I apologize for (almost) everything negative I said about
#TheLittleMermaid
because it absolutely clears. The best Disney live-action remake by far. Halle Bailey is a superstar and commands every frame. There’s still magic in it not in spite of the live-action but because of it.
The new additions are very hit or miss - Prince Eric’s solo is basically Jamie Dornan’s number in Barb and Star and there is *sigh* a rap. But the classic numbers, “Under the Sea”, “Kiss the Girl” and, of course, “Part of Your World” are terrific. Marshall eats a musical number.

was there anything negative that you have said about Halle? hmm…?
Criticize the movie but criticizing Halle prior to watching her is some deeply rooted problematic behavior.
