozco que en principio me impactó no ver a la protagonista que recordaba en mi niñez; sin embargo, al ver el trailer y escuchar la melodiosa voz de la actriz Halle Bailey (no la conocía 😮) , me olvidé a la antigua Ariel y presté atención a esta talentosa joven.
Final Conclusions
In my opinion it is unfair to make judgments about the appearance of the protagonist, when there are many aspects that today that have been modified from its original version, not only in cinema, brands, technologies, life itself and somehow we have adapted.
We have the option to decide whether or not to see the movie, let's wait for its premiere, let's focus our opinions on other elements and let's make the necessary criticisms that give an added value to this Disney classic, let's forget our race completely and let's highlight the talent.
Conclusiones Finales
A mi parecer es injusto emitir juicios sobre la apariencia de la protagonista, cuando hay muchos aspectos que en la actualidad que han sido modificados de su versión original, no solo en el cine, las marcas, las tecnologías, la vida misma y de alguna manera nos hemos adaptado.
Tenemos la opción de decidir sobre ver o no la película, esperemos su estreno, enfoquemos nuestras opiniones a otros elementos y hagamos las críticas necesarias que le den un valor agregado a este clásico de Disney, olvidemos por completo nuestra raza y hagamos destacar el talento.

I've seen the animated film and it was worth the watch but I haven't seen this one yet, in just reading of it now. It'll seen interesting I think and I'll definitely check it out during the weekend as weekends for me is for movies and chills. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for your visit. Let's wait for its release in May 2023 to see how the story is. Greetings!
😌, waiting patiently
I agree with you in part! why not do another mermaid movie then? Lately they are adding any actor with different characteristics from the original. They want to say that the character can be filled with any actor despite of ethnicity, skin color . Let's take an example about the Sandman, netflix series. Morpheus remind a lot about the one found in comics... that creates an attachment to the tv show or movie...
well , but I will watch it anyways for sure, with a new eyes like I didn't know about little mermeid.
!1UP
You are right, there are many ways to generate "inclusion". We just have to wait for the premiere and see how the film is. Hopefully the story will captivate and there will be no other noticeable changes from the 1989 version.
