Behind-the-scenes footage of Halle Bailey shooting 'Under the Sea' in the live-action The Little Mermaid reveals a hilarious look at pre-CGI Ariel.
The Little Mermaid's "Under the Sea" sequence looks entirely different before the CGI is added. The new film, which premiered in theaters on May 26, stars Halle Bailey as the young mermaid Ariel who trades her voice to a sea witch in exchange for a pair of legs with which to explore the human world.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Today on Twitter, Michael Cook shared a snippet of the behind-the-scenes filming of the "Under the Sea" sequence from The Little Mermaid 2023. The snippet shows Bailey sitting atop a person entirely covered in a greenscreen suit who crawls across the floor to simulate her being carried through the ocean.
The Little Mermaid remake is about half-and-half. This behind-the-scenes glimpse reveals just how much of Ariel's underwater environment is fabricated by computers. Considering the fact that her surroundings, animal companions, and at least half of her own body are replaced with computer renderings, it's safe to assume that the bulk of the underwater sequences are almost entirely computer-generated.
However, once Ariel gets on land and explores the human world as well as her relationship with Prince Eric , that's when the shots largely become live-action. Computers were still likely used heavily in the rendering of background production design, but at the very least the humans and costumes onscreen are real and tactile.
