On Friday, the first trailer for the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey debuted at Disney's biennial D23 Expo.
I (Karlton) was in the building for the event, and OH BOY! Disney treated us to an exclusive clip of Halle singing the film's iconic song, "Part of Your World."
And LET ME TELL YOU: Although the CGI is a work in progress, the footage still looks great. And, of course, Halle BODIES the vocals. I mean, I'm not even a huge fan of The Little Mermaid, and I was in awe.
Afterward, Disney brought Halle to the stage, and she was just so pure and joyous.
Bruh. @HalleBailey as Ariel is... wow. #D23Expo2022 just showed the entire "Part of their World" sequence and Halle's voice and take on it are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Here is Halle speaking on the film. #TheLittleMermaid
The crowd was on FIRE for my girl. We can all agree she looks amazing as Ariel, especially with her red locs. Halle even had an underwater glow that I can't wait to see more of.
Naturally, the teaser trailer had people feeling very emotional:
halle really is the perfect ariel no i just really need a moment
halle is THEEE little mermaid like... woah
me being carried out the theater after hearing Halle's version of Part of Your World
The Little Mermaid (2023) is already the best Disney live action remake I do not give a FUCK
me running to disney headquarters to get the live action little mermaid hard drive
i don’t care what ariel looked like in the original little mermaid im telling my kids that ariel was black with dreadlocks. from now on halle is the only little mermaid that matters
Don't you just love Halle? I do, too! She was born for this role.
