We got to screen the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, and of course we didn’t know what to expect. And what a delight this film is, and it is visually stunning. I right away gave it, two thumbs up! 
If you remember the animated musical classic, and loved it! I think you’ll enjoy this version also. Halle Bailey is perfect as Ariel. Her voice is amazing, when she sang “Part of your World,” you had a room full of movie critics breakout in spontaneous clapping. There was lots of good laughter through the theater, especially when Daveed Diggs (voice of Sebastian) and Awkwafina (voice of Scuttle) were on screen. Especially during the rap they did together. Which was one of the highlights of the film.
Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, was fantastic. The whole cast were enjoyable to watch. It includes Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Jacob Tremblay (voice of Flounder), Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, and Javier Bardem as King Triton.

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.
