Why watch this one when you could watch the original? This one is 2hr15 min. The original is 83min. Gci sea creatures singing under the sea fills my imagination with nightmares.
I'm not sure why they would remake this this way.
They aren't really live action they are cartoons just digitally animated.
I was born in the 80s I grew up watching all the old Disney movies and for a good chunk of my childhood they were making a new one ever year. My favorite was Aladdin.
I feel like this is the expanded version of the original. The only thing that was missing was the fling between Sebastian and the french chef who took pride in seafood culinary.

I'll definitely watch it when it's out of the theater I was a fan of the original back when I was a boy. I liked all of the movies and stories about mermaids and the like.
I immediately dismiss any criticism from anyone who isn't going to see the movie. They're only drawing conclusions based on the skin color of the main character. Apparently all mermaids are white and anything else is OUTRAGEOUS!!
It's true they're often drawing conclusions from the skin color of the main character. That's because when there's such an obvious and gratuitous "race-swap" of a main character -- irrespective of whether it affects the context of the story in any way -- you can be sure the rest of the film has been clumsily adapted for the "modern audience."

That seems to be a big problem with all Disney movies and TV shows lately. The problem is that they aren't making movies for the "modern audience" (whatever that is). They are making movies for a few hundred outspoken Twitter users. And the sad fact is: They just aren't very good at it. They are so obsessed with "The Message" that they are neglecting things like story, sense, and quality filmmaking.

Have you seen the movie? Because that assumption would be incorrect.
I can't help but judge people who pay to see these Disney remakes as the ultimate consumers.
It's a pretty cynical ploy by Disney. Baiting Gen X and Millennial adults with nostalgia so that they will take their kids to relive their childhood with them while indoctrinating them with Hollywood propaganda.
They did it successfully with Marvel. They tried to do it with Star Wars, but failed.
