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

Disney’s new animated movie “Wish” is an original with a dark skinned heroine. So…it can be done.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It can when the original Disney Ariel was a white redhead.

Yes, the original Disney Ariel was a white redhead.

And since it is a made up creature they have reimagined it which is what people do with made up creatures

Not that you would ever leave the country, but you should probably never go to Disney Tokyo. Last time we were there they had a Cinderella that was Asian and had black hair.

So, what you are saying is that once a made up creature is put into film it can never be changed again?

And why exactly do you think political pandering is more profitable than giving the fans of Little Mermaid what they want?

If they wanted a profitable black princess remake they could have gone with The Princess and The Frog.

This will blow your tiny little mind, but not all fans of the Little Mermaid are racist POSs such as yourself.

It has almost passed it production cost in one weekend, they will make plenty of profit off of it

Considering you woksters had a fit and made them dump the actress Disney hired for Lilo and Stitch because she was too fair skinned I would say…yes.

No it hasn’t. It is under performing.

Disney relies on the over seas market. And it is tanking there.

That is not an answer, you are evading the question.

Let me make it clear, it is alright to race swap people in a historical movie?

I was quite clear with my answer.

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?

LOL

Because DeSantis is at war with Disney, and especially, since Disney had the audacity to cast the role of Ariel to a black woman, it's uber-important to racists on the right that this movie flops. They're pissed now because it's off to a pretty good start.

Riiiiighhttt. Because how can people not immediately fall in love with an unnecessary remake just to up their ESG score

Coming this summer: The Godfather Reduex

Starring Chris Rock as Michael Corleone
Dylan Mulvaney as Kay Adams Corleone
Rosie O’Donnell as Vito Corleone
Whoopi Goldberg as Luca Brazi

It’s an offer you can’t refuse, unless you’re a hater

 

[XponentialChaos]

When you’re this upset about a black actress playing a FICTIONAL creature, you should probably re-evaluate how pathetic you are.

Which is exactly the problem. Because that is all they are churning out anymore, senseless and unneeded remakes.

And I really don't know of anybody "obsessing" that she is black, other than from a story aspect it simply makes no sense. In fact, most of the story simply makes no sense as their casting was all over the board. And yet another remake, like Pinocchio, Lady & The Tramp, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Mulan, and the dozen others in the pipeline for the next few years.

And remakes as a rule tend to have a rather interesting history. Just look at Kite, or Rollerball, Flatliners, Charlie's Angels, Taxi, Point Break, Nightmare on Elm Street, Get Carter, The Mummy, Red Dawn, Godzilla 1998, The Wicker Man, Hellboy 2019, The Pink Panther, The Day the Earth Stood Still,, Chips, I can go on and on and on.

Remakes in general have really only done alright when they were relatively low budget affairs. Then when the theatrical run was finished they could sump them to VHS or DVD in the hopes of actually making a profit. However, physical media is now dead, and they are shoveled to streaming services. And when Disney owns the streaming service, that means they are getting no more money.

Remakes in general rarely perform all that well. The early Disney live action did good, because it was a new idea. But now almost a decade into that trend, they are old and boring.

And this can be seen in that they are already starting to hedge their bets. Lilo & Stich was supposed to be released for theaters. But in the wake of the losses in the remakes it is now going straight to D+. Just as Lady & the Tramp, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan. At least some are starting to realize that the remakes are likely not going to make money like they had hoped when they announced them, and I bet half will be cancelled before production starts. And most of the rest will be shoveled to D+.

Now it only remains to be seen if they will actually try to create original content again, or simply dump out more of the same trash.

To be honest, I could not care less what color the mermaid was, or any of the cast. It is just another sign that they have lost all sight of what it is the audience really wants. And it is not message movies that is to be foisted off on either the Right or Left wings. It is supposed to be entertainment that is to entertain the majority of the audience.

Oh, and in case some missed it, a few years ago Disney decided to film a stage production of Hamilton for theatrical release. But that was cancelled for some reason, and it went straight to D+. With little promotion or marketing needed, as it was essentially filler content that only cost them $12 million. At least they did not go the route of Universal, and dump around $250 into the production and marketing of "Cats", only to see it tank with around $75 million in the box office.

Your fellow DemoKKKrats at the New York Times didn't like the movie because it doesn't have enough "kink" in it.

You people are disgusting.

Box Office: ‘The Little Mermaid’ Swimming to No. 1 With $38 Million Opening Day

I guess it wasn't a failure after all cucks!

It's 2 1/2 hours and very dark. I think Disney will take it back to post production.
