      > Speaking to The Independent on the press tour for her latest film, the romantic comedy “You, Me & Tuscany,” Bailey said “The Little Mermaid” was “a beautiful experience for me – and I feel like it taught me to listen to myself and the good voices inside. I learned how to block out the noise.”

      > “How do I explain it…” she continued. “It was actually freeing to be in the middle of this conversation where so many different opinions were coming in, and they were so opposite from one another… I felt like I was watching myself inside a cup, seeing how people react to it… Growing up in the industry can really develop your sense of self, and for me, it keeps me grounded in a way. I know for some people it’s the opposite but I just always think to myself, ‘None of this is real.’”

      I really did not like this remake, but Halle Bailey was by far the best thing about it.

      Brandy getting her Hoolywood star recently made me think of her as a black Cinderella back in 1997 and how novel the color-blind casting was. I know there was some backlash at the time, but things still feel so different now. I definitely assumed we would be in a much different place ~30 years later. What a fun movie that was!

      It doesn’t take long to see why she was cast. Her version of Part of That World was phenomenal.

      It was so bizarre seeing people’s fancasts of people with limited to no vocal ability that were almost 40 years old at the time.

      That movie wasn’t good but it was watchable because of her. She was great.

      Not a good movie at all, but she wasn’t the problem with that movie. She has a great voice, and was solid enough in the role.

      The race swapping itself was what was racist especially since it’s treating the person’s skin color as if it’s a marketing gimmick.

      The best scene of the live-action movie is where she physically fights a disguised Ursula over a necklace. I was cheering for Ariel because I was so proud of her. The cartoon version didn’t have her do that and they should have.

      This was the only Disney live action remake other than Beauty and the Beast I’ve actually liked.

      Also I thought it made sense for Ariel to be black, as a kid I assumed Little Mermaid was set on some Caribbean island because of Sebastian lol

      I consider DDG to be the most insidious kind of „noise“ that this woman doesn’t deserve.

      We learned how to block out terribly made movies like this one and Snow White..

      Surprisingly there is no racist backlash against a guy from Boston playing a fictional Greek character.

      I didn’t like the remake because it’s a totally unnecessary cash grab but Halle Bailey is a great singer and did a nice job in the role.

      I wish Disney would just stop doing live action versions of their animated classics because 99% of them suck.

      But they have no problem with whitewashing historical characters who are people of color.

      Thanks to those anti woke grifters those grifters can STFU for harassing Haile Bailey

      She was an excellent Ariel. Anyones “race” did not have any affect on that movie. The changes they made to the music and script are what ruined the movie. They ruined Howard Ashman’s legacy.

      I didn’t see the movie and I’m sure she was great. I will say as a redhead that got bullied growing up, I would’ve loved to see a natural ginger in the role. There aren’t a lot of redheaded lead characters!

      Idk why some comments are acting like there was no racist stuff agaisnt her. I saw a lot of « memes » photoshopping her face onto toilet turds, parodying her on a beach with fried chicken and saying Ariel wouldn’t have a dad

    26. JayPlenty24 on

      Idk why anyone would care what the race is of an actress playing a mythical creature.

      I do think they could have gone with red or fuschia hair though. Ariel’s hair was iconic and a mermaid character is such a good opportunity to do something a little wild.

      The only backlash should be why Disney makes horrible live action movies.

      She ate this role up. The movie was mid but she did her best to carry it. I’m looking forward to You, Me and Tuscany
