What would you give up to live the life that have the life that you wanted to live? What would you do to be the person that you dreamed of? What would you do to be with the person you wanted to be with? Would you give up your voice?
We don’t think we would. But we’re not Ariel and this isn’t a movie. If we were Ariel and it was the story of The Little Mermaid, yes we would.
Even if it was to Ursula.
The clip of Poor Unfortunate Souls has been released and it is everything that we thought it would be and more.
The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey as Ariel; Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric; Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian; Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle; Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder; Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina; Art Malik as Sir Grimsby; Javier Bardem as King Triton; and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.
The Little Mermaid will release in theaters on May 26th. Have you gotten your tickets yet?
