A recent The Little Mermaid TikTok video brings both the live-action and animated versions of Princess Ariel together to the perfect song.
The live-action and animated versions of Ariel come together in a The Little Mermaid TikTok video to the perfect song. Starring pop singer Halle Bailey as the titular princess, Disney's latest live-action remake is based on the 1989 animated classic of the same name. Melissa McCarthy takes the role of the evil sea witch Ursula with Javier Bardem as King Triton, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric.
Cosplayer Kaz Tarshis took to TikTok to share a perfect collaboration between the live-action Ariel and the original Disney animated version.

The pair sing the duet "I Am A Girl Like You" from the animated movie Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper to make a statement that the new Ariel is just as good as the original.
Halle Bailey Is Perfect As Ariel Immediately following her casting announcement as Ariel, Bailey faced backlash from some who deemed her casting as part of an agenda. With Bailey being black and Disney's earlier depiction of Ariel being white, there was pushback from those who did not want any change, resulting in attacks rooted in racism targeted at Bailey and the animation studio. However, Bailey has since proved herself as a wonderful choice to embody the role of such an iconic character.
Although The Little Mermaid remake was met with mixed reception from critics, they nearly all agree that Bailey excelled as Ariel, exuding the innocence and wonderment of the sheltered princess while providing the vocal talents to nail the film's memorable songs.
