Today, Friday, May 26, 2023, the new live-action film "The Little Mermaid" is being released. Disney is bringing back the animated classic to the big screen, despite receiving numerous criticisms regarding the cast, live-action adaptations, and decisions made by the company in recent years.

The Mickey Mouse company is about to face a significant change, as its famous character will enter the public domain starting in 2024. Although it has experienced a respite thanks to the success of the new "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie, this new release has generated a great controversy since the cast was announced and, especially, after the presentation of the first trailers.

The actress chosen to portray Ariel is Halle Bailey, who will be the first black mermaid, deviating from the image of the red-haired Ariel from the animated film. This decision has been criticized by part of the audience. Many predict that the movie will have poor box office results, which is worrisome for Disney, as they needed to stand out after their recent animated films did not achieve the expected success.

"The Little Mermaid" memes and movie reviews

Fortunately for Disney, before its release and pending a broader audience response, the initial reviews have not been as bad as expected. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has received a rating of 71 out of 100 from critics, although this rating has become somewhat unreliable in recent years.

For example, Super Mario Bros Movie started with a low rating from critics, only to be elevated to the paradise of masterpieces by the audience. On the contrary, "She Hulk" received high ratings from critics but then received very negative reviews. For many, this is an indicator to trust the audience rating more than the critics.
