Review of The Little Mermaid (1989) by Wesseldj — 06 Aug 2023

I didn't expected much going into this. But I was pleasantly surprised with the live action version. The actors are all well casted. And if you compare it to the animated version they actually have stayed very much true to the source material adding a little sprinkle of a modern sauce to it, that made it a fresh watch.

While most people probably pondering about why Disney had to make this an inclusive woke version, however people tend to forget that this was a fairy tale from danish author Hans Christian Anderson and he never mentioned of what nationality or ethnicity his characters were.

And that's what this is. It's fiction in an imaginary world and therefore anyone can depict the characters. This Live action movie of the beloved animated Little Mermaid did the original source justice and the writing and entire cast kept the vibe and magic of the original material alive and actually gave it an extra little more.
