With trepidation, I ventured out with my two daughters to watch Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and was surprised.
Ariel is a little more grounded emotionally, I thought she knocked it out of the park with her performance. She brings Ariel a sense of innocence and wonder and nails the various ballads sprinkled throughout the film.
Ursula wants to rule the seas, finds a way to barter with Triton, and executes her diabolical plan with near perfection. If I were choosing which take was better, this would be a wash. Sure, McCarthy mostly channels Carroll’s performance, but she does a great job in the part and somehow makes Ursula even more threatening.Kudos to everyone involved for trying to flesh out Prince Eric into more than just a blue-eyed sailor, but he’s not captivating enough to hold our attention.
Moreover, for all its devotion to the cartoon, why cut the Chef Louis sequence, arguably the funniest bit in the 1989 film? I did appreciate Grimsby’s role in the live-action story — he’s devoted to Eric’s happiness and serves as his voice of reason — compared to the cartoon, where he’s just a stiff servant with nothing to do but offer snarky commentary.does a pretty good job with some of the more significant set pieces.
