Disney’s The Little Mermaid Remake Receives Mixed Reviews from Critics

The live-action film garners both praise and criticism, deviating from the usual positive first impressions.

Disney’s live-action adaptation of the classic animated film The Little Mermaid premiered recently, with high expectations surrounding the release.

The studio’s recent live-action remakes have not been particularly successful, and the new version of the beloved Ariel was anticipated to break this unfavorable trend.

However, the film has received mixed reviews, with some critics expressing disappointment with the production quality.

Praise for Halle Bailey’s Performance

Critics seem to agree on one aspect: Halle Bailey’s portrayal of Ariel is exceptional. Her performance is filled with the right blend of energy, sensitivity, and naivety, making it easy for audiences to engage with her character’s journey.

Some even argue that this is the best live-action remake Disney has produced, successfully capturing the essence of the original animated film.

Critics Question the Purpose of Faithful Adaptations

On the other hand, many critics question the necessity of producing live-action films that are essentially faithful adaptations of classic animations.

They argue that The Little Mermaid seems like a calculated, corporate product lacking heart and originality. A selection of critical reviews highlights these concerns.

A Divisive Live-Action Remake

The Little Mermaid

The mixed reactions to Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid reflect the divisive nature of such films. While Halle Bailey’s portrayal of Ariel earns praise, the overall production has drawn criticism for its lack of innovation and originality.

As audiences and critics continue to weigh in, it remains to be seen how the film will fare in comparison to other Disney live-action adaptations.

#TheLittleMermaid is a live-action remake that retains the heart and soul of the story we know and love, and it’s elevated even further by a note-perfect star-making performance from Halle Bailey – she was born to be on the big screen, & she’s why this new take is worth watching. pic.twitter.com/Tcewp2L4MY

#TheLittleMermaid is a tribute to all little girls to dream big. Halle Bailey is sheer magic and Daveed Diggs a delight as Sebastian. pic.twitter.com/kLD2y62dIF

#TheLittleMermaid: Charming, but incredibly spotty. Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy & Javier Bardem put their heart & souls into a film that can’t escape its animated legacy. Best when it leans into campy bonkers, yet limits its fantasy elements for no reason. pic.twitter.com/c7Bt2BO5rq
