Disney has finally announced the official release date for its live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. The film will open in theaters on May 26 2023. It will feature Halle Berry and Jodi Benson in the lead roles, along with director Rob Marshall, who is the first woman to direct a Disney film.

Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has an official release date

A new live-action version of the classic Disney animated film The Little Mermaid is in the works. Director Rob Marshall is set to helm the project and the remake will open in theaters in May of 2023.

The movie is loosely based on the Hans Christian Andersen story. It follows a young mermaid named Ariel who trades her voice for human legs in order to be on land with her prince. She makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula.

The Little Mermaid is set to arrive on May 26, 2023. It was initially slated to premiere in the spring of this year. However, production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced the movie to be pushed back.

The Disney remake will follow the story of Ariel, a young mermaid princess, who lives in the kingdom of Atlantica. When she meets the evil sea witch Ursula, she makes a deal. After making the deal, she becomes human and tries to impress the prince.

Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Javier Bardem as King Triton and Daveed Diggs as Sebastian. They will be joined by Melissa McCarthy as the sea witch Ursula.

Alan Menken will return to compose music for the movie. He previously composed music for the 1989 animated version of the story. This time, Menken will collaborate with Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda to write four additional songs.

Halle Bailey will portray Ariel, a mermaid princess who is the daughter of King Triton. She also has six sisters with different names. In the original film, Ariel has red hair. But in the live-action version, her hair will be dyed a vibrant green.

The Little Mermaid will be directed by Oscar nominee Rob Marshall. He is also the director of the Broadway play Chicago. His other directorial efforts include the sequel to Mary Poppins, titled Mary Poppins Returns. He is also known for directing the films Pinocchio and Into the Woods.

The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is expected to feature some of the best visual effects of all time. It will also have a cast full of Hollywood stars.

Jodi Benson’s role as Ursula

The Disney live action remake of The Little Mermaid will be out May 26, 2023. It will star Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, and Javier Bardem as King Triton. Other actors include Awkwafina, who plays Scuttle, and Jacob Tremblay, who voices Flounder.

Fans of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ classic have been excited about the new version of the movie. Some have expressed concern about the casting of a black actress, while others were glad to see the return of Ariel. But some fans have also complained about the trailers for the upcoming film.

Benson voiced Ariel in the original 1989 animated film. She’s been very vocal about the upcoming live-action remake. When contacted by PEOPLE for comment, Disney didn’t respond. However, the actress did speak out at the Florida Supercon convention last month, and she’s also shut down the #NotMyAriel hashtag.

Although many fans were hoping for a shot-for-shot remake, Disney has instead decided to take a different route. They’ve re-envisioned the story of The Little Mermaid, and re-cast Ariel and Ursula. Instead of the red-headed singing mermaid, the new film will feature Ursula as a mermaid princess who’s a sister of King Triton.

In addition to Benson’s role as Ariel, the remake will also feature new characters. Noma Dumezweni will play the character Queen Selina. David Diggs will play Sebastian, and Awkwafina will be Scuttle.

While some fans have been disappointed with the casting of a black actress, Jodi Benson is happy to be a part of the film. She was involved in the original film’s voice work, and she’s continuing to carry Ariel’s values. And, she says, race wasn’t as important as telling a good story.

The live-action remake will boast a wide variety of actors and actresses, including Awkwafina, Halle Bailey, and Melissa McCarthy. And, Alan Menken will be back as the film’s composer. This will allow the live-action version to retain the classic songs from the original film.

If you’re interested in seeing the original film, you can buy it on Blu-ray or on 4K Ultra HD. You can even subscribe to Disney+, the online streaming service, to watch the film.

Halle Berry responded to the controversy. In a Tweet, she said, “It’s a little late to apologize for the mistake we made in announcing this.” However, she also pointed out, “It’s the wrong Halle. I’m so glad I wasn’t a shill!”

There was more controversy over the announcement of Halle Bailey as Ariel. Some criticized her choice of red hair. Others compared her to Halle Berry. Many shared pictures of her in a similar dress.

But the real controversy was over her performance. The video went viral and landed on the front page of Reddit. This was a reaction to the racial backlash she received for her casting.

Bailey has always been supportive of her friend, Halle Berry. They have been friends since their days together in the Monster’s Ball movie. Now, they are teaming up for a multi-picture deal on Netflix.

In addition to her work on the Disney film, Bailey has worked on the musical duo Chloe x Halle. She has received five Grammy nominations.

Director Rob Marshall

The Little Mermaid is a musical fantasy film that is based on Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale. It was originally released as an animated film in 1989. Since then, the film has been a favorite of Disney fans. In 2023, a live action version will be released. This new version will feature live-action versions of classic characters.

Disney’s original film was based on Hans Christian Anderson’s tale of a mermaid princess who wants to find a land beyond the sea. To do this, she makes a pact with a sea witch to walk on land as a human. Ariel is the youngest daughter of ocean-ruler King Triton. She is able to make this pact because she has no fear of the human world.

The new live-action version is a remake of the original story. It will be directed by Rob Marshall. He has previously directed Mary Poppins Returns and Chicago. He will be working with composer Alan Menken, who was the original writer and composer of the original movie’s music.

The live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” will also feature songs from the original movie. In addition to the classic songs, the movie will have new songs written by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Fans are excited about this new live-action version of their favorite classic stories. However, there has been some backlash over the casting of a Black actress as Ariel.

While there have been many positive reviews, some fans are still unhappy about the choice. Halle Bailey is the actress chosen to play Ariel in the film. At the same time, she is the singer of the Grammy-nominated musical duo Chloe x Halle.

Disney has not yet announced a streaming date for the film. But it is likely that it will be available on Disney+.

The Disney studio showcase has started at the Anaheim Convention Center, and will be held through Sunday. Here, viewers can check out Disney’s upcoming projects, including live-action, animation, and Pixar.

Halle Bailey is set to star in the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Her casting was unexpected. However, she is praised for her intelligence, beauty, and other attributes that led to her being chosen.

FQAs…

Plans for a remake of 1989's The Little Mermaid were confirmed in May 2016. In December 2017, Disney announced Marshall had signed on to direct. Much of the main cast signed in June to November 2019. Filming took place primarily at Pinewood Studios in England from January to July 2021.

Now the 34-year-old – who was called the black mermaid at home long before the Disney live action remake of the Little Mermaid elated her by casting black actor Halle Bailey – has taken on the role of bringing more children into the water.
