“The Little Mermaid” Remake Is Already Iconic – Here Are The Best Reactions
The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid hit cinemas this weekend, and after months of anticipation, it’s clear to see it was worth the wait.
Fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the movie, and they’re loving it:
the little mermaid ate so bad, why was everyone in the theater gasping and clapping… it was like a concert in there

You wouldn’t expect a fairytale to be such a tear jerker, but emotions are universally running high:

No one can get over just how perfect Halle Bailey is as Princess Ariel:

The impact the representation is having on little Black girls is beautiful to see:
My favorite thing about this new version of The Little Mermaid is watching how hard the Black moms been going for their girls. Ariel dolls, mermaid shirts, red hair etc. They did It up for these babies! pic.twitter.com/vKqHSAkkp7

The remake made a few changes to the original, and it’s safe to say they brought it into the 21st century perfectly:
In “The Little Mermaid” remake, instead of Prince Eric being the ultimate badass who saves his princess and slays Ursula, he’s tangled up in ropes while Ariel saves them both. pic.twitter.com/bBRGaUCHw2

the things i loved the absolute most about this #TheLittleMermaid were the things that made it different from the animated versionthe lyrics changes? so so much better, the new songs? ate!!!! prince eric wasn’t a dumb unaware side character!!! their love story MADE SENSE!! pic.twitter.com/NviDLd8Xg0

love that they gave prince eric so much more personality in the live action, we were actually able to see WHY ariel was so infatuated with him and why they were soulmates ?

There’s been a lot of thirst for Prince Eric, and rightly so:
the best thing rob marshal did for the little mermaid was for Eric to lean in and get rejected rather than Ariel. like that man was down badddd for her pic.twitter.com/PkO5kPpKbd
— El (@elstyles_l) May 28, 2023Twitter: @elstyles_l
clearly the little mermaid director wants the audience to jump through the screen and eat prince eric butt

Critics have well and truly been put in their place:
The Little Mermaid remake isn’t a mirrored version of the original. It’s an actual remake, so the same feminist critiques from the cartoon don’t 100% apply to this one.The plot is the same, while some undertones & messages have changed. And you won’t know until you watch it.
— Get Her, Jade! (@keatingssixth) May 29, 2023Twitter: @keatingssixth
the little mermaid was literally about a girl’s desire to live her life on her own terms, without her family’s history or prejudices guiding her ability to make choices for herself and be curious about the world and somehow y’all think it’s a bad message to teach girls???

i promise you kids aren’t seeing the little mermaid and thinking “oouu im gonna give up whatever for men” like no theyre just excited to see a mermaid princess.

Even the minor characters have been getting their fair share of love:
