Of Disney's obsession with live action remakes... this is the one I'm probably most interested in. It's the one that makes the most sense to remake.

Until all the racist ass holes came out of the ground, and ranted how Ariel shouldn't be a black girl, I'd have put Little Mermaid near the bottom, but now just because it's pissing off the racist segment, that one I might have to do too.

The Little Mermaid 2017 - Official Trailer

You're right but at the same time I have quite enjoyed television movies and low budget films with that special someone in the cast. For example, I thought the Amityville Horror with Patty Duke (the 4th movie, I believe) was pretty interesting, and not even despite its low budget, because of it.

Besides you're not 100% correct about how the single star drains the pool of resources. Oftentimes these stars act as investment magnets, so people are more willing to help produce the film if it has a star such as Shirley MacClaine. Look at Reservoir Dogs -- did Harvey Keitel detract or attract from the success of the film, and the long term successes of Quentin Tarrantino, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth and Chris Penn? Like international acclaim -- for a low budget flick from a nobody.

I'm always very curious about these types of films. It requires, for me, an almost scientific, socioeconomic evaluation of the film making process to fully appreciate, or just a curiosity of film and social interactions portrayed in film and around film sets and the bureaucracy of generating the funds and jerryrigging devices to fulfill smaller budget scenarios which drive such a project as this to fruition.

I'm very interested in seeing this movie because it looks like it could actually be good and not just a thing to pan because of the limitations.

I had a film professor who wrote a couple Jean Claude Van Damme direct to DVD movies and his view of film projects was that they are nearly impossible to complete objectives that require self sacrifice and a warrior spirit to fully realize.

Films remind me of how different societies growths are based upon resource allocation, so some societies become empires and some remain scattered tribes and disparate families. Same as in film; this is like a missing link. Strange and curious to behold but human.

Besides, you don't give a fuck about mermaid movies. This is being made for kids that like mermaids lol -- I grew up watching Disney's Little Mermaid, had every word of the film memorized, but I'm certain it didn't matter that it had a better staff and bigger budget because I also had a made for tv dinosaur movie's rap song memorized and written down in phonetic child sound language.

This looks... absolutely terrible. And with that special someone in the cast, I think we all know where the majority of the budget went to.

The Little Mermaid 2017 - Official Trailer

HugeJerk says...

Disney doesn't own "The Little Mermaid"... it's public domain, originally from Hans Christian Andersen's story written in the 1800's.

Disney might have a trademark on their graphic for "The Little Mermaid", which probably always has "Disney's" in it.

Shepppard said:

Welp, real or fan made.. There's no way in hell disney is going to let them get away with the title.

Pretty sure that's trademark infringement, and being as Disney is making a billion live action remakes of all their old films (..including the lion king) I can only assume that this is going to be renamed insanely quickly.

Moana Official Trailer

poolcleaner says...

Saw it with my wife, we loved it but the chicken's antics got a little old. It was like Little Mermaid with either only Flounder or Sebastian, so the slapstick is always one-sided.

Enough with that witty banter. Fetch me a sandwich!

Another movie about empowering women, we just don't have enough of those.

Indeed, we really don't. Especially when it comes to children's movies, which have a long history of sexist and patriarchal representations of women/women's roles. Here's a humorous take on a few of them:

So is this the best way to remedy this? Make a movie measuring a girl's worth against her ability to do or better exactly what boys do?
