The Little Mermaid Trailer REACTIONS Fans HATED..

Welcome back to Film Nerds. Here’s some news for you about the Little Mermaid trailer. Disney has had to disable dislikes on its teaser trailer for the new live-action film The Little Mermaid after backlash due to casting a black actress in the title role. However, parents have been flooding social media with clips of their young daughters delighted that Ariel “is brown like me”. The official trailer was posted on the Walt Disney Studios’ YouTube channel on Friday, quickly amassing 17 million views in a matter of days, reports the New York Post. The video currently has more than 800,000 likes and counting, but Disney was forced to disable dislikes after receiving 1.8 million thumbs-downs in just two days, Daily Mail reported.

Some of those detractors have taken to Twitter to complain about Ariel being played by a black woman using the hashtag #NotMyAriel, but many others have called out the racist reaction, poking fun at the ridiculousness of the backlash. But others have pointed out that she is a fictional character who lives in a magical world – and race does not factor into the character’s story. Actress Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the 1989 film, has supported Bailey’s reprisal of the iconic role since Disney first announced the casting. In related news, social media was flooded with adorable videos of little black girls excitedly discovering that the new Ariel, played by Halle Bailey, looks just like them. One viral TikTok, captioned, “When your favorite Disney princess looks like you,” shows a three-year-old girl immediately sitting up once Ariel swims across the screen. The girl gasps and becomes completely entranced by the trailer. She puts her hand over her heart and says, “I think she’s brown.” Beaming, the young girl then says: “Brown Ariel is cute.” The video quickly amassed 5.3 million views and thousands of comments from people expressing their love for the heartwarming video – including a comment from Bailey herself.
