The Little Mermaid (2023) Movie Reaction! 

23:51 I met her once in galaxycon.

And people think she was not going to appear love it when they are wrong.

I don't care how good people pretend that Hallie did or even why there would even be dark skinned mermaids. This like ALL of Disney remakes has no reason to exist. Extremists can only destroy not create. Can't come up with their own unique ideas. Just an empty cash grab.

@@dwarf365 why wouldn't there be dark skinned mermaids? its a fantasy character..

@@dwarf365 its a fantasy story, get the fuck over it lmfao.

@@FatLittleButterfly Deep under water there is zero sun light. Why would there be melanin?

@FatLittleButterfly No one is upset over a dark skinned mermaid. Mermaids can be dark skinned. But Ariel, an established character for over 30 years, IS NOT dark skinned. That’s the issue, and that’s why the movie is bombing badly. This movie has been out for just about 2 months, right? $548 million is not even close to the break even point for this movie. Most of the money this movie is collecting is from the domestic box office, so if you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the international audience, because they are proving what we’ve been saying ever since they announced this casting choice; that they should have casted someone that at least looked the part.

Halle is not Ariel. She looks and sounds nothing like her.

halle is ariel. boomers hate the truth lol. cope and seethe. 😂😂😂

@@Craftjunkie-dg8gtshe is tho 😚

@@vetarlittorf1807bro who cares

@adriellejazelsengco2424 Apparently a lot of people care since this movie has basically stopped making money now and overseas audiences don’t like it.

I loved her too.🎉

It was an unexpected choice but I loved her in the movie! She was so funny to me 😂

I never doubted her since the beginning. Never in my mind think about the red hair n the skin color😭 plus TLM being my favourite movie since forever... it was shocking how people hate her for that..

She really did a good job. I'm so proud of her

@@ML-ni1tk Me too.

Babes you dont have to feel guilty its just a movie😂. I didnt like the casting choice either but I will admit it was because of racist reasons. After hearing her voice tho I realized she was a good match. I dont feel guilty for my original opinion tho, it was true and valid.

@@disneytoysr4fun975 I appreciate that. Maybe I wouldn't feel so bad if I hadn't voiced my doubts to Jodi Benson (who's supported Halle from the beginning) when I met her at NYCC. She had this look on her face like I was a terrible person for thinking it, and I felt like a terrible person for saying it.

Yeeees ❤❤

Literally everything you said was objectively wrong.

@@vetarlittorf1807same can be said for anything you say

@@vetarlittorf1807stop crying.

@@Waveeee1004 No, it can't. Because the overwhelming majority hated this movie.

@@Myeverythinggg Oh, did I hurt your feewings, you wuss?

Ok, you watched it in theaters, but this movie is still a flop. It’s struggling to break even. Like, really struggling. Overseas audiences (specifically China and Korea) hate it.

@@dgurlie-0273 people been copy and pasting this all over but it still broke even and is considered profitable

@@dgurlie-0273 Its made over 460mil with all that unfounded hate. Congrats, you were part of that. Be proud of that

@@dgurlie-0273well duh they’re just racist over there

​@FatLittleButterfly Right now, it's currently at $564 million.

She didn’t deserve that hatred.

I think it’s better then the original

@@Hagridslefttoee all the songs, Halle sings it better than the original

@@Hagridslefttoee Then you have no taste.

@@notio5242 No she doesn't. Jodi sang with passion and brought the role to life. Halle's singing was good for a stage performance, but terrible for a role. Especially when her voice cracked.

@@vetarlittorf1807 you’re mad over a mermaid movie lmao, I’ve already won.

Same here

Except Halle wasn't great in this. Her performance was very wooden.

?

I don't care how good people pretend that Hallie did or even why there would even be dark skinned mermaids. This like ALL of Disney remakes has no reason to exist. Extremists can only destroy not create. Can't come up with their own unique ideas. Just an empty cash grab.

​@@vetarlittorf1807Your opinion is valid but it's not a fact. I'm not changing your mind and you're not changing my mind✌️

@@dwarf365 I mean for one thing Halle Bailey is not dark skinned but that really shouldn't have any influence on your comments about the movie, yet it clearly does. The same reason there would be "dark skinned mermaids" is the same reason there could be White, Asian, Hispanic, Native American or any other race of mermaid we all live near water, a certain race doesn't own the rights to mermaids and oh mermaids aren't actually real.... they're fake creatures don't know if you knew that. Not liking Disney reboots is one thing but miss me with all that other b.s

She's also a fish, that's probably why.

@@ML-ni1tk makes sense as well, yep

You must be joking.

@@vetarlittorf1807I enjoy it more than the original as well

@@Waveeee1004 Then you have no taste.

@@vetarlittorf1807they have good taste.

@@vetarlittorf1807you when you find out opinions exist and people have diff tastes: 😦

Same! I feel like both songs due a great job of conveying his desire well.

Its because of their shades of skin, unfortunately. Just light enough for them to feign ignorance and accept those actresses without needing to look at their racial background 👀

Ariel watched Eric use a wheel to steer the ship during the storm. Also Ariel is the protagonist and the situation with Ursula in power is partially a result of her own misguided choice: it makes sense that she should take responsibility for her actions and clean up the mess she made. This in turn makes Triton take her and her wants for her life more seriously, and realize he can trust her to live the life that she wants. Eric proved his worth just by him going out of his way to the middle of the ocean to help Ariel despite being a human with zero magic.

Triton didnt see Ursula get killed either way so i dunno what you mean

I found the choice for Ariel to kill Ursula better. One, there's no way Eric could have even gotten on to the boat in those waters and two, the fight was really between Ariel and Ursula.

They based this ending on the alternative ending of the OG movie. It's way better in my opinion because Ariel finishes what she started.

It's just became available to rent or buy on digital.

@@officialmilkman491 doesn't explain how all her sisters are different races too

@@officialmilkman491 think before you type please did you even watch the movie

How do mermaids reproduce?

@@robhax Considering they are fictonal creatures according to fictional books they reproduce the same as most dolphines and seahorses by mating joining their urogenital slits

Apparently when conceived in different oceans, the babies become the race from that specific ocean

no one gaf

yet you’re watching a reaction to it .

@@unique-q9o I'm watching one of my favorite reactors, I watch all of his stuff. I gave my opinion, I don't expect everyone to share it.

you just described the animated version lol.

@@Craftjunkie-dg8gtit was so boring

Not really it passed its budget even with doing well overseas. And even if it was “struggling” that would be because racists decided not to watch the movie.

Only $548 million in the two (almost three) month span this movie has been out is definitely a big struggle. China and Korea are barely seeing it, and they are a big contender in the movie industry. If you’re still going with the racist angle, then how come LA Aladdin did so well? What about Fast X and Spiderverse? Those heavily feature black and brown people, but those countries love those movies. Why is that? It’s the sudden race swap of an established character is what’s getting on people’s nerves, so of course people are going to be turned off to it when they already don’t recognize the character. It’s what some Korean audiences have said why they are skipping this movie; because Halle doesn’t look the part. No one is saying a mermaid can’t be black. Of course mermaids can be black. Ariel is not black, though.

⁠​⁠@@dgurlie-0273it’s not struggling. It broke even despite most of China not supporting. $560 million in 2 months is not that bad. Spider verse has only 120million more than little mermaid with the backing of China. I was expecting that movie to do better. Halle did well.

@@dgurlie-0273 Ariel is black at the end of the day. I’m not finna argue with you on why korea and china don’t want to see it, they’re racist and so are you 😉

​@@dgurlie-0273 she is now lol. cry harder 😂

You know how you can say something to yourself in your head without vocalizing it. It’s the same thing 😂 Try it. Sing something in your head without singing out loud. It works! I think the song worked personally. It let us know how she was feeling about the world she was experiencing for the first time.

Bros never had a song stuck in his head

​@@tm23513ghs😂😂😂

He gave it an 8/10. 😝

lol, no

Insulting ? How ??

​@@H4ps1​@xhpzss it tore the original movie apart, and made it unappealing to look at, and boring. It did this to go for "realism" but then did things that in the age that this would take place is 100% unrealistic, and you know, be about mermaids, have talking fish, and animals? Which is fine, but its clear that they didn't care about making it realistic, and used that to justify the ugly scenery. There are very few times the scene looks nice and even then it lacks alot of that magic because they tuned it down a lot. Not to mention it took away all of Eric's agency, by making Ariel, a girl who has knows nothing about ships , perfectly steer it to kill Ursula, taking away his biggest moment, in favor of Ariel, which in turn lessened tritons moment of realizing humans might be ok, because he never sees anything that shows that humans have good qualities, and makes him supporting the relationship come from nowhere, which is a big issue that's present throughout the movie. Adding songs that were unnecessary, and ruined the tone, the main actress was very stiff, and they took away her curiosity, and a lot of her joy, it's clear in the original when Ariel is excited or interested in something, and yes animations get a bonus due to being over expressive, but there are other ways you can translate this irl. Bouncing in your seat, hyper focusing on something. Averting your eyes when over excited, and being shy. I don't think this was necessary the actresses fault, and probably just bad directing, but it still takes a lot from the movie. There was alot of overall issues with this movie, mostly it being unnecessary and not adding anything to it. Most retellings should add something of substance to the original film, or try to perfectly mimic it while adding a little extra magic to some scenes but it doesn't. It just doesn't do anything. If you watched this on its own years after seeing the original I can get how you would think it's a decent movie, however watching the original right after of before just shows how disappointing it is. I feel like it would have been better if they went for like, a realistic retelling, which you can be super creative with, or just stuck to the original script, where you would still have the issue of the lion king movie, but at least it would be less of a mess narratively. Of course all of this can be seen as opinions. Which is fine, but why are you guys jumping down someone's throat for opinions to begin with?

@@noel2641 lol for me the movie is fine..Halle is great as Ariel..the songs is fine ,and by all of your long reasons i don't think insulting is here with this movie..

Why are you here watching a reaction of the movie you hated it? Kick rocks!!

"Real" life tends to be different than "Cartoon" life, wouldn't you agree?

@@michaelvincent4280 This means nothing. If your real life version is just worse than the cartoon one in every conceivable way maybe you should just not make it.

Glad to see that this bothers you

It’s fantasy, mermaids aren’t real. You’re just racist. You don’t like the movie obviously but you’re spreading hate and watching a reaction of it

Lmfao

Did you not get enough attention with this comment the first time that you have to copy and paste it under multiple comments?

@@KK_183 Nope, just under the idiots that pretended that Hallie did some kind of spectacular job or trying to explain why an established for 30 years, fictional creature should be black. It is called trolling for idiots and you fell right in.
