‘The Little Mermaid’ Live Action Trailer: Critics Dissect Brand New Story; Fans React

Fans of the animated story of Ariel will be disappointed with the new bit of news regarding the "Little Mermaid" live action trailer. The recently released trailer has gained a lot of views but it appears not everyone is happy about it.

According to Bustle's review of the "Little Mermaid" live action trailer, it seems this version will not beat the popularity of Disney's animated story. As fans know, Ariel's animated starrer has broken records. It appears that some critics and fans are not thrilled with the retelling of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale.

On the other hand, there's hope for "The Little Mermaid" live action adaptation. Because of its brand new retelling and twists, there is a chance fans will be interested. The only problem would be how it would appeal to other viewers aside from kids.

The trailer gave a bit of what fans should see in the film. Poppy Drayton, who will play "The Little Mermaid," will be singing. The story will be told by Shirley MacLaine's character. Loreto Peralta will also star as the sister of William Moseley's character.

It is worth noting that "The Little Mermaid" live action 2017 is not the one that Disney is working on at the moment. This could be the very reason why the story is different from the film giant's original Ariel story where the mermaid sold her voice to have human legs.

Mirror notes that the "Little Mermaid" live action trailer has received over 4 million views since its release last week. It remains to be seen how the film will do on the big screens. Still, some moviegoers are hoping to get a good experience from the film.

Meanwhile, fans who have seen the "Little Mermaid" live action trailer have expressed different views about the teaser. Some noted that the trailer was misleading due to its title. Some fans were misled to believe that the trailer is for Disney's live action adaptation.

"The Little Mermaid" live action is expected to hit the big screens sometime this year. Stay tuned for more updates.
