i wish Lizzo got the ursula part

 

[humminbird]

no way this doesn't become one of the GOAT disney remakes i don't count Cruella since it's more of a origin story

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

breh her father in the movie is played by a white man….like what are we doing here?

You ain’t gonna fool me with some high notes

 

[NinoBrown]

Would be nice if they made the love interest brown or non-white instead of a trump supporter...

even Korey from DT mentioned that too,, they make all black women love interest white dudes

/ it's time stamped /

And im sure their moms will take them

Disney isn’t going to do a fully black main cast so people really need to get over it. I’m pretty sure half yall nikkas would be first in line to take your kids to Latina Pocahontas with a breh playin Jonh Smith.

And this isn’t teaching them to idolize white men anymore than the OG all white cartoons were, at least they don’t look in the mirror and wish they were a white woman

This doesn’t fly anymore.

It’s not 2010.

We just saw Black Panther which was an all black cast make $1B

 

[Jazzy B.]

There's a reason we showed up for Black Panther. All this talk about black excellence for this film, and the end result is going to be a bunch of swirlers cosplaying with their cac boyfriends.

These are the same women who will then cry about colorism

Yeah, I am glad she is getting shine but to push this swirling narrative isn't it...

I guess a Black Prince would be too much to ask...

Whenever they do make a movie about a black prince, you can samn sure bet his love interest will either be a black woman or another man.

That was a black comic. DISNEY IS NOT MAKING AN ALL BLACK LIVE ADAPTATION OF THEIR PRINCESS MOVES …GET OVER IT

 

[Danie84]

Little Mermaid is my GOAT Disney film, and the live-action trailer looks promising

 

[NobodyReally]

People dogging this movie for the white lead need to bring the same energy whenever we're talking about black men being paired with white actresses. I never heard any complaints about interracial love scenes with BM/WW on here. In fact, there's a weekly thread on the GOAT white actress. FOH with all of the fake outrage about swirling.

Doesn't matter. There weren't obliged to follow the comic. Just like how they weren't obliged to keep the mermaid as a cac female.

@ “get over it” If they made Black Panther and cast a cac queen/love interest you women would be the first complaining.

You really want to be obtuse. A comic with thousands of entries of the world of wakanda being black is not the same as one movie that established mermaids as white.

Secondly, one is wholly geared toward kids while the other is for all ages

Lastly, some of us aren’t going to be bent out of shape over on screen BS. I’ve watched will smith play opposite of non black women in “real world” movies and not given a fukk, y’all grumpy dudes, especially those of y’all without kids who had no intent or reason to go see this regardless, can feel free to wage war on interracial mermaid relationships
