    • Halle Bailey's casting as Princess Ariel. The most obvious difference between the animated film and the new live-action movie is Ariel herself. When the 23-year-old singer was announced as the lead of the film in 2019, the news was met with intense racist backlash as people decried changing Ariel into a Black mermaid.
    • The live-action remake opens with a quote from author Hans Christian Andersen. The Little Mermaid pays tribute to its origins, opening with an epigraph attributed to the author of the 1837 fairy tale from which Disney's adaptations are based.
    • Princess Ariel gets aged up. Ariel is 16 years old in the animated film, which certainly lends to her willfully young behavior, but makes her quick marriage to Eric a little worrying.
    • Prince Eric gets a purpose. While Disney's more recent princes are notable for having distinct personalities, desires and backstories, that wasn't true for their predecessors.
  3. May 26, 2023 · Here are 13 ways the remake, directed by Rob Marshall, differs from the original. 1. Ariel has locs. Halle Bailey, whose casting as Ariel led to a racist backlash, and the crew knew that...

    • Missing “Fathoms” The differences begin early on, as the movie no longer starts with “Fathoms Below,” the sea shanty that opens the original film. The music that underscores the song and sequence is soaring Alan Menken finery and, while Menken returned for the remake, it’s hard to beat the gusto that the original movie started off with.
    • Eerily Lifelike Creatures. Now we’re onto more highly contested changes, like making the designs for Flounder, Scuttle (no longer a seagull, now some kind of diving bird), and Sebastian eerily lifelike.
    • A Different Job for Sebastian. One thing that is easy to forget about the original film is how Sebastian (voiced, wonderfully, by Samuel E. Wright, who passed away in 2021) was a conductor.
    • All About the Sisters. Not only have Ariel’s sisters had their names changed from Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana to Tamika, Perla, Caspia, Indira, Mala and Karina, but now the girls no longer live in the undersea kingdom of Atlantica.

    • Merpeople & Humans Reconcile. While the animated The Little Mermaid never explains the divide between humans and merpeople, the live-action one does. Their conflict is due to the two cultures not understanding one another.
    • Ariel & Eric Leave To Explore The Uncharted Regions’ The previous animated version of the movie sees Ariel and Eric marry and sail off together in the end, and while the live-action version discusses them marrying, it isn’t made explicit whether they’re married yet or not in the final moments of the film.
    • Ariel Kills Ursula, Not Eric. During the 1989 animated movie, the big battle against Ursula happens in the middle of the ocean because Eric’s wedding to Vanessa is actually happening on a ship at sea.
    • Vanessa And Eric Only Plan To Announce Their Engagement In One Day. Disney Princess movies are known for their relationships moving very quickly. True love’s kiss between two characters means they are suddenly ready to get married.
