The Little Mermaid’s Rotten Tomatoes Is A Hilarious Reality Check For Disney’s Remakes
The Little Mermaid’s debut Rotten Tomatoes score may be positive, but its praise highlights an ironic reality about the quality of Disney’s live-action remakes. Hitting theaters May 26, The Little Mermaid boasts a star-studded cast with Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Javier Bardem, Jacob Tremblay, and Melissa McCarthy tackling the iconic characters from the 1989 animated classic. The Little Mermaid follows a long string of Disney’s live-action remakes of animated films over the past 13 years, including Alice in Wonderland (2010), Cinderella (2015), Beauty and the Beast (2017), and The Lion King (2019). Despite the remarkable anticipation for the 2023 film, caution was warranted for its quality given the divisive results of Disney’s other recent live-action remake efforts.
