This new adaptation of The Little Mermaid is directed by Rob Marshall and stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Eric, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

After rescuing Prince Eric from a shipwreck and falling in love with him, Ariel meets Ursula, the witch of the sea, with whom she makes a dangerous deal so she can become a human. Based on the fairy tale of the same name by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid tells the story of Ariel, the youngest daughter of King Triton, who dreams of becoming a human. The animated version of The Little Mermaid was released in 1989 and was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, with music by the legendary Alan Menken. Disney has been bringing some of its animated classics (or specific characters, like Maleficent and Cruella) to the real world for a while now, and among its upcoming adaptations is The Little Mermaid. There have been various trends in the film industry in recent years, most notably connected universes, but there has also been an increase in live-action adaptations of animated movies, especially those from the Mouse House.
