It was announced that 19 y/o Halle Bailey, the Grown-Ish Star will take on the lead role in the classic children's film that have many praising the decision while others call it animation "goliath" or "tokensim" stating it is disrespectful to change the way the character looks and Disney should stay true to Hans Christian Anderson's original incarnation The Danish writer's original story, published in 1837 centres around a young beautiful mermaid who described is having "skin as clear and delicate as a rose-leaf and eyes as blue as the deepest sea" She lives in the sea with her father, The Sea King and grandmother, the young mermaid dreams of experiencing life on land only to be met by tragedy It has been a Disney favourie for many years as Ariel is known for bright red hair There was joy and excitement for some but others are slamming the new take.. There was initial confusion that Halle Bailey was Halle Berry as the actress took to twitter to say she will not be playing Ariel but is congratulatory of the new take on the Little mermaid. Jordin Sparks also congratulated the actress as well as Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland This may be halle's biggest role but she has been known for her other work as well since starring in Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts" in 2013 and her sister, Chloe star in the hit TV Series, Grown-ish on Freeform Rob Marshall, who's directing the movie is praising the star after an extensive search and said she possesses the rare combination of spirit, heart and youth and innocent plus a gorgeous singing voice..

Lol at all those people defending the move, I'm sure they would be pissed if a black character got changed to white for a remake The weird part is a lot of the arguments are basically carbon copies of arguments people make when the races are swapped. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think they're mocking those people, but I'm probably give them too much credit. Honestly there probably woudln't have been a backlash at all outside of really small extremist circles if there we hadn't been inundated with casting race baiting constantly for the last decade. ...

Changing the race from any color to any color is not a big deal when they are fictional characters. People need to stop getting mad over stupid fucking shit, whether its white to whatever or whatever to white.

Once again, the blackwashing of Hollywood continues!
While part of me hopes that the movie tanks for this stupid decision, I know that Lin-Manuel is doing the music so it's still going to be A*M*A*Z*I*N*G, no matter who they cast as Ariel. More importantly, now they're obligated to cast Idris Elba as Poseidon >_> Full Throttle posted... Is Halle Hot? No, but Ariel is supposed to be a cute character anyway so hotness shouldn't necessarily be a factor. Otherwise her body looks ok, but her face is kinda meh. MICHALECOLE posted... Changing the race from any color to any color is not a big deal when they are fictional characters. People need to stop getting mad over stupid fucking shit, whether its white to whatever or whatever to white. Changing an established race to another race to pander to demographics is generally stupid, whether or not the character is fictional. It's different when there's no visual basis for the character -- such as something that's only been done as a conventional book -- but when you're just randomly changing the race, it's always fucking stupid. More importantly, this just plays into discrimination against redheads considering they rewrote MJ just before this. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
