Disney making live-action remake of 'The Little Mermaid'

[ChosenOne]

"Lin-Manuel Miranda" has to be the wokest, most pretentious name ever conceived.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, they really did change the lyrics of "Kiss the Girl."

"We asked [lyricist] Lin-Manuel [Miranda] to make some slight adjustments to the original lyrics for 'Kiss the Girl,'" said the filmmaker in official Disney press notes. "Because it’s important to remember that the culture and sensitivities have changed over the last 34 years, and it's vital that we are respectful to those changes."

No, not vital. It shouldn't even be a thing at all.

So men can't want to kiss the girl anymore even though Ariel wanted to be kissed on the boat?

When a man desires a woman, it is always, because, he is a mysogynystic monster who really only wants to rape her.
Apparently love and romance doesn't exist in minds of SJWs, which outs them even more inhuman than people they are opposing.

Here is some new footage of "Part of Your World"



And some of "Kiss the Girl":



Plus, they also did a behind-the-scenes look at the film.

Spoiler:

Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in the animated film, confirmed at the world premiere that she has a part in this film.

Can’t wait woohoo.

If it was just the race swap I'd let it slide (though them actively not auditioning white-ish seems a bit concerning. Best actress for the job, no? no?). But everything else slipping out about it... naw. I can't. I sort of want this to fail now.

The bitch can't even swim. Best person for the job, my ass.

Yeah this was pure racial agenda. Let it fail.

Well, Henry Cavill can’t fly but he did a good job playing Superman. And with CGI effects who needs to swim, or even a pool for that matter?

Still, yeah, Disney is obviously more worried about checking off all the boxes than making magic like how they used to. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Mickey has gone from a cheerful magical mouse to a miserable corporate rat. How the mighty have fallen

"Daughters of Triton" and "Les Poissons" have been cut from the film.

Also, here's a new promo with Melissa McCarthy singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls". Her voice is much stronger than I thought it would be.

"Tickets on sale now!"

Soooo.... how is this tracking?

Here's more of McCarthy's singing. She actually is good.

I'm really curious to see. If it's a big failure I wonder what that's going to mean.

[ZariusTwo]

Some details are coming out about the ending

Spoiler:

They changed it so that Ariel gets the win over Ursula instead of Eric

That pretty much every single movie goer is a racist bigot. Every. Last. One.

but of course.

I'm surprised Eric didn't turn out to be gay and Ariel went for his sister instead.

Speaking of the box office numbers and attendance, Mena Massoud, who played the title character in the live-action Aladdin, deactivated his Twitter account after he received backlash when responding to how much this movie would make at the box office compared to his film.

Reviews are coming in and they're predictably mixed

Whether he is right or wrong, Disney is an entertainment mafia under Kathleen Kennedy - moreso than it was in the past I'm sure. He probably shouldn't have said anything for his career, right or wrong.
