For us, it's "these are not the droids we're looking for." I saw something clever yesterday - I saw a car in a parking lot that had custom license plate front and back, that said simply, "DROIDS" around which they had that plastic frame that usually says "My other car is a blank blank" or some car dealer. Well the top said "These are not the" and the bottom said "you are looking for". Front and back. |

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was totally entertained, which is all I require out of a movie--I don't need to pick it apart to enjoy it. Melissa McCarthy was fabulous as Ursula, but Sebastian was my favorite character. I totally agree. It was not a great movie as far as movies go, but it was entertaining and well worth seeing. |

The Little Mermaid woes continue..... 11.6M domestic haul for the weekend 468m total domestic + international box office. The movie has made it to $499 million at the Box Office. Almost to the breakeven point, but its officially labeled a "loss" for Disney. At least this one will nearly breakeven and not hurt the bottom line. |

Since this thread has popped back from the dead......sort of.
The theater run has ended and the movie has grossed $569 million worldwide. Currently the 7th highest grossing movie for the year. Financially, the movie is a bust. Disney was hoping for a $1.1-$1.2 billion performance. Disney will spin the movie as a win, they are the best at PR. Disney spent so much on pushing this movie.
Streaming on Disney+ has started, I am still not watching. I have not seen any of the live action remakes and don't ever plan on starting. I like the animated movies, preferably in their original adaptation.

Despite the stubbornness above, well worth watching. All of them. It’s still Disney.

I just finished watching it. I didn't realize that Jonah Hauer-King was Eric. I also didn't know he had that kind of singing voice. Been a fan of Halle Bailey's acting for a while but also nice to hear her voice (I knew she was a singer but hadn't heard her sing). Both are excellent actors and singers. Loved all the new music too.
While I like Melissa McCarthy and her acting okay, her singing chops weren't up to snuff for me. Probably the worst casting choice to me.
I think it's one of the better live actions they did. Not that I love it as much as some other movies, but it was well done.

We finally watched it this weekend! The Little Mermaid was my favorite movie growing up so I was excited to see what Disney did with the live-action. Everyone in my family enjoyed it! We all agreed that it was our favorite live-action that Disney has done. While I do prefer new stories and content, I'm not a hater of the live-action remakes.
