i thought it was decent at best but i still prefer the original. the new songs besides eric’s were awful, especially scuttle’s rap, and it was way too long (almost an hour longer than the original). what i really liked though was ariel’s chemistry with eric which was so much better than the original, but otherwise i don’t think i’ll be watching this version again.
Eric song was not great not sure why it was added. Scuttles was so bad I found it enjoyable. I watched the original back to back and the obvious thing was reducing how love struck Ariel was. Which is alot to unpack so I’ll pass. So glad they got rid of the chef v sebastion scene. Wished they explained how humans killed her mom. Like were people eating mermaids to get immortality or did a dumb salor harpoon her. I was also confused in how the “precious” siren song saved Eric or why they needed to make him adopted. Found it interesting they made Ariel kill Ursula after she showed Eric be a good sailor and she never was a ship before. Other than that I found it enjoyable with actors doing there best. Still better than little mermaid 2.
