Synopsis of The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid live action still takes the same storyline as the animation that aired in 1989. Ariel, a beautiful little mermaid who is always excited about new adventures, wants to discover a new world other than the underwater world.
The youngest son of this sea king fell in love with a handsome prince while visiting the surface of the sea. Prince Eric is his name. Actually mermaids shouldn’t interact with humans, let alone fall in love.
However, Ariel, who was still very innocent, only thought about her feelings. He made a pact with the evil wizard, Ursula, who promised to give Ariel a leg to live on land.
However, every action will have consequences. By gaining a leg and a chance to live on land, Ariel is risking her life and her father’s royal crown.
Cast of The Little Mermaid
The main stars in the live action The Little Mermaid are Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. The selection of Halle Bailey as the main character cast a lot of pros and cons by netizens.
The reason is, Halle Bailey’s appearance as Ariel is very different from their expectations. Although there are many blasphemy against Halle Bailey, there are not a few netizens who praise Halle Bailey’s appearance.
OverallThis Live Action from The Little Mermaid will definitely be as good as any other Live Action that Disney is working on, so don’t forget to watch it together on May 26, 2023.
