Ariel will be back once again on the big screen and as expected fans have been beyond excited about the upcoming film The Little Mermaid. The movie is set to release on the 26th of May this year.
And it will explore the story of a young mermaid Ariel and her adventures in the surface land where she will also find her love, Prince Eric. Apart from that the story also includes Ariel’s fight against the evil sea witch Ursula. It is directed by Rob Marshall and stars Halle Bailey as Ariel.
With the teaser of the movie, there has been a lot of discussion on changing Ariel’s race (now played by a POC or a person of color actor Bailey). However, it became clear that most do not care and are happy to have the character in a live-action form.
