‘The Little Mermaid’ Cast on Pep Talks with Beyoncé, Halle’s Voice, and the Power of Representation 

Negative everyone was auditioning stop being a hater smh

@@mo6live what she said is literally what the director said. Halle set the bar so high that nobody topped it. That’s his words. End of story

​@@mo6liveu might need to go back a few months and years ago

Bingo!

@@mo6live how are you subscribed to her channel but you not giving team Halle smh ! That’s weird

Yeah but she’s her protégé. They’re always gonna ask her about beyonce. Part of that is because beyonce is very quiet and doesn’t say much. So any chances interviewers get they’ll ask

Hate when they do it to Chloe too.

it's not anything for YOU to be upset about. Beyoncé is her mentor and is apart of the Disney family as well hence why they mentioned her being Nala in TLK remake. It's not that serious.

@@cy2027 is still said what i said. Move along🙊✌🏽

@@cy2027 and who's upset, i love Beyoncé. But you can tell that even chloe and halle don't like to talk about her much because of the relationship they have with her.

Lmao how much is Disney paying you?

Dear lord.....what bs

@@Badonicus stay mad

Agree! And the haters can kick rocks 😂. Movie is coming out whether you like it or not!

@@chazj2425 sure it’s coming out and it’s gonna bomb 💣

Exactly yet toxic people decided to make it a debate about race and skin color rather than pure talent and doing the movie justice it's truly sad😢😢😢

The pushback was expected because Halle is talented but she looks nothing like Ariel they didn’t even give her the iconic red hair

@@fernandojr7854 because she’s black with locs. it shouldn’t look anything like the original ariel. and thats the point. she looks like me and a ton of other little black girls. and that was needed & that’s amazing.

She needs to stop working with her husband.

@@natsohigh5552 Well yeah … probably a hard pill to swallow that the person you love most is not super great for your career.

@@natsohigh5552 what he do?

Facts

Yes she was so great on SNL!!! I love her!!!

Agreed, along with doing her research.

🎯🎯🎯

Ariel is white wtf is this BS

She is not!!

@@javiruiz8365 hater😭🧘🏽‍♂️✨

​@@theweirdness321bro, this clown is always spewing negative hate on positive black women. This clown goes on Sherri Shepherd's RU-vid page every day just to be negative. In the words of Tamar Braxton "GET YOUR LIFE". Seriously, get a life Javi! No seriously...I believe he wants to be a black woman! 🙄

@@javiruiz8365 We not doing that under MY comment boo. Take that somewhere else

Ariel is white wtf is this BS

First and last role

@@javiruiz8365 in your dreams sure

@@janiyaharielle8964 nah that girl is bland!!! No seasoning!!! Just like her bland sister

@@moonboyofficial wait what!!! The color purple is coming back? Another movie of slavery again like come on that’s ridiculous!!! It’s time to change. I did love the color purple on Broadway 🎭 I cried like a bish!!! One of the best shows that I have seen on Broadway

Ariel is white wtf is this BS

I thoroughly enjoyed her interviewing style ❤

Big time! She set up the vibe as just some friends talking and having a good time. I like that she drew someone them out by asking questions directed to them individually and she does her research. She made it fun.

I agree😊

I mean they already invested millions of dollars lol. Why would they "back down"?

​@@georgehernandez2156 hater

@@MotlatsiBee why is he a hater? He did not say anything negative!!! You need to tell all those bLK millionaires to start making there own movies and stop depending on the white man for representation. I think it’s time for black creators to innovate us with talent instead of crap like madea

Exactly. She’s the first live action musical Disney princess who fits the part and who actually acts and sings like one.

She deserves an Oscar for her singing n performance. It seemed so effortless n real

I agree 100% also, it's spelled Daveed. Means beloved in Hebrew

He did so awesome

"history was made" yep, That's when you know you're dealing with trash. When the heck did anybody ever go to the movies and spend their money because "history was made?" That's complete cultural Marxist garbage nobody wants. You know Africa still exists.

​@mikerivers7559 you need to get help. There is nothing wrong with reliving your childhood memories in today's world. That's what most people are doing. And they are taking their children to see what is being culturally acceptable. People of color were not represented in Disney before the late 1900s. Let alone mainstream media unless they kissed the behinds of these Hollywood executives!! History is being made. All of these people are making history for their roles. Get over it. You fit in well with the anti-happiness crowd.

Me too I’m going for my birthday well a day before my birthday I’m going on the night it comes out on the 26th I’m so excited

Get a life Disney bot. Nobody believes you're real.

yeeessss. this comment is EVERYTHING!

Facts. I think sooo many of us feel the same way. I’m excited to buy tickets.

❤

Why can't anyone in the entire CONTINENT of Africa make a movie like this with a "Black Girl"?? Which, by the way, they're not d-umb enough to capitalize a skin color!!! And since when can a "Black Girl" grow long red hair??!! Brainwashed weirdo.

@@mikerivers7559 you’re tying to hard. Relax. You seem to grown to be acting like a child

Right those comment sections on other videos are toxic

Exactly...i find it so annoying

Add Kelly and Michelle! It be so weird how they always asking about her like dang can you focus on my interview!

@@cobycotton2510 girl what does stress me is the HOOPS people jump through to make beyonce relevant in a conversation with people who know her. It comes off so disrespectful to the artists. Like can you respect this artist and her craft and what she's doing right now and not who she knows????? come on! be professional

@@amandawilliams2997 an unprofessional!

Me too!

I mean the lion king is Disney highest grossing animated movie outside of the avatar series

@@TP19 she’s talking about the live action

@@gigireve943 same

Correct, because Bey was a hard No fuh me on the live action. I didn’t even watch it because of that. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Beyoncé dgaf about either roles. Really. She’s not thinking about it.

Bless your heart

Thank you!

I came here to comment about Jacqueline Coley's excellent interviewing skills! Thought provoking questions, and you can tell she really knows/enjoys the cast's talents!

did the disney check clear

@@thundrcat5596 You're under every comment spreading your loser behavior. You care so much about a movie you claim will bomb. It seems more like you have opening night tickets based on your clear obsession with Halle and this movie. Enjoy it!

@@thundrcat5596 Your under most comments spreading your negativity. Are you not embarrassed to be so bothered by a movie you claim you won't see? Seems like someone's obsessed with Halle and her movie

@@thundrcat5596 i sincerely hope YOU got a check to be under all the comments about this movie for the sole purpose of hating. because otherwise that would just be really pathetic lmao

@@thundrcat5596 clown and loser energy fr🤡🤡

Race swapping iconic characters is NOT OKAY. Imagine they turned Elsa from Frozen Asian or black. Or Tinkerbell black. Or princess Aurora black. Or Cinderella black or Asian. It is all possible, race does not matter with those princesses. But you sure as hell change their iconic looks. Remember, princess Ariel was created by a Danish author. He wants her to be white. She had beautiful elegant red hair, green tail. Plus Halle doesn’t look pretty for a princess. The only good thing about her is her voice, but even her voice doesn’t sound good in ‘part of your world’ (Disney released the full version). Her voice sounds too harsh for a Disney princess

​@@truehappiness4U I'm also against race swapping, but historically speaking, Hans Christian Andersen did not specify that the Little Mermaid had to be a redhead or had green tail or be a white woman. That red hair we know was a creative liberty done by Disney based on Alyssa Milano's look, so they can do whatever the heck they want with the "Ariel" character. Yes, the writer was a Danish man, but technically speaking the Little Mermaid is not supposed to be Danish because she does not live on a land that's considered a territory of Denmark. She lives under the sea, and just because she lives under sea does not necessarily mean she has to be white. Andersen did not even specify which area of the world Ariel's kingdom is. It's actually more meaningful to depict her as having a different skin tone because she's meant to be different to the people in Prince Eric's kingdom which have European features. Ariel is not the same as Elsa and Anna who are specified as Nordic and Northuldran (Sami), nor Moana who was Polynesian, nor Merida who was Scottish, nor Belle who was French, nor Mulan who's Han Chinese, nor Tiana who's African American. Ariel was a sea-creature who's supposed to look different to the people on land, and I believe having dark skin in a white-majority Kingdom is a good visual representation of what it is to be "different".

@@truehappiness4U all I hear is boohoo wah wah

Tinkerbell is already black in the latest Peter Pan movie lol 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@truehappiness4U in the animated movie, there’s a Jamaican crab. Is that accent native to Denmark ? 🤔

P.S. I'm a Melissa McCarthy fan, which is the main reason I wanted to see this film. (Also saw Jonah Hauer-King's noteworthy performance in "Song of Names", and was interested in seeing him as Prince Eric.) I ended up euphoric to find that the entire cast in the film are absolutely, 100% THE characters. ❤

Much thx.

Love that bit, aaah aaaaaah

Thank you!

Yes
