Idc how dark it is or if the cgi is wonky, I can't wait to see Halle and hear her voice through the theatre sound system. ❤️

I'm still etremely mad at Melissa McCarthy's casting
That level of disrespect should be illegal

But I'm also very excited for Halle

It would have been really cool if Lizzo could have done it.

After seeing that clip of Lizzo in The Mandolorian, I get it.
I LOVE Lizzo. She's a great musical talent. But an acting talent? 😬

People hardly ever fancast based on talent, it's all very ~omg they're so nice and look exactly like I pictured the character, they're perfect~ while wilfully ignoring the fact that characterization can take perfectly good care of that part. I'll take someone who looks 'wrong' for a part any day as long as they deliver with the acting. One example that always comes to mind is Josh Hutcherson as Peeta in the Hunger Games, boy really did wonders with that bland ass character.

Idk the deal with Melissa, she's a very talented actress so I'm curious to see how her Ursula will be.

Her voice is amazing. Her version of Part of Her World sounds great.

I’m genuinely excited for this! And I normally am not a fan of Disney live action remakes.

With this being an hour longer than the OG i am expecting Ursulas origin of being a squid or whatever along with seeing each of the sisters kingdoms

[trynabme]

The family didnt all live in with Triton?

[a_files06]

Not in this version.

Aren’t we getting Eric’s new backstory?
