Halle Bailey as Ariel 🧜🏾‍♀️🐚 

As someone that grew up on the animated classics, I do prefer when the live action remakes stay true to the originals in many ways, however with TLM, I fully embrace Disney switching things up and casting a black girl to play Ariel. Yes, she had a distinctive look that we all remember, but Ariel’s race was never an integral part of the story. On top of that, she is a mythical creature, so she can be any race. Halle can sing amazingly and is beautiful! Sounds great to me & I am sure she will do a fab job. As long as the cast have amazing chemistry + the story and visuals are amazing, i’ll be happy. Please do share your opinions, but let’s be kind and respectful.

A warm chibird hug for you all! 💛 I’m exhausted but full of lots of love after AX. I’m so grateful for all the kind souls who visited me and told me about the impact my art and book have had on their lives. I really treasure those meetings, thank you all.
