Finally, "The Little Mermaid", who is now black... Is in theaters!

[Conservative from Georgia]

The Little Mermaid is now portrayed by an African-American actress and with the movie the best! Diversity is wonderful and people might even prefer an African American actress in this role.

The mantra "Go woke go broke" well be challenged here, because if this movie makes a lot of money then it is not always true that woke goes broke.

Well you go watch it or take your kids to watch it?

She has an amazing voice.

Sad that so many people will hate her just because of her skin color

'The Little Mermaid' Expected to Be Disney's Biggest Fail This Year

The seaweed is not always greener...

All the little black girls will go see it.

Nah.

They'll dislike it because The Little Mermaid didn't need to be retold, and certainly not for the benefit of wokeism. Remakes like this that turn cartoon movies into movies with real actors are always terrible as well. This movie is going to be a hot pile of trash.

This will be like when feminists blamed bad ratings for that Ghostbusters remake on sexism, when in reality the movie just sucked like hell.

Am I the only one that thinks clutching your pearls over the ethnicity of a Mermaid..Ye Olde mythical critter...is just a bit absurd?

Is this 'woke' or just smart marketing? Both?

I'd prefer an Asian mermaid...but Asians are punished for their success...these days~

 

[Unkotare]

They should have cast a real manatee.

Opening weekend will be big because black girls will want to see it. It's like Black Panther.

It's a Danish story.

The only thing people talk about is the fact that she's black. I've been cringing ever since this movie made the news.

Black Panther opened here in Twin Falls Idaho--I was at the first day 2nd showing---sold out---maybe three Black people in the crowd.

she’s a great singer, also looking forward to seeing McCarthy as the sea witch

Good point

It is the blow-back from the Right that is causing all the noise though.

Do you think the actress they chose just happened to be black, or was that probably intentional?

 

[braalian]

If they were to make a movie based off a classic African children’s story and cast it largely with white actors, would that be okay too? Cause it’s the exact same thing.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It is a glaring admission that there are no African stories worth telling.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

It's Disney...used to be wholesome but not anymore

Woke fcking joke

To be fair Pixar doesn't have a studio in n
Nigeria. Lol
