The only thing that matters about this move is its cover of Under the Sea. I was very disappointed with the new "Be Prepared" Disney, so you better not mess this up!

I don't actually plan to see it but I will look the song up after the fact on YouTube.

How do you even sing underwater, shouldn't it be like super low, like whale sounds or something? Or has it been dubbed from Mermaid into English for our own benefit and she's actually going REEEEOOOOUUUUU REEEEE

True, but that's a pretty low bar. Feel sorry for the Cinematography/director with the look of this film, as they are obviously trying to add colour where ever they can, but also make it look "realistic". Maybe it works in the film as a whole but just from the trailer it looks pretty dull and murky to me, as yeah that's sort of what the deep sea looks like. Like the lion king, the idea just works so much better as an animation thing than a live action thing.

Disney should really just stick to Animation their live action stuff sucks.

I haven't watched even one of the live-action Disney remakes and I'm holding on to that with pride so I can be one of the "I've never even seen Star Wars" people in the retirement home government-mandated elder processing camp.

I'm not a brain genius cinematographer but I think, like, that might be the point. To Ariel, the ocean is boring and dull and monochromatic, the human world is exciting and vibrant

Disney's live action remakes do loving suck though so I guess we'll see

He probably took a nice big poo poo while eating it because he's a goat and doesnt' give a gently caress if he shits where he eats.

If they go all out in the vibrant colors when she goes above the sea that would actually be a really cool thematic use of cinematography, and I'd actually really respect Disney/who ever put the trailer together, for doing that and also not spoiling the hell out of that moment.

In Europe they had to rename that movie to "Vajaina" because people wouldn't get the sexual Moana -> "moaner" pun (as europeans do not moan during intercourse, they honk).

Yeah, guys, so, it's like also all the mermaid stuff. But it's not your grandfather's mermaid! It's a new twist on it. Grittier, darker! It's more about the lovecraftian angle of it all. hosed up human fish hybrids breeding in dark caves under the sea, driven mad by living in darkness and wetness for eons. And there is also cutulu. And there is also drug addiction. And that one crab. Bastian? He smokes! Anyway, we are looking for $500 million in funding and access to unlimited quantities of coke

She's the main character of the movie, so it's always technically been her world from the start.

I’m mad that Disney didn’t commit hard enough to the woke stuff and didn’t make the little mermaid a gay black dude to honor the original story which was an allegory for Hans Christian Andersen (probably) being closeted gay man pining after a dude he could never have thanks to history treating LGBTQ people like poo poo.

Make Lil Nas X the mermaid, you cowards.

Tried to watch it on a boring flight. I didn't get past the opening scene which is set on a boat with Will Smith entertaining some kids with a tuneless but mercifully truncated butchering of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's "Arabian Nights". Everything looked so flat and dumb and without an ounce of fun or cleverness compared to the original opening, which set a fun whimsical tone and made you feel like at the very least you were in for an experience put together by passionate creatives. The live action opening just said here's some corporate IP poo poo perfunctorily rendered ~*realistically*~
