There is no better way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than by sipping a delightful cup of tea. I was planning on going with my friends to see The Little Mermaid but I got a little too comfortable relaxing. And I don't want to get up from where I'm lounging and go the movies. But I do really want to see The Little Mermaid, so I'll go and see it sometime later this week.
I know I've mentioned a few times that I'm not the biggest fan of Disney constantly making live-action versions of the company's animated movies. The company's latest live-action movie is Pinocchio and it was just released on Disney+ on Thursday (Sept. 8th). My issue with live-action adaptaion is mainly because I feel like it's a lack of imagination and creativity and plus I don't think animation is appreciated enough. However with that said, I have watched nearly all of the live-action movies because I love the stories.
Which brings me to Disney's upcoming movie The Little Mermaid. I think this teaser trailer looks absolutely beautiful, it makes you want to explore the sea that Ariel truly wants to leave for our world and Prince Eric. I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie and seeing if there are any changes to the story because there usually is with the live-action versions. The Little Mermaid is scheduled to be released in theatres on May 26, 2023.
In The Little Mermaid, Ariel has a huge collection of human "treasure" which is mostly junk such as forks, glasses, statues and other random stuff that's either fallen off ships or found on sunken ships. I'm happy to say that among her treasure are books which Ariel and Flounder had fun looking at. I'm not sure if either could read human languages but you could tell they enjoyed looking at the book nonetheless.
Ariel is another one of my favorite characters. I love watching The Little Mermaid animated series, Ariel's is full of curiosity and has a desire to learn about the world hers and ours. But most of all she loves a good adventure and is forever getting herself, Flounder and Sebastian into trouble.
