The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid made some changes to the original movie, and while some were good, others made this version worse.
The Little Mermaid is now part of Disney’s live-action trend, and while this version has its strengths, there are a couple of ways in which it’s actually worse than the 1989 animated version. Disney has been riding the wave of live-action remakes for years, and though most of them haven’t been successful, the Mouse House continues giving new life to its animated classics.
6 The Little Mermaid’s Outside World Looks Dull While the underwater scenes of The Little Mermaid were too dark and many details got lost in the darkness, the outside world was, unfortunately, not better. The outside world of The Little Mermaid live-action remake is too dull, far from the colorful world presented in the animated version.
4 The Little Mermaid Had Some Unnecessary Songs Unlike other live-action remakes, like Mulan, The Little Mermaid is also a musical, but not all songs made it to this new version. Songs like “Daughters of Triton” and “Les Poissons” were left out of the live-action version of The Little Mermaid and it was for the better – removing “Daughters of Triton” made “Part of Your World” the first big song, and “Les Poissons” would have turned the movie into a horror one – but others were added instead.
3 The Little Mermaid’s Changes To Ursula’s Deal Ariel’s desire to explore the human world is the same in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, but Ursula’s deal went through some changes. In the animated version, Ursula transformed Ariel into a human in exchange for her voice, and in order to remain human forever, Ariel had to receive a “true love’s kiss” from Eric in the next three days.
