The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has sent fans into a frenzy of anticipation. Rob Marshall's adaptation of the 1989 classic has broken records on Disney+ since its debut on September 6th. The Hollywood Reporter has reported that the re-imagining has been viewed over 16 million times worldwide.
Disney recently announced that the movie has become the most viewed Disney movie premiere on the streaming platform. This achievement topples the previous record set by Hocus Pocus 2, released on Disney+ last October.
The movie has been a hit with viewers of all ages, with many watching from home theaters or their favorite mobile devices. The star-studded cast includes Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Javier Bardem as King Triton, Awkwafina as Scuttle, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, and Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina.
Movie critic Lovia Gyarkye gave the movie a 3 out of 5 star review, noting that the movie was "neatly packaged" with "representational awareness", but also that it "doesn't inspire much more than a passing sense of déjà vu".
The Little Mermaid premiered in theaters nationwide on May 26th, 2023. #WinWithBlackWomen and other Black women leaders launched an initiative in support of the film, resulting in sold-out theaters. The trailer was also a resounding success, racking up over 108 million views within 24 hours of its release in March.
The Little Mermaid will be released on Blu-ray/DVD on September 19th, for $24.99. There's no doubt that it will be a hit, just like it was on Disney+. Fans will be able to relive the movie at home, and share it with friends and family.
