If you go into it thinking it's going to be terrible because that's all you've heard, controversy and drama... It actually wasn't bad🤷🏽

Not amazing or anything.

But it was a little longer than the cartoon. They added a couple new songs (when she can't speak she's singing in her mind now 🤣🤣)

In my opinion the cartoon I had at a 9 because I had a crush on Ariel as a kid. But without that it's maybe an 8. This one in my mind is maybe a 6 or 7. Definitely watchable. Funny at times. Definitely a kids movie.

To me the best parts of the cartoon were Ariel was hot and Sebastian was hilarious. To me the best parts of this one is Sebastian is hilarious, but gets outshined by Awkafina as the seagull skuttlebutt and she even has a pretty entertaining song called skuttlebutt near the end. 🤷🏽

The things you're supposed to be mad at and that are controversial, them race swapping the character. Wasn't really in my head at all. Every sister is a different race and it just makes me think about different mythologies and their siren stories... But the one thing that did irl me was that the dad is 1 race then all the daughters are different races and I'm like oh cool dude you're an equal opportunity fucker. Rad I like em exotic too🤷🏽

But then I started looking at them and I was like... None of your kids look like you dude... They can be different races but like wouldn't they have at least SOME of your qualities? Unless it's the fish tail... But it's not because all of those are different colors and have different fins too🤷🏽

But whatever
